This is a preview for a story up on my Patreon which is a part of the Sizeran world I am crafting.

              “Hey, Nora, can you come and help us out down here?”

              She turned her head. “Sorry, Orthis. I have some other matters to deal with right now.”

              The young lady emerged from the field.

“Please, this is serious. We need your help right away.” She reached out and grabbed Nora’s hand. “Come on.”

              Nora’s eyes widened. “What is going on?”

              “You have to see it. I couldn’t explain it to you if I tried.” Orthis shook her tan head. “I think even after I show you what is going on, you won’t understand.”

              Nora rolled her eyes. “Just tell me.”

              She dragged Nora through dense brush and into a part of the woodland that she hadn’t been to yet. “Here.” Orthis pointed at one of the Benthil cows from the northland, which were usually very large and brown. These specimens though were bright blue and purple. Nora’s eyes went wide. “What happened here?”

              Orthis shrugged her shoulders. “We don’t know. Yenthis set up this place so the cattle could rest and not eat the land that we were planning to use to grow cabbage this year. He came back and found them this way. But that isn’t even the crazy part.”

              Nora laughed. “Blue cows isn’t the crazy part?”

              Orthis walked over to the nearest bovine. “When we discovered them, we did some measurements. These things are much more massive than before.” She crossed her arms. “I don’t get it. Maybe the meat inside them compounded? Or something else, but we are sitting on top of a gold mine.” She turned her head and smiled at Nora. “Terrondale will be rich.”

              “I think we need more than beefy blue cows to be rich.”

              Orthis laughed. “Yes, but still. This is amazing, right.”
