After Haze's second cup of brew, there was a tapping on the window. Haze leaned over to see as the empress turned around. There at the window stood the gargoyle. 

Haze nodded to the empress and then flew over to the window. She opened it and stepped back letting him inside. 

"Thanks. Here you go.' He said handing her a message. 

"I'll give it to her.' Haze responded as he turned, leaping up and flying away. 

She quickly crossed the room and handed the message to the empress. 

"Let's hope it's good news.' The empress replied opening the envelope quickly. 

"I'm sure it is," Haze suggested.

                  The empress sipped the brew, and read it over a couple of times.

"What's it say?' The fairy asked with concern.

"It's a formal invite from the queen. The party is in three day but she wants us to come tonight." She said.

"Oh to help with the party, that might be fun.' Haze replied.

After a quiet pause the empress looked over to her.

"You'll need to pack a magickal bag, I always do." 

"Oh the spell-book, herbs and things?"  She inquired.

"Yes and I'll pack a few gowns for both of us for the event.' She offered.

"Oh you really are the best.' The little fairy squealed to her.

The empress simply nodded.
