Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 11: The wolf and Goblins

After a little while of walking, Nessa finally arrived at the door, feeling tired for she hadn't realized it's be far more than a day since she ev slept or had a proper meal.

"Let's see if it ops now that he's within me," Nessa said as she walked up to the door and placed her hand against the cold iron, after which a blue formation formed beath her palm and the door oped, allowing the bright light from outside within the cave and Nessa smiled as she exited the cave, th the door closed on its own except that it didn't disappear and now anyone could op it.

"Ah, finally fresh air," Nessa mumbled, her stomach growling as she looked up at the sky.

"I'm hungry, it's time to find some food," She said as she continued down the forest path.

"Miss notice, how long have I be in that cave?" Nessa asked.

"Two days," The system responded. She sighed as she bumped into something, her eyes wided as she stared at a massive wolf before her eyes and as he growled at her, the girl's eyes shook th she suddly collapsed onto the g.

"Master," The system called out, but the girl did not respond.

After several hours, Nessa regained consciousness only to find herself in a run-down little house.

"Where am I?" Nessa asked.

"You're awake," Someone said. She flung up from the bed after wiping her eyes only to see a cute young boy with gre skin and pointed ears staring at her.

"Who are you? What are you?" She asked and he smiled nervously.

"I am a goblin," He responded and she sighed.

"I'm tired, and I swear I saw a wolf," She revealed.

"You did, I'm not sure if he's evil or not, but he brought you here and said you needed help," The young goblin explained.

"We, too, need assistance," He said as he walked out of the house, and she followed.

"What exactly happed here?" She asked, worriedly staring at the brok houses, injured goblins, and the massive wolf she had se earlier in a corner.

"Everything was peaceful before, but now the wolves and foxes are on a rampage, taking out everything that gets in their way, and this village got caught up in the middle of the conflict, and that wolf there saved us," He explained.

"Miss notice, what kind of wolf is that?" Nessa inquired.

"Direwolf, they can evolve if they find a master, they are extremely powerful and very protective, and it's not like one to get into unnecessary conflict here," The system responded.

"And how about the foxes?" She asked.

"The gold foxes that live here; they're extremely territorial and powerful ough to take on an tire pack of dire wolves," The system replied, and Nessa sighed.

"How can I help in this kid?" Nessa inquired.

"From the aura you are emitting, we can tell you are powerful; please assist us in stopping a fight in which we'll all be crushed; ough has died," He begged as he got down on his knees.

"Building my own place? One where I can be happy alongside everyone else, a place where there is no discrimination, "She mumbled.

"Where is your leader, kid?" He frowned wh she asked.

"I- I am the new leader," He replied, and she coughed.

"You are a kid," She pointed out.

"I- I am a teager, I don't want to lead them; my father died as a result of this fight, as did many of the others; we ar't evolved monsters, so we can't defd ourselves; I can offer you my services and our loyalty to you," he replied.

'Poor kid,' She thought.

"If a goblin is named leader, will that goblin evolve? Can't the others evolve without being named individually and name themselves or be named by their leader?" Nessa inquired.

[Only if you were to name a leader or someone powerful does it; after naming one of them, he or she will evolve, causing the rest of his kind to evolve as well as long as they are one blood, your skills work differtly in this case master, you don't have to name them individually the leader will be able to take care of the rest.]

"Hmm, th I shall name the kid," She said.

"Wh are they going to fight? I am pretty tired, but I am sure I can stop it if I know their usual time to cause nuisance," Nessa said.

"It will be soon, which is why the wolf was out in the woods and ran into you, my lady," She sighed as the goblin spoke.

"My lady? That has a nice ring to it, but my name is Nessa Styrmir." She replied, and he smiled brightly as she moved a strand of his brown hair away from his face, and he smiled brightly again before a frown appeared on his face, and she sat down on the g and drew him to sit with her.

Despite her lack of knowledge about the world and her fear of the creatures, Nessa knew the ones she had met so far were not bad and decided to help them ev though she would get nothing in return or so she thought.

"You are human ar't you?" He asked.

"In some ways, I am and am not; tell me what kind of place you would like to live in. Do you mind living with people of differt races?" She inquired.

"I don't mind living with other races, but right now most are after dominating, we are simple and they all look down on us, some are just too greedy, I would like a place where we could all live in peace, be happy with those we love," He responded and she smiled upon hearing his answer.

"And what if your dream came true?" She inquired.

"I would be delighted, what about you?. Do you not have a home to go back to?" He inquired, and she lowered her head knowing that she had nothing else to do and nowhere to go.
