Ascension of the Monster Queen

They all wondered what was going on there since the lights were reflecting elsewhere as well, but all formed a single line, reflecting on Nessa's body alone and it didn't do that to everyone else.

Nessa looked at her body as the king and queen stared at her and her eyes began glowing when she looked at her reflection in the water and her eyes narrowed.

'What the hell is this?' Nessa wondered and Youthim and the others smiled when Nessa turned to look at them and the dragon glanced at her.

"What's going on here?" The king asked and the queen shrugged.

"Do you guys have any idea what's this? I am sure this doesn't usually happen from the look on your faces, you all look totally surprised, the lights just spread out making the place look beautiful, that's what it's supposed to do" Nessa said and the king nodded.

"Yes, you are right about the lights spreading out and making the land look beautiful under the stars of the sky as well as the rest, I have no idea what's going on here, I have never seen it happen before and for some reason, I don't think it's ever happened before," The king replied and Nessa scoffed.

'That doesn't make me feel any better, maybe you can, do you know what this is?' Nessa wondered.

[Well I will surely try, no, but I think the things are just reacting to you naturally, after all, you are the owner of everything within this land, magic can sense those kinds of things, if that's it, then things will return to normal in a few minutes, probably.]

After hearing that, Myalis looked around her and the lights returned to the way it was supposed to be and Nessa sighed as did the king and the queen.

"Great, they are back to normal, but I think they were like that for a reason, we are willing to hear what you have to say, will you take the time in telling us now?" The king asked and Nessa looked up at the night sky.

She smiled at him, then nodded and he sighed in relief, then walked passed her and they sat down on the rocks and Nessa lit a fire.

"I will start by telling you I found this place when I was out roaming about one night, I am not going to give you more details about that when the time is right, it's not important at the moment, but then I got to know about the barrier and I saw how beautiful the place was."

"I wanted to see more of it, so we began trying to find a way in which we can remove the barrier and create a pathway, with their help I got to break the barrier and here we are, we just came here because we wanted to see what's behind these mountains, I was told a few things by someone, he is the reason I know of this place," She said.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The king and queen as well as Riki and the others exchanged glances since they didn't know about that.

"So the guy is the one that encouraged you to do all of this?" The queen asked.

"In a way, I don't trust him because I don't know him, but I don't think he means any harm to you guys, I did this on my own and even if he had an ulterior motive, I would have dealt with him without hesitating, but still open a pathway, since I am the one that wants to know about everything in my land especially if...." She responded and the king's eyes narrowed.

"Your land? Which means even this part belongs to you?" The king asked and Nessa smiled before nodding, their people looked at each other with a bit of fear in their eyes and Nessa glanced at them then sighed.

"Then, with the support you have right now, if you wanted it you could have taken it and if we had fought against you, I think we would have lost and it wouldn't have been right to in the first place, why didn't you just take it since you might have all the power to do so?" The queen asked.

"You are right, I have the support and the power to do so and you would have probably lost. I didn't just take it because all I wanted was to see what it's like here and it's magical, this place is beautiful, that's all there is to this part of the story, I like discovering new things."

"I am not here to cause any sort of trouble, I am not going to take your home away from you, just because the land is mine, that's not what I want here," She responded and their eyes widened then they looked at each other.

Riki and the others smiled at each other and the people of the king and queen looked at Nessa a bit confused, since if someone else had the power and support she did, due to greed and the type of riches one could gain from taking the land even if it means killing all of them, they would do it without hesitating.

"I see... Tell me, you seem really young to me, like a teenager and you are human as well, how did you become the leader of them, something so dangerous in this world?" The king asked and Nessa smiled at them before lowering her head and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"I know a lot of people will find it weird, a young one like me, leader of an entire nation and a powerful one at that, I will tell you what you need to know," She responded and the king and queen smiled as everyone gathered around to listen.

She began telling them how she became the leader and only what they needed to know, she didn't tell them everything about her journey so far, nor about some of the people she met and the unnecessary details, she didn't tell them information that was too important to her as well as those around her.
