After a few hours of flying she noticed the village she was meant to be going to, to help them with their vegetable problem, it still baffled her on what sort of issued plants could cause but if it had ended up on a guild job board she guessed there was a supernatural or magical power behind it. When she got around a mile away she started to float down to the ground deciding it would be better if she walked in rather than fly in and cause who knows what panic. Once she had landed she began to fix herself while her wings faded back into her back, when ready and composed she moved towards the village taking note of how the area was slowly changing from lush green vegetation and trees to being sickly, it made the teen stop in her tracks and move to a nearby tree touching it carefully a saddened look on her face "You're sick... I'll do my best to help, I promise" she whispered wincing as a thorn pricked her skin unexpectedly.
She sucked on the side of her hand after taking the thorn out to help the bleeding stop and the wound heal quicker 'I really do hate it when people play around with nature and elements they have no right meddling in' she said angrily to herself placing her hand to her side moving at double pace towards the village, her eyes scouring the place 'Why would anyone do such horrible things? Where are the villagers?' she continued walking around cautiously not knowing exactly what to expect from anything around the place "Hello, is anyone around?" she called out heading towards a house, she was hoping to gain a bit more information before going to where the problem was. To her knowing when it started and what was going on for the week leading up could prove vital information for how to handle the task. It was then she heard a cough coming from one of the houses and made a b-line for it knocking on the door "Excuse me, I know you're in there and I realise you're scared." she called through the rotting wooden door. "My name is Sophitia Clearblade, I'm a mage from the guild Golden Phoenix and I came to help with your vegetable problems" she said stepping back as the door creaked open. She didn't know what the person behind the door looked like she was just glad they decided to open the door and talk.
"Thank the gods someone heard our plea" an elderly woman's voice said covering her mouth as she coughed again. "I would like a little information before I get started so I can handle this efficiently, if you can help me with this I would be very grateful" he she said with a kind and warm tone, the woman nodded "Anything child, anything that will help life the curse from this place before it kills the little that remain" her voice showed great sorrow which only made her glad that she had agreed to do the task that Katie had picked out for her "When did the sickness of the land start?" she asked the woman her eyes going to her leg as she seen a secondary light, a small child though even their aura was dimmer than what it should be 'Everyone is suffering, this isn't right' she thought to herself coming out of her mind as the elder of the village spoke "The harvest moon, the moon had a strange purple glow we thought of it as an ill omen and done our best to combat it, but within a week everything was ruined so many left calling the land cursed we few who remained put our jewel together and placed a job request for help in this." she said coughing once more it was clear to the teen she was becoming increasingly sick due to the lack of food most likely giving up her own share so her grandchild could eat properly.
"Where are the fields elder? I will get this sorted before the sun rises, I swear this on the light itself" she said her voice filled with determination. "A round thirty meters to the north, don't worry you won't be able to miss it" she wheezed before being brought back in by the child the door closing. Clearblade didn't mind this at all given that the woman was so weak, tired and sick and she had given her more than enough information to get the task done. "I gave my word and now I must honour it." she said her eyes going to the now setting sun "I believe I have around ten hours to get this done" she said to herself unsure if she would be able to take down all issues within the time limit but she was sure as hell going to try.
