Ascension of the Monster Queen

After hours of training with Yanka, they took breaks and ate snacks and had drinks to replenish their energy.

After they finished training and it was dark, Nessa and Yanka went to the others and sat on a chair while Dalia looked at them.

"How did training go?" She inquired, and Nessa cast a glance at her as Liya brought brought them two glasses of juice, which they accepted.

"Thank you Liya, also Dalia, training is going fine," Nessa responded and they smiled.

"He is not being too hard on you right?" Riki asked and Yanka sighed.

"Of course not, I am training her just like I train all of my students," He responded as they stared at him and Liya smiled nervously.

"Just like all your students?" Liya asked as Nessa looked at them and Yanka sighed.

"Hey, I am not a monster," He responded.

"Sure, we know that, but, she is not just another student, please be careful," Liya said.

"Enough, I told him to train me like any other student; I understand why you guys fear him, but if you want to learn how to properly defend yourself, he is the perfect person to go to, am I right?" Nessa inquired as they exchanged glances before turning to face her, and she smiled.

"You're right, these fools are just overreacting," Riki replied, and Nessa smiled as the others looked at him and he turned away with a smirk on his face.

"Hey, you stay out of this, damn it," Dalia said, and Riki chuckled before grabbing her arm and pulling her closer to him, her cheeks flushing as he stared at her.

"I am correct, you guys are incorrect, calm down, lady Nessa is more than capable of taking care of herself, back off," He replied before releasing her, and she pouted before Liya chuckled and patted her on the shoulder.

"All right girls, that's it, it's getting late, I will go get my dinner and go to sleep, I am aching," Nessa said as she got up and they looked at her.

"Where are you aching?" Liya asked and Nessa glanced at her then sighed and Yanka got up, then patted her on the shoulder.

"You handle them, I will see you again tomorrow for training, even my old bones needs resting, good night kids," Yanka said and Nessa smiled.

"Good night," They replied then he left and Nessa stretched off.

"If you're tired, go get some rest, but take dinner from us; don't go making anything right now," Liya said as she handed Nessa a tray of things, which she sighed and collected.

"Thank you and I am aching in many places, I just cannot be specific," She said and Liya smiled.

"You are more than welcome and we understand, go get your sleep, you will need it to train with him," Liya replied and she chuckled.

"Yeah, I know I will, he is a tough old guy, but the time you spend training with him is worth it," She said.

"That is true, just so you know, lady Nessa, he is way stronger than he looks, don't underestimate him, he bites when you least expect it," Riki replied, and they laughed.

"I'll keep that in the back of my mind, a dangerous old man, I know that now, I'll keep an eye out," Nessa said, to which Riki chuckled.

"Well, good night guys," she said, "I'll see you all in the morning."

"Good night, lady Nessa," They replied before she smiled and waved then left, heading to her house with the things Liya had given her.

When Nessa arrived at her house, she set the tray on the dining table and went to freshen up. Nessa got dressed after she finished, ate her dinner, and went to bed.

She didn't take long to fall asleep because she was exhausted from a long day of training with Yanka, and it was about to get much more difficult for her than it had been the first time.

After a good night's sleep, she stretched before getting out of bed and going to freshen up and do her normal morning routine, after which she dressed and left the house to meet the others at their usual spot.

"Good morning, guys," Nessa said as she sat on a chair and looked at them.

"Good morning," They replied as they approached her and she stretched off.

"Are you still hurting?" Liya asked and Nessa looked at her with sleepy eyes and then smiled.

"A little bit, but I will be just fine," She responded and Liya sighed, then patted her on the shoulder before looking at the giant mansion they were building which was almost completed.

"You guys sure went far with getting me a home, it's really big," She said and they smiled.

"You are our leader, the dwarves even built a conference room in case you have meetings and so on, plus there will be another place," Liya replied and Nessa glanced at her.

"Another place?" She asked.

"Yes, a nice and airy one," Dalia responded. "Things are going pretty well my lady, you don't need to worry too much."

"But isn't that taking up too much time? Do you have that many spearing hands?" When she asked, Zilrud chuckled and approached her.

"Good morning my lady, don't worry, now you have more than what's needed, your home will be finished soon, we do hope you will like it," Zilrud responded and she smiled at him.

"Good morning and I am sure I will, thank you for your hard work," She said and he grinned.

"Thank you, lady Nessa," He replied and she sighed.

"Thank you, I have a lot to do today as well that includes training with Yanka," She said and they smiled before Riki patted her on the shoulder and she glanced at him then he smiled.

"Any news on the Orcs?" She asked, and Sai appeared in front of her, making her jump.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," He said as she stared at him.

"Good morning, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" She asked and they laughed.

"I am sorry about that again," He responded and she smiled before looking at him.
