Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 17: City of Qavarlya



Another day passed of them travelling and finally, they arrived at their destination, Nessa looked at the iron walls and the well-secured gate protected by the guards of the kingdom.

"Behind those gates is the trance to the kingdom of Qavarlya," Nessa said as she dismounted the wolf and turned to face Aion.

"Let's go," she said, "you'll be the one taking me in."

"Huh? Are you sure lady Nessa?" Zietaz asked.

"Yeah, I am why?" She asked and Zietaz smiled nervously.

"He can't fight," Akio stated.

"I know, I just want him to guide me, it's not like we will get into a fight right?" She asked and Akio sighed th looked at Zietaz.

"Let one of us accompany you instead, or let us all go," Zietaz replied.

"We can't, we might look suspicious, don't worry, we'll be fine, you guys stay in the woods, stay hidd, we won't be there long," She said, and they sighed and bowed their heads.

"Be careful, my lady," They advised.

"Thank you, see you later," She replied as she followed Aion to the gate as the sunset.

"Good afternoon," Aion said as they approached the gate and the guards who were dwarves looked at her and smiled at how cute of a fox she was.

"You may ter," One of the guards said th they walked past the small gate and tered the city of Qavarlya and Nessa gasped as she stared at it.

"Things ar't so old-fashioned after all, they have electricity too," Nessa said, looking a at other dwarves who resembled humans and were not as short as they were said to be, but also noticing that despite it being a prosperous kingdom, there were very few of the other creatures.

"See, my lady, there are ev humans here," Aion said.

"Yeah, I see, now let's get going, we can't stay here for too long," Nessa said, and Aion agreed.

"We need artisans; how am I supposed to find one here?" she wondered as Aion collided with someone.

"S- Sorry," He apologized, th looked back and saw it was a human guy.

"Ah, a lowly goblin, you are not as ugly though," He said while his frids laughed and Nessa stared at them.

"Aww, that is such a cute fox, I bet it will fetch a hefty price, give us the fox and we won't do anything to you, we possess magic you know, you low creatures don't stand a chance," The guy laughed.

"N- No, I am not giving her to you, never," Aion said as he stood before Nessa who looked up at him being brave despite the fact he couldn't fight.

"Leave us be please," Nessa said and the humans looked at her in surprise.

"This is ev better, it's rare to have a fox this small who isn't a leader talk," The guy said with a grin on his face.

"You disgust me, list to me, I will seriously hurt you guys if you don't leave, I am not kidding either," Nessa said as she started growling and the guy chuckled.

"What can a cute little thing like you do?" He asked.

"Let me show you what I'm capable of," the guy said as fire formed a his fingertips and Nessa's eyes began to glow red and he and his frids' eyes trembled as her aura pressured them so much that one of the guys screamed and the guards heard and rushed to them and Nessa returned to normal and the guys ran away in fear of her.

"What's going on over her?" The very guard that allowed them to ter the city asked and Aion smiled.

"We were just being bullied, but nothing major," Aion replied, to which the poor guard sighed.

"Good, because fighting is prohibited here; if you break the rules, you will be arrested," He said.

"Got it," Aion replied.

"Mister," Nessa said, causing the guard to flinch and look down.

"Wh- What kind of abomination is this?" He yelled, and Nessa flinched and sighed.

"Abomination? Hey, calm down, I am just a simple, talking fox, and I have a question for you," She said, tilting his head and staring at her.

"What is it?" he inquired.

"I am looking for artisans, do you know where I can find any?" She asked.

"Artisans, you say? Yes, there are quite a few; if you want, I can take you to them," He responded and a loud thud came from a building within the city.

"I'll see you later, be careful." The guard said th rushed away, and Nessa looked at Aion with interest.

"I wonder what that was about," She said as she looked a and noticed a clothing store.

"Let's go, I need new clothes," She said.

"Got it," Aion replied, th followed her to the store which they wt in and she smiled, looking at the differt types of clothing they had.

"Do you mind waiting here until I get a few things?" She asked.

"Take as much time as you want," He replied, Nessa wt into the store, and the ones that were selling stared at the cute little fox walking a smiling.

'I feel tse, I am getting stared at, this was such a bad idea,' She thought.

After some searching, Nessa found clothing just her size, so she bought a few that she would feel comfortable in and would fit her perfectly.

"Aion, here," She said, and Aion placed the clothes in a bag th he took out the money Nessa gave to him before tering the city and used it to pay for her clothes.

"We need a lot of things," She said as they exited the store, and the same guard crashed into her.

"Damn it, Ouch!" She yelled as her feet turned red from him smashing it, and Aion looked at her.

"A- Are you okay?" Aion asked.

"We have only be here for a little over an hour and I-," Nessa mumbled.

"I'm so sorry, I'm in a hurry looking for something!" He exclaimed.

"Old man, what exactly are you looking for?" Aion asked.

"Healing potions, we need them for a few injured dwarves and one elf," He replied, capturing Nessa's full atttion.

[Master, your body can make those potions because of what you devoured in the dragon's cave.]
