The Words of the Book of Gnoth

"It is. The Eye is a portent. Surely you haven't forgotten what is written in the Book of Gnoth, chapter 12, verse 47?

"When falls an Eye
From out the sky,
The King's eldest daughter
Shall have cause to sigh."

"What does that mean?" the King asked.

"It means that something bad is predicted to happen to Princess Astra."

"Something already has," Astra muttered under her breath.

"The Book of Gnoth has never been known to be wrong," the High Priestess went on darkly. "From what she has just said, the Princess has clearly been having strange visions, and these must be linked to the Eye's appearance. "

1. The Book wasn't wrong on this occasion either. Astra soon discovered that if things had seemed bad already, they could still get a lot worse.
2. "So what should we do?" the Queen asked. "Should Astra still go on her quest? That Dragon really is a problem."
3. At that moment anotherAstra walked into the room. "Sorry I'm late," she said breezily. "I'm ready to go off on my quest now." Then she noticed her "twin" and her eyes widened in astonishment.
