Ascension of the Monster Queen

While walking through the streets of the city, they came to a tavern, then entered and Nessa saw how busy and noisy the place was and smiled while people looked at them as they took their seats and the tavern was neat and different from most, almost like a restaurant.

"You guys place your orders, tonight is my treat," Yonja said and they smiled.

"Nessa are the little guys going to eat now?" Sophia asked and Nessa looked at them as they stretched off and she smiled.

"I will take their share back for them, they don't seem hungry right about now," She responded and they smiled then placed their orders after the waitress came to them.

A while after placing their orders, the waitress brought their food to them and she they took the ones they ordered then began eating.

While eating, Nessa noticed Sophia was looking at her and she smiled at the girl.

"What's the matter?" Nessa asked.

"Where are you from?" She asked.

"Not that far from here, I came here to figure out a few things that I don't quite understand as yet, it's one of the reasons I am going in that dungeon, I have business here and I intend to see it through, to the end that is," She responded and they smiled.

"Well, if you need help, you can ask us, we will help you in any way that we can," Another member of their group said and she smiled at him.

"Thanks," She replied.

He was tall, had short black hair, fair, slim and had blue eyes and his name was Cortan.

One of the other members of their group was a girl named Niva, who was a slim blonde with green eyes.

"Is this business of yours dangerous, Nessa?" He inquired.

"Taking I am going into the dungeon to see if anything in there can help me figure out what I am here for, I would say yes, because other than that I have no clue as to what I need to do next, I joined the guild to earn money and pass time while I am figuring this out, other than that, I don't have much more to say on this particular matter, all I know is that I have to deal with it as soon as possible," She responded.

"I understand, but I will tell you that when the dungeon is concerned, everything about that goes straight to the royals, our new leaders, if what you are looking for is connected to them in any way, you might get into trouble," He said and she sighed.

"Is your business worth getting in trouble for?" Niva asked and Cortan sighed.

"Yes, I think it is, don't worry about me guys, you don't know me, I don't really care if I get into trouble, I will do what I need to, I have to,' She responded and they smiled as she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it.

"Well, it seems very important and since we have been thinking about a lot of things lately as well, we will help in any way we can," Yonja said and Nessa sighed.

"Thank you very much, but I don't want you guys getting involved in whatever I might get myself into, for some reason I feel its more dangerous than I think," She replied.

"And you can't give up on it or what? Your mind won't rest in peace?" He asked and she chuckled.

"You can say that, I saw something that won't make me rest in peace and now I can't just ignore it, no matter what," She responded and he scoffed. Check out m_vl_em_p_yr stories

"I can't say I understand, but I get what you are saying, let's finish off our food," He said and she nodded then continued eating.

A while after they finished eating, they stood up and Niva stretched off and Cortan patted her on the shoulder.

"Shall we go now?" Yonja asked as Nessa collected the food she bought for Isamu and Terou then they left the tavern and she stretched off.

"Well, thank you guys for the meal, I will head to the inn now, I am tired," Nessa said and they smiled at her.

"We are going to head home as well, it's getting more late and we all need to rest up well, we will be entering a dungeon after all," Yonja replied and they nodded.

"Good night, I will see you tomorrow," Nessa said.

"Good night," They replied, then everyone went in their own direction and upon arriving back at the inn.

Nessa went to her room, placed her bag down, then locked the door and gave them their share of the food that she got for them and they began eating, Nessa smiled at them before sighing, then looked out the window at the city lights before her with a gentle smile on her face and Isamu looked at her.

"What are you thinking, lady Nessa?" He asked and she glanced at him.

"Nothing important, though I don't want you guys to get in trouble, I have a feeling we are going to get in a lot here, people are different, what matters most is not what we think but you already know that, don't you?" He sighed and looked at Teruo when she asked.

"Yeah, I know that, but lady Nessa, it will be fine, we will stay by your side, no matter what happens, don't worry so much about us, we can take care of ourselves, you need to focus more on what you need to do," He responded, and she smiled at him.

"Go it, well as soon as we get things taken care of here, we will be heading back home, if we form another alliance it will be the third and that will be enough for now, I will focus more on our home," She said with a yawn before stretching off and Isamu chuckled.

"All right, that's a good idea, now you are tired and I know it, go get some rest," He replied and she smiled then patted him on the head and went to freshen up while he continued eating his food.
