A more industrialized place with far less crop and farmland, or at least that was what they seemed to be saying about it all. With a nod, the next wave of carts rolled in and her group loaded themselves onto it, only for herself to be left behind. Without the desire to really squeeze on the overpacked cart with them, she decided to wait for the next one. After all, they were going to the same place.

It wasn't long until she caught the attention of another woman who seemed to have been appointed the same position of protection. With a bit of introduction and explanation of her simple armor she would explain that she was put in charge of her unit for the same reasons; to keep them safe. But having done so, so many times before, they had gotten used to seeing her around. With the short introductions, they loaded themselves onto the next cart and went on their way.

At least not at their current state. They might be able to fortify themselves or get something to minimize the damage done to them, but in the end, they just had to survive. That was all any of them had to do at the end of the day. They just had to survive to the next day. That was their life mission, it was any one's life mission. To make it to the next. If you died today, you don't have tomorrow to make it up. And some of them seemed to cherish every moment, taking in these small joys as if it would be there last. When very damn well it could be.

Deep breath in. Slow exhale. This desolate town was just one of many on today's trip. All of it was for the good of the world. Small seeds planted in the hearts of nobodies. She could never commit all of their names to memory, but they would remember her. She at least would rise above the rest. She would be one to stand out from the masses. She was sure of it. They were nobodies, but she, Psykhe, she would become somebody. Among all of these background characters, she would rise above them all and become something far more.

Perhaps it was how different she was to them, or perhaps the fact alone that she was an outsider. It didn't matter if it was a dragon or some beast creature name Ragnar. What matted was the effort they put in today, and the lives that they helped in making better. All of the people who lost their families, they could at least still have a home. And those that were lucky to have only lost their homes, well, now they would return to their normal lives.

Hopefully, the next town would yield someone or something of interest, but with each passing moment, she found it more and more unlikely. Everywhere she went it felt like they were devoid of culture or free thought. As if not a single soul had considered life beyond their strange little farmland. She wanted to ask, but even she understood it was going to be a waste of time

She imagined a few of them to be bakers or some sort of blacksmith who made tools for the other tradesmen. It would certainly seem like a community that relied on itself, and it would bring no surprise that armories out here would be more fitted for their customers who would far less often take to war and battles to display power, but to tend to jobs and other things that paid rather well, or offered a sort of service.

Like war, battles would be fought, people would die, cities fall, and they get rebuilt and it all starts over again. That was just how the world was. How long would it be until their queen is assassinated and another noble tries and takes her place? Who was to say it hadn't already happened and all of their support for her was misplaced as someone else puppeted her words?

She would have no reason to visit if it wasn't for some job that was paying. It wasn't like it was a tourist destination, but perhaps in helping out, in the small chance she retired out here, maybe she would have people who would have her back. Would she have that sense of community? Would she have people willing to lend a hand because she asked them to? Would they spare their wealth to help her back on her feet like they did for each other?

There was also the idea of perhaps just owning the land and having farmers tend to it for her, but was that any different than a small private mansion and her select servants to tend to her needs? There certainly was a lot to consider and think about. It would be something she would have plenty of time to do so. Perhaps years before a choice would have to be made.

Maybe it would be so small or perhaps more than enough to get what she wants. Perhaps the payment in the land itself, or a position of rank along her side.
The idea of being appointed royalty could be a fun one, only to take the crown herself. The crown would command respect, but with it, would remove the very pleasures she can take up as a common person. It was a balance she would try to take for herself. A balance she would struggle to discover.

She was curious to know what would happen, but like before it was rather impossible given her skill set to see the future, for now all she could do was guess and speculate. For now, that was all she was able to do. But with the next town arriving, she was expecting another repeating routine.
Arrive, destroy, build, and leave. It was something she was learning to accept in the last few hours of her life, and one that would oddly be pleasing to be correct about. She looked up, and forward to see the larger city they were on their way to. With their destination in their sights, she wanted more from her duty, but strangely was still satisfied.

She certainly didn't come out here to learn how to properly learn how to cut and sand wood. The sound of the dirt and rocks under her began to shift as they moved to cobblestone roads. The rough and messy pavement of these back road towns. It was where they needed to be. She cursed silently not having a magic to make this all super easy, or well any caster that could. She started to wonder what sort of spells would greatly assist in both rebuildings, as well as combat. A sort of force magic or telekinetic magic seemed the most versatile, but any Maker-Mage whose creations could long last after their caster left seemed to be just as important. But those were just ideas, and not all of them were going to help get the job done.
Most of them would only get in the way of it all, and most would just burden her with stupid things to blurt out in front of them causing a weird strain.

She could have attempted to brew some sort of stamina potion to increase everyone's endurance, but even something like that was out of her skill set. All she could do was listen, and learn and use what she knew. She might have been stronger than everyone, if not most of the people there/ if there was danger, she would stop it. And in a weird way, she hoped there would be, as if she could showcase that she wasn't a total fuck up in regards of what they actually came there to do.

But were they that? Could she even call them that? They had known each other such a short time, but it was easier to get work done with people she kinda knew, over people she did not know at all. That was what the saying was right? The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. Or, in the case of them, the daemon you know, is more helpful than the one you don't. But she tried to think less on it. Getting onto the scaffolding with the others, she brought up her tools, thinking she would need them, only to set them aside for others to use. It wasnt like it was hers to begin with.

Whatever the store used to have before, this new roof was definitely an upgrade. But as she stood there, she looked within, trying to see what the shop had to offer. It seemed to be just a normal clothing store of sorts, maybe a tailor of some kind. There wasn't that many things that stood out besides the interesting fabrics. Though it did cross her mind of exploring new materials among her collection. but was getting something that felt nice better than something that just looked better?

Psy continued with her work till it was finally time to sleep. The way back to Fiore was going to be a long one so she wished to get her rest. There were many things to do before going back as she had to pack up food, drinks, and the rest of the necessities all living beings needed. She found the most comfortable roof possible before falling asleep feeling the wind against her body. The chill felt almost unbearable, but due to the villagers giving her a blanket made of bear fur she can rest easily. Her eyes closed as she let the wind take her till the next time she woke up.
