Once they were inside the cave, nightfall approached and the stars came out. As the nocturnal hours move forward, the empress tried to build a friendship of survival. If the fairy could play nice, then she could,too.

   " you're welcome to stay here, tonight. "

"Thank you I know this isn't easy for you."

" No it isn't but things do change." She replied.

"Yes they do. Where's the portal?"She asked.

"In a guarded palace, area 51."

"Is it far away?" The empress asked her.

After a long pause, " It's far enough, but we'll get there."

"Thirty miles?" Ralvania guessed.

"It may take a couple of days maybe three to get there."

"Oh." She responded to the fairy.

"Would you care for a lil wine?" She offered.

"There's wine here?" She said eyes wide.

"It's not as good as what you're used to." She responded.

"That would be nice." The empress replied.
