Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 27: Ease

Wh Nessa awoke the next morning, she stretched, got out of bed, and wt to fresh up. Wh she finished, she wt outside of her tt and saw that everyone had already begun working, and smiled.

"Good morning guys," She said as a cute little goblina came running to her and she lifted the child up in her arm and she hugged Nessa tightly.

"Good morning, my lady," Youthim said, and she smiled as she looked up and saw him standing on top of a house roof.

"Isn't it too early to be working?" She asked.

"We've evolved into a town, soon to be a city; I see more reason to start early; you do want it to evolve at a nice rate, don't you?" He asked.

"Yes, I do, it's be a few months already," She responded and he nodded.

"Well, I wanted to let you all know that I will be throwing a feast for all of you tomorrow night," she said, capturing everyone's atttion, and Youthim, Zietaz, and Tehitos jumped off the house and approached her.

"Are you certain?" Zietaz inquired.

"Yeah, it's to commemorate our evolution as a town and our alliance," She responded. Tehtios th smiled and took the little girl from her and placed her down, after which she ran off smiling.

"If that's what you want, we'll be happy to accept," Zietaz said.

"Th we shall hunt down something big and juicy to cook, I assure you, yes they might not be your usual food but you will joy it," Aion said as he approached them th Nessa patted him on the head.

"OK, I will rely on you to get us something big and juicy without destroying too many things, we have to be careful wh doing things," She replied and he grinned.

"Got it, my lady, I won't do anything stupid," Aion replied with a smirk and Zietaz thumped him behind the head.

"Ouch! I won't do anything," He said while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Good morning," Irza said as he and his frids approached them, and Nessa smiled gtly at him.

"Good morning," She replied.

"Slept well?" Youthim asked and Lisa nodded.

"Yeah, it was a peaceful night, to be honest," Irza replied and Nessa patted him on the shoulder and he smiled.

"Well, guys, I'm hungry; would you like to eat breakfast?" Nessa inquired.

"Sure," replied Johnathan.

"All right, come on," Nessa said as they returned to her tt, where Tehitos brought them breakfast and they all began eating.

While eating, Nessa realized that they don't ev have proper farmlands to grow good and healthy food that they can eat and ev make a living off of and that with the land space a them and how well nurtured the soil is, farming lands would be nice to have and if they had the right resources they will be able to turn part of the land into a farming paradise.

'OK, that's another thing that needs to be tak care of,' Nessa thought.

As they eating their food, Irza glanced at Nessa with a smile while wiping his nose and wh Nessa looked at him she saw blood on his hand and she gnashed her teeth, th looked away, pretding as if she didn't see and he wiped the blood away th resumed eating, peacefully.

The others were hungry, so they didn't pay atttion to him while eating, but Neesa knew how much they cared for each other and knew they didn't want Irza to leave their sides, but that was not their choice to make, and ev though it was Irza's most difficult decision in his life, it made him feel at ease, yes he was uneasy but he had no inttion of turning back.

After finishing her meal, Nessa stood up and exited the tt, exhaling deeply.

"Are you all right, my lady?" Akio inquired as he emerged from the shadow beside her, and she smiled.

"Yeah, I'm fine, did you go out?" She inquired.

"You can say that; we are keeping an eye on things a town," He replied, wagging his tail and breathing heavily.

"You may be frighting, but you are so similar to a child, there, there, good job," She said, patting him on the head and brushing her hand through his fur.

"I will play with you later on, right now, I have a lot of planning to do, I have to help Youthim and the others," She said th the wolf looked at her with a happy face

"See you later, Akio," She said as she turned to walk away.

"Good luck," He replied before returning to observing the town with his frids.

"Youthim, I have a few more things I need you guys to add to not only the house but everything else," Nessa said, and Youthim approached her with a hammer in his right hand and a massive axe in his left.

"All right, sit down, let's talk," he replied, and the two of them sat down by a newly constructed house, where Nessa began explaining to him the new features she wanted to add to the houses that would befit all of them in the future and make things much easier for everyone, ev his brothers agreed with her plans.

Later that day, while Nessa was assisting Elloth and his brothers, she noticed Irza rushing out of his tt, which had caught fire, and her eyes shook as he ran out of town and the goblins rushed to put out the fire, which didn't spread because it was small.

"Please help, my lady," Lisa said as she and the others approached Nessa, who sighed and looked at them and the other creatures, looking concerned.

Lisa and the others knew they couldn't save Irza any longer, but they wanted him to die peacefully rather than in pain and terror.

[Notice: An ormous amount of ergy has be detected in the vicinity of the town; the source is the great demon Ifrit and the vessel Irza; the explosion will destroy a portion of the town.]
