Isra rode quickly. Her body was filthy, and she was tired, but she neglected all that for Edward. Charging through the Commonwealth, she arrived back in the Empire in less than a week, and in just over it, she arrived back at the Palace. Her breathing was heavy, and under her eyes were black bags, showing how little she slept.
Walking through the gates, she looked at the Palace and ran towards it. Throwing open the doors, she charged up the steps to Edwards' room. The servants looked her way in confusion, wondering when Isra had returned. Isra didn't care about the looks she was getting and stopped just outside Edward's room.
