"Did the note say how soon?" She asked Haze.

"It said sometime this afternoon." 

"Why is she coming by?" She inquired.

"Just to talk," She replied. 

"She's always welcome here.' The empress told her.

"I'm happy she's coming to visit. I asked her in the last message." Haze replied.

"That's fine, anytime." The empress replied, sipping on the brew. 

Haze nodded to her.

"How's the studying light magick coming along?" 

Looking to the floor, then her half emptied mug; she finally looked to the empress with sadness. 

"Well.." Her voice trailed off...

"What's wrong dear? If you're having trouble, I'll help." 

"Most of it I'm doing fine, It's the spirit quests." She said.

"The deep rooted meditations?' The empress questioned.

"Yes, those." 

"A lot of creatures do. I have a potion for that." She replied.

"No kidding?" She said as the empress got up and left the room momentarily; then returned handing her a small bottle.

"I swear, you have got a potion for everything!" She commented.

"Pretty much, yes I do." The empress told her.
