Who Is Ester Winch?

Chapter 29

“What about the Holy Treasure that can save Rem and Rom?”

Don't tell me that they also made it up? Ugh! They keep on hiding things from me!

Why can't they just tell me to make me understand?

“The Holy Treasure is me.” The boy said.

I thought it was the sword. How can he be the Holy Treasure?

“Really? Can you heal Rem and Rom?”

“I can but it may take a while.” That's great, as long as he can treat Rem and Rom it is enough.

“When will you start?”

“After this.”

“All right! Do your best.”

“I will!” he cheerfully said.

Finally, I thought that I failed and had to find another way to save Rem and Rom. I'm glad that I comfort this boy in his consciousness.

“Hahahaha…” I sarcastically laugh.

“What will you do from now on? Are you going to continue training?” asked Calcifer. This guy got on my nerves, I told him to trust me but he lied again.

“I'm going to build a civilization.”

They look at me in shock.

“Did I hear you right?” The lady.

I nodded.

“Why would you…?” the boy then he clung on me, “Demons and the High Beings don't like you, they will be a hindrance in your way.”

It's Ester they don't like but anyway, I found my purpose for Ester.

I realize when I saw her face that time when I was at the boy’s consciousness. I was wrong, there's no hint on her face that she felt the pressure of the task she is assigned to. If I were to ask, she is the type that will save people even though she is not told to.

If she were still alive, I'm sure she wanted to save the world. So, to repay her…I’ll be the one to do it.

I'll save the world in her stead.

I wonder what made her do it? Cursing herself, I mean. Something must have triggered her.

Anyway! The reason that I want to build a civilization is that I have a feeling that there's a war going to happen, it always happens in anime. I need help I could get and a fortress to protect us.

“Don’t mind them, just keep it a secret that I am awake. No one will know unless there's a snitch.”

What do I need in making a civilization? Hmm?

“Ester, what do I need to do to help you?” asked My One. He must be still guilty on what he did to Rem and Rom but it's already forgiven since the ghost can heal them.

Wait…

“Hahahaha…”

“What's wrong with her?” My One.

“I don't know…” Ghost.

“Don’t worry, I'll tie her up if she goes wild.” Calcifer.

I just got a bright idea. Hehehe

“She’s getting worst.” My One.

“Let's stay away, we might get caught.” Calcifer.

“You see…I am angry that you lied about Moon’s situation and you didn't tell me about Sir Alpha's curse. I felt like you don't trust me at all and it hurts me.” I put my fist in my chest and pretend that my feeling is hurt.

I saw Calcifer's face in disgust. He must notice that I'm up to something.

“We are sorry…” their face dropped. Hahahaha, It's working! Feel guilty, man!

“It was Calcifer's idea!” the lady while pointing at Calcifer.

Calcifer raised both of his hands, “I have nothing to do with this. You don't want her to know the situation of Moon and Alpha’s curse so I did what I did. I didn’t tell her the truth.”

Lorelie and Sir Alpha didn't know that I am not Ester so If they told me about Moon they think, I might blame myself and feel bad that is why, as much as possible they don't want me to know about Moon but Calcifer told me without them knowing. While Sir Alpha's curse, if I know that My One is alive…same as Moon, they think I might get angry again because My One didn't really repaid his debt in hurting Rem and Rom.

They don't really want Ester to get hurt. I wonder if they are also like this to Ester before, if so they shouldn't be because it could break someone trust.

“I'm not part of it since I just woke up.” Ghost.

“We don't meant to break your trust.” Sir Alpha apologetic said.

“I forgive you…” I said.

There was a relief in their face except for Calcifer.

“But, I still have to punish you all.”

I suppress my laughter and continue acting seriously.

“If that’s what makes you satisfied, I'm alright with it!” the lady said. Why does she feel excited?

“W-What… kind of punishment?” the Ghost asked.

“Well…Lorelie and Moon, I want you to gather all the monsters here.”

“That’s all?” They both asked.

“Of course not. After you finished what I assigned you, I will give you another one.”

“Roger!” they posed.

Then they fled to do what I assigned to them.

“What about us?” Sir Alpha asked.

Hehehe… I've been waiting for you to ask. Hehe hehe! Don't worry it's not gonna hurt.

“I'll give you all a human form.”

Their jaw dropped.

