The two of them kept walking through the thick forest until the fairy Queen went in the oppisite direction.

"What are you doing, the Kingdom is this way." Ralvania asked, puzzled.

"However the portal to the fairy kingdom is this way. It will cut hours off the walk." She said.

"I didn't know there was such a portal." She said.

"No one else does, either." 

               After bolting through the strange portal the two of them landed less than ten minutes from the castle. Both of them ran until they were out of breath and inside the castle doors. The two sat down to rest in the huge dining area. Once the servants brought fresh coffee, the empress took a huge sip of the hot brew. Lily got up and paced back and forth. 

       "I don't know how I'm going to find her...She could be lost hurt or captured by now." Lily ranted.

    "It's okay we can put the word out, get the other fairies to help look for her." She said.

"I'd rather not tell the whole kingdom she ran away." Lily stated, taking a sip of her own mug.

       Just then there was a loud gut wrenching roar outside of the window on the left side of the room. Ralvania and Lily ran to see what had made the sound.

"Kadrid, good to see you." The empress greeted the dragon.

"You too. I found this little pegasus playing in the waterfall.. I think she belongs to the queen." 

"Hi mom." Willow spoke from behind the huge dragon and Lilythe, Kadrid's child. 

"Get in here." Lily snapped. 

Quickly Willow did as she was told.

Lily glared at her daughter. 

"Go to your room. I'll be there in a minute." She ordered her as calmly as she could.

"At least she's okay." Ralvania commented.

"I'm sorry to drag you out here for nothing.." Lily told her.

"It's okay. Good luck honey. I'm going to go." She said.

Lily hugged her tightly before the empress headed out the door and back home, through the portal and into the forest.
