BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22: Expanding
"Welcome home, my lady," Tehitos said.
"Thank you, I brought a few frids who will be assisting us with building the nation, we desire," Nessa replied, and the dwarfs smiled and introduced themselves.
"You actually live with them; people will go insane wh they learn that a nation where everyone can coexist is being built," Youthim said, and Nessa smiled.
"That\'s what I want, now, you guys can rest and choose wh you want to start working, that is the leader of the foxes Isamu, the leader of the direwolves is Akio, they are nice wh you get to know them," Nessa said and Youthim smiled nervously.
"We rested ough, I think we can start working, first get you guys better houses, this is terrible," Youthim said and Nessa placed her hand on his shoulder, letting out a loud sigh.
"Please," She replied and he laughed.
"Don\'t worry, leave the building to us; tell me, do you intd to claim this tire land, large ough to house an tire kingdom?" He inquired, and she looked at the goblins, foxes, and direwolves.
"Yeah, there are other creatures who have their own territory in this land as well; if they want to join and are not evil, we can form an alliance; if not, I\'ll just leave them alone after all this is their home," She replied, and Youthim smiled.
"Got it, modern homes?" He asked.
"Build your best," She replied, and he smiled.
"After all, I came to the right place, brothers, let\'s get to work," Youthim said.
"Okay," Oson replied with a grin.
"We\'ll get what we need; all I need you to do is keep an eye on how we work and if we go about doing the designs incorrectly, this is going to take a lot of work; can you do that, my lady?" Youthim inquired as he bowed his head, formally recognizing Nessa as their leader.
"Yes, I can, thank you," She replied.
"You are welcome; now we need wood as well; brought the things we need, good thing we did, goblins; will you assist us?" Youthim inquired.
"Of course, we\'ll help; this is now all of our homes," Zietaz replied, and Tehitos agreed.
"All right, guys, let\'s get to work," Jeff said as they began working. The goblins assisted in gathering the best of trees that they were allowed to take from the forest in order to get good wood, and the dwarfs told them what to do, which they did perfectly with good guidance.
Things were finally looking up, and the construction of a new nation had begun; Lumeck had already begun drawing up designs for the houses while Jeff helped with clothing since he was a tailor and used to have a shop back home but closed it, everything was going well, though Nessa knew she couldn\'t relax.
Weeks passed as Nessa kept on looking at the way the creatures were working together and she helped in any way she could.
Houses were already being built, and other foundations were being laid. The girl used her knowledge from her world to give more ideas to the dwarfs, which came in handy and made their work easier.
They got everything they needed, and whever something finished for them, she would give the dwarfs the money Kurson had giv her to buy things from the neighboring kingdom, which the dwarfs wt to get with the goblins, yes they got strange looks at times, but they didn\'t care because all they wanted was to make their dreams come true.
One day, after Nessa had just finished getting dressed after a bath, she wt outside to look at the houses being built wh one of the goblins who was assisting with placing a roof on, feet slipped and she realized it was Aion.
"Aion," she called out, and he screamed as the roof was about to collapse on him because it wasn\'t balanced yet, and Nessa jumped up in the air as red threads came out of her hand, forming a net beath Aion, catching him, and the other set of threads held up the roof, and the dwarfs sighed.
"Are you okay?" Zietaz asked as Aion got up and the other goblins assisted with the roof th the threads disappeared.
"I am fine, lady Nessa, I was not paying atttion, as usual," Aion said and she sighed th patted him on the head.
"It\'s fine, I am going to pick fruit from the forest, I will bring back for you guys, also I came up with a few more solutions, I will share them with you guys wh I get back," She replied and he smiled.
"How can she always be okay with our mistakes?" Aion asked as Nessa left the village, heading into the forest and Zietaz smiled.
"Because she knows we\'re now learning, she\'s patit, her ideas are making this place better, look at how we\'re expanding," Zietaz replied, and Aion sighed before they returned to work.
The girl was not used to the world as yet, but she was getting there.
While Nessa was picking apples from a tree on the hill, she looked at a powerful waterfall near the village.
"This land has a lot of resourceful things, most of which have magic, but I can use them to make things easier for everyone, the village is expanding already due to the new houses and our currt population, we need to start doing other things too, I guess I will take care of that myself, I cannot depd on Kurosn\'s money anymore," Nessa muttered th continued picking her fruits.
"A strange gathering of monsters? In Livinna\'s vast forest? That land? This is intriguing, monsters with a leader." Someone said sternly while standing in a dimly lit room with a smirk on his face.
