She looked around. The room was large and decorated, with a fancy
chandelier in the center. Out the window, she could see ginkoes, palms,
and other jungle trees. At one end, there were three large chairs, the

Astra's idleness in her childhood. Astra traced the letters with her
finger, although her finger went mostly clean through the chair.
"This is my throne," she thought. "I'm home." She closed her eyes and leaped for joy. "I'm home! "It's over! The nightmare is over! No more dragon! No more deathly perils! No more demented knight!" She opened her eyes, and realized she had jumped into the chandelier. She wasn't hanging from the chandelier, she was in it! "The nightmare isn't over," she thought, and this though made her sink back to the floor. "I really did die, and am here only to haunt my old home." She lied on the floor and wept into her white robe.
