Second chapter, made it long. I hope you like it. Review. Thank you.
I don't own anything in Overlord, but I do own this story.

Chapter 2
Lady Andromeda

"Your armor is ready." Gnarls voice cut through the over lady's day dream as she sat on her throne waiting for her armor. "it should fit just perfectly, Giblit is very good at what he does." Gnarl stated as he descended the stairs with his lady in tow. One could instantly tell that work had been done down in the armory.

It was hot and it smelled of that weird smell of hot metal. "Giblit wake up you fool, your mistress won't wait for ever for her armor." Gnarl gave a good kick to the head of the one names Giblit. Giblit startled out of his slumber shot up and gave a small squeak when he saw his lady's tall form in front of him. She didn't look mad, just amused.

"Mistress! For you" he said as he carried the armor to her. Surprisingly the armor was light but strong enough for fighting. Her feet and legs were covered just like any other lords were, only this time the top had a more feminine side to it.

It was smooth at the waist, no six pack detail needed to be made. The breasts were covered a well but it did not reach her shoulders, in fact her helmet, shoulder and arm were attached to each other. Over all she looked ready to fight and take over, the only thing missing was a weapon.

Speaking of which, Giblit ran to his mistress once more with metal gauntlets and a long sword. The sword was nicely crafted, not embellished or anything just a simple wooden handle covered in cloth with a long piece of metal that was sharp enough to cut through anything. Giblit received only a pat on the head from his mistress before she headed upstairs. Giblit gleamed and did a small twirled in joy for getting any attention form his lady.

"Let us do a practice run why don't we? This is the jester, he for sure could use a good knocking about he needs to understand who's boss." The sound of jingling bells and out of place laughter couth the mistresses attention.

"Lady of Nothing!" The weird jester creature laughed out.

"Nothing ever intelligent comes out of that one. Do try to ignore him, but for now lets have a good time." Gnarl stated absentmindedly. "Go ahead take a good wack at him my lady." And so she did. The jester flew up and then back down in an ark, to land on his head on the stone floor. The other minions pointed and laughed loving to see others in pain.

"Well done." came Gnarls voice from behind. "Hit sheep like that and you would have an army of minions in no time."

"Bringer of Hurt!" The jester cried out. "Lady of nothing!"

"Lets go and concur some land my lady. I'm sure by now you are dieing to try your weapons and minions out." Gnarl was existed that evil once again would rule,

"Andromeda. That's what I wish to be called."

"Of course Lady Andromeda. A fitting name for you, after all you would soon be the ruler of men." Gnarl chucked slightly. So that's what she was thinking about when she sat on her throne. Gnarl led her into a small pond in the front of the throne room.

"This is where you can also access the tower heart, now lets go to the closest village which is Spree." Gnarl and Andromeda disappeared from the tower to reappear near a meadow.

" Sadly this is as close as we can get to the town. My lady see over there. Those are sheep. They repopulate rather fast, so no need to worry about their small pathetic lives. Now attack the sheep and get some life force." and just like that Andromeda summoned some minions and attacked the sheep.

"Sheepees" was heard several times and then a lot of laughing and panicked baas. In no more than two minutes all the sheep were dead and the field was smeared with bloody foot prints and pools of blood.

"For mistress!" Andromeda looked down at her minions and found them holding light brown energy. It was then quickly picked up by her right arms glowing thing and then disappeared all together.

"Life force mistress. Many creatures in this world hold life force each color represents the color of the minions. Obviously these brown lights help you summon brown minions." Gnarl explained as he moved on towards Spree. The place was covered in trees, flowers with sinning birds. "Ugg, all this nasty goodness. It makes me sick." Gnarl spat at the ground in disgust. Spree was a small town, with wooden fences, mostly made up of farmers. As Andromeda neared the gates she saw a bunch of men with pointy…pitchforks.

"Ignore then my lady. Those men can't do much damage to you. You also have the minions on your side." By the time she reached the gates, the gates seemed to be lifted.

"I told you it wasn't a Halfling. Much to tall and way to much armor on."

"What do you want?" The other man asked as soon as the other one stopped talking. Something was wrong by the looks of it the town was on high alert. "are you with those dam Halflings?" Andromeda shook her head no. She had no clue was to what a Halfling was. "Prove it to us. The Halflings came here and raided all our food. If you get that back to us we'll let you in."

