Rhea circled the caravan, her senses on high alert despite her fatigue. She could feel the cool night air against her skin. With each lap around the caravan, she listened intently for any sign of trouble, her eyes scanning every shadow and alleyway. Hours passed, and the repetitive nature of her patrol made her mind wander. She thought back to her recent battles, the adrenaline of facing down monsters, and the satisfaction of honing her skills. Guarding a caravan seemed mundane in comparison, but it was a task that needed doing. At some point in the night, a strange noise caught her attention. It came from the caravan parked beside the one she was guarding. Rhea approached cautiously, her muscles tensed for action. It could have been someone plotting to take the caravan, a monster, or anyone else. She peered inside, ready for anything.

Eventually, the first light of dawn began to creep over the city. The sky lightened from deep blue to soft pink. Nothing had happened tonight, Augustus had been worried for no reason. Rhea didn't much mind anyway, she was too tired to face off with anyone. The rumors of thieves were just that... rumors. As the sun began to fully light the city, one of Augustus' mercenaries approached Rhea. He looked well-rested, as opposed to her who clearly looked drained. With a nod of appreciation, he handed her a small pouch as a reward for her efforts. The Dragon Slayer walked away from the caravan, her steps a bit slower as she dragged her feet back home. Another task completed, another day ahead. She looked forward to some well-deserved shower, some food, and some rest.
