The spice set

Is such a box no taller than a woman's hand made of white oak and moss green lizard hide to protect from the rain. A latch of bronzing color which holds it shut, one whoms fastener is the fang of a worldly beast carved so slender with a emerald embedded as its seal openable only by a misty magic. Two straps sowed unto its back for it settles upon the hip of thine belt. Carved from crystal that one can peer through like ice, nuzzled so close yet separated by hide, no taller than the longest finger and width of a thumbs nail they sit within this piece, the six vials of spice.

Acting as a shield is a pan of dark metallic color, no larger than a palm, equipped with a folding handle that firmly claps onto two horizontal leather straps sown down the face of the spice set.

Attached unto the right lateral side is a sheath to hold a cooking knife slightly smaller than the box.

Easy to grasp and hilted by ore colored green as deep as midnight this knifes edge so sharp that just a graze will split the skin.

A spice to carry:

1: Providing a briny flavor, collected in irregular size, yet ground to fineness, a paling white spice brought to the brim of one translucent vial. (Salt)

2: Snug beside hide is a vile brimming with a leafy spice left to the sun and dried until a color of marble black attaining the pungent flavor of burning heat. (Pepper)

3: Milled together are dried peppers/vegetables, seeds, grasses and oil (meat seasoning)

4: crushed bone marrow, animal fat(beef/chicken), salt, sugar, (soup seasoning)

5: pedals/buds, fruit peels, roots, leaves, stems (healing herbs)

6: So clear. So clean. This empty container abundant with air awaits the substance of new flavors.
