Ayero sighed softly as she leaned against the farmer’s porch, staring down into the cup of steaming tea the man’s wife had given her. In the process of attempting to grow large amounts of crops to feed all of the displaced families, farmers across the country were doing their best to produce as much food as possible. The Boufer Cows introduced by Lagi had become indispensable in crop production, allowing soil to become very fertile and increase the amount of crop grown. Unfortuantely, some of the farmers on the outskirts of Remano were having trouble with their stock of Boufer Cows. Maybe it was nature, or maybe the chaos Reim had recently been in had upset things, but Rabid Coyotes were preying on the Boufer Cows.
The area farmers had tried to take care of them on their own, but the beasts were no ordinary coyotes. Fences proved to be useless as the creatures had the ability to burrow underground, and the tended not to scatter when confronted by people, or so she had been told. The farmer Ayero had agreed to help had sustained a rather nasty bite from one of the coyotes. The man had been alright in the end but spent a few days recovering from the venomous bite to his leg, citing it as rather unpleasant.
Ayero had fought numerous wild creatures before and had learned to be cautious around them until she learned the extent of their abilities, something she had learned through making numerous painful mistakes. Luckily the farmer seemed to know a fair bit about the Rabid Coyotes, relaying what he could remember to the woman before she left to patrol his fields. The farmer’s wife had worried over the girl, not wanting anyone else to be hurt by those awful night creatures. Even though Ayero had assured them that she would be able to handle the problem, the matronly woman had given her a blanket and a cup of tea as the Fanalis rested on their porch.
Setting the now empty cup down, Ayero shivered and pulled the blanket taut around her shoulders as a chill breezed through the air. She was grateful for their kindness, finding that she needed it after experiencing such chaos and turmoil from the war. She tried to relax for a few days after the final battle but found herself restless and dissatisfied. Throwing herself into rebuilding efforts seemed to help ease her anxiety, the long days of odd jobs giving her some time to think about where she should go from here.
Removing the blanket from her body, Ayero folded it neatly and left it on the porch next to the cup before standing and stretching. She was no stranger to this situation, recalling the time in Heliohapt where she had done a similar service to a farmer who was having trouble with pesky desert beasts. Hopefully she would encounter these creatures on the first night and take them out with ease, but she had to keep in mind that things weren’t always so simple.
