By the end of the night the empress was glad they had come out here. They both told Trinity goodbye before exiting the pub .
"What have the brethren been up to? She asked as they went into the forest.

About the same, Richard craving action and battle. Stergis is fine either way," He informed her. 

"That sounds like them." She said as they hiked back up the path with the bright moon-light shining down. 

What would you like to do when we get back?" She asked.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Wine in the courtyard." She stated.

That would be a god way to end the evening, sure." He replied walking along side her as a bright pink imp flew right over his head.

Another twenty minutes passed between them when she looked to Daniel. We're almost there." 

Oh good. Will Amberosia be home?"

"Maybe. If she's nt home then she's with Magellan." 

"Ah." He said.

"They'r e really good friends. I'm glad she has someone besides me and the gargoyle." She explained to him.

After a long pause he responded; "I can understand that one." 

Then the two of them marched up the hill and to her waiting castle.
