"Your majesty!" All of a sudden a bunch of human men run around the hedge!
"Please bring our guests a satchel of food." The Empress glances up at Joe. "And return Joe's backpack." The guard nods at the other human men and then the Empress looks at you. "Is there anything else I can provide?" It seems like the Empress really wants to help! Can you think of anything that would be really helpful?
You lean forward and look down at the ground!
What? You're bowing to the Empress?
"Please let Sailater come with us!"
When you glance up at the Empress she's smiling! "I have never met such a polite mon." You stand up and smile at the Empress and she says "Mons are free to roam in Zinca," and then she looks up at Sailater and puts her hand on his head. "Will you keep our friends safe?"
Sailater is nodding!
The Empress looks at you and Onlion. "I will escort you to the gate."
You and Onlion and Sailater and the Empress all walk through the hedge paths and then the Empress reaches into her pocket and takes out a glowing blue cylinder and holds it out to you.
It's a <span class="mu-r">condenser</span>! Even though they're really rare, it's not very surprising that the Empress has one!
When you look up at the Empress she nods and says "I can see you know what this is."
You're nodding your head!
"It gives mons energy!"
You walk around the corner of another hedge and then you see Joe and Ramster and Tamounda and Lottatax and Ekro waiting for you outside the gate!
The Empress looks at Joe.
...
What? The Empress is still looking at Joe? It seems like she doesn't know what to say!
The guards walk around the hedge toward the gate and one of them hands Joe his backpack and hands you a <span class="mu-r">really heavy gym bag</span> and then Joe looks at the Empress and smiles. "We'll be back soon."
Joe is looking at you! "Ready?"
You're nodding your head!
You and your friends walk away from the palace and then you keep walking through the darkness until you can't see the lights from the Imperial City anymore and you keep walking through the forest. After a while it starts to get light out and you keep walking and then you can see <span class="mu-r">some mountains</span> ahead of you and...
What? You just realized you're already in the Forbidden Land? Now that the sun is coming up you can see that the mountains are really <span class="mu-r">towers from the ancient humans</span>! Even though you've seen this kind of building before, you've never seen an entire city full of them! When you look up all the way you start to get dizzy and you have to take a step backward and you almost fall over because you can see that the buildings are so high that the clouds are sticking to them!
Ekro flies overhead as you and Joe and Ramster and Tamounda and Lottatax and Onlion and Sailater all keep walking. After the sun comes up all the way Joe stops and says "How about a lunch break?"
