Early in the morning, Sylutia woke up.
Perhaps because she had only just arrived in a new place and hadn't yet gotten used to the unfamiliar surroundings, she had slept lightly. She didn't linger in bed, waking not long after dawn.
Sitting before the simple dressing mirror, she smoothed out the strands of hair that had been bent out of shape in her sleep. Then she got up and rummaged through her luggage for one of the white cloth dresses she had worn earlier.
When she went downstairs, the large grey draft horse was still lying on its knees, resting, with two foals nestled beside it.
Hearing the noise, the draft horse opened its eyes. Seeing the slender girl in front of it, it slowly pushed itself up on all four legs, then shook its head. Its thick mane whipped through the air with a whoosh before it snorted, blowing a hot, heavy breath over the girl.

According to the Patrol Cavalry, this draft horse had a gentle temperament and was easy to tame. All she had to do was give it enough hay and clean water every day.
First, she carried over several blocks of hay and put them in the manger, then headed to the well.
Besides the traditional method of hauling up water with a bucket, this well could also be worked using the lever beside it. Pushing the lever operated a pump that forced water out.
Once the water surfaced, it flowed into a large basin below, with two more basins stacked above it, like a tiered fountain.
The first basin filled up with water. "Shadow-Reducing Powder" was added there to condense and settle the faint "Distortion" Aspect Power
