Ascension of the Monster Queen

Kurson and Riley approached Nessa after she finished looking at the map, and she smiled at them while he looked at the map.

"Good luck, wherever you're going, and please be careful," He said, as she smiled.

"Thank you," She replied.

"You are welcome, now we have to get going, I will visit like I said, I promise," He said as he hugged her and she smiled then hugged him back and he exhaled deeply.

"Nessa..." He said and she sighed.

"Relax, I know and I will wait for you to tell me what's going on Kurson, for now, go home and be careful, take care of Riley as well," She replied as he raised up and smiled at her.

"We'll take care of each other; I hope to see you soon, lady Nessa," Riley said as she bowed her head and Nessa patted her on the head before they said goodbye to everyone and disappearing.

"That young man looks really familiar to me, who is he?" The king asked and Nessa looked at him then smiled.

"That's my friend, more like a brother now, he helped in a few ways, he has a lot to deal with right about now but I can't help him," She responded and he smiled.

"With time you will be able to now, we have to get going, want to give me the first batch to take?" He asked then she nodded and went to get and brought it back then handed it to him and he smiled.

"This looks good, let's see how much sales it gets, but what if it's sold out and people want more? You won't be here," He said and she smiled.

"Don't worry, Liya knows the recipe, if it sells out, place the order and she will make it and send it back for you guys, don't worry, I have already taken care of things," She replied and he chuckled then patted her on the shoulder.

"All right, lady Nessa, until next time, be safe and have a good trip," He said.

"Thank you," She replied, and they bowed their heads in respect before he left with his men, and Nessa exhaled deeply before sitting back down, and Liya approached her, and she looked at the girl.

"What is it, Liya?" She asked.

"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" She asked.

"No, I am not hungry, I just feel a bit tired to be honest, I just want to relax," She responded and Liya smiled then sat down with her.

"You should get as much rest as you need because you're leaving tomorrow and there's no telling how long it'll take you to get to your destination, are you going to be okay there, lady Nessa?" Nessa sighed as she asked.

"Don't worry, Liya, I'll be fine, I can protect myself better now, I won't let anyone touch me, I'll fight for myself no matter what," She responded then Liya sighed before smiling.

"I'm glad to hear that, but we'll always be concerned about you when you're not in front of us, lady Nessa; you really believe in us, don't you?" Liya inquired.

"Yes, I do, I know you guys aren't used to people believing in you, but I do and I always will, no matter what happens, I will be there for you when you need me, I know it won't be all the time, but I promise I will try my best to do so, you are my people, my friends as well," Liya stared at Nessa before suddenly hugging her, and Nessa smiled before patting her on the back.

"You are younger than me, I am like a big sister right now, but know that you have a life ahead of you, enjoy it to the best of your ability and don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't give up lady Nessa, we will stand by your side as long as we are alive and may even continue to do so even after we are gone, you are our one and only leader, always remember that," She said, and Nessa sighed.

Nessa knew how much Liya and the others cared for her and didn't want to let them down no matter what happens, she wanted to be the perfect role model for them despite being younger then most within their town and no one cared whether she was younger than them or not, to them she was their leader and her age didn't matter because she was accomplishing what even most adult couldn't do no matter how much they tried before.

After Liya raised off of Nessa, she looked at the others with a gentle smile on her face as Zilrud and Vill approached them.

"Lady Nessa who will you be taking with you on your trip? Are you going alone?" Vill asked and Nessa smiled at them.

"No, I have no intention of going alone, I know how dangerous it is out there so I am going to need a companion and I have already chosen one, you guys will see when I leave tomorrow who I am taking, is that okay?" She asked and they looked at each other before smiling.

"Yes, that's okay, we just wanted to make sure that you are taking someone," Zilrud responded.

"I understand your concern, especially after what the king said, I have to me more than just cautious because no matter what, all some will see is a young girl alone and some might get the wrong idea, I know how these things work because of many reasons," Nessa said and Vill patted her on the shoulder.

"This is world is something else, some who don't deserve magic has them and some who deserves it are being looked down on, some believe that they are all powerful and that makes them right, if only certain things could change, those who have power and only takes advantage of those who are strong, not strong or don't have magic, I wish they would just disappear, but you are different," Vill replied with a smile and Nessa sighed before lowering her head, knowing what they were saying was the truth.
