( A/n: The first few chapters will be of Merletta's life in Monstruon before meeting Nimona. She has the appearance and mental age of a four year old in the first part of this chapter. There are some references, but I ain't saying what they are. )

Merletta was currently sitting in a cart, she was wearing a plain white dress and a hood over her head, while a group of five Monstruon knights were talking to each other, as they were just ordered to watch over the girl that was created by magic by the daughter of Queen Feara a week ago. The group was made up of a goblin woman, a half orc man, a tiefling woman, a shirtless minotaur man, and a tall half giant woman, Merletta looked at them and remembered their names, the goblin was " Beth ", the half orc was " Edmund ", the tiefling was " Eleanor ", the minotaur was " Khabus ", and the half giant is " Amice ".

Beth: ( to the group, whispers, thinking Merletta can't hear her: ) Are we sure that she said that she had assigned us to watch Queen Feara's creation?

Edmund: She pointed at us, I think that makes it clear that she assigned us, Beth.

Beth: But, we don't have any experiences of taking care of kids, especially magic ones. She doesn't even know how to say words by herself, she just repeats whatever she hears!!

Eleanor: Oh, relax, Beth. I'm sure she's just like any normal kid-

Khabus: You do realize that child will outlive us all and will still look like a kid, right?

Eleanor: My point still stands. You guys are just being paranoid. I'm going to spend a little time with Merletta.

Eleanor then walked to Merletta with a smile.

Eleanor: ( to Merletta: ) I just want to, um... I want to teach you some sayings. How long can you repeat things?

Merletta: Repeat things.

Eleanor: I'm going to take that as a long time.

Merletta: ( nods her head ) long time.

Eleanor: Okay, good. Okay, I'm going to tell you if someone asks what your name is, you say, " I am Merletta "

Merletta: I am Merletta.

Eleanor: ( to her group, excitedly: ) See, look at this, this is great! ( To Merletta: ) Okay, and then if they go, " Are you nice?" You say, " Yes, I'm very sweet. "

Merletta: ( with a cute smile: ) Yes, I'm very sweet.

Eleanor: ( giggles ) ( to Merletta: ) And, um, if they say something you don't like, you say, " Go fuck yourself! "

Edmund stiffened a laugh in the background.

Merletta: Go fuck yourself!

Eleanor: ( proudly: ) Yes.

Edmund: ( laughing ) Oh my royals, I can't believe you are teaching her how to curse.

Beth: She was going to learn swears eventually.

Merletta: ( says in a orc-ish accent, in a whisper: ) This means we are friends.

Edmund stiffened a little with a shock expression.

Beth: She can do accents, Wow... Why that was a orc-ish accent, Ed-
