Angel Monarch

The headquarters was close to Cassandra's mansion. At least that's what Sera believed it to be. A constant traffic went in and out of the entrance, most of them were officers carrying orders.

Looking around Sera realized how great walking next to Cassandra was. Nobody seemed to care about her presence at all, next to Cassandra she became invisible.

The people didn't just bow to her, most of them straight up knelt. Both Sera and David looked at this display with dissatisfaction. In their opinion authority and respect has to be earned, not given!

For now Cassandra haven't made a single attempt to seem like a competent commander, in fact she seemed to be very petulant.

Every time a person knelt for her, she glanced at Sera waiting to see her jealous, but she just walked on without acknowledging Cassandra. This act seemed to further annoy her.

"You know Sera, you could be a great ruler if you would just act a bit more light-hearted. You look beautiful, why don't you smile more?... I'm sure you would get more partners if you would have a better disposition!" She spoke with a small smile, next to her David had enough and was about to finally speak up, but with one hand Sera made him stop.

She stopped in the street and looked straight into Cassandra's breathtaking, pink eyes. Her smile widened a bit and turned into a small grin. The people around them seemed to tremble from the tension in the air.

"There seems to be a bit of miscommunication between us. I'm not one of your friends or lovers, I'm here to be part of a siege, which will lead us capturing one of the last cities in the south, that is still under the control of the United Front!" Sera stepped a bit closer to her, coming face to face.

She was a little bit taller, but for most she looked like a giant compared to Cassandra. Sera's aura was simply unmatchable by her.

"I don't give a fuck what little game you are playing, or if you think its fun to try and embarrass me, but I will tell you this one time... If you get in my fucking way, you will end up the same as all who came before you!" She was about to walk away leaving Cassandra speechless, but before that she spoke once more without looking back.

"Also, I'm not a ruler. I'm a leader!" Behind her Cassandra looked a bit angry, but she hid it well.

"What's the difference?" She asked. Sera just chuckled a bit and said, "A ruler leads because they want to, a leader rules because they have to... Not like you would know the difference. Must be great not fighting for anything!"

With that last sentence she walked off. David quickly followed her, not failing to give a disdainful look to Cassandra. She seemed to be really mad, the hatred was nearly dripping from her face.

With a huff she walked after them and soon the trio entered the headquarter building.

Since Sera had no idea where to go, she motioned for Cassandra to take the lead.

She walked off not entertaining Sera, which caused a small laugh to escape through David's lips. Cassandra seemed to be trying Sera's own tactic on her.

She lead them to a plain looking wooden door. They walked inside a room with a large conference table in the middle and little else for decorations. The table had six seats in total, one at the end of the table and the rest all around.

Three of the seats were already taken by the other leaders. One of them was a female, the other two male. They looked towards the door as Sera and the others stepped inside.

Non of them gave too much heed to any of them, which was at the same time surprising and understandable. Sera took the seat farthest from the head of the table, where Cassandra had sat.

Next to Sera sat the only other woman. She wore an intricate and immaculate black armor. Its color matched with her short hair and black eyes perfectly. She was also probably close to two meters tall, but Sera wasn't sure since she was currently sitting.

Her posture was also perfect, like a true noble woman. The thought seemed strange to Sera, but unconsciously she sat straighter as well.

On the other side of the table sat David. He was a bit uncomfortable because of the person next to him.

His hair was brown same as his eyes. His sight seemed to be jumping around the room, every now and then he mumbled something. Sera didn't understand what he was saying, but she knew he wasn't talking to anyone other than himself.

His hands were a bit wrinkly and fully covered in engine grease. His face had a few telltale black marks as well. He was definitely someone how built things rather than destroyed them... At least that's what Sera thought.

The last person was unlike the others. While the knight's posture was straight, and the tinkerer's crooked, the last man seemed way too comfortable. He was leaning back in his chair and had his legs propped up on the table's edge.

