You walked around the crowded ballroom of the house of Quartz, The Gem empire was a unique architecture style to it, murals on the walls, stained glass, extravagant chandeliers, it was hard to think that you and the Empress used to be friends. Even if the rift between the two of you grew, she still invited you to her son's 5th birthday party. You couldn't tell if she invited you because she had no choice or outof kindness. You walked aimlessly throughout the halls when you bumped into.. her.. she turned around, as angelic as you remember. She looked you up and down before greeting you. "Hm?..ah.. Good evening..I-..it's been a while hasn't it..? How is the Flora Empire?" she said, in her usual,sof spoken but slightly stern manner.
