Xiang Ling found herself walking the quiet halls of the Heavenly Palace. Her steps were purposeful as she made her way to a secluded chamber where the Heavenly Empress awaited her.
She noticed how Her Majesty held a calm but inquisitive expression as she entered the room. Despite the fact that they were meeting in such a secretive manner, they both appeared way too calm.

Xiang Ling lowered her head in respect while officially greeting the Empress. "It was. Thank you for meeting with me on such short notice, Your Majesty."
The Empress gestured for her to sit as her piercing gaze watched Xiang Ling carefully. "You mentioned you had two requests. What is it that you seek from me?"