Hahahaha!

“I need civilians in my Civilization.”

The reason that I acted hurt was to make them have no choice but to agree to my term and make it a punishment that they cannot deny.

At least they can still change into their original form.

“If having a human form will help you in making your Civilization then we will agree to your punishment.”

Don't make it sounds bad, dude. You're making me guilty.

They lined up and I began on giving them human form.

Their human form has dark hair, pale skin, and red eyes.

“Calcifer, get them some clothes!”

“Why should I do what you say?” his hand is in his waist and his brow raised.

“It's a punishment.” His brow raised more.

“Not gonna happen.” He then disappeared.

Well, I expected that he will not listen to me.

I click my finger and clothes appear.

I gave it to them and I taught them how to dress.

“I-It’s so tight.” Sir Alpha.

“Here, I'll adjust the size.” I click my finger and adjusted Sir Alpha's clothes. Sir Alpha is a bulky and muscles dude. While Mama Garm, is such a beauty! Her beauty is so surreal! And, their sons have their Parents’ traits.

Hmm? Is it just me or Mama Garm's tummy is showing a bump?

My eyes widen. I change her clothes for a pregnant woman.

“Congratulations, Mama Garm!”

“Oh…You noticed.”

...

Moonshadow POV.

Ester assigned us to gather the monsters at Alpha's Territory. What is she going to do with them?

Is she…going to eliminate the monsters!? Maybe I'm right, she is going to build a Civilization and she doesn’t want any monsters roaming her territory.

“Moon, what are you spacing out?” Lor asked.

“Lor, what do you think about Ester's plan in making a Civilization.”

“I'm excited how she's going to manage it! And, I think she is back!” she doesn't sound that she is worried, am I the only one worried about what will happen if the high being found out that Ester is awake?

Before that happens, I have to be strong to take on the High beings. I will ask Cal to train me so that I can fight alongside Ester.

“Moon, it’s the Phix’s next.” Lor pointed at the nest.

“How should we move them to Alpha's Territory when there are too many of them?” There are 100 of them and we still have to go to other monsters.

“Can you use your other magic, Lor?” if she agrees to use it, our work will be easy peasy.

I hope she agrees.

“Yeah, I can.”

Nice!

“Lor, here's the plan.” I told her what we will do.

I prepared myself.

I found a sack, this sack must belong to the goblins. This will benefit us.

“I’m ready, Lor!”

She nodded.

She raised her hand and then everything stops or should I say, the time stopped.

“Go.”

Lor, have time and water magic. While me, I have the speed, plant, and healing magic. I can also use other magic but my main is what I just mention.

I get one baby for every monster and I include the Fairy's baby.

After I did what I did, Lor put everything back to normal.

I Inhale and take a deep breath.

Hooo…Okay, it's enough.

“I HAAVEE YOUR BABIESS!!” I shouted very loudly so that all of the monsters can hear.

I let them see their babies and they got angry after seeing it.

They growled at me. They are coming towards me.

Lor, is already hiding somewhere. Well, she knows that she can't keep up with me and the monsters since we are too fast compared to her.

I jumped between the trees so that they can catch me.

Finally, we have arrived.

I see Ester standing in front of Mama Garm.

“Esteeerrr!”I called her.

I approached her and she catch me falling.

‘I'm homee!” I said. “And, they are coming.” I pointed where the monsters are.

“Good job!” she messed up my hair.

She asked how we did it so, I gave her the sack where the babies are and she flicks my forehead because what I did is bad.

I just apologize.

She puts me down and walks in front.

She breathes then focuses on her mind.

“I am Ester Winch.”

Ester POV.

“Congratulations, Mama Garm!” Woahh…how many months is it?

“Oh…you noticed.” She shyly face-palmed.

“It' s daughters.” Sir Alpha proudly said and put his arm in the shoulder of Mama Garm.

“Daughters? You mean?” Oh my! What a blessing! They did it after all of the sons they been through.

I don't know how they determine the genders of their baby maybe a gut feeling?

“Twins!” He laughed.

Wait…both Mama Garm and Sir Alpha are undead…?

“Are the twins will be also undead?” I asked.

“We still don't know…I hope not.” Mama Garm face sadden.

It must be hard for her. What should I do to help them?

“Esteeeerrr!” I hear someone is shouting my name–I mean Ester’s name from above.

