Ascension of the Monster Queen

"You are a girl, I know, just messing with you," He replied and he sighed.

\'Damn, I almost forgot with the way she is with us, we need to watch some of our actions,\' Riki thought as he pulled things to eat and drink from their bag and passed them down.

"Do you want something to eat, Lady Nessa?" Riki inquired, then noticed she had fallen asleep again and smiled before looking up at the night sky.

They stopped and rested during the night, and when they were relaxed, they continued walking because they wanted to get to town as soon as possible.

The next morning, when they were nearing the town, they heard the same voices from the trees and Riki sighed.

"Those voices are creepy," Nessa said as she woke up and they looked at her.

"Good morning," She said.

"Good morning," They replied, before she jumped off of Akio and reverted to her normal form, and Riki handed her something to eat, which she accepted.

"Thank you," She said.

"You are welcome, I wonder what the voices are," Riki replied and she looked at them.

"To be honest, I\'m not sure," Nessa replied, "but I\'ll ask the others, those voices are just too creepy."

"I think I\'ve heard about these voices before, but I can\'t remember where I heard about them, but I do remember that they don\'t mean harm to those who mean no harm to them, and it appears that they are living beings," The chiefess said.

"That\'s quite interesting; I guess I\'ll have to ask the others if they\'ve ever heard of it or know anything about it," Nessa replied.

"Yes, you should do that, I know they are living creatures, but cannot remember what type of creature it is and there are literally so many different types within this land, it can get too confusing which is which at times," The chiefess said and Nessa chuckled.

"Believe me, I understand, the first time I bumped into these guys, I was quite confused, but now I just know to expect the unexpected in this land," Nessa replied and the chiefess smiled.

"You\'re correct, so you\'re not from around here, right?" "I say that because you mentioned meeting these guys for the first time," The chiefess said and Nessa sighed.

"She is not from around here, she says she is from far away, it\'s why she didn\'t know her way around here when she first arrived, my sister told me because that\'s the first Ogre she had ever seen," Riki replied and Nessa nodded.

"He is correct, his sister was the first different creature other than a phoenix that I had seen when I first came here, I was as lost as I could get but then I was guided so," Nessa said as Riki patted her on the shoulder.

"I want to go to the beach, but there aren\'t any here," Nessa mumbled, and Riki looked at her.

"You\'ll find one, I\'m sure there\'s one here," He said, and she smiled as she looked at him.

"It can be relaxing to go to one, but right now I can\'t go looking for that, we have other things to take care of, half of the year is almost up, there is a lot to do, let\'s get rid of the evil that wants to destroy our home first, then we can deal with the other things," She replied, and Akio sighed.

"What\'s wrong with you?" Riki inquired, and Akio turned to face them.

"I have a feeling that after we defeat these Orcs, we\'ll have more to deal with; our home will be targeted by others; will we be able to fight them all off?" He asked as Nessa glanced at him and smiled.

"Don\'t worry about it, Akio, I will learn to master my abilities, I will not let others walk on us, I will get rid of those that I need to, I don\'t care what others say, I haven\'t for a while if I\'m being honest, to me they can all go to hell, everyone has a right to a good life as long as they are not evil and they are good at heart, I will make sure you guys have the home you have always wanted," Nessa responded and the chiefess glanced at her.

Nessa patted Akio on the head as the woman smiled, lowered her head, and exhaled deeply.

"I believe we will win if we master our skills and stick together," Riki said, and Nessa looked at him.

"I believe we will be able to win in this manner as well, and I even have the goblins training to fight and use the sword to defend themselves if we are far away and they are in trouble, they will be able to defend themselves," She replied.

"That\'s a good idea; teach them different ways to fight so they don\'t have to rely on you to protect them all the time because you know you won\'t be able to, every time," The chiefess said.

"I know, it\'s one of the many reasons I had them start; I baited them a lot, but eventually they started on their own because they didn\'t want to be of no use and sit around all day doing nothing," Nessa replied, sighing and rubbing her stomach.

"There\'s more to eat, if you are hungry," Riki said.

"I will go home and have fresh food," She replied and he chuckled.

"If that\'s what you want, then fine, we\'re getting close to town, just a few minutes more, Liya must have made something, she\'s looking forward to you teaching her," He said, and she smiled.

"I know, and I intend to teach her how to make the best of the best, a few things no one else has made in this place as yet," She replied.

A few minutes later, they began seeing the town and sighed in relief since they had finally arrived.
