Ten minutes later Daniel returned and knocked on hjer chamber door.

"Come in," She coughed out the words.

Slowly opening the door, he looked to her. "It's not him, but are you up for visitors?' He asked.

"Who is it?" 

"Willow and a couple of her friends." He informed her.

"Send them in," She responded.

Daniel nodded quickly, then went to get the changling fairy.

Less than five minutes later he returned with her fairy god-child and two others. The guy must have been rune, the druid. He looked like a warrior fairy. 

"Willow so good to see you," She said. 

"I heard you were sick, so I wanted to cheer you up." She said.

"Who are your friends?' She asked.

"Oh, oops. This big guy here is rune and over here is my room-mate Hazel." She said.

"Are you hybrids, too?" She inquired.

"Yes. I'm a druid Fae- prince." Rune told her.

"I'm a fairy-imp," Hazel said.

"I'm glad to see you've made friends, how's school going?" 

"It's hectic and frustrating but I'm doing fine." She explained.

"Oh good, I'm really proud of you." She said.

"Thank you.. Oh we brought gifts for you." Willow told her.

"Oh you didn't have to do that," The empress replied.

"We know," Responded Hazel.

Rune handed a jar to the empress.

"What's in it?" She asked, looking at the emerald green sand crystals.

"Druid powder. It's like fairy dust, but it's charged with ancient magic." He said.

"Now that is a gift, thank you all." She responded.

Then Willow handed her another jar.

"Fairy dust?" 

"It's lycan fairy dust, from dad. It has extreme healing powers in it." 

"You are just too sweet child." She replied.

"I'm not as cool as these two. I brought this for you."  Hazel said handing a gift over to her. It was the largest black glitter pillar candle she'd ever seen. 

"Yes you are. I love the candle." She said.

"When you light it the flame is bright glitter green." Hazel told her.

Her jaw dropped. "You visit me anytime." 

"We might. I'm sorry you're so sick." 

"Me too. My friend you met is trying to find a cure." 

"We all hope he does." 

"We better get going. We're all staying at the fairy kingdom with Willow." Rune told her.

"You'll like it there, trust me." The empress said, then after a pause, "Perhaps you can visit again, when I get better." 

The three took turns saying goodbye to her, then left for the kingdom.
