Soranto flew across the skies quickly, annoyed with having to go first thing in the morning. He let out a low growl as they left Goblin's Hollow territory.The dragon said nothing for a long time but just flew on, trying not to let it show how much he loathed going to the Fairy Kingdom. He only liked one fairy, the queen. 

         She was the only fairy he could really withstand The rest of them didn't matter in his eyes. They were always flying in his face, throwing that fairy dust at him. He hated that stuff, it always seemed to go right up his nose- causing him to sneeze uncontrollably. 

            However he also knew if it weren't important the empress wouldn't have asked to go there. He hoped the queen was okay.  He flapped his wings a little harder to pick up more speed, wanting to get the empress there a little faster.  

    He flew straight on, over villages, other forests and mountains, refusing to stop until they arrived a few hours later. He performed a smooth landing about four feet from the entrance to Lily's castle, over-looking the entire kingdom.  The empress climbed down the dragon, then stood before him.

"Thank you, I know how much you despise early morning trips and I'm grateful." She told him. 

"Uh-huh" Was all he spoke before curling into a huge ball and going to sleep. 

            The empress turned and walked to the castle, wanting to know what this message was all about. Taking a breath, then she knocked on the doors and waited.
