Angel Monarch

Sera woke up feeling confused.

'Where am I? Why am I in a tree? Where are my clothes?!'

It took her a couple of seconds to remember.

'Huh... Guess I survived. Didn't expected that to be honest.'

She made a sigh of relief and climbed out of her hiding place. There wasn't much space in the tree, and the constant action through the past day really made her muscles sore, so she decided to start the day with some stretches.

It was lucky that no one was around, the stretches really accentuated her delightful curves. If anyone saw her, they would've fainted on the spot. Her beauty was really unparalleled, if you could ignore the dirt and blood covering every naked inch of her.

Sera was average at best when she was just a regular human, but the Evolution truly made her bewitching. Of course she had no idea about any of this. Last time she saw her face, was when she went to school for the last time.

"Ahh. This feels amazing." She said while finishing one final stretch.

With her muscles working properly, she finally summoned the Fiendish Garb to cover her sinful body. The clothing weaved itself into existence and her first thought was: "I guess its better than nothing."

The garb was made of two main pieces. The first was a tunic that left her shoulders and some of her back exposed, while not even reaching her navel in the front, it was actually closer to a bra than anything else. The second was a short skirt that went down to her midthigh. Both clothing had colorful weavings on them.

It also gave a pair of slippers, which Sera immediately discarded because they could fall off too easily.

"Well, at least they are self cleaning, that has to account for something."

All items could clean and even repair themselves when dismissed if they aren't completely destroyed. At least that's what the Watch said when she asked. The only issue was that keeping items summoned was a constant drain on her Essence, same goes for her wings and other abilities. Only passives don't require Essence, that's why she was so surprised to get two of them, they were pretty rare.

'I will figure it out, it's not that big of a drain to cause problems anyway. Just going to be a bit inconvenient to go nude periodically. But its not like I have to hide my body from anyone.'

That thought made her kind of sad. She was alone in the middle of nowhere. The closest civilization was nearly 300 kilometers away. But she didn't let herself drown in self pity, instead she asked her Watch for the direction of the road and began walking.

She judged flying too dangerous in the day but this area of the forest seemed kind of abandoned. Even with her enhanced hearing, she perceived no sound other than her own.

'It must be the Weaver and those Fiends of 'hers'. They probably control this part of the forest, and kill or capture anything that wanders in.'

Thankfully she didn't have to worry about getting put under that hateful spell of hers. Her new clothes prevented that.

Sera was moving through the forest as silently as possible and after about an hour she reached the road again and opened her map.

"Okay so, I am just before the first crossroad, I have to go right and then left and follow that until I reach Havel. Seems easy enough. Wait, didn't I say that last time before everything went to shit?"

While thinking about how many times did she jinx herself in the past couple of weeks, she arrived at the crossroad and went right, just as planned. Suddenly remembering the dream she began walking faster and faster until she was running. She arrived at the next crossroad in half an hour or so.

'Thank god, they're different!"

Feeling a bit fatigued she walked into the forest, and climbed a tree near the road to take a break. She was starting to get hungry already, not even talking about the thirst.

'I have to hunt something soon or I will die from dehydration in the next couple of days. A regular human can only survive for about 2-3 days without water, wonder how long an Evolved can survive.'

It was already past noon, when she started walking again. But she didn't went onto the road.

'Why is this road so much bigger than the others? Was this made for those flying machines, people used before the apocalypse? Speaking of flying, I'm probably out of the territory of the Weaver already, so I could try and brave the skies again.'

Just as she thought of that, she saw a winged, four legged, eagle headed beast fly on the horizon in her direction. Sera jumped behind the first tree she saw and made herself as small as possible. Looking out from behind the tree she started scanning the bird-like monster.

"Scanning complete... Classification: Horror of the 1st Tier... Name: Castiel's Pet... Suggestion: Avoid at all cost..."

'Castiel's Pet? That's a weird fucking name, who is this Castiel that he has a 1st Tier Horror as a pet? Huhh... It doesn't matter...'

Sera looked towards the flying beast once more than turned and went deeper in the forest.

'So flying is not an option. GREAT! At least I might be able to hunt some food and disgusting blood.'

Sera walked for over an hour before, hearing something moving through the undergrowth. It didn't sound too big, but also not really small. And by the amount of sounds it was making, it wasn't afraid to fight for its life.

Slowly approaching the direction of the sounds, she finally saw the creature.

'What the fuck am I looking at?'

There moving in between the trees was a moose. But not the kind Sera learned about in school. No, this one had antlers with thorns growing out of it, teeth that could break bone with ease, and two arms grew out of the section above its front legs, both ending in wicked scythes. The creature looked terrifying to say the least. But Sera's mind already drifted to somewhere else.

'Wonder how will its meet taste!'
