Okay so after our long journey we finally meet the empress. I knew it wouldn't be Rosannie anymore or else she's immortal. It's her daughter Nesari. I had hoped that if it was a different empress that a truce should not be so difficult but it seems empress Nesari herself is equally a head strong just like her mother. Hmph, I wonder how this visit will go especially when we are not complete here. It's just Inara and me. Please do not judge me I have not forgotten about the rest of my folks, it's just that empress Nesari didn't really seem impressed that I came with someone already so I do not know how she might react if I ask for her help in finding my friends on the lake but I still trust them, I'm glad I could save Inara who was the aquaphobic, I'm sure the rest can handle it, I trust them. They might have probably found themselves back at the shore from where we took off. I would have waited for them though but we got taken away, forcefully.
So back to where we were.
