Hours later Haze heard a knock and then the faint sound of the hob-goblin wobbling down the large marble and cobblestone hallway. She leaped up, exiting the guestroom and headed down the stairs just in time to see Sage escorting the Fairy Queen inside. Quickly floating to them, shimmering with excitement as she landed at the bottom of the stairs with grace and elegance. 

        "So glad you could make the trip here." She greeted the queen. 

        "Me too, where's the empress?" Lily questioned.

         "In her office, where else?" Haze replied.

        Lily cackled with laughter. 

       "Let's go there." Haze suggested.

       "Sure that would be fine with me. I want to talk to you both." She said, following Haze down the hall. 

   Haze softly opened the door and led the Queen into the room. 

"Lily, I'm so glad to see you again, please sit wherever you like." She greeted the queen.

"It's great to see you too." She replied.

As lily got situated the empress looked at her. 

"Pixie brew?' She asked.

"You need to get a bottle of wine for the three of us." She ordered.

"Sure but why?' The empress asked her. 

"Get the wine trust me," She said. 

The empress did just as her fairy god daughter had asked. Quickly returning , popping the cork and pouring as she took her favorite chair. 

"Now what is going on?" She demanded.

"Willow's graduating E.L.F U early, next month I'm throwing a huge party for her. Everyone in this castle is invited, Ludwig too." The queen blurted out to them.
