Scalding Sands - Kalim's Home
|
I got distracted talking about our new clothes, but I was floored by the inside of Kalim's house. |
|
You're telling me! I was completely overwhelmed, and I barely saw any of it! |
|
Really? What was it like? |
|
See those huge double doors? Right through there is a ballroom bigger than anything I've ever seen. |
|
It was so enormous, I just had to take Trey for a little spin on the dance floor! |
|
You guys are gettin' way too into this. |
|
Hey, I wasn't dancing! I was getting dragged around by Cater. |
|
But yeah, it's supes fancy. All the glamor and glitz you could want. |
|
There was ample use of gold in the decor and it was all very shiny. It was a far different look from my castle in Briar Valley. |
|
But like, we couldn't just leave our bags sitting around in a place like that, you know? So we asked what to do with them…
And they took us to the treasury.
There were PILES of treasure, and everything was so golden and sparkly—I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it! |
|
It felt really weird leaving our luggage with all that stuff. |
|
Oh, that's our newest treasury. It was built just this year. |
|
Wait, you mean there are more of them?! |
|
Yeah, there's over 10. |
|
The items are sorted by size and value. That determines which vault they're sent to.
The most valuable family treasures that have been passed down go in the first treasury, which is deep within the manor. |
|
I snuck in there so many times as a kid! |
|
Yes, and caused a huge panic every time. You even broke something once! |
|
Kalim, who knew you were such a little scamp! |
|
Yup! That's also where I met the carpet I ride around on at school. |
|
Which is the most important one of all!
Even though it's only a replica of the legendary magic carpet, it's valuable enough to be a national treasure!
I still can't believe you took it out of the country and brought it with you to school. |
|
Dad wasn't sure about it at first, but he eventually said it was cool.
"Okay, okay, take it! You two better get along." I still remember how he beamed when he said that. |
|
He spoils you rotten... |
|
It all worked out! Now the carpet's a great friend to all of us! |
