The Vision in the Museum

(This occurs after Pandora and Simon get lost in the museum and end up in the secret room. In the secret room, there are a whole bunch of things that SHOULD NOT BE IN A MUSEUM: an enormous library of history books about stuff that never happened, a glowing blue orb in the middle of the room, and an enormous skeleton of a dragon that pretty much occupies the perimeter of the room.)

Pandora: "Wow. That's the biggest dinosaur I've ever seen."
Simon: "That isn't a dinosaur! It's a dragon! See the wings?"
Pandora: "I'm pretty sure some dinosaurs had wings. What's a dragon?"
Simon: "It's a giant fire breathing monster. How do you not know what a dragon is?"
Pandora: "I'm a girl. That sounds like boy stuff."
Simon: "Dragons can be girl stuff too!"
(Pandora is distracted by the big shiny blue orb. I mean, wouldn't you be?)
Pandora: "Ooh, this is pretty."
(As she touches it, the entire room is bathed in blue light, and shapes start to form. We see a big cavern. In this cavern is the very-much alive dragon. In front of the dragon are three knights of the Unbroken Circle. At this point in the story, the only person who knows what this means is the author. Behind the dragon is a woman, standing, her hands bound by chains to two upright pillars. Very obviously a princess.)
Simon: "What did you do?"
Pandora: "Nothing! I just touched it! Is that the dragon thing? Who is the pretty lady behind it?"
Simon: "She looks like a princess! Those knights must be there to rescue her."
Pandora: "Why can't she rescue herself?"
Simon: "Because that's how it works. The dragon kidnaps the princess, the knights kill the dragon and rescue her, and they all live happily ever after."
(The three knights attack the dragon. Quickly, it shoots fire out of its mouth, hitting two of the knights, knocking one of them off his feet. The dragon then sweeps one of its claws, basically knocking the third knight into the wall like it is throwing a doll. The third knight, amidst dodging the dragon's tail, takes his strange looking sword, and throws it at the princess, who catches it. Suddenly, the princess, previously just standing there, flexes her arms, and literally rips the chains holding her apart. Then, she leaps into the air, onto the dragon's back, and plunges the sword into the beast. The dragon falls down, and the princess hops off of its back and walks towards the cavern's entrance, the knights following submissively behind her. The image disappears, and the room loses its blue glow. Simon and Pandora look at each other.)
Pandora: "...'Hi, my name is Simon, and I'm wrong about everything.'"
(Pandora spots something in the corner. She has some attention span issues. Mounted on the wall is the sword the princess used. It looks ancient and fragile, but still very impressive. She goes over and takes the sword off of the wall.)
Simon: "Ooh, let me see that!"
Pandora: "Sorry. Swords are girl stuff."

Thus introduces the formidable Queen Lydia of the Order of the Unbroken Circle... warrior, dragonslayer and, eventually, Pandora and Simon's main antagonist. We'll go in to that a bit later, though...
