And so, she was back again at the farmlands due to the request that has been made by Farmer Jim, under the blistering heat of the empty fields that had her sweating bullets. Heat licked at her sunburned faces and coiled around her limbs like a great hot-blooded serpent. The ground smouldered and sent up a disorientating haze, even the birds were silent and the grass stood still as if they were too hot to move. Despite how she had grown slightly more accustomed to the temperatures due to the metallic features of her body, the remaining human parts were still hated the heat, which was why was reluctant to leave her room for the quest.
”Ugh. I wish Farmer Jim wouldn’t demand to see me in this heat.”
Dirt and small pebbles that were scattered on the ground collected around her feet as her heels kicked up puffs of dust in the air. Waving her hand back and forth beside her face, she attempted to cool down the heat that was rising upon her cheeks with her hands, but all in vain. Her feet was heavy as she dragged them against the hard ground and the heat that blared down upon the land was causing her to become exhausted, more to be asleep. Meanwhile, Vysella, her companion appeared to be struggling with the harsh weather as well, seeing how she had been dragging herself their entire way to the farmlands. Snowflake had been too bothered by the heat herself that she had almost forgotten that she had brought Vysella along.
”Oh, poor girl. Come here.”
The soft fur of the little fox brushed against her arms as Snowflake picked her up and felt that her body might be perhaps too warm for the creature. With the thick fur on top of its body, Vysella must have been burning hot, she thought. Her fellow companion originated from the colder regions where summer was not even half as hot as how it is in the country and thus, Vysella still had not adapted to such high temperatures. Heck, even Snowflake was not acquainted with the heat herself. At this moment, a swim in the pool or perhaps a long strode by the sea shore would be extremely rewarding for her.
In her hand, the paper request would fold and crinkle, the words now a jumble of objectives that she stapled into her prior. The reason she had travelled to the farmlands was because of the information that a white wolf has been stealing sheep from the farm and Farmer Jim, who she is acquainted with, is not able to deal with his sheep being taken anymore and wants him dead. However, considering old Jim’s age and his unhealthy body, he has hired her to do the dirty work for him, which of course, she wouldn’t have minded if it was not for this horrible weather. Mayhap, she might just stay home and hole out herself in her room the entire season.
