Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Guys, I see that they can breathe fire," She said and they looked at her.

"Come again," Ian replied.

"How about you come and see for yourself?" She asked as he approached her then peeked at the scorpions and gasped when he saw they could breathe fire.

"I hate these creatures," He said and she smiled.

"Well, we have to deal with them, one way or the other or we will be stuck up here and won\'t be able to move any further," She replied and he sighed before looking at the others.

"You are right, we have to get going or we will never find what we came here for and most of the day has already passed," Niva said and Nessa nodded.

"All right, come on guys, we will jump, get your things ready and don\'t waste your time, kill them," Yonja replied as they got up and took their weapons out then looked down at the scorpions.

"Well, let\'s go, launch your attacks, don\'t hold back, they can be hard due to the type of body, be careful," Nessa said and they smiled as she took a deep breath, then they jumped and the minute the scorpions saw them, they began blowing fire breath towards them but they dodged it and they began attacking the scorpions which were heading towards them.

After landing on their feet, Nessa took a deep breath and blew fire against the scorpions which began melting parts of their body and she did not hold back.

"Guys, we have another problem over here," Ian said as a giant scorpion began approaching them and they exhaled deeply.

"We have come a long way, none has made it this far in this dungeon am I right?" Nessa asked and they looked at her then she smiled.

"Are you guys planning on giving up?" She asked and they smiled, then Yonja scoffed and patted her on the shoulder.

"Relax, we are not leaving until we complete this mission that we are on, we will see what the royals find so important," Yonja responded and she chuckled as they began fighting off the biggest scorpion there was.

After a while of fighting it, the creature finally died and they all sighed on relief but there were more small ones coming and they knew it was because of the strong magic elements within the dungeon.

"Guys, do you see another entrance?" Nessa asked.

"Nope, what if there are no more entrances and this is the last one, but we have to find a way around?" Niva asked and Nessa sighed as she began looking around to find a way, but saw nothing and that\'s when she sensed strong energy coming towards her but she couldn\'t find out where it was coming from.

"Do you know where that energy is coming from?" Nessa mumbled.

[No, I have been trying to sense where it was coming from but it would seem that a force field id blocking it, it\'s like a protection.]

"I see, so there is no way I can figure it out unless we what? Keep fighting whatever comes our way?" She asked.

[Most likely, you must clear the dungeon, defeating any monsters that come your way; perhaps an entrance will open; maybe this is where it gets difficult; if you do not defeat the monsters in this level, you will simply be unable to proceed to the next.]

"I see, thank you," Nessa said.

[You are most welcome.]

"Guys, kill everything that comes your way, no matter what it is, because this might not be the final level, and I have a feeling we have a lot more to deal with," Nessa said.

"Perhaps this is where things just get a lot more difficult?" Sophia inquired.

"So there is another level, great," Ian said and Nessa smiled.

"Might be, we need to figure this out, let\'s keep fighting what comes our way, we can handle it," Yonja replied as they finished fighting off the scorpions that were around them at the time then they sighed and went under a tree and sat down.

"I am hungry," Niva said as she took out food from her bag and began eating after which the others did the same since they were very tired due to fighting so many times.

While they were eating, Yonja noticed that Nessw kept on looking around them and he sighed, then tapped her on the shoulder and she glanced at him.

"What\'s the matter?" She asked.

"What\'s bothering you?" He asked.

"Nothing, I am just trying to figure a way out of here before more monsters starting showing up, I am in no mood to fight anymore, I have done enough of that," She responded and he chuckled.

"Well, this time it doesn\'t seem as though we have another choice, fighting is the only option that\'s been given to us here," He said and she sighed.

"So it would seem but this isn\'t right, there is literally nothing else here," She replied as her eyes narrowed when she saw another set of marking against the wall high above them and exhaled deeply.

"I want to get up there, maybe just maybe I will be..." She said as she looked at Isamu and he glanced at her as a smile appeared on her face and he tilted his neck, wondering what it is that she was up to next.

"Lady Nessa..." He mumbled and she patted him on the head before feeding them.

"I have an idea, but I might need your help with it, I am not sure as yet but we shall see," She whispered as she braced her head against his.

"Got it, just tell me when you want me and I will be there to help, we are not here to waste time after all," He said and she smiled then passed her hand through his hair and he sighed before glancing at the marking she was looking at.
