Ascension of the Monster Queen

The guy had black hair, was fair, slim, and muscular, and had an evil grin on his face.

He knew the leader of the monster nation would not back down, and he also knew that making deals with him would not change anything, so he decided to play a sick game, hoping Nessa would fall for it and submit to him and his master.

"You don't have to know who I am; I'm not as strong as the others, but I'm strong enough to take you on; now, let's play a game," He said.

"Game?" She inquired.

"Yes, a game, one in which all favors are stacked towards me and you only have one choice; tell me, do you believe all of these Orcs are evil?" He asked and her eyes narrowed.

"No, they are not," She responded.

"Exactly, I think you will want to help them, which is why if you kill me they will all die and even if you don't, without that, I will kill all of them unless you bend your knees, you only have one option here, what do you choose to do? "Will you bow to us or let them all perish?" Her eyes widened as he asked.

"Let me kill that..." Riki said, and Dali grabbed his arm as he was about to move, and he looked back at her.

"What is it?" He asked.

"You won't want to get in her way, Riki, let her think about what she needs to do, you know lady Nessa by now, at least in a sense, don't you?" Dalia inquired, and he sighed before she released his arm and he looked at Nessa.

"Are those my only options?" Nessa inquired, and the guy nodded before hurling his mask into the air and setting it ablaze. Nessa gazed at it as the ashes fell to the ground, then sighed and returned her gaze to the Orc leader.

"You really messed everything up, Zilrud, see if you can do anything about him," Nessa said as Zilrud approached his brother, crouched down, and placed his hand on his head, and the Orc leader looked at him as Nessa's tails wrapped around his limbs just in case he intended to harm Zilrud.

"Bro," Zilrud said and he began growling while trying to break loose from Nessa's grasp.

"Let me go..." He muttered, and Zilrud sighed, bracing his head against his, and Nessa looked at them as the Orc leader locked his gaze on Zilrud's eyes.

"Please come back home," Zilrud begged.

"Bro…" He mumbled as his eyes returned to normal, and Zilrud gasped as the guy controlling them gnashed his teeth and his eyes began glowing brighter, regaining control of the Orc, and Nessa sighed as her body began glowing gold and she released the brother's limbs.

Nessa spun around, using her tail and hitting him into the air, then wrapping it around him and was about to slam him into the ground but instead she hit him across the field while releasing her black flames that actually burnt him and she roared while the others stared at her and the guy got rid of the flames using the darkness and Nessa sighed while looking at the other Orcs.

"Lady Nessa," Dalia yelled as she rushed towards Nessa after seeing the guy disappear and reappearing behind Nessa with spikes forming in the air behind him, and Nessa turned around and her eyes widened when she saw them, and a red ball formed above her body and he chuckled.

"You still have a decision to make, bow or die?" He inquired as she gazed at the Orc leader who stood up, and Zilrud stared at him, knowing his brother was no longer himself.

"I'm not going to let you get in the way of our leader, even if you're my brother," Zilrud muttered before turning to face Nessa.

"Do what needs to be done; we're all on your side," He said, and Nessa bowed her head before leaping into the sky. At the same time, the guy released the ball along with the spikes which were red and before the ball could get near her, the black liquid formed before her, sucking it up, and Nessa landed back on her feet, but she noticed the spikes were still coming her way.

"Kill them," The guy mumbled, and Zilrud's brother's body began to move against his will, and he lifted his blade into the air and it began turning red.

'Zilrud isn't strong enough to fight him off; he hasn't been a problem so far because of how many times I've restrained him, but now...' Nessa thought when she  looked at the spike and gnashed her teeth before hitting them towards the leader of the Orcs, Zilrud saw the spikes coming towards them and sighed then moved out of the way because he knew after seeing his brother's body controlled like that meant there was no coming back for him.

"Oh no," The guy who controlled them said as he tried to stop the spikes but it was too late, they had already pierced through his body and after the leader fell to the ground bleeding the guy's eyes shook and the rest of the Orc's eyes returned to normal and they lowered their heads after realizing everything that they had done and another Orc among them who was tall, more big built, and fair stepped forward and bowed his head before their leader and Zilrud looked at him.

"You caused all of this to happen, destroying so many innocent lives, and for what? In exchange for land? Power?" Nessa inquired, and the guy sighed as he looked at her.

"Sometimes in life, you end up doing things you never expected to do, one day an option will come to you and you will have to make a choice, things are not as good as some may see it, you got in my way as well as theirs."

"They will not leave you alone, I doubt they will come after your nation, but they will come after you, if I were you, I would think about myself, this world is changing at a rapid pace, and a new order will arrive, then let's see what happens," He responded, and she sighed when she saw Zilrud crying over his dying brother.
