It was a fresh morning in the town of Magnolia as the sun gleefully rejoiced it's reign over the people and spread it's warmth for everyone to receive. The winds were gentle and the streets, like every other day, were filled with the loud chatter and hustling footsteps of citizens who moved about from morning to evening, enjoying their lives and their livelihood to the fullest. This town was indeed very cheerful and vivid, never displaying disdain and anger. Xandra strode through the streets, often shifting her body to avoid collision into people that ran about from one place to another, occasionally glancing at the address that adorned the plain empty paper in her hand and wondering if she was headed the right way. She had been in the town for a few days now, helping around and meeting people, which was a first for her, but then returned to helping out with small jobs around the town. It seemed as if someone had heard of her as she received a notice from the Magnolia Bathhouse, asking to help out as it was deemed an emergency. Hence, she was on her way to her destination.

Arriving at the place which is famous throughout the town, she let her eyes inspect the area which was strangely calming. The building appeared to be a little old but beautiful nonetheless. She walked inside, instantly being hit with the floral scent of lavender which suddenly sent a rush of calm through her body. Her lilac eyes looked around, landing upon nothing but an empty desk. It was then that there was a small tap on her shoulder. Rotating her body completely to take a look behind her, she let her eyes fall upon a beautiful woman who stood there with confidence radiating from her. Her shoulder-length blonde hair shined underneath the dimly lit white light that assisted the sun in illuminating the vicinity. "You're late young lady.", the woman spoke with a stern voice. That was a surprise. Confusion seeped into Xandra's body as she was told the owner of the bathhouse, her client, was an old lady but she saw no elderly woman anywhere. She turned her head to the side, inspecting the area once again only to conclude that she was indeed the 'young lady' who happened to be late.

Before she knew it, a bunch of flyers were rather roughly handed to her, which she instinctively caught else the papers would be lying on the ground. Lifting her gaze from the flyers to the woman, she stared with her blank expressionless face, wanting to know what this was for. But before she could ask, luckily, she was being told what she had to do, 'You are to pass out all these flyers to people." The woman started pacing around the room, slowly and continued, "You have to go to the South Gate Park, Olly's cake shop and Fairy Tail's guild hall and hang these there so that they are seen. My business is going to be shoved under a rock if I don't do something so you, young lady, have to do whatever you can to advertise." With a deep breath, she stopped. The mage stared at the woman in surprise, taking in all the information. So advertising happened to be this important task that she was called for. The woman looked at Xandra with a questioning look, "Well, go on. Start working."

With a small sigh, Xandra arranged the flyers in her hand and began to head out. She wasn't good at speaking, so how was she supposed to advertise? Another defeated sigh escaped her as she scratched the back of her neck. It was better to get started sooner than later and so, she walked over to the streets and began handing out flyers like she had seen people do around the town. Taking one flyer in her hand, she trusted it in front of the first passing person she saw and stared at them until they accepted it. She was sure that she probably weirded a few bypassers but as long as the job was begin done, she didn't care. She continued this for an hour or so, watching the flyers reduce to half the size of the pile and a satisfaction that took over didn't appear on her face. It was now time for her to leave for the destinations, which were quite common and so, she managed not to get lost. Strolling towards the south gate park first, she walked in the midst of playing children and running animals, strolling past the older and younger couples that sat on benches, enjoying their afternoon. Walking over to the giant bulletin board that was covered in papers, she took a few of the advertising pieces of papers and stuck them over others of the same kind, making sure to have the bathhouse's papers right on top, where everyone could see it.

Once she was done putting up at least five to seven flyers on the board, she picked up the now smaller stack of papers and moved towards her next destination, Fairy tail's guild hall as it happened to be closer. It took her about three minutes of jogging to reach there. Poking her head through the doors of the guild, she heard endless screams and loud laughter. Fortunately, she entered, going unnoticed by most mages in the guild and hurriedly walked over to the guild's request board which too was filled with calls of help from people and stuck a few of the flyers there, avoiding any coverage of requests. It took her mere moments to be done with that and she left as quietly as she had entered. Now, onto her last destination for the night. It took her about ten minutes to reach the cake shop where she had helped out a few days ago. Entering the shop, she was once again hit with the sweet scent of desserts. The room was bustling with customers who came to enjoy Olly's delicious cakes and cupcakes that she herself could guarantee were amazing.

A familiar face of Dan, the cashier, came into view. He smiled as he saw her, which she replied with a small nod of acknowledgement before handing him about four flyers. He immediately seemed to understand what she was here to do and guided her towards the board and other places where she could put up those flyers. Thanks to Dan's help, not only did she manage to put up the flyers in a visible place but also quickly grabbed a cupcake which she devoured within seconds. She only had a few, less than ten flyers now. As she left the shop, the afternoon sun was sinking into evening. Quickly handing out whatever remained of the flyers to the customers that entered and exited the cake shop, she finally became empty handed.

Wiping off her sweat, Xandra returned to the bathhouse where the blonde woman awaited her arrival. Once she saw her empty hands, a happy and warm smile crawled up her lips, "I see you distributed all the flyers. Good work." Handing the mage her reward, the woman looked at her, 'I've also prepared a special bath for you. You did a great job and I think you deserve it." Happiness seeped through the young lady as she was guided towards the bath. Stripping her clothes off, she wrapped herself in a towel before entering the area. The baths were even more beautiful with stones logging the water and small vegetation adorning the place. Letting the towel fall off her body, she stepped into the water, instantly feeling relaxed. This was truly a wonderful reward for a day's work, she thought. She could feel energy enter her body as she leaned her head back and let her body rest in the warm and wonderful water.