I looked up and saw a Ghost falling from above. It coming towards me.

I catch him.

“I’m home.” He said to me with a bright smile, “And, they are coming.”

The ground rumbles.

“Good Job!” I messed up his hair and he cutely laughed.

The lady is here too.

“How did you manage to make them follow you?” I asked.

“Umm…Stealing their babies?” He pulled out a sack and inside are different kind of baby monster.

I flick his forehead.

“Don't do that again.” He did a good job but I'll never condone his behavior of stealing a baby.

“I'm not going to do it again.”

“Sons, protect your Mama Garm.”

It' s funny to see them in fours while in their human form.

How do I stop this angry creatures?

Should I talk to them? It is my first time to use this kind of magic.

I should start…focus.

I'll introduce myself first.

They are coming, I can see them.

‘I am Ester Winch'

I talk through them with their minds.

They stopped in their tracks.

It worked then.

‘I'm sorry for stealing your babies.’

They got angry and growled at me.

‘We will give them back to you…’

‘…if you agree to my term.’ They got fierce.

I am aware that I am blackmailing them after I just told Ghost that do not do bad things. I'm such a hypocrite.

Someone walks in front.

A fairy…?

“You stole our baby and blackmail us, why would we listen to you? You are a witch that is cursed.” this is what I am afraid of. Ugh… I should have apologizes and told them that I have no idea about kidnapping the babies.

Why is she calling me a witch? Does she know me? Nevermind.

What is done, is done. There's no going back.

Since the Fairy talks with me in verbal so I answered her in verbal also the other creatures can understand us.

“This is the only way to get your attention. I know that you will not listen to me because you know about my status and it's also because of me that you cannot leave this place.”

I didn't planned to kidnap the baby, I need to make things up.

The Gate have been close for hundred years and since they are low ranks creatures, after they pass through the Gate, there are hundreds of demons waiting.

They also been through a lot like preserving their descendants and fighting each other to live.

Some of them are enemies and it takes a lot of time for them to be friends.

They are predator and prey. It's not good for them to stay in the same place.

“Get to the point.” Said the Fairy.

“I’m going to build a Civilization. Do you want to join me?”

If they cannot stay in the same place, I will change that rule.

“Never.” I easily got rejected.

I expected that.

“If you accept, you don't have to fight each other to survive.”

“You think, you can stop that? If yes. What about our ancestors that been killed by other monster, you think you can easily change our view?”

“What about your children? Do you want them to experience that? Do you want to live in the past and forget about the future?”

I know it's hard to live with your enemies, you cannot forgive them for killing your ancestors.

But Both of them are striving to survive and killing each other is one of them. I can't pinpoint whose fault it is.

“I’m going to build a home where everyone can be free. Where everyone is family and friends. Where there is no prey and predator. Everyone is equal. And, I promise to protect you all.” I reached out my hand. I hope my words also reach out to them.

“How will you free us?”

“I am Ester Winch, I can change anything only by my will.”

I found out about this while I'm in my training for a month. Apparently, I can change or make anything only by my will while observing how I use magic, I conclude that it is my will why I can use magic. If I think about something and told myself I can do it, then it is done.

If it’s hard to understand, then let us compared it with the creator. If the creator said, let there be light then there will be light.

If I said, let these creature free themselves from preying each other then it will happen. What I said, will come true that's why I must control what I wish.

I don't know the limits of this power that's why as much as possible I frequently use this power.

“Fine, I'll agree if you can free us and the future generation then we will follow you, Ester.” Said the fairy.

Why did she said my name?? It's not my fault if you got cursed okay!?

“Dude, don't leave my hand hanging.” She finally reached out of my hand.

The other monsters agreed too.

That's great! Then it's my time to keep my promise.

I'll free them.

I focus my mind, “I, Ester Winch. Sets you free from preying and eating each other. There are no longer bloodbath will happen between you monsters. And, you are not monsters anymore… you are equal to all beings includes humans.”

Done!

“Thank you, but may I ask why other monster– I mean, what should I call them? Umm…the other creatures look like humans?” the fairy asked.

“Oh that! I've given them human form but they can change back if they want and you can now evolve to other levels. Also, I increase all your strength, magic and intelligence capacity so that if you want to leave this place you have a chance to defeat the demons outside.”
