Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Okay, be careful," He responded and she patted him on the head before turning to the Orc.

"Excuse me," Nessa said as they came to a halt and turned to face her.

"How may I assist you, Miss?" Nessa sighed as she asked.

"Are you in any kind of trouble?" Nessa inquired, and the woman smiled.

"Aren\'t you frightened of me child?" She asked.

"Uh... I don\'t see why I should be; you don\'t appear to be a threat, and if you were, I\'m pretty sure I could handle it; you\'re hurt; come with us back to our town." As the woman stared at Nessa\'s shimmering eyes, the child jumped out of her arms, and Nessa caught him.

"He likes you, sure, I will come with you," She said as she lowered her head then Nessa gave her the child before walking away and the others followed.

After more than a day of travelling together, the Orc still didn\'t say anything about what happened to Nessa, and when the next morning arrived, they arrived at the town that both the Orc, Nessa, and Akio had left staring at since most of the things had changed.

"What in the world happened here?" As they stared at the progress of the town, Akio wondered how much had been done in their absence.

"What happened?" Nessa inquired, and Aion chuckled before taking a deep breath.

"Lady Nessa has returned from her journey guys," He yelled, and everyone heard. They rushed to the entrance, and Nessa waved at them while smiling nervously.

"You\'re back, safe and sound," Riki said, bowing his head as he approached her.

"Yes, I am, there is no need to do that Riki, raise your head up, please," She replied and he smiled, then raised up as Dalia rushed to her and hugged her tightly after which she patted the girl on the head.

"I am glad you are back in one piece," She said with a bright smile as Riki grabbed her by her arm and pulled her off of Nessa.

"Lady Nessa, welcome back," Tehitos, Zeitaz, Youthim and Isamu said as they approached her before bowing their heads and she exhaled deeply.

"It\'s good to be back guys," She replied as all of them turned to look at the Orc and Isamu started growling and Nessa stood before the Orc as they stared at her.

"That\'s enough, I have no idea what\'s been going on, she isn\'t evil, she has a child with her as well, please guys, let\'s just talk about this," She said and Isamu sighed and calmed down before stepping back. .

"All right, if that\'s what you want, then so be it," Riki replied as they moved aside and Nessa entered the town, which had grown tremendously since she had left it.

Most of the unfinished houses had been completed, and new ones were being built, and the bridge that connected the different sections of town had been finished and was large enough to carry heavy loads over.

The fountain in the town center was being built, and lights had already been installed as a result of Nessa\'s suggestion to use rune magic.

The dwarves and other creatures did exactly what she wanted them to do, and now that Nessa was back, she was going to put her other ideas to use and build more things because she planned on taking over the entire forest before anyone else could, even though she knew it would not be easy.

"Did we do everything the way it was supposed to be done, Lady Nessa?" Youthim asked as he approached her and she glanced at him.

"You guys did everything exactly the way it was supposed to be done, good job guys," She responded and they smiled brightly.

"I\'m sorry, but spring is almost over," She apologized, and they smiled at her.

"It\'s okay; there will be more to come, right?" Dalia inquired as Nessa stared at her, and she grinned then Nessa nodded.

"Lady Nessa, we still have a lot more to do, bring your ideas to me when you are ready," Youthim said and she smiled at him.

"Got it, I will do that later on though, tell me, what has been going on?" She asked and they all turned to look at the Orc and she sighed.

"Are you the nation\'s leader?" The Orc asked.

"Yes, I am; can you tell me what happened?" Nessa inquired.

"A few months ago, the Orcs began attacking random villages, claiming dominance for someone they work for; a guy also came here, wanting to claim all of us; he wore all black, just like the one who attacked our village lady Nessa, they are causing a war," Riki responded, and Nessa gnashed her teeth as she lowered her head and looked at the Orc.

"I don\'t know about the guy in all black, but you don\'t know the whole story, there are two opposing teams, the Orcs that attacked are working for the bad guys, but the ones that are fighting them off at a loss is my village, we now have one thousand one hundred Orcs now, they have taken shelter in our town, they are scared we might lose, if we do, the bad set will gain dominace."

"A great lord for Orcs will be created, one like no other and the one leading them is my husband\'s brother, we are all at stake, my people did nothing wrong, I left, seeking help and my son followed," She explained and they all looked at each other.

"I\'m sorry, I didn\'t know about that; we only heard about the ones attacking, the guy that came here is serious as well, they threatened to wipe out everything in their path as well," Riki said and Nessa looked at him with as tears streamed down the Orc\'s cheek and her son hugged her as Nessa looked at them, knowing that she couldn\'t just stand there and do nothing.
