Ascension of the Monster Queen

After hearing what he said, Nessa knew exactly what needed to be done to secure their future, and she made another decision at that moment.

"I don't care how quickly the world changes, I will never let the ones you work for bring a new order, they can come after me all they want, but that's how they will die one by one, they hurt the people I care about, I will hurt them worse than that, I will never let anyone stand in the way of our dreams, I will not let anyone take what I have, you should have said your goodbye," Nessa said, his eyes widening.

He was about to move when her paw glowed orange and she pressed it against his stomach, causing her flames, both black and orange, to consume his body. As he screamed, his body turned to ash and vanished, and she sighed and looked around at the others who bowed their heads.

Nessa approached Zilrud and his brother, then sighed and placed her glowing paw on his body.

"I'm sorry, but I can't heal him now, he went through a bit too much." The leader of the Orcs then held Nessa's paw and she looked at him, and he smiled.

"I know this isn't your true identity, now I know, thank you for putting me out of my misery, this all started because we wanted to change, I was alone one day out of our village when I was approached by the one you just killed, he said he could give us all a good life, make us all be accepted, but then he took us under his control, after seeing what we were doing, many times I tried to stop, but his control was stronger than my will..." He replied.

"I understand, relax, and I'm sorry I couldn't save you, I really want to," She said he chuckled while patting her hand.

"It's okay, you took in my family and I'm glad I can't be saved, this put me out of my misery, now I can finally rest in peace, knowing that there is someone who can take care of everything here, you are truly a blessing to us and you have done more than enough for all of us, please take in the others if you can, including my son..." He replied and Nessa gasped as Zilrud's eyes widened and his brother took his final breath before closing his eyes.

"Thank you," Zilrud said, bowing his head to Nessa, who sighed and patted him on the shoulder before looking at her wound.

"You should really take care of that," Riki said to Nessa, who nodded.

"I will take care of it once we get back, the day is moving fast," She replied as they looked at the sunlight reflecting on the Orcs and Nessa looked at them as they bowed their heads.

"Which of you is his child?" She inquired as the one who had stepped forward before, went down on his knees, and Zilrud stood up and looked at him.

"Are you his son?" Zilrud asked, and he nodded. Zilrud then looked at Nessa before approaching her.

"What are you going to do?" He asked.

"They have nowhere else to go," The chief added and the chiefess nodded.

"Come on, let's all go back to town, we will see then," She said as she walked away and the son lifted his father's body up and they took him with them.

Nessa sighed in relief as she saw the chief and his son, as well as those who were fighting follwoing them back to the town as well since they still had much to discuss.

A while after, they arrived at the town and the Orcs looked at it and upon seeing them, Fana took down the barrier and they entered with everyone in town staring at them.

"Lady Nessa, you are hurt," Liya said as she rushed to Nessa, and Nessa nodded before transforming into her true form, and she was about to fall because she was tired and had expended a lot of energy, but Riley grabbed her arm and Nessa smiled at her, then she took a deep breath and her hands began glowing purple, and she placed it on her wound, which healed in two minutes because it was not deep or bad.

"I am healed; may I please have something to drink, Liya?" Nessa inquired, and Liya smiled as they went under the tent and sat down, and Nessa glanced at the chief before getting up and beginning to heal him as well.

"Relax and trust me, you will be fine, your wound is a little deep but doesn't matter," Nessa said with a gentle smile, and the chief smiled and sighed, relieved.

"Lady Nessa, can we talk about the future after this? We need to," He said and she looked at him.

"Sure, we'll talk, but after everyone has relaxed and eaten, everyone is safe for the time being, and..." She sighed as she turned around and looked at the Orc leader's son, who smiled slightly.

"Zilrud, can you go with him to bury his father?" Nessa asked and Zilrud nodded.

"I will find a good spot, one that perfectly suits him, come on," He responded then left with his nephew.

"Take it easy, you have done too much today, what are you going to do now, Lady Nessa?" Dalia inquired as she approached Nessa, who had finished healing the chief and sat back down because she had grown more tired.

"For the time being, I think I'll freshen up and get something to eat because I'm too tired right now then I will get some sleep later on, my poor body needs that as should you guys, you have been up all night; oh I almost forgot, can you bring out the big pot?" Nessa asked, and Dalia smiled before going to get it.

Liya approached Nessa with a large glass of cold drink, and Nessa smiled and thanked her before taking it.

Nessa had already made a decision about all of the Orcs but hadn't said anything because she wanted to treat them to a good meal first.
