By the late afternoon she'd helped Rose then an elf and two trolls. She couldn't believe it. It had been a few moons since she'd been that busy. It had helped the day press on quickly. She relaxed in her office until nightfall, when Sage had knocked on her door.

"Come in,"

"Another to see you." He explained the intrusion.

"Who's here this time?" She asked.

"It's Salem."

"Bring him in, it has to be important.' She responded. 

   He bowed to her and went to get the hybrid. She was more than curious about the reason behind his visit. Salem never stopped to just visit, not without his Pandora.Ever.

Five minutes later he stepped into her doorway, alone.

"Empress," He greeted.

"Salem it's great to see you, please sit." Then a horrid thought struck her worrying mind."Is Soranto okay?" 

"Yes, we're all fine." 

"Then what's going on?" She asked with a puzzled look.

"It's about Dawn."

"The vampire turned fire fairy?" She asked him.

"The same."

"What's the problem with her?"

He stared at her for a long moment, as if collecting his inner most thoughts.

 "She wishes to move out."

"So let her." She replied.

"It's not that, she wants to move out but she doesn't want to live alone just yet." He elaborated for her.
