Who Is Ester Winch?

Chapter 30

“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.”

“I think giving us a human form is unnecessary…” the Fairy.

My heart aches, they don't like it… I just wanted to see them in human form. I'll just undo it then.

“Woohoo! Look, I have five fingers!” a Goblin said.

“I'm tall!” another Goblin said.

“Umm…it’s very cold.” A naked girl Phix.

“Hohoho…I...can…talk.” said the elder goblin.

They can talk because of the increase of intelligent capacity. I gave them the ability to talk, think, and learn.

“It’s unnecessary but I think every one likes it.” Does that mean, I don't have to undo it??!

Yohoo!

The elder goblin and phix, approach us.

“We will be in your care.” They both said.

This is great.

Since I have now civilians. The next step is to build houses and agriculture.

I can easily do it with my will but I am planning to make them work and build relationships between them.

So, I'll leave it to them.

“Listen! Our first assignment is to build houses and agriculture. Sons Garm and Goblins will build the houses; while the Phix and fairies are assigned for agriculture. And, I and Lorelie will work for Water System. We will start tomorrow.” They all agreed then went home. I invited them to stay at the Mansion but they decline because they also have to take care of some things.

We are at the Mansion and Sir Alpha and his family are with us, I invited them because I am concerned about the condition of Mama Garm. It is not good for her staying outside especially the cave where it gets cold in the high.

His sons can't still walk in two legs and I keep on holding my laughter.

“Lady, can you lead them to their room?”

“Of course.”

The lady gesture to follow her.

“Good night, Ester.”

I waved at them and said my good night.

“Ester! You didn't assign me to do some work!” The ghost sobbed.

“You're going to take care of Rem and Rom, remember?”

“Besides that!” what else does he want?

“I want to help in building your Civilization!”

“You already did. You helped on making the Fairies, Phinxs and Goblins to be on our side and you are the one who’s going to treat Rem and Rom. You are the Healer of my Civilization.”

“Really? I did.” His eyes sparkle. This ghost is the same age with the Lady and Alpha but still have the mind of a child.

“Yes, so you should now start treating Rem and Rom.” I hope they will wake up soon so that they can see the process of the Civilization that was going to build.

“Okay, I'll be going now! I'll treat right now.” He runs toward where Rem and Rom are.

A lot happened today. I was able to convince the Phinx, Fairy, and Goblin to become part of my Civilization. And, I finally save Rem and Rom. I can't wait to see them.

I wonder what we will do when they wake up? I imagine them crying and saying ‘thank you' for saving them and I will proudly say, “It’s nothing.”

Hehehe, I can't wait.

….

It's hot.

The sun is scorching hot.

I can change the weather but I don't want to depend too much on my power. That's why I have to endure this heat.

Everyone is busy and sweaty. Since, it's hot they took off their shirt, and now, they are topless. Also, one of the reasons that I don't want to change the weather. Thus, I enjoyed my view.

Right now, they cutting down the trees to have an open area to build the houses and use these trees as a log.

For now, we will stay focused on building wooden houses. If we have enough manpower and materials, we will start building a concrete house. And if the agriculture is already stable.

If you ask how they cut the trees, they cut it down by an ax that I made using magic. And, as I planned they are working together but sometimes I can hear arguments behind my back.

But, no need to worry, it is part of building a relationship.

Phinx and the Fairies are carrying a basket of fruits.

“Everyone, Break time!” they put down the ax and approach the fruits.

They sat down and take a break.

“Ester, here.” The fairy that I talked to yesterday gave me some Fruits.

“Thanks. Evangeline, right?” I heard the fairies called her that.

“You know my name?”

“Yes, I heard it.”

“That's embarrassing, I didn't introduce myself properly.” She blushed.

“Don't worry. I don't mind.”

“Hello, young one.” The Elder goblin joined us.

Ehem. I’m not going to confess that Ester is older than you.

“Hello.” I greeted.

Evangeline also greeted.

“I'm glad that I was able to see you before I die.” He sat beside me. “I heard stories about you.”

“Hmm? Aren't I been forgotten?” That's odd before too when I first introduce myself, I have a feeling they know about me But, Rom said that everyone forgets Ester.

“There this book that called ‘The Witch at the Mansion', that's how we know about you but not your name. This book was passed down from generation to generation also other monsters have their own version of the book. We know that you are powerful and when you talk to us using your mind we know that you are the Witch.”

“How can you be so sure?” it's impossible to say that I'm that Witch when its name is not mentioned. The book could be fictional.

“Your portrait is in the book.”

Huh?? Did Shoes make that book, too??

“Who is the author?” I asked.

“It is not mentioned.” The book that I have has Shoes name but why their book is none?

