“I am sure
the stop that will thrill visitors the most during the Cave Tour is the Golden
Portal of the Treasure.” Sessin pointed his arms towards the glittering path.
Milin
grinned. The light effect at the treasure area always put sunlight in his black
eyes.
Inside the
chamber, Pancholin waved his polishing cloth. “Come and take a look!”
Sessin raised his hand for Pancholin to wait and
addressed to Milin. “When you guide visitors here, warn them to watch their
step—” My head chef sighed and rolled his eyes at his cousin, who was already
sliding on his butt all the way into the chamber, “because the floor is
slippery.”
Pancholin
helped Milin up.
Sessin
joined them. “What is it?”
Pancholin
pointed at a pedestal. “The Golden Scale Award prototype.” His tone was nearly
reverent. “It just arrived.”
Milin
whistled in awe.
“Oooh”
Sessin’s eyes opened wide. “My father says the Master plans to give it for
selfless contribution to the community’s wisdom and knowledge.”
“Well, as
Father Dragon ‘The Great’ used to say, the greatest treasure anyone can possess
is knowledge.” Pancholin sprayed polisher on his cloth and rubbed the plate on
the base of the award.
Your dragons definitely deserve the award!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Thanks T.D. but it would not look well coming from myself, hahaha.
DeleteYou're posts are always sooo interesting. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteBe welcome to the dragon cave, Cathrina. Thank you for your interest! :)
DeleteExcellent scene and stage setting. You had me at 'Golden Portal....',and in my haste, I missed the step. FD The Great...so very wise. Golden Post, Al. I'm more enchanted with every post!

Never fails. Everyone is always falling there. I will include a legend that says "We recommend women to wear pants when visiting." :D Thanks, Sue!
DeleteAh, the Treasure Chamber, you actually let tourists in? I love the Golden Scale Award, so very attractive. Of course, its a dragon.
ReplyDeleteJO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
Yes, I let them in but I have a sensor to catch any thief in the exit. ;)
DeleteBut wouldn't it be fun to slide down a mountain of jewels and gold?
ReplyDeleteVery shiny dragon award!
It's kind or hard, you know? Well, for not scaley people, that is.
DeleteNow that is one beautiful award!
ReplyDelete*slips while leaning in for a closer look and takes Pancholin down with me*
Oops! :)
Watch out for the polishing cloth, Laura. Remember the breast plates. :)
DeleteLovely and so well polished. Does it come with a special cloth and polishing cream?
ReplyDeleteYes! Pancholin's own brand. First one is free.
DeletePoor Milin falling on the slippery floor. I can sympathize as if there is a slippery patch within 100 miles of me I will find it and slip.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful award! :)
I'm thinking on placing cushions. :)
DeleteNow, that there is some award!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it :)
DeleteThat is a stunning award! I love the burnished appearance...

That's why I have a professional polisher dwarf. ;)
DeleteYour blog site is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeletethanks!
Deleteinteresting blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteI agree with Father Dragon ‘The Great'! And it's nice, a dragon must hide somewhere his treasure! It's a must!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know. There are still some treasure hunters out there. One is never too careful.
DeleteBeautiful award-- and richly deserved by the dragon, himself, who is both wise and kind.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie. Can't give it to myself but your words always make me feel like a winner. :)
DeleteI really like the dragon cave snippets...great stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. You're too kind. :)
DeleteSpread knowledge, Share wisdom. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's a vote in favor. :)
DeleteI'm becoming immersed in the atmosphere here! Digging your characters and cave!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad, David! Thanks for visiting.
DeletePerhaps you should turn that slippery patch into a true slide for all who enter into the chamber. Or would that be too irreverent? The award is beautiful, of course.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think it is a good idea. People seem to like slides hahaha.
Delete“Well, as Father Dragon ‘The Great’ used to say, the greatest treasure anyone can possess is knowledge.” LOVE THIS! And thanks for stopping by my blog! Happy H-Z!
ReplyDeleteSame to you. I loved your site!
DeleteYou deserve your own award.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the vote, Tony. :)
DeleteWhat an awesome award. Knowledge is indeed a great treasure! :D
ReplyDeleteA young man used to say "Fill your brain with knowledge and it will fill your pockets with money."
DeleteOh wow, I love that dragon! My mother and I are both big fans of Chinese dragons, and always have been. That award looks like a Chinese or Thai dragon. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christen. I like all dragons but may be a bit more the Asian type too. :)
DeleteThat is a beautiful award anyone should feel honored to have, especially for spreading wisdom and knowledge! Nothin' better 'n that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous award!

@klahanie: Hahaha, you mind reader, Gary. Thanks for coming and putting my heart in peace. :D
Looks like Pancholin missed a spot while polishing it. Hand it to me and I'll take care of it for you. LOL! You sure that's just a prototype? Looks kinda spiffy as it is.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are quite a professional in polishing as well. I mean, knights must shine their armors too, don't they?
DeleteGreat thought! Knowledge is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous looking award! You are so right about knowledge, but golden shiny awards are nice too.
ReplyDeleteJulie
So shiny!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Lovely award! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the award... so glittery!
