Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa followed Riki back to where they first trained, and he sighed before sitting on a rock, and she looked at him.

"What's the matter? Is there something bothering you?" She asked and he looked at her then smiled.

"Not quite, lady Nessa, I know we have been over this a lot of times, but it's a question that just keeps on coming back, do you think we will all be able to live in peace?" He asked.

"In a way, yes," she responded, "but there will always be those looking down on us, wanting to get rid of us or take what we have, and some won't stop no matter what, there is never true peace Riki, there will never be something as true peace," he smiled before getting off the rock.

"You are right, there will never be true peace, but yet you can be happy, shall we begin?" He asked.

"I have been ready all this time, maybe I should be the one asking you that instead," She responded and he chuckled.

"You can, so we'll pick up where we left off yesterday, are you okay with that?" He asked, and she nodded. He sighed in relief, and they began training to improve their skills, despite the difficulty.

Later that day, after Nessa had finished training, she looked down at her bruised hand and sighed after seeing how bad it was.

"What's the matter?" Riki asked, and she hid her hand from him, his eyes narrowing as he looked at her.

"Lady Nessa, are you trying to hide something from me? Is something wrong with your hands?" He asked and she smiled.

"Nope, it's fine," She responded

"For some reason, I do not believe you, you look very suspicious, lady Nessa, I don't like this, please show your hand," He said.

"Relax, it's fine," She replied.

"If it's so fine, then show it to me, why are you not showing it to me?" He asked.

"Shall we just head back?" She asked as she walked away and he sighed.

"Sure, let's head back," He responded as he followed her and she sighed.

'These things happen in training, but they worry too much, it can easily be healed, I don't like worrying others, not now or ever, I still haven't gotten used to certain things here, not yet, and I think the reason why it's difficult for me is because I was never with warm people all the time, life was difficult back then,' Nessa thought as they returned to town and she exhaled deeply before looking up at the sky.

"Lady Nessa, you are early today," Liya said as she approached Nessa and Riki peeked at her hand with a smirk on his face and as she was about to move, he grabbed onto her hand.

"Ouch," She said and he sighed.

"Riki, what are you doing?" Liya asked then Riki showed Liya, Nessa's hand and Liya sighed.

"Lady Nessa, your hand is really burned, how did that happen?" Liya asked.

"I think it's training so much, she should take a break, well, that's what I think," Riki responded as Nessa lowered her head and Liya looked at her.

"What's the matter? Liya asked.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Riki asked and she glanced at him, then smiled.

"Because, it will heal fast, it's not a problem," She responded and Riki sighed, then patted her on the shoulder.

"Next time something like this happens, tell us, you don't need to hide these things, it happens at times," Liya said and Nessa smiled before going under the tent with them.

"Sit down, let me see your hand, or can you heal it yourself?" Liya asked and Nessa sighed.

'Am I capable of healing myself?' Nessa wondered.

[It depends on your wounds; you can heal your hand; it's not a bad wound, if it was, it will sap a lot of your energy; go ahead.]

"I see, yes, I can heal my hand Liya, don't worry," Nessa responded and Liya smiled as Nessa's eyes glowed blue along with her hands and she smiled as they began healing and Riki smiled at her.

"Well, that's nice that you can heal yourself," Riki said and Nessa nodded before smiling at them as Yanka approached them.

"What's the matter?" He asked and they looked at him and then smiled.

"It was just a training accident, her hands got burnt out," Riki responded, and Yanka glanced at Nessa.

"I'll be fine, there's nothing to worry about, and I'll start training with you tomorrow as well," She added and Yanka patted her on her shoulder before sighing.

"You are so young yet so hardworking, I forget that sometimes, it's okay, relax a bit, you can't overwork yourself, it's bad for your health, and like Dalia said, you're still a girl," Yanka said, and Nessa chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm aware of that, thank you Yanka, and I'll avoid training tomorrow, but..." She replied.

"No buts, please no," Yanka said and she scoffed.

"All right, I get it, also it's already night, where are Dalia and Riley?" Nessa asked.

"We are right here, lady Nessa, there is no need to worry so much," Dalia responded as she approached Nessa with Riley and Nessa smiled.

"Good, Riley, what do you think of our home?" Nessa asked and Riley smiled.

"This place is great, I can see why he took a liking to it, it's warm, he likes warm," She responded with a gentle smile as they looked at Nessa's hand and Dalia scoffed.

"What's wrong with your hands?" Dalia asked.

"It's just a training accident, totally normal nothing too big," Nessa responded.

"You don't sound quite convincing, but I understand, during training, it's only natural for things like these to happen but you still have to be careful, don't put yourself at cost to get stronger," Dalia said and Nessa nodded.

"Well, is it healing?" Riley asked, and Nessa sighed as her hands stopped glowing, a smile on her face as she saw that her hand was completely healed, and they all sighed in relief, to see that small wounds on herself could be healed by her own powers.
