Aerys Hae-Oma

During one of her travels, she had ended up in a place she didn't know, but that wasn't unnatural for her. She tended to travel and explore, though sometimes it ended as nothing more than an exhaustive adventure with no bonus, this was much different.

The crystals were the first things that caught her attention, beautiful and bright, shining through the cave and making everything look colorful and welcoming. As she wandered forward though, slipping through the labyrinth of crystals like a wall of mirrors, she stumbled upon a beautiful waterfall, lifting her head up to watch it for a moment, a strange sense of peace washing over her.

Off to the corner she noticed what seemed to be a shimmering rift and she cocked her head to the side, keeping her distance for now but watching it curiously. However as something popped out and landed on the ground, her curiosity peaked even more.

Slowly she moved closer, sniffing at the bag curiously, trying to get a better look at it.

Five minutes earlier, it had started to rain.

Not here--not in the caves. Somewhere beyond, somewhere linked to this place, through that shimmering gap in the air.

It had been unexpected. Which was unexpected in and of itself; they could usually predict the weather well enough. Maybe it was just that time of year. There'd been a lot of swearing, a lot of scrambling to get things under a protective, oiled sheet of leather. Maaaaaybe he'd accidentally knocked something through.

It had been an accident. One of the things they'd only just gotten, too--damn. Maybe she wouldn't notice.

In any case, it was just a little damp when it tumbled out at Aerys's paws. But the water hadn't penetrated; rather, it was beaded along the outside.

It looked like sealskin fur. Maybe it was; the white was certainly almost translucent in places, a glossy, almost oily sheen to it. There was a faint, gray pattern on the bag's back, but most of it was just white. It was shaped like a very large satchel, over a foot long and almost that tall, and a large flap of the same stuff--white leather, with short, sleek, white fur atop it--folded over the open top and was latched in place with a little button made of animal tooth corded in pale leather. A beautiful tooling of beadwork--red and blue, set in a framework of grey--formed a pattern down the middle of the bag, along the top and down the front.

A broad, supple leather strap could be used to carry the satchel, and was adjustable, with a buckle made of bone. (Metal simply got too cold to touch, where the bag had been made.)

No one came to claim it. Just the bag tumbled out, lying at Aerys's feet: hers to take.

Well this was.... interesting... to say the least.

For a moment, she just stood there, blinking in confusion at the item that landed at her feet, wet, but seeming to repel the water from wherever it just came from. She glanced up at the rift, waiting a moment to see if anything else would come through, or if the previous owner would come to take the item back. But, after a few moments of waiting, nothing happened.

Glancing back down at the back, she hesitated for just a moment longer before shrugging to herself. She wasn't one to take things that didn't belong to her, but this quite literately landed at her feet and no one came to claim it. It would do no good to just leave it here, and besides, it would be an immense help when she gathered herbs and plants.

And so, she leaned down to dip her head through the strap, standing up and letting it fall across her chest. It was tight enough that it didn't really mess up her strides, but loose enough where she could step out of it when she needed to.

With a small smile on her face, and turned to leave, happy with her newest addition.
