Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 117: Fana

Nessa entered the forest and looked up at the trees, where she noticed some of the leaves shimmering from one that produced blossom flowers of various types and was large.

"This is pretty," She said as she placed her hand against the tree, feeling a cold wind blow against her face and hearing a humming sound.

"Where is that coming from?" She asked as she looked around when a few of the blossom flowers from the tree fell on her head and she smiled before catching a few in her hands.

"They are pretty," She mumbled.

"Do you truly believe that, lady Nessa?" Someone asked gently, and the leaves from the ground began to blow up in the air as a green and blue light appeared in front of her, and she left staring at it.

"What the hell?" She asked.

"Do not be afraid, Lady Nessa, I promise that I mean no harm to you or your people," The voice coming from the light said, and Nessa realized it was a woman's voice, and she smiled as a woman appeared in front of her.

"I am Dryad," She said as Nessa stared at her, speechless, and she smiled at her.

She was tall, with vines wrapped around her curvy body and small flowers on them, long blue and green hair, and shimmering blue-green eyes.

"Were you the one keeping the noises?" She asked and the Dryad smiled at her before patting her on the shoulder.

"Sorry, that was one of my sisters, she can be a little mischievous at times," She responded, and Nessa smiled.

"I understand, don't worry about it, tell me, how old are you?" Nessa asked.

"Am I starting to look old? Is that possible for me?" She asked as Nessa smiled nervously.

"I don't think that's something you have to worry about unlike the rest of us, I was just curious about your age," She responded.

"I see, well, I am as old as Yzyn, one of the strongest dragons to ever live, I am very old," She said and Nessa smiled.

"It's fine, you definitely look younger than your age; do you want to come to town with me?" Nessa inquired as the Dryad stared at her, sighed, and smiled.

"Sure, I'll come with you," She replied.

"Good, I am pretty sure the others would love to see a Dryad," She said as she walked away and the woman followed her.

"Do you really intend to take over the forest, Lady Nessa?" The Dryad inquired, and Nessa smiled as they approached the town and then turned to look at her.

"Am I wrong for wanting that?" Nessa asked and the Dryad sighed.

"No, you are not wrong, I think we should talk," She responded and Nessa sighed.

"All right, come on," Nessa said as she led the Dryad into town, leaving the citizens staring as they passed by.

Riki mumbled, "Lady Nessa," as they looked at them.

"Guys, this is a Dryad, it turns out that those noises were made by her sister, she was just being mischievous," Nessa said as they approached them, and the Dryad smiled.

"You are really a Dryad?" Tehitos asked and the woman nodded.

"Yes, my name Is Fana," She responded and they smiled.

"Nice to meet you," They said and she smiled and then bowed her head.

"Nice to meet you as well," She replied before turning to face Nessa.

"Do you want to talk?" She inquired, and Nessa nodded before they sat.

"Fana, do you have a problem with us being here? Building a nation?" Youthim asked and Fana sighed.

"To be honest, no, I don't have a problem with this, I was waiting for something like this to happen, it took a long time, and I am surprised that of all people, a young girl started building it, you have guts, lady Nessa, I want to talk to you about a few more things, that's why I came out here," Fana responded, and Nessa smiled.

"Go on, I'm listening," Nessa said, and Fana looked around at the various types of creatures that lived in the town.

"Are you familiar with the evil Orcs?" Fana inquired.

"Yes, but why?" Nessa asked.

"If you defeat them, we Dryads will be by your side no matter what; our best interest is this land, we are its guardians, and I have no intention of letting them destroy the millions of lives in it because they will not surrender," Fana responded, and Nessa looked at her before sighing.

"Without your asking, I am going to defeat them, with the help of everyone here, this is our home, I will not let anyone walk on it and do as they please, no matter who they are, I will not let anyone stand in my way, I have had it with them," She said, as Fana stared at her while Riki and the others smiled.

"They're not going to attack here first," Fana said, drawing everyone's attention.

"Where will they go first?" Nessa asked.

"They have been divided into two teams, one is heading for this part of the land because they know the nation of monsters is here, their general will be with them, they are the powerful ones, while the other half will be heading for the dwarf kingdom, they plan on destroying it all," She responded, and Nessa sighed before looking at Youthim, who lowered his head and she gnashed her teeth.

'Will I be able to defeat the general and save the dwarf kingdom?' Nessa wondered.

[Yes, master, you can use your dark flames to deal with the weaker Orcs who will be attacking the dwarf kingdom; as for the general, you will have to use the majority of your current strength.]

"How are you going to save them, lady Nessa?" Fana asked, and Nessa smirked at her.

"I am going to save everyone, first I will destroy the Orc general, then I will save their previous home," Nessa responded as she looked at Youthim who stared at her as she smiled and Fana sighed in relief then smiled, knowing that Nessa was not the type to give up and she had no intention of losing to anyone like them.