He had dark blue hair and similar eyes, with the only difference being the few white spots within. He was handsome and when Sera's eyes landed on him, he gave her a large grin and winked at her... She was already disliking him, and the others seemed to have the same opinion.

When everyone was seated, Cassandra began introducing everyone.

"As you have probably already guessed these two are Seraphine and David." Her voice sounded a bit hollow and it contained a hidden irritation.

Next to Sera the black knight turned towards them and made a small nod. She didn't seem to be the talkative kind, unlike the strange man next to David.

"Oh! I always wanted to meet you! I heard so much about your weapons and armor, can I take a look at them... NO! Not now! We have so much to speak beforehand, like the siege and bombs and destruction and mushrooms!... I hate mushrooms! I'm going to make them extinct!... YES! What a nice world it will be, free of sadness and tragedy... and mushrooms!"

The man continued to speak to himself, mostly about his hate of mushrooms. Sera and David looked at each other with raised eyebrows, Cassandra was shaking her head in dejection and the other man was laughing really hard.

"Damn... How are you even part of this army? Since when do we accept schizophrenic patients?... You would think that an army of thousands would have at least one person for a leader who isn't insane!" Said the blue haired man, still smiling at Sera.

Before anyone could say something else Cassandra continued with the introductions.

"These three aren't as well known as the two of you. The large armored woman is called Jill, Death Knight. This stupid bastard next to me is Dwight, Falling Star. And the insane person's name is Frank, Tinker Master." As she finished Frank's head snapped to Cassandra and he made an obvious proclamation.

"I think mushrooms should be destroyed!" Cassandra literally facepalmed, while Dwight just laughed.

"Man why are you hating mushrooms? You seem to be fucking high on them!" Even David had to giggle a bit after that remark, but seeing Sera's unamused face it instead turned into a cough.

"It's nice to meet all of you and hope we will have a successful and conflict free work experience. I think the first thing we should address is the sever lack of organization in this camp! Just by walking through it I saw many people idling, they act like the siege has been already won. Even worse the defense at the gates is miserable. Why aren't there an evolved stationed there?"

As she spoke Jill nodded next to her same as David. Frank was just looking around frantically, possibly looking for mushrooms. Cassandra's eyes narrowed, but before she could say anything Dwight spoke.

"I don't know who do you think you are, but this operation isn't lead by you! In reality you have the exact same authority as the rest of us, except Miss Succubus of course since she is the commander! If she thinks the camp's order is fine, then its fine!... How much I hate stuck up bitches..."

He said the last part in a whisper, but just loud enough for everyone to hear it. Sera looked at him with a bored expression and he just winked again. With a small shake of her head Sera sighed and tried to bring up another topic before they got to the main part of this get together.

"I think we should..." Before she could even get the sentence out, Dwight cut in.

"Nobody gives a fuck about what you think! Can't you just sit there silently like Jill, it would make everyone's life much easier!" Sera frowned a bit.

"You really like to hear yourself talk don't you?" Asked David, at which Dwight just laughed.

"Of course I like it, in fact I fucking love it! Isn't it sweet, its like honey dripping into my ear! Anyway, can't we get to the main part of this meeting? Or is that whore has something else to say?" Sera was opening her mouth to say something, but Dwight cut right in. "No? Good!"

At this point Sera had enough of playing nicely. If she was going to be surrounded with idiots, she would make sure non of their stupid decisions would lead to the death of all these soldiers, and there was only one foolproof way to achieve that... By taking leadership of course!

Slowly Sera stood up and walked to the chair where Dwight sat. He looked her up and down, his eyes lingering on her breasts.

"If you going to suck my dick, you should kneel, that way it will be much easier to..."

He couldn't say anything else as Sera grabbed onto his face. Behind her back two flaming wings appeared and her right hand which was holding onto Dwight's face, became engulfed in flames...

His screams echoed through the whole camp!