"It seems we don't have a choice in this matter. Now I'm going back to the tower to make sure things are getting done. Have a wonderful time chopping those Halflings up my lady." Gnarl excused him self and waddled away in a hurry.

Heading further down the trail of a dirt road that had wheat to one side and a moat to the other, Andromeda found a small band of short people walking her way. Where those Halflings? Was her only thought.

"Halfman!" Her minions chanted. This caught the attention of the…Halflings, they quickly lifted their weapons and charged. Andromeda froze what was she to do? Her minions sensing her uneasiness, attacked the approaching Halflings. Spears, clubs, blood and even at times a minion went flying before Andromeda caught on to what was happening and joined in the fight.

The first hit she landed chopped the head off of a Halfling. It was a weird feeling, feeling the sword lash through skin then tendons. At first she thought she could get the sword through the Halfling, but in the end it's spine gave out to the pressure and the force in which the sword had hit and snapped in two. The sword came slashing through the other side spraying blood everywhere.

Though she manage to only kill one, the minions had gotten the rest. Andromeda felt the trill of her first kill and just wanted more. If this is what it felt like to slaughter someone, she didn't mind at all.

'Well done mistress' the voice startled Andromeda, it was Gnarl. What was he doing in her head. 'don't look to alarmed, the tower heart lets me talk to you directly, I could also hear your ever dark thoughts so there is no need to speak out load at all.' Gnarl explained hoping to come the mistress down. Andromeda moved on, hoping this time not to freeze up in the beginning of battle.

'My lady, see those barrels right there. Sweep your minions there to break them. They always have stuff in them like weaponry for your minions.' Gnarl was overjoyed that his lady was doing great on her own.

As said Andromeda sweepped her minions over to the barrels and watch them break them once the barrels broke with a loud crack, she found weapons on the ground that minions picked up quickly in excitement. She headed further down the dry and dusty trail that the villagers called a road.

It was about a good thirty minute walk before she reached a house. She herself was way to big to enter it so she made the minion go in instead. Braking of dishes and toppling of chairs and other various furniture was herd before several sounds of "for the mistress" was herd. The minions came carrying out sacks of gold as if it were some offering to a god.

'Ah. Gold. This would help greatly. We could defiantly use the gold for supplies, plus every Over lady or lord would need to have money to show off. There bound to be more in other Halflings homes.' Gnarls voice was once again herd in Andromeda's head. Andromeda tracked further down the road. This time the road curved to the right as well as stopped down. At the bottom she could see more Halflings, they were guarding the entrance to there village. 'Go and concur my lady' was yelled into her head. When she got back she would kick Gnarl into oblivion for giving her a headache.

Quickly making her way down Adromeda made the minions attack first before engaging in battle herself. This time she didn't freeze up but gladly helped with the blood shed, surprisingly the gates to Halfling village was closed to her as well, but that didn't stop the minions from bashing at the door. Ok, so they can tare down gates too, this should make getting in easer. Boy was she wrong, as soon as the gated came down in a boom, they were bombarded with Halflings all holding different weapons. Spears, knives, swords and even small axes were swung around in hopes of defeating the intruder.

'My lady I think it's about time you learned to use that fire spell of yours.' Angered that she wasn't informed of this before Andromeda thrustted her left arm out to find a fire ball shooting from it and hitting one of the Halflings. A cry of pain was heard from him as he ran around hoping to douse the fire, in a few short seconds he was dead. Some minions screamed 'burn, burn" with delight while the others laughed but they all kept on fighting. After a few minutes of more fire balls and fighting the Halfling barrage died and silence greeted the young Over Lady.

Look around she found that her minions were in some wear. Several of them had torn ears, one was limping and another seemed to have lost an arm in the process. They probably healed. Looking about she found a small engraved stone that now shown with red color. Her right arm itched, looking down she found the center of the thing glowing.

'This is a portal gate My lady. Now that you have been here and activated it, you could come back here anytime you deem fit.' Gnarl explained. 'lets see if we could find that retched food that the Halflings took form the farmers in Spree.'

Walking about Andromeda found that there was only more little houses, though now ransacked and pillage for gold, she couldn't enter. A few yards away she spotted a large weal, next to it she found a door big enough for even her to enter it. Good, that means that the Halflings could get a rather large packaged of food in. Hoping for the best she made the minions turn the weal, she entered the large house.

