"Where are we heading?" The dragon inquired.

The empress nodded and pulled out the map, glancing down until she found out where they were going.

"We're three miles from Kythe territory." 

"That's not good, miss." Vamier explained with a horrified look.

"Why do you say that?" She asked.

"Kythe are a rare breed of werewolf zombies. We need to find a way around it." 

"Climb on, I'll fly us out of the area." The dragon told them.

Once they climbed on he bolted to the skies, quickly getting the three of them out of Kythe territory.

Twenty minutes later they were safe, soaring above the mass of indigo blue clouds, out of the werewolf-zombies home. 

"I'm glad you got us out of there so quickly." Vamier complimented the dragon. 

"No problem little guy."  Soranto called back, increasing speed.

"I don't want to sound like an old nag-hag, but are we getting anywhere near your home?" The empress asked.

The gremlin peered down one side of the dragon staring at the ground far below them for a few minutes, then slowly lifting his head back up. 

"If i'm right we're about two nights away, maybe less. " 

"Oh that's wonderful to hear. It's been a long but painless journey." She told him.

"I'm glad too." The gremlin replied then grabbed her hand. He looked deep into her eyes.

"I can never truly repay you for this." He told her, eyes watering.

"I won't let any race die off, If I can fix this, I will." She told him.

"You miss are to kind for words. Your soul has to be pure goddess of light." He told her.

She hugged him and then the dragon made gagging noises. He didn't do cuddly mushy stuff.

   The empress just rolled her eyes and watched the oncoming horizon dim as evening steadily approached.They'd now flown only a few hours but knew it would be dark soon. Waiting it out in silence she peered down to see a group of sea foam green mountains holding in a majestic waterfall. The mist rising up from the water seemed to glitter in the fading light of day. 

  Soranto flapped his wings harder, going as fast as possible, trying to shed some of the time off of this quest they were on.  His magical person was constantly rescuing someone or something.
