Searching for a job to fill my empty pockets, i began the tedium of walking from town to villages, hoping my eyes doesn't scare people away. It is when i met a family of farmer who looked out of luck, exhausted and miserable. I introduced myself, asked if there was something i could do for them, turns out their home was invaded by an annoying species of bloodsuckers called Xiridan's pearl.


They had little to pay me with, but offered me a warm meal and a old trinket that could be worth a few coins. It won't feel my pockets but at least my stomach won't be empty tonight as i accepted the job. Luckily the grumpy smith i used to visit often to repair my clothes was nearby, told him to make me an apparel suited for the job. While there i also borrowed strong and flammable alcohol, and a desert tree sap to coat my sword.




More stuff to put on my tab as i headed towards the house, this armor makes me look weird and stupid but against Pearls it is the most effective. If they manage to climb on my body, they'll try to bury their tongue into my flesh and impale themselves. Their nest was just next of the house and i could see their xiridan horse being drained of its blood by the damn things.


Coating my blade in the sap, i light my blade on fire before soaking the nest of the strong alcohol, then with a swing of my blade their damn eggs popped left and right. Had to walk around the home to slice and crush every last one of them, not a hard job to do but for a farmer, they can easily swarm you. Their forked tongue prevents you from pulling them out until they are full, they run rather fast for a damn sphere with legs.

Fun fact, this art was a dream i had not too long ago, those weird bugs were sucking blood out of people, must be my mind reminding me of years ago when we had to deal with a bed bugs infestation.
