Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Good morning Nessa, confused about what\'s going on here?" He asked.

"Yes, I am a bit confused, even up until last night, everything was just fine, what has changed? Did I miss something?" Nessa asked and the guild master chuckled then raised his hand up, placing the string of hair that was before her eyes, behind her ear and the others looked at him then he smiled and Nessa glanced at him.

"Thanks," She said.

"You are welcome, I will explain to you what\'s going on, to be honest, almost all of us nearly forgot what today is or believe me you would have gotten the message," He replied.

"What did you guys forget exactly?" She asked.

"Today is the guild\'s anniversary," The guild master responded and Nessa looked at him then smiled.

"Well, that\'s nice, congratulations," Nessa said.

"Thank you, now I have an invitation to give you guys," He replied.

"How long has it been?" Nessa asked.

"About five years, I am the very first guild master here, the king and queen built this place as a means of providing in many different ways," The guild master responded and Nessa\'s eyes narrowed while looking at him.

"Well, I am glad to see that everything is going fine and that what they built together is still standing strong," She said and he nodded.

"Yeah and I will make sure that it remains that way, no matter what happens, I will not let this place get destroyed, I will protect it," He replied with nothing but passion in his eyes.

\'Why is he talking like that? I can\'t help but wonder if he might be.... Just maybe...\' Nessa wondered then he looked at her and smiled.

"I am sorry, I didn\'t mean that in a weird way or so on," He said and Nessa smiled at him.

"Don\'t worry, I know that you didn\'t mean it in a weird way, it\'s good that you are thinking like that, after all, as the guild master here, it is your duty to protect this place and all who works in it, no matter what, right guys?" Nessa asked as she looked at the others.

"She is right, you know and it\'s our job to protect each other as well, that\'s just how things are supposed to be within this guild, you have done your job well for so long, you hardly even take any break and you take on big missions, you deserve to live like a normal person ever once in a while," Ian said.

"He is right, on spot with that,there is nothing wrong with taking a day off or even a weak, one needs time to be able to live again, breath properly, you won\'t be able to relax if you don\'t let go," Yonja added as the guild master stared at them before lowering his head and Nessa sighed.

"Is there something else bothering you?" Niva asked.

"No, there is nothing else bothering me, I will take your advice and take a break, not as yet though, soon enough," He responded.

"That\'s more like it, relax, enjoy your life with those around you or go on an adventure, meet new people and if you haven\'t found where you belong as yet, you might be able to do that," Nessa said and the guild master smiled before sighing.

"I get it, I hear all of you and I promise I will give it a try, but now I have other things to do so, I hereby invite you to the celebration of the guild\'s fifth anniversary party tonight," He said and they smiled at him.

"Thank you," They replied.

"There will be dancing, a feast, singing and so on so dress up a bit, don\'t come in your working outfit, wear a baggy pants if need be, anything except working outfit, for the sake of the party," He said and they all burst out laughing.

"Well, we get it and we will be here," Nessa replied.

"Good, now I am going to get back to work, I have got a few things to take care of and they need to be finished before tonight," He said before rushing off and they chuckled then Nessa stood up and the others looked at her.

"Are you going somewhere?" Ian asked.

"Yes, I am going to do a bit of shopping and make sure these guys have a good time, just I hope I don\'t get lost, I haven\'t really taken the time to tour the place," She responded as they exchanged glanced before standing up and Nessa looked at them.

"Then, you are in luck today," Cortan said.

"I am?" Nessa asked.

"Yes, you are, we are going to take you around, today will be a busy day, but yet there will be a lot of things to see from merchants and so on, we will make sure you have a good time with them," Sophia responded and Nessa smiled.

"All right, I will take you guys up on that offer, I will need help moving around here, so, are you guys ready now?" Nessa asked and they smiled at her.

"Yeah, we are ready, we don\'t have anything to do right about now, the others will take care of everything for the part tonight, we did our part, it\'s now their turn," Yonja responded.

"Well, seems like we have a nice day ahead of us," Sophia said as she reached to pat Terou and he wanted to pull back but then looked at Nessa\'s smiling face and allowed the girl to pat him.

"Ah, he is so cute, he actually allowed me to pat him this time without a fuss," Sophia said.

"Pretty sure he did that because of Nessa, she is right here, he has nothing to worry about, lay off the poor creature for a while," Yonja replied before sighing and pulling her away from Terou and she grinned.
