The day for us to leave that location finally arrived. I had rested as much as I could the day before, and so had the entire camp, even Eiko. Thankfully we had no other incidents, so most of us could remain idle.
Packing began rather early—about two hours before sunrise. I had already been awake—who hadn't? So I could watch the whole thing unfold and was rather intrigued to discover where they kept all those equipments and camping materials.
Astral chests… normal-looking chests that had the space within them manipulated by skilled Craftsmen. That space manipulation did not affect the overall weight of the vessel.
Although practically any coverable vessel could be made one, there are other, more common types of 'Astral items,' as they were called.
Astral Rings, Astral Satchels, barrels, and so on. I particularly had a lot of knowledge on the matter. I had built some of such rings in the past, after all.
