*This is part of a series of erotic fantasy (genre) tales. It follows the members of Barrie Guild, who are contracted mainly for monster / bandit slaying but offer a wide range of services. If you all like it, I’ll write some more. Enjoy.*
Now that her secret was out, Aria had to get out of Yers. She had come to the small village to deal with a pest problem, sewer rats to be exact, and gain the meagre reward. The contract keeper at her guild had warned her that the small village was superstitious and forbade magic within its bounds. Although she typically used a little magic, she was no sorceress, and had figured she could handle the pests with just her sword and a trap. Plus she could really use the reward, work had been scarce lately.
Everything had gone well at first, she had no problems baiting the trap at the town center. Though she had warned the villagers to stay in, she could see cracked doors and windows where they peered out. Soon the rats had emerged from fields and holes, swarming the area. Aria had lit the oil she had coated the ground with. Squeaks of pain emitted from the writhing mass of fur. Aria walked the perimeter of the village center, using her sword to slash or stab any rats running from the pyre. Easy money she thought.