“In my opinion, the author made the book because he doesn’t want us to forget Ester and her heroic deeds.” Fairy. So, she also read the book. The Elder didn't mention anything about the heroic story.

“You knew about my heroic deeds therefore you knew that I'm a good person but why did you still intimidate me when we were making a deal?”

“Yes, you’re a hero. But, we have to hear your reason…not all are the same as me who believe you, that you are the Witch. You also have to earn their trust.” She got a point. That time, they are confused and angry about what I have done, stealing their baby.

I was cursed before they were born, not all of them knows about me or read the book. And, they haven’t fully trusted me yet.

For them, I am just a person that sets them free but made them my Civilians which is not actually freeing them. A Dictator.

They don't have a choice but to follow me because I could end them easily.

They don't know me and they don't know my role in this world. They might be thinking, that anytime I could betray them.

I have to earn their trust.

“I mentioned my name before if they said it, they might get cursed.” I'm such a clutz. Why did I say my name??

“Don't worry they are fully aware that your name shouldn't be heard in their mouth, it was stated in the book that the name of the Witch shouldn't be said.”

“That’s great…” I can now calm down.

“Ester, I have to go. See you soon.” She waved at me and run towards to a Phix who’s carrying an empty basket.

“Young One, I'll be going too. I have so much to learn about this world and so that I can also teach the younger generation. See you soon.” I waved goodbye to Elder Goblin. His name is Bonnie, he introduce himself before.

Huh? Did Fairy say my name? Maybe I misheard.

I should go to the lady and check how the water system is.

The lady is near the river.

She waved at me and gesture to come near.

“How is it going?” I asked.

“So far, so good! I’m still amazed at how you can think of this idea. Instead of magic, we are using nature. At first, I’m confused about what Water System is but when you explained it to me, I didn't something like this could exist.”

I can feel her excitement. The lady is the kind of person who gets excited when she learns new things.

I'm glad I made her happy.

They don't know what the Water System is since they've been dependent on magic. Just a spell and they can easily produce water.

But, I don't want to depend on magic if I can just do natural ways to produce water. If I were they, I'll focus more on things that needed work than just a snap of a finger. What if magic suddenly disappeared? What will they do?

For now, we are done with the Water System. I already made the Treatment Plant and Storage Plant by magic, since we are not that advance in technology here…I have no choice but to use magic even though I just said that I'm not going to depend on it.

“We are done, Good work Lady.” I stretch my body.

What should I do next?

Right, I'm going to check on Ghost.

We are back at the construction site.

“Can you take care of things here, lady?”

“Of course, but where are you going?” she asked.

“I’m going to Rem and Rom's room. Gonna check–“

“Oh my!!” she shouted and covered her mouth.

“What's wrong?” I worriedly asked. What happened to her??

“Oh no…what to do? I have other things to do, I can't help you with your request.” Oh…she has other things to do, so I can't visit Rem, Rom, and Ghost.

Luckily, Fairy is approaching us.

“It's okay, I can ask Fairy to take care of things here. Do what you have to do.” I was about to call Fairy but Lady shouted again.

“Evangeline, aren't you going to spread some pixie dust in your home?!” I looked at Fairy and her face is confused.

Her eyes widen, “Oh right, I forgot to spread some pixie dust in my home to keep it from flying? Umm…G–goodbye Ester, see you.”

The pixie dust here in this world is used for potion it was written in Shoes' Book, I didn't know it was also used for the house.

“Evangeline is busy. Everyone is busy. I think you have to do the job on your own.” Lady said with a twisted smile. What's wrong with her?

“Hohoho, I'm not busy.” Elder Phix.

“Really?”

“H–Hoho, I-I just remembered that I am busy.” She then ran without using her cane.

“Hmm?”

I looked at the Lady and she is smiling widely.

“Everyone is busy, I should visit Ghost after I'm done with my work.”

“Yes.Yes. You should. I'll be going now. Goodbye.” She ran.

Why does everyone in haste?

A Goblin approach me and handed me an axe.

“Umm…why are you giving this to me?”

“I saw you just standing and not doing any work. Go and bang those trees!!” He shouted at me and his saliva showered.

“Eek!” why am I scared of a goblin?!

I just found myself cutting down the trees.

How did this happen??

Later.

“Change.” I handed the axe to another goblin.

After exhausting work, I can now rest.

“Umm…” Orange Fairy.

What does she want?

“I s-saw you just sitting around, can you not be lazy and help us?”

Huh?

Huh?

I wake up and found myself holding a grape hoe. How did this happen??

“Put your strength into it!” Pink Muscular Fairy shouted at me.

Huhuhuhu…I don't deserve this.
