Chapter 33: Rushing
"See? You will suffice for the feast," She said as she flung the strings at him, and in less than a minute, the crab fell to the g in front of her feet and its head fell off and it\'s limbs brok, leaving the others staring.
"Was it just the strings?" The slim old fair ogre with the gray and silver beard asked.
"It\'s sharp; it\'d be ideal for a fast runner." The young tanned ogre spoke up, his hair falling in front of his face.
"Aion, let the others help you with moving it," Nessa said as she approached Dalia, and Dalia stood up as the one Nessa was arguing with approached her with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Stop this," Dalia said.
"She is probably the one who attacked our village," He replied.
"No, she isn\'t, and I can say that with confidce," Dalia said.
"What are you saying Dalia?" He asked as the next female ogre and the others approached them.
"This is Nessa, I met her just before the village was destroyed, she is new a her, she helped me wh I got away with my life and that was after the village got destroyed, she healed me, I spt a little while with her before coming to look for you guys," She responded.
"The fox th?" He asked while lowering his head and Nessa sighed.
"You must have se a similar one to him, I tamed this one, they work for me, I promise, I didn\'t destroy your village, I am glad you found them Dalia," Nessa said, as Dalia smiled and hugged Nessa tightly, while the other ogres looked on.
"I\'m sorry," He said as Dalia rose from Nessa, and the guy got down on his knees in front of Nessa, who smiled nervously.
"Stop this, everyone, come back to the town with us, we\'ll talk," Nessa said, and he looked at her a bit confused as to what she was talking about before getting up.
"Are you certain?" He inquired, and she sighed as the wolves assisted Aion and the other goblins in packing the crab for transport back to the town.
"Yeah, we\'ll talk about it back in town, it\'ll be night soon and I\'m hungry," Nessa replied and the ogre smiled.
"Come on," Nessa said before leaving with the wolves, Akio, Isamu, and the others, while the ogres followed them quietly, nervous because they had attacked them without knowing the truth but, luckily Nessa understood the situation and wanted to talk about it more since Dalia was her frid.
Dalia gave Nessa a gtle smile as they walked to the town.
"Are you actually following your dreams of building a nation?" Dalia asked.
"Yes, it\'s be months, my village has transformed into a town, things are going pretty well," She responded as the ogre who wanted to kill her sighed th looked at her.
"I guess nothing is impossible if you work hard ough," Dalia said to which Nessa nodded.
"Can you tell me their names?" Nessa inquired.
"They don\'t have any, I was named by chance, but I didn\'t evolve because it was just a name my mother started calling me, it\'s the name of the blue water flower," Dalia replied, before Nessa sighed.
"I see," Nessa said with a smile on her face.
"Woah!" Dalia said as they arrived at the town and all of the goblins along with the other creatures stared at the ogres as they tered and he ogres stared right back at them.
"Uh... Nessa, are you sure you want us to be here?" Dalia inquired, and Nessa glanced at her before smiling.
"Sure, everyone gather a please," Nessa said.
"Guests, my lady?" Zietaz asked after approaching Nessa.
"Yes, they are; now that it\'s almost night, let\'s start cooking, and do you mind if they stay here?" Nessa inquired, and the creatures exchanged smiles.
"Of course it is, we\'re trying to grow and this is your place, you don\'t have to ask," Tehitos responded, and Nessa smiled.
"All right, guys, let\'s get started," She said and they all started cooking in the middle of town on a large pot, cooking the crab they had caught as well as a few other things.
It was already night wh they finished cooking, and Nessa wt up to the ogres who had sat with the dwarfs, along with Zeitaz and Akio.
"Guys here," Dalia said as she served her fellow mates, food, which they collected before smiling at Nessa.
"Thank you," The old samurai ogre said and Nessa smiled.
"You\'re welcome," she replied.
"My lady," Aion shouted, and Nessa jumped as she turned to face him, and he brought her a bowl of food, which she took and sighed.
"Aion, stop being so loud, you will make her and someone else think something is wrong," Zietaz said, and Aion grinned as Nessa sat down with them on the soft grass to have their dinner.
Before Nessa could bite into the meat, a few goblins and the next ogre girl appeared, and she looked at them, staring at her, before taking her first bite and smiling brightly.
"This is good," She said, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"We\'re glad you liked it; I\'m a good cook, and they told me they were having trouble getting their seasonings and such right; the goblin chef is also great, and it\'s nice here," The girl said with a gtle smile and Dalia grinned before wrapping her arm a the girl\'s neck.
"Thank you for teaching them what you know," Nessa replied and the girl bowed her head.
"So you saw the next one who helped in destroying your village, and Dalia saw the same guy I saw, the one in black?" Nessa inquired, and they exchanged glances after hearing she saw one of the attackers.
"Yes, that\'s exactly it, I tried to get to them, but they vanished; I saw a similar fox, which is why I suspected you, especially since no one here could tame the wild beasts, and it came rushing," The ogre who wanted to kill her responded, and Nessa sighed, knowing that something bad was going on in the world, and that the nation she was building might become tangled in it, but she had no inttion of giving up.
