Phoenix's POV
The 6 of them leaped to Oralie's castle. They walked up the stairs up to her room and Phoenix sat down on her bed as her 4 bodyguards leaned against the wall. Oralie went upstairs to her room and went to sleep. Phoenix rested her head against the pillows crying, Tilly came over to her, picked up her guitar and sang a song in gnomish.

"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand year's
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"

"Who wrote that Tilly?" She asked in gnomish
"It was one of Flori's creation's actually" Tilly replied in the same earthy tone
"It's really nice" she said trying to hold back tears it reminded her to much of Oscar.
"Wrong lyrics isn't it" she nodded "I'll try and figure out a different one that doesn't include him in any sort of way"
"Thank you Tilly"
"It's ok, anything for you" out of the corner of her eye she saw Ember watching them closely.
"Everting all right newbie" she asked changing back to the enlightened language
"Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out what your saying in gnomish" Ember replied in her British accent
"Oh it was just a song, does that answer your question" She asked
"Yep"
"ok" she mumbled. She went to the bathroom and put her PJ's on and snuggled under her blankets with Tilly humming something. Phoenix drifted into sleep...

Phoenix woke up to Oralie sitting on the end of her bed and her bodyguards in the corner of the room all chatting to each other.
"Morning Ora"
"I believe it's the afternoon but believe what ever you want"
"Why what's the time?" Oralie checked the clock on her bedside table as she sat up on her bed.
"Just after 2pm"
"Of course I had to sleep for more than 10 hours"
"You needed it, Della and your mum visited but noticed you were still asleep so they left"
"Wait! It's Monday I have school"
"Not for you, well at least for today. Would you like some lunch seeming you haven't eaten since yesterday morning"
"Yes please" Oralie handed her a bowl of orzo strips it tasted like pasta but looked like dried seaweed "thank you"
"It's nothing really, do you want me to leave you alone"
"No I'd rather have company I still have to learn a bit more about Ember" pointing her head to the goblin still talking to the others.
"I'm worried about you Phoenix"
"Everybody tells me that these days"
"I mean it and not as another joke" she looked over at Ember who was about the same size as Charlie and was wearing a new black singlet and black pants. She also had black hair with light blue that was had an ombré effect.
