Apparently, it was too cold to 'farm', however. Yet, this inspired an idea in Agi's mind. In the weeks leading up to The Longest Night, he worked with some of the villagers to inspect some land adjacent to the village.<br/><br/>With his guidance and their tools and opposable thumbs, an area is laid out. It's mostly flat land, with good soil. The villagers who came with Agi to the spring learn that it had been his presence that gradually warmed the lands; and to help them with this 'farming' thing, he was prepared to replicate the feat for the humans.<br/><br/>In accordance with his vision, they marked out the land to be their farm. The four corners of the farmland had human-tall stone pillars placed there. With the land slowly thawing out with gentle applications of heat magic, some of the more industrious villagers even set about with modest efforts to shape the land and prepare it for eventually being tilled. A stone mason by trade, decides to get fancy with the stone pillars, and chisels some fine artwork into them. Agi feels that the village coming together like this is a good thing, and his supervision helps shoo away smaller misfortunes.<br/><br/>But, such a project will take time...<br/><hr/><br/>Though Agi had made sure to spend plenty of time with Blossoms, the urge to change the world burned brightly within his body. The swell of power they felt on this night; his desire to help the humans, as well as the animals. He knows what he must do, knows what he can accomplish on this single night, and sets about his task with gusto.<br/><br/>Finding the center of the farm, he focuses; digs deeply into his inner fire. A wave of intense, yet controlled, heat flashes out of him in a burst of red-yellow-orange lights. In minutes, he replicates what had taken him many moons to do in the Prismatic Springs; the area warms up considerably, like a modestly warm, mid-summer day. No matter how cold or dark it gets, from now on, this place is like a greenhouse; it will always be warm and good for growing crops.<br/><br/>In the burst of power that came from him, the four pillars acquire a fire atop each--burning like a giant candle, but consuming no visible fuel. Some of this heat wave actually bleeds out over the markers, and will help keep the village a bit warmer--even in the time of ice and snow, the village, at least, will feel more like a pleasantly cool Autumn.<br/><br/>A dozen small embers flare to life, and separate from him, yet he does not actually lose any mass. These house-cat sized spirits do not have too much of Agi's power, or even his intellect or other traits; but they do have their cat-like tendencies and they are born of Agi's Will. In the coming days, they will patrol the farm and chase away vermin and insects, to help keep the food safe for humans. In time, the humans will come to adore the smol soft warm fuzzy cat spirits, believing (truthfully or not) that petting them will give them good luck!<br/><br/>This hardest of labors completed, he curls up in the center of the fields, and naps. It will take some time for the farm to bear fruit, but every few days, Agi comes around to check in on things and help out. In time, this farm will bear many crops for the humans--berries, apples, bananas, coconuts; even some vanilla beans. A section is set aside for growing herbs--both for medicine and for spicing their foods. Potatoes, carrots, cabbages, onions, shallots, garlic, cucumbers, spicy peppers, peas, spinach, and kale eventually find their place in the farm. They also find some wild grains; amaranth, barley, and rye.<br/><br/>Not only will the humans have plenty to eat, but they have an excellent variety. It will keep them healthy and happy. They still need to labor, of course, and the humans begin their own Great Project of digging a well and constructing a mill--but it's all coming together rather nicely. Agi can not help the humans in their creations, but he does hang around and watch them work--and his good fortune surely benefits them.
