Chapter 112: Suggested
The chiefess didn't know what to say after hearing what Nessa said, so she just smiled and lowered her head.
"You are a crazy young woman, you are brave and don't mind putting yourself in danger to protect what you love, you put your people first, you are the perfect leader for them, isn't she?" Riki sighed and smiled after the chiefess asked.
"Yes, she is the perfect leader for us, I am not the only one who thinks that, she is different from other leaders," Riki responded, and Nessa smiled before patting him on the shoulder, and he smirked as the chiefess smiled.
"Yeah, I thought as much, tell me, do you want our help to fight them off?" She asked.
"That and if possible..." Nessa responded.
"Perhaps you could consider becoming her subordinates," Riki suggested, and Nessa smiled.
"Subordinates huh?" She asked as she looked at her people then sighed and looked around at the cave before lowering her head.
"Can we have a meeting back at your home to discuss more? I would like to see what your place looks like," The chiefess said and Nessa smiled.
"Sure, how about tomorrow?" Nessa asked.
"Are you going to head back now?" The chiefess asked.
"Yes, I am not tired, so," She responded.
"How about me and a few of my kind come with you?" The chiefess asked as Riki looked at Nessa who smiled.
"I don't mind, you guys can come along; we'll probably be back by morning," Riki smiled as she responded while wiping her eyes.
"You are not tired, huh?" He asked.
"I just want to go back, of course, I am not tired," She responded and he chuckled.
"Call on your wolf," Riki said then Nessa sighed and closed her eyes before calling out to Akio, who was sleeping, but heard her call and woke up immediately before disappearing and reappearing before her and the chiefess gasped as he growled at them.
"Akio, it's fine," Riki said then he went back to normal and looked at Nessa who patted him on the head.
"Did I wake you up?" She asked as he looked at her.
"I was sleeping, but, that doesn't matter, how can I help you, my lady?" He asked as he bowed his head and she smiled.
"There's no need for that, Akio, just relax," She responded.
"Can you fetch her on your back? She is tired and wants to sleep but doesn't want to admit it," Riki said and Nessa looked at him.
"Ignore him, Akio," She replied as she transformed into her fox form, jumped up on his back, then sighed as the chiefess stared at them and Riki looked at her.
"That's another form, a gifted one to use if she doesn't want certain things," Riki said.
"I see, well, having another form to roam around in is useful," The chiefess replied, and Riki and Akio nodded as Nessa stretched off.
"Shall we?" The chiefess asked as she walked away with three of her guards and two other of her kind then they left, heading to the town.
While they were going, Nessa closed her eyes and her vision blurred as she began to fall asleep, and Akio glanced at her as the moonlight shone on her body, and the chiefess smiled.
"She was indeed tired," The chiefess said as Nessa fell asleep.
"Our master has been working really hard to give us all a good home," Akio replied.
"Sometimes a lot of them think they don't deserve it, but she thinks otherwise, she says it's her being a bit selfish, but that doesn't matter, we will make sure nothing happens to the leader of that nation without her I doubt whether it will stay standing for long," Riki said as he recalled what Dalia had said to him, and the chiefess sighed, feeling a little lighter.
"I don't know her, but from the way she spoke to me about what she will do to those who try to destroy what you guys are creating, she seems as though she will be a really good leader, her eyes, they are compelling, filled with desires, I haven't seen one like those before," The chiefess replied, and Riki smiled as she looked at Nessa.
"I'm not sure how far she intends to take this, but I don't think it will matter to anyone back there; they will help her in any way they can, because giving creatures a life like what she is doing is difficult and dangerous," Riki said, and the chiefess nodded.
"She has to be more than brave, she has a drive, one that pulls others in, I will feel sorry for those who tries to harm those she cares about, she is sweet and young, she has so many other options in life, yet she chose this, she i part human that's for sure, but that's not a problem, I hope she can create the nation of her dreams as well as the others back at the town," She said and Riki sighed as Nessa stretched off on Akio's back and he glanced at her then her eyes opened and she peeked at him before smiling.
"Aren't you guys going to take a break?" Nessa asked.
"Ah, you are up, no, we are not tired, we are built differently lady Nessa," Riki responded as she tilted her neck looking at him then he lifted her up in his arms and she sighed.
"Hey, just so you know, I'm not a pet," She said, and he chuckled.
"I know," he replied, "but I'm giving Akio a break."
"Liar, I don't need a break, she is not heavy," Akio said and the chiefess and her people started laughing.
"Of course, they can't help it, that's quite a cute form lady Nessa," The chiefess said and Nessa exhaled deeply then looked up at Riki as he was about to pat her and she growled and he smiled.
"Put me back on Akio, besides you won't be able to carry me like he does, Riki," She said then he looked at Akio with a smile and Akio sighed as Nessa jumped out of his hand and landed on Akio's back.
