Arlow had gotten the complete story of the "Third Copy of Arlow Tsai" from the book.

On the day, the second copy fell apart. That mechanoid version that arrived with space aliens.

A young woman on earth was discovered. Discovered to have been mostly eaten by an alien from another plane of existence. Flesh was devoured, but that only reduced her body mass.

She looked nice.

But her spirit energies were also eaten. She was on the verge of soul-spirit energy collapse.

The attack really had nothing to do with the other space aliens. The ones that took Earth women and replaced them. But that was not how those aliens saw it.

This strange soul-eating alien had come to Earth for a much-needed meal.

It was seeking an Earth Girl specifically. That creature surrendered to the Lan on Earth (once the Lan caught it).

The new ruler of the Earth-Girl-Replacing aliens spent very much of her power on the victim.

Shrinking her to a toddler-sized child (something to tightly pack the ravaged spirit energy) and delivering her to Castle Annovae on another plane of existence.

Welcomed by the King and Queen (and with reluctance by young princess Yva), she was playful.

Always pulling new large objects out of a small strange carry bag.

Her amnesia grew steadily worse. Any attempt to draw out her past or her story resulted in a short coma. She woke from the comas with less and less recollection of where she was from.

She named herself "M.G.", Mystery Girl. Often searching the castle herself, trying to find "M.G.".

When she was not engaged in active play, she would say the most disconcerting things. Words and concepts that were strange and otherworldly. Not at all fitting into a place where magic and royal battles had known rules.

A young prince of a were-bear kingdom, loved the pretty Princes Yva. M.G. supported his cause with every fibre she could muster.

She found in her attention to it, deep wisdom she could retain.

She gave the prince her every counsel. "Tell her she is pretty." "Draw a picture of your wedding." "Now you have to wait. Lots of years. She will feel different about you as you both grow older."

There were no dragons on that planet. Everyone was glad about that.

So when a toddler dragon was found nestled with M.G. in the throne room (the dragon twice the size of the King but clearly interested in play), it was cause for the Mages to visit.

The dragon disappeared with no warning (just as it had appeared).

Only Princess Yva offered any explanation. "One day we all were dashing around the throne room hall. I was a little bored with it. The dragon looked at M.G. and then sniffed M.G.

Then the dragon looked at me and back at M.G.

The dragon seemed to have 'seen' the thing the adults say about M.G. "She is sickly"

M.G. was always so joyful to play, and especially after the dragon arrived. The adults were a bit dubious, but M.G. was elated.

"A dwagon.. a real dwagon! A Castle.. a real castle! A Princess.. A love story! Heehee"

M.G. was easy to tire. The stone steps around the castle were a chore.

She loved the throne room with the enormous windows at one end.

Especially when the sun poured in.
