The empress bolted out the door running as fast as possible until she had reached the dragon, a few yards from the castle's entrance. When she stopped, face to face with him, Lylithe nodded, stepping closer to the palace door, waiting on Willow. 

   "Soranto I'm so glad to see you," She said, Hugging him, then as she let go, looked at him; "How did you know I was here?' 

"If there is a fairy function, you're usually involved." He said to her.

Giggling, she spoke softly; "It's nice to see your sense of humor hasn't changed." 

"No but now Willow's grown, how will you spend your time, instead off rushing off to rescue faeries?' 

"I'm sure the universe will find ways to keep me busy." She said.

"I wouldn't doubt it." 

"I've really missed these conversations." She said to him.

"You know where I live." He said.

"How's Kadrid?" She inquired.

"Okay, but she's felt a little weak latley." He said.

"I'll try to visit this week." She replied.

"If you don't I'll have to eat you." He said teasing her.

    She sat down on the ground with him, visiting for about an hour before saying goodbye and getting back to the graduation celebration.
