Night came, and they made it into the forest. They were forced to stop because monsters ranging from Awakened to Evolved roamed the forest. This group could handle an Evolved monster easily, but with the intelligence of an Evolved monster, they could have some tricks under their sleeves that would cause an inconvenience, so rather than take that risk, it was better to stay put.
The tents were set up, and a fire was made. Aren, along with everyone, sat around, eating, talking, and more.
Aren sat alone with Flo on his head, a steak on a small plastic plate in front of him. He was about to dig in before Kira walked to his side and sat down. She placed her head on his shoulder.
"How are you?" she asked.
"Pretty good, just imagining what waits for us in this city," Aren said.
"I see." She replied calmly, but then her hand moved like a snake attacking its prey as she snatched Flo from his head in an instant. Aren and Flo were shocked.
