All of them nodded, excited for this event as well as the fun and drinks afterwards.

The empress just hoped that Lily would stay calm. Mostly elegant and well reserved, but there were times her temperament was that of a pissed off leprechaun. She hoped this wasn't one of those times.

   Everything was ready for the ceremony to commence. She led the group of them out into the courtyard.
 
"I don't advise anyone to go wandering though the forest." She said.

All of them giggled a little.

"Chaos come here."  The empress said and the fairy flew to her.

"Can I say something first?" She asked.

  "Of course."

   Chaos nodded then turned to the group of them.

  "I know I've wronged some of you. I'm sorry for my past and I'll do what I can to show I have changed. It means a great deal that you're here."

   Lily just eye-balled the other fairy, blood boiling. 

The empress sensed it right away. She didn't think Lily was capable of hate.

    Taking a deep breath, she focused on Chaos, lighting white and silver candles in a circle around the fairy.
The ritual had begun.....
