Ascension of the Monster Queen

The next morning, when Nessa woke up, she stretched off, then got out of bed and opened her room window, allowing the fresh morning air to brush against her cheeks.

She sighed, feeling at ease, seeing how the people within her city were living a peaceful and joyful life, something they only achieved after much difficulty.

She opened her hair, then decided to go and freshen up since she wanted to start on finding a few ways to take care of her new task, one that she knew might not be easy.

A while after Nessa finished taking her bath and doing her morning routine, she got dressed then left her room and went into the city where she was greeted by her subjects.

While walking in the street, Nessa sniffed and caught onto the scent of something nice cooking and she saw it was one of the goblins cooking by his stand.

She smiled and approached him and he looked at her then bowed his head and she smiled, looking at the nice things he was cooking.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," He said.

"Good morning, I see Liya taught you how to make a few fancy things as well, nice job," She replied and he smiled brightly before bowing his head.

"Thank you, lady Nessa, hearing that from you is all I needed," He said and she chuckled and then patted him on the shoulder.

"You are welcome, I am sure a lot will love your food," She replied.

"Ah, wait a minute, please, I want to give you something to eat," He said as she stared at how fast he was taking out the things he wanted to give her and Nessa chuckled.

"Here you go, lady Nessa," He said as he passed her a small box of things and she collected it.

"Thank you very much," She replied and he smiled, then bowed his head and she walked away, looking at the number of things he had given her.

Despite some of it being sweet, Nessa was glad since she hadn't had breakfast as yet.

Within the box was a cream-filled bread as well as a small pie and a few other sweet things mixed with salt and she chuckled before going to the small pavilion they built in the center of the city, near the fountain.

"Lady Nessa, good morning," Dalia said and she looked and saw a few of the others were there.

"Good morning guys, I see you guys replaced the tent with this pavilion, it can fit a lot of people," She replied before entering the pavilion and sitting down.

Nessa looked at the fountain and she smiled when she saw how high in the air it went and it was giving off different colors, ones of the rainbow.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"A lot has changed, it's nice..." She mumbled.

The others that were there, exchanged glances before looking at her with smiles on their faces, Youthim approached her then tapped her on her shoulder and she glanced at him.

"What is it, Youthim?" She asked.

"We call it the dancing fountain, are you pleased with that as well?" He asked and she grinned.

"Yeah, of course, I am, everything was built beautifully, and I love the flair you guys added to it, it's really standing out, people might even pay to see it if they find out, you guys did well and still are doing well, I am pleased," She responded and Youthim sighed in relief when she said that and the others smiled at her.

Nessa took her spoon from the box that the goblin gave to her and took a bite from the pie, she smiled after tasting how delicious it was then she took a bite from his cream-filled bread.

"This is very good," She said.

"Right? They are all improving with different things, jobs are going fine, there are a lot of new things people want to try out now, a lot of people are buying from each other as well, the goods that are produced are amazing and now some of the goblins take it to the mark even in the dwarf kingdom," Dalia said and Nessa smiled at her.

"That's good to know, I am pleased to hear that everything is expanding, it will catch attention, but also benefit us more than anyone else and I will make sure to keep protecting you guys," She replied and they all smiled at her then bowed their heads and her eyes narrowed.

At that moment, Nessa wondered why they were bowing their heads.

"We will do our best to please you at all times, lady Nessa," Youthim said, the others nodded and Nessa chuckled.

"I know that better than anyone else, you guys always give it your best and I thank you for that, now, raise your heads up," She replied and they raised their heads up then she exhaled deeply before turning around and looking at the mountain she took an interest in.

Riki approached her and noticed that she was looking at the mountains and he smiled.

"Those mountains are beautiful aren't they?" He asked and she glanced at him, then returned her attention towards the mountain and scoffed.

"Yeah, beautiful it is but it has gripped my interest in many more ways than just that," She responded and they exchanged glances before looking at her.

"What do you mean lady Nessa?" Riki asked.

"There might be another civilization behind those, I hear that it's beautiful and I also heard that there is a barrier around it, keeping anything from getting in or out, I want to break it, I want to know what's behind there," She responded and Riki chuckled.

Nessa glanced at him and he looked at her as the others approached her.

"Think I shouldn't try to know?" She asked.

"No, this is your land, you have to know, you should have just told us, we will do anything we can, to help you, we will see if we can help find a way to break the barrier which you are talking about if you want, right guys?" He asked.

"Yeah!" They responded and Nessa smiled at them.

"Okay, let's gather what we can, together," She said and they nodded then she continued eating her food.

Nessa intended to use every information available to her to find out about the way to break the barrier or just open an entrance to that side of the mountain.
