It’s Treasure I Seek

The stranger was looking for anything useful and gestured to a leather bag. Ashiel gazed at it for a moment trying to figure out how it would be useful. It seemed like an odd, dried, chunk of hide to him at first but as he considered it he realized it would be useful for putting things in. "Ah, what do you intend to use it for?" He could see a healer using it for herbs or a hunter using it to carry horns, teeth or hooves. Perhaps a holy man might use it to carry trinkets for rituals and he hoped the man's answer would give him a clue as to the other's profession.

"My name is Ashiel Abraxas, leader of the Eclipse Empire. What is your name?" Could the man himself be a sign? It was hard to say. He certainly couldn't imagine what the bag would mean.
