Chapter 105: Three and a half days
When he returned to the others, they looked at him, and he smiled before sitting in a chair.
"Is she all right?" Dalia inquired.
"Yeah, she's fast asleep; she must have been exhausted," He replied.
"Yeah, she made it her top priority to name us," Zilrud said and Vill nodded while shaking Zoll in her arms.
"True, she is quite determined; I admire her greatly," Vill added and they smiled.
"To be honest, leaders like her are hard to come by, especially in this world, she thinks differently, I have noticed how she does things, sometimes it can be weird and other times understandable," Riki replied, and they agreed.
"I'm curious what else she has in mind; she seems to think a little differently than us, a little further," Youthim said.
"True, you see, I don't believe lady Nessa is from anywhere we know of; she is from a far more evolved place than ours," Dalia replied.
"You might be right, I for one believe she is, but in any case, we are going to push this a little further so that the only time we will be building in the future, other than necessary things, will be houses if more people come to live, am I right Youthim?" Riki inquired.
"Yes, you are correct, she also said that, I believe she will only build a few extra houses just in case," Youthim replied. "She is going to come to us with more ideas, I want to see what they will be about, for a young girl, she is quite intelligent."
"Agreed, most people that young cannot handle so many responsibilities, so they flee or delegate," Tehitos said.
"Yes, especially normal people, so lady Nessa is half-human right?" Zilrud asked.
"I believe so, yes, not all humans are bad, I'd like to see where this all leads us," Youthim responded, and they sighed before eating their dinner and going to their respective homes.
After more than three days, Nessa awoke at midday on the fourth day and stretched off.
[You are up.]
"How long was I out for?" Nessa asked.
[Three and a half days, the others checked in on you frequently, and they went about doing their work as usual.]
"I see, well, I guess it's time for me to get going, I feel really energetic again," She said as she got out of the bed.
[That's understandable; after resting for so long, your body's energy flowed more smoothly and grew.]
"I see, well now that that's over with, I will get going," She said then went and freshened up.
After the girl finished, she changed, ate breakfast, and left the house. When the citizens saw her, they all greeted her good day, and she smiled and waved at them before going to the others, who were usually in the center of town.
"Lady Nessa," Aion exclaimed as he noticed her, and they all turned to face her as she approached them.
"Good day, guys," She said.
"Good day, lady Nessa," They replied.
"Are you feeling better?" Vill asked and Nessa looked at her before nodding and they sighed in relief.
"That's good to know," Riki said and she smiled at him.
"Thank you," She replied.
"No need to thank me," He said as Akio and Isamu approached them and then bowed their heads.
"Lady Nessa, I apologize for bothering you, but I have something to report about our current situation," Isamu said and she looked at him.
"Go ahead and speak, what's the matter?" She asked.
"The Orcs," He responded.
"Where are they heading?" Nessa asked.
"I only saw a few of them scouting through the forest, I didn't see the others, they're huge," He responded, and Nessa sighed.
"Tell me, can the Orcs split into two groups and conquer half and half of the land?" Nessa inquired.
"They have the numbers, and they can do it," Zilrud replied.
"This will be more difficult than I anticipated; we'll just wait for them to arrive, but first we need to talk to the other species nearby," Nessa said, and they agreed.
"We'll deal with it with you," Riki replied, and Nessa smiled.
"Tell me which nation..." She said then a smile appeared on her face and she glanced at Youthim and the other dwarves.
"That will be your previous home as well, Youthim," Nessa said and he sighed.
"I won't worry about them for the time being, lady Nessa," He replied.
"Are you certain?" She inquired, and he nodded, after which she sighed and looked around.
"Youthim, we had plans to talk about, let's sit down and discuss them, then we will go ahead and meet the other species here," She said as they sat down.
"What would you like to add, lady Nessa?" He inquired, and she smiled.
"I'm going to form more alliances with other nations, but you already know what; however, there are a few things I know they don't have here that I can make using forest resources; do you guys want to hear what I'm thinking? It also includes cows." She responded, and they laughed. They sat down, and she started talking about things she could trade in the future that only they could create.
The majority of the ideas Nessa had were related to her previous life in the modern world, and she planned on using everything she had learned there to make life much easier for those in her nation, which would bring in more money than they could have ever seen.
They all understood what Nessa was saying and agreed to assist her.
"Don't worry, we more than understand now, so, with these new combinations, you'll be able to establish a stable trading relationship with whichever nation you choose?" Tehitos inquired.
"Yes, not only will it bring in more money, but it will also attract new things, which can be bad depending on who or what, but there are a lot of benefits," She replied and they smiled because no matter what was about to happen or whoever threatened their home, they intended to fight for it and have no intention of letting anyone take it from them since they finally found a place to belong.