Inside she found not just another gate but a minion pit. Summoning more minion she realized she could only summon fifteen at the moment. 'as you know tested you could only summon so many minions, later you might find several magical objects that could help you not only control more minions but also do more spells.' Lessons that could have been taught to her before she left the tower.

The sound of crashing of plates and cups on the floor. Looking up she found her minions pillaging and drinking in a small room. There were no Halflings in sight, but still the minions could at least be quite, either that they could at least stay by here side. Now how was she to call them back. Just ash Andromeda was thinking that her right arm hummed a low note. The minions stopped what they were doing and quickly ran to her. Now that was done Andromeda proceeded further into the domain of the Halflings.

--

Feeling angry was the understatement of the day. How many Halflings could one bloody fucking place hold? Was the only thing at the moment that Andromeda was worried about. Seven rooms she has gone through and each and ever room sure had gold in it but also ten to twenty half size men, that didn't seem to like the idea of guests in their home.

Was this even the last room. It sure felt like it, but of curse it led strait into another corridor that led into a room that had…a large bundle of food. Ok. So this was defiantly the last room, summoning her minions to her side once more she made several lift the large create of food so she could bring it back to Spree. That is if the farmers hadn't just arrived to take it.

"You found our food, thank you so much."

'You know you could kill these worthless sacks of meet and keep the food for yourself. I'm sure you could use it better than they can.' Gnarl stated something for the first time in two hours. Not wanting to fight anymore Andromeda let the farmers take the food back to Spree. 'oh well. Now you could enter Spree, but if you want to head home first that is fine.'

Andromeda headed to spree, the way back was faster than the way to bundle of food. At her arrival she received many cheers and thanks. Her minions not caring much for the applause rushed towards a table fill with cups of beer and drank their fill only to urinate all over the place several seconds later.

"Hello I'm Archy, I'm the mayor of this town and I personally would like to thank you for what you have done. This was our winter rations, without it we would have starved or died over the winter." The guy shook Andromeda's hand. "though I was skeptical at first when they came back saying a young lady with armor returned the food to Spree. But now that I meet you I sure am convinced. So who are you young miss?"

'Bah, foolish man. Good words and a friendly hand shake is no reward for you mistress.' Gnarl chimed in.

"I am Lady Andromeda, fourth in line for the throne of Overlord."

"Quite the fancy title you go there miss." Archy whistled in shock.

"Mistess!" several of Andromeda's minions shouted in glee.

"So these rambunctious monsters are yours. That explains how you could go through the Halfling home when we couldn't. So Andromeda…"

"Lady Andromeda, or Mistress would do." Andromeda cut in. If she was going to rule the world, why no have people respecter.

"Yes, Lady Andromeda. What land do you rule over exactly that give you that title?"

'See, I told you my lady. These worthless sacks of meet are rather stupid.' Gnarl chuckled out.

"Over the land of Spree currently. But soon to be more."

"I never had no ruling foke here, not that I heard of you. But I guess we farmers should just go to our crops and pay our taxes. Then again I never heard royals lying either. So what can I do for my lady?"

'he could start by paying us some taxes. See if the have a crane available. We going to need that if we are going to fix the roof and the second floor.'

"You have a crane here?" Archy nodded. "I'm going to need to use it for a while."

"No problem, we haven't the need for one, so take it. It's over there." He pointed out. Calling her minions over Andromeda sent several of them towards the crane.

"Bring that to the tower and stay there, I don't need you here anymore. The rest go home as well." With the devotion of god knows what the minions scurried off quickly to please there mistress. Turning from the "stupid meat sack" called Archy Andromeda took herself to a gate she teleported back to the tower.

Arriving in a puff of black smoke, she found the castle look more like a construction site. Not only was the crane already there it was already being used to life stones that where cut to replace the non existing or crumbling ones. Scaffolds were put up along the roof and sever parts of the walls.

The throne it self was actually now repaired. Three layers of spikes, baggiest one being in back, adorned the side. The top had spike on each side with an odd design in the middle of it. The throne was dusted now shined. Not only that but a big red pillow was put down so she could sit comfortably on her throne for a long while.

It was a long chapter. Review. Thank you.
