When she returned inside the palace, the crowd had thinned out by a lot. Mostly some of the gnomes and trolls had left, as well as quite a few elves. Everntually the warlocks, sorcerers and thier mates headed back; their path home was quite a bit further than her own. As the night went on, it seemed that Haze had made a few friends here. 

      It was a wonderful grand celebration. The empress loved every minute of it. The best part of the whole thing? She didn't have to rescue anyone. TRhere wasn't a single threat of evil. Things went perfectly for all involved.

           By the end of the night it was the empress and the three faeries. They sat around the large wood table in the dining room, having a little after- party. Lily poured shots for all of them. After the third round of shots, one by one they headed off to the diffrent bed chambers for the night. When the empress made it up the marble stairs to the large guestroom of lavender and silver; it had taken her about thirty seconds to fall into a well deserved slumber.
