"The chest was filled with straw. From deep withinthe straw a strange light glowed and pulsated with intermittent hues of blueand gold. The peasant reached inside and proudly lifted a glowing object. 'No one else in Terrestria possesses such a treasure as this!'

"The three young people stared in wonder. At last, the princess spoke. 'What--what is it?' "
