Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 7: Cave

"I know this is too much for you because you're new here, but I can tell from your aura that you're not a bad person and that you have a good heart, maybe strong ough to lead an tire nation, if you find more reasons to do it will you?" he asked, her eyes widing as she stared at him.

"Your words are couraging, maybe if I have ough reason, it would be nice to have your own place and live the life you want, that's dreams though if one can turn it into a reality that would be nice," she responded, and he smiled.

"You have powers; figure them out, ev if it takes some time; find your purpose; tell me how you feel seeing Dalia in pain as her family is slaughtered by those seeking more power? Wanting control ?" he asked and she clched her fists.

"I feel sorry for her; I wanted to help," she replied, and he smiled and moved her hair away from her face.

"One minute, power? What are you talking about?" she asked and her eyes started glowing blue, th he smirked.

"You have a unique one, but that doesn't mean it's overpowered; you have to make it overpowered, it's slightly differt and unique," he replied, to which she sighed.

"This is, I am not going to complicate things, I am just going to accept my new life, though I am pretty sure I have more surprises in store for me, did I heal Dalia earlier?" she inquired.

"You did it, don't you believe me?" He inquired as her tire body began to glow blue and she left staring at her hand before her body returned to normal.

"Take care of yourself, I wish you the best of luck on your new advture, and I hope you succeed," he said before disappearing, leaving her to sigh.

"I can't just trust people, but I know he's right," she muttered as she stood up and walked out of the house.

"Where has she gone?" she wondered, looking a.

"Dalia," she called out.

"I am back, I am sorry, I didn't find anyone, we are also way in the forest," Dalia said as she returned, and Nessa sighed in relief.

"I'm glad you're okay," Nessa said, and Dalia smiled.

"Do you want to come with me to look for my family?" Dalia asked and Nessa smiled.

"Are they still alive?" she inquired.

"I just ssed them; as long as I follow my brother's trail, I'll find them," she replied.

"I am not being rude, but I think I will try to find a path on my own, I- Kurson came to visit me, he said my body is just adjusting to the vironmt, I would like to see what I can do for myself and maybe others," she said and Dalia smiled at the girl.

"That's admirable, well, I'll leave you to it, you better be careful, this place is like very dangerous and contains a lot of scary beings," Dalia responded, and Nessa smiled.

"Got it," she said, patting Dalia on the back. "I'll be careful, I will tour a little, I have money and some power that I still don't understand."

"I hope to see you again, Nessa," Dalia replied with a smile as Nessa took out a few of the coins Kurson had giv her and placed them in Dalia's hand.

"Be careful, want to point me in a good direction before you leave Dalia?" Nessa asked as night fell.

"Go south, be careful, take shelter for the night, maybe I should stay with you until morning," Dalia replied, and Nessa placed her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Dalia, don't worry, I'll be careful, go find your family, you don't want to lose them, I understand how that feels, believe me, I do, go on, I'll learn more about this world, I hope I see you again, you are the first monster I believe I actually trust, though I still fear," she said, and Dalia left staring at her before smiling and hugging Nessa tightly.

"I hav't known you for long, but you are a good person, Nessa, and I will definitely see you again," Dalia replied before leaving, and Nessa began walking south as Dalia instructed.

Nessa was walking down the forest path wh she heard howling and owls hooting.

'This place isn't creepy at all, I would have gone with Dalia but she has her own things to do, so I'll have to go on my own,' Nessa thought as her eyes began to glow blue while walking and she noticed a blue lining across a door she came across after a long time of walking and she placed her hand on it.

"Does anybody live here?" She asked as a blue formation formed on top of it, and her eyes wided as the door flung up and a bright light came out of it, and wh she peeked inside, she saw glowing crystals and stepped in, but the door closed tightly behind her and she gasped.

"Great, just great, I had to touch the door," she exclaimed as she attempted to op the iron door, but it refused to budge.

"Now I'm stuck," she said, turning a to face the cave.

"There might be another way out of here," she said as she walked down a path within the cave that also had a stream in the middle of it, which she decided to follow, but she kept hearing a growling sound within the cave and swallowed nervously.

"It's stranger, magical in a way but I wonder what else is inside this bloody cave with me?" she speculated.

"This cave contains a lot of things that might help you in the future, all you need to do is understand the powers that have be gifted to you upon your arrival here, master," something said, and Nessa's eyes wided as a blue scre appeared before her eyes, with a pulse lining running across it and a fancy crest in the middle that was spinning.
