Rolling slowly out of bed she opened one eye and groaned. Then reluctantly sat up, checking the sky for an idea of the time. It seemed to be near mid-day. Crawling out of bed she walked a few feet to her closet and grabbed her black velvet and burgundy dress robe and put it on.
"That's better." She told the empty room.
Then she rang for the servant girl. In under five minutes Amberosia came in with a larger than usual pot of coffee.
"Oh thank you."
"No problem but it isn't pixie brew." She warned the empress.
"What kind is it?" She replied.
"Sorceress bre." Amberosia told her.
"Oh good it's a little stronger. Pour me a cup." The empress told her.
"Anything else miss?"
"No, you may go." The empress dismissed her.
"Thanks miss." She replied heading for the door when she stopped and turned around.
"Miss, when is Salem supposed to return for your assistance?" She asked.
"Moon rise today or the next." She told the girl in a flat tone with a look of i'm-not-looking-forward-to-this glare.
Amberosia quickly left the room and headed back to work.
