We walk through the weeping willows in silence. I can't get the image of Willow out of my head. Suddenly, the path of the weeping willows ends and we see the palace right in front of us. It consists of large white columns finished with gold decorations. The top of the columns is completely golden. The door is made entirely of gold and has drawings carved into it. There are gigantic statues on both the left and right. They both have large wings and are dressed in shields. There is a long path that is full of different types of creatures. Dwarves, elves, unicorns, ... They are all anxiously queuing for shelter. Me and Jaden walk towards the gate and the creatures all look at me in amazement and happiness. They all start whispering to each other and all move aside for us. Jaden and I walked forward confused, and I tried not to stare rudely at creatures I've never seen before. In addition to the happy faces that appeared after my appearance, I see a lot of mourning. I see the pain in the face of some beings. They have all lost loved ones and are hoping for a deliverance.

We arrive at the gigantic gate and a black wolf, with blue, luminous stripes on its back, walks towards us. "You're Levana, aren't you?" He asks. I'm still not used to the fact that animals can talk here. It still feels surreal. He walks into the gate and Jaden and I walk behind him. When we arrive inside, I am amazed by the beauty. It looks even more beautiful than I could have imagined. A beautiful woman walks out of a room. "Levana," she says in a relieved and soothing voice. She wears a long white robe that gives her shape by a gold corset. She has long, wavy red hair that lies behind her pointy ears. Her skin glistens and she looks magical. "We've all been waiting a long time for this moment," she says. I don't get it. The woman doesn't just look magical, she also sounds magical. When she speaks, it seems hypnotic because she has such a beautiful and soothing voice. "We don't understand how we got here. I'm very sorry if this crisis was caused by our visit," I say, looking down. She smiles softly and says "to excuse oneself for something one cannot do is not in accordance with the meaning of the word excuse." It takes me a while to understand the sentence. No one has ever spoken to me in such an inspiring way. "With your permission, I will show you the answers to all your questions," says the queen. I nod and look at Jaden to see if he agrees too. The queen understood the gesture and turned around and began to walk straight ahead. Jaden and I followed her but suddenly she turned around. "Would it be possible to do this with you alone, Levana?" she says. I don't understand why, there are no secrets between us and he also has the right to know what's going on here. Before I want to open my mouth, Jaden says, "I understand, I'll wait here for a while." This is not how Jaden would normally behave. I think he was intimidated by the queen, but in a good way. I smile softly at him and turn around so I can follow the queen
