Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Woah, it's huge," Nessa said as she stood in the streets of Leosna, watching differt types of people go about their business, and Skiro patted her on the shoulder.

K smiled as she said, "Thank you."

"You are welcome," They both replied, th laughed at each other.

"Miss, if you don't have a place to stay, come with me for a minute," K said as he walked away, and Skiro, Nessa, and Akio followed him to an inn that he tered, and she smiled as she sniffed in the fresh aroma of the food before a brunette woman approached them.

"K, Skiro, you are back; how was your trip?" She asked wh she noticed Nessa behind them, and she left staring at the girl, before pulling the two apart, and Nessa looked at her and smiled.

"Cute," She said, and K sighed before grabbing the woman's arm.

"Hands off, Patty and the trip was fine, that's where we met this young lady," K said and Patty sighed.

"Well, she's quite lovely; what's your name, miss?" Patty asked.

"Nessa," She responded.

"Nessa, that's nice, nice to meet you, sweetheart," she said. "My name is Patty, and I own this inn."

Nessa smiled. "Nice to meet you as well."

"Do you have an extra room, Patty?" Skiro asked, and Patty sighed.

"Is this for Nessa?" Patty inquired, and K nodded.

"Yes, I do have two more extra rooms, she can stay as long as she wants," Patty said, turning to face Nessa, who sighed.

"I'll stay just for tonight, thank you," Nessa replied.

"You are welcome, come along, I will show you to your room and afterward you can come to join us for dinner, have some good food, you are young eat what you can," Patty said as she walked away and Nessa followed her and Skiro sighed relievedly.

"We hav't known her for long, but she's a nice person," Skiro said, to which K nodded.

"I believe so as well, you are a good judge of character, so ev more reason to believe it, let's stay for dinner th we can go home, we might have to go on another trip soon ough," K replied as they wt to sit by the counter and Skiro sighed.

Skiro said, "I want a week off," and K patted him on the shoulder.

"Here it is," Patty said as she oped a room door, and Nessa peeked in before smiling.

'It's nice, thank you again," Nessa replied.

"You are welcome; please set your belongings down and join us for dinner," Patty said.

Nessa did as the woman suggested, th returned to the inn's lounge, where she sat beside Skrio, K, and Akio, who sat on the floor, making himself comfortable.

'He's still worried,' she thought as she looked at Akio, who looked up at her before she patted him on the head and he wagged his tail after which Patty's staff fed him.

Patty said after serving Nessa and her two new frids, "That's a cute wolf."

"Yes, he is, and thank you for dinner, Patty," she replied and the woman smiled.

"You're welcome, joy it, th get some rest, I'm sure you guys had a long day," Patty said to which Skiro scoffed.

"Did you scoff at something else or my food?" Patty inquired, and K laughed while Skiro sighed.

"Not at your food, it's be a long day, I'm tired of travelling so much, to be honest, a week's break would be fine, but..." He responded.

"You have to work hard to get what you want," Nessa said and Skiro looked at her.

"That's right, if you don't work hard, your chances of succession are limited; some people have it easy, but others don't have a choice but to work hard," K replied, and Nessa nodded while eating her food before Patty poured her a glass of juice, which she gladly accepted.

'These people are nice, warm, just like the Dalia and the others,' Nessa thought with a smile.

Skiro and K got up and stretched off after Nessa finished her dinner, and she looked at him, knowing they were exhausted from their journey.

"Are you guys leaving now?" She inquired.

"Yes, you should get some rest as well; if you still want to leave tomorrow, drop by my place; if you want to stay a while, do the same," Skiro responded to which she chuckled.

"I'll remember that, good night," She said.

"Good night, miss," They replied before leaving and Nessa wt to her room.

After tering her room, she locked the door, th wt to fresh up while Akio slept in the room.

While taking her bath, the girl took a deep breath before her eyes began to glow red with her hands for a minute th wt back to normal.

"I wonder how strong I am," Nessa said.

[Stronger than most, master, the gre diamond you received from the dying man, it's ancit, I think you should learn more about it, it mixed within your body's cells, thus adding to your own power, it's the last of its kind.]

"I see, I'll do more research after I finish what I left the town to do, that way I'll have more time, thank you miss notice," She said.

"You are most welcome," Miss notice replied.

Wh Nessa finished her bath, she changed and sat on her bed, stretching off, while Akio oped his eyes and looked at her.

"Are you going to sleep, my lady?" He asked.

"Yes, good night, Akio," She responded.

"Good night, I will stand guard, I am pretty sure I slept more than ough," He said and she chuckled.

"It's fine, you don't have to stand guard," She replied with a yawn, th fell asleep on the bed and Akio chuckled.

"You're doing well, and it's my duty to protect you as long as you're out of town, sweet dreams, my lady," Akio said as he approached her, lifting the blanket up with his mouth and covering Nessa.

While Nessa slept that night, Akio stood guard because he didn't want anything to happ to her and wanted to prove his worth.
