Astra heard a young female voice beside her. "Astra?" it called. "A... are you okay?"

Astra looked towards her. It was her little sister, Agra, and she was sitting at her own desk. If Astra thought the desk she had just lept out of was too big for her, her sister looked positively tiny in her own desk.

"If you want," she continued, "I can tell Miss Kibbi to wait for you to go to the nurse."

Astra turned and smiled at her. "No, Agra," she said, trying not to pay attention to how high-pitched her voice now sounded. "Everything's going to be fine."

Just then, Miss Kibbi entered the room, and speaking over the maps she was carrying called out, "All right, children. I know you're excited from your fencing lesson with Anina, but please try to calm down."

Astra felt her hear leap. Anina was alive? This was definitely her past. [3380] How wonderful! While the other chilren settled themselves in their chairs, Astra couldn't help but wonder if she could make things go differently ths time. Maybe if she stopped Anina from going to that battle, she would live! Maybe she could help Astra avoid being kidnapped 15 years later! Maybe everything would work up happily ever after!

"Astra," called Miss Kibbi, "since you're so happily standing away daydreaming, maybe you could help me hold this map up."

The other children laughed. Astra obliged by going to the front; she remembered Miss Kibbi lost her niceness if she was disobeyed.

"Right, children," said Miss Kibbi. "Who can tell me what this is?" She pointed to a dot on the coastline.

"Themyscira, capitol of Aquilaria," the children chanted.

"And why is it so important?" Miss Kibbi asked again.

"Because it's where we live," the children chanted back.

"Good! Now, who can tell me what this is?" She pointed to a dark blob in the middle of the map.

Several hands shot up. Miss Kibbi fingered Agra. "They're the Shreken Mountains," said Agra happily. "They divide Allaria from Aquilaria."

"Very good, Agra. Now, who can tell me what this dot on the mountains indicates?"

Seeing that nobody was raising their hand, Astra timidly put her own in the air, being careful not to let the map fall with the other.

"Yes, Astra?"

"Those are the Northern Caves; the lair of the dragon."

  1. Everyone laughed. "A dragon in the Northern Caves? How absurd!"
  2. Miss Kibbi suddenly turned very stern
