After walking through the tunnels for another hour and a half the empress spoke up.

  "Okay my legs ache pretty bad. I think I need to stop for a few minutes." The empress told her.

" Absolutley.... I'm glad you decided to trust me. I'd like to repay you in some way." The fairy told her.

"You will, when we return." The empress told her.

  " That sounds fair." Chaos replied.

  " Good. I just want to get home soon. I'm sure there are a few people wondering where I went."

   " Most likely, yes. Is Lily still Queen of the Fairy Kingdom?" She asked.

  "Yes and a mother."

" How old?" She asked.

"She's seventeen now." Ralvania told her.

  " Is there a way to get on the Queen's good side?" She asked.

  " Not right away. Take it one step at a time."

"Okay." She said.

  " First we'll concentrate on getting out of this realm and back to our own." Ralvania said to her.

  "Agreed," the fairy replied.
