The city was foggy, though nobody seemed to notice
Went to the smith who will make swords for the men in the party. There were two strange blind women there who turned out to be some sort of demons!
I accidentally volunteered to stay there for a few days while the blacksmith forged, spending time with the blind women. They are... strange, but good listeners and talkers. Not at the same time though
Had a nightmare where I was lost in a thorn bush, being fought over by a fox and the thorn bushes. The fox bit my ankles!
The blind women told me about their world and culture and asked if I wanted to see. I said yes and then one took off her blindfold and I was in a strange house
Explored the house and talked to a deer. It did not talk back.
Met up with the party. The house turned out to be the Empresses' summer home
To return home, we need to return to the Middle Kingdom, which is in the Empresses' palace
We walked for a long while, on socks, meeting another traveller and a woman in armour who gave us directions.
Veronica is a cheerleader. Will need to investigate this further
Arrived at the palace where we got a change of clothes from a merchant in exchange for helping them move their business
Went to the throneroom and we were allowed entry after it turned out we weren't here to fight the Empress
Empress is a 13 year old girl, but then turned into a larger woman, so it may have been a disguise for a specific visitor. Odd
Agreed to dance for the Empress in exchange for our return to the Middle Kingdom, and that no mortals or princesses would be sacrificed. Phew!
