Augure

That duck is believed to have been roaming these lands since before I was even born. It is known to be a bringer of bad news — wether it triggers bad fate or simply tries to warn you of upcoming events is unknown. In doubt, most villagers will shoo the augural duck away, often with the help of a broomstick or similar tools when the duck gets too insinsting, as they believe keeping the duck away, alone and unwanted, will keep fate away as well. Still, if you ever meet that duck on your path, I would highly advise you get a complete check up at the doctor or rethink that big investment you're about to make. Just in case.
