Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Ever since you woke up, we have been asking you questions, and since we don\'t have anything else to check on, what\'s your name?" Nessa asked.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, my apologies, my name is Riley, and it\'s nice to meet all of you," She responded.

"Nice to meet you as well, Riley," Nessa said with a smile.

"Well, Riley, can you get back to Kurson?" Dalia inquired.

"No, I don\'t have teleportation abilities; I wish I did right now, but I don\'t," She replied.

"We are not sure if he\'ll come right away to get you if he defeats that thing; will you stay here for the time being?" Riley looked at Nessa before lowering her head, and Nessa sighed.

"It\'s okay, you can stay here until you decide you want to go home or get tired of waiting on him, whatsoever," Nessa said as Riley stared at her then smiled and bowed her head.

"Thank you very much, I won\'t stay too long, lady Nessa," Riley replied and Nessa patted her on the shoulder.

"It\'s okay, Riley, you need to relax a little, for now, stay with Dalia, I have to get going, I haven\'t done anything all morning, and it\'s almost midday as well," Nessa said as she stood up, and Yanka approached her and tapped her on the shoulder as Riki stood up and she looked at the two.

"Hello, Yanka, and good morning," She said.

"Good morning, you are coming with me," He replied and Riki tapped her on the shoulder after which she sighed and glanced at him.

"What is it?" She asked and his eyes narrowed.

"Are you forgetting something?" He asked.

"You two... I never imagined that wanting to train more would backfire like this," Nessa responded and Dalia laughed.

"Who are you going to pick, lady Nessa?" Dalia inquired, and Nessa sighed.

"Train with me first, then with him," Riki suggested.

"What do you say to that Yanka?" Nessa asked as Sai appeared before them and a smirk appeared on Nessa\'s face, she approached Sai and then placed her arm around his neck and he glanced at her.

"Lady Nessa, what\'s the matter?" Sai asked.

"They are going to argue about who I should train with, I will decide the schedule for that tomorrow, today I just won\'t train, help me out here Sai, I am going to have a headache," She mumbled and he chuckled before looking up at the two and sighing.

"Are you two seriously going to argue over this?" Sai asked.

"We are not going to argue," Yanka responded.

"Are they going to fight?" Riley asked and Dalia patted her on the back.

"Relax, lady Nessa is smart, she will handle this in no time, they won\'t fight," Dalia responded and Nessa sighed.

"Listen, Lady Nessa won\'t be training with you guys today; instead, she\'ll be joining me and Dalia on patrol; Dalia volunteered to help yesterday; this is what I\'d call the end of the conversation; no more discussing this if you guys can\'t compromise," Sai said, and Nessa smiled as Liya chuckled.

"Well, I would say, he got them both good," Liya said, as Riki sighed before turning to face Yanka.

"She doesn\'t have to go on patrol; we\'ll divide our time with her; she can train with Riki first, then with me; how\'s that lady Nessa?" Yanka inquired, and Nessa smiled.

"Now that\'s better, Riki, are you okay with this?" Nessa asked, and he sighed before turning to face her.

"Yeah, this is better, there will be no arguing over this anymore," He responded as he and Yanka bowed their heads.

"It\'s okay and there is no need to bow your head, please raise it up," She said and the others began laughing.

"You guys really love putting lady Nessa on the spot, that is not always good," Dalia said as she approached Nessa who looked at Sai and he smiled at her.

"I have never really spent much time with you either, there is still so much to do, if you need help with anything, come to me Sai, got it?" She asked.

"Got it, if I need help I will come to you, are you going to train still?" When Sai asked, Nessa looked at Riki and smiled.

"Yeah, I\'m going to train; there\'s a lot more I need to learn; the others are doing their share of work; there\'s not much for me to do today, so it\'ll be fine, thank you, Sai," She responded, and he bowed his head.

"You are more than welcome, lady Nessa, I will get back to doing my work as well, bye," He said.

"Bye," She replied before moving her hand off of him, then he disappeared and she sighed.

"Shall we go ahead and begin training, lady Nessa?" Riki asked.

"Yes, we should get going," She responded.

"All right," He said.

"It doesn\'t matter if I am training, if there is something wrong, come and get me, got it guys?" Nessa asked and they nodded.

"Don\'t worry, if anything happens, no matter what, we will come and get you, go train and don\'t overdo it, lady Nessa, you are a girl after all," Dalia said and Nessa smiled at her.

"Yeah, I know, don\'t worry too much Dalia, I\'ll be fine, I won\'t overdo it, not today, I hope you guys have a good day and show her around," Nessa replied, and Dalia looked at Riley, who smiled at her despite her fear of Dalia.

"Fine, since it\'s what you want lady Nessa, I will show her around, I owe her a bit I guess, be careful," Dalia said and Nessa smiled then left with Riki and the others went back to doing their daily work while Dalia showed Riley around town.
