Arriving at the Ukrainian station there was a huge queue. All women and children. Most with large suitcases. They were all pretty much fast-tracked inside, but I had to go to the "foreigners" queue. The customs officer looked at my brand new and empty passport for a few moments

They pointed at it and said something which I interpreted as "what's that?". I took out the apparently suspicious little box. Everyone was staring at it intensely and I felt like they were holding their breaths waiting for me to open it

The 4 bed cabin was suddenly much roomier.
The soldiers then asked (ordered) to see my luggage. Or rather they pointed at it and said something which I interpreted as such. It was just my backpack filled with clothes, a laptop and nothing out of the ordinary but they did notice a small white box

I would name her Elaria. I imagine she can summon glowing white patterns across the waters. Her magic can raise or calm storms, help heal the oceans, or simply guide a lost sea otter pup back to its mother. Her power comes from deep inner peacefulness and harmony with the sea.
