"Thank you! However can I repay you!" said the Sultain said bowing his head. "Please Sultain, can you tell us where the Kalphite Queen and her lair are?" The Sultain's skin went pale at the very word 'Kalphite Queen' He sat in his chair, putting his head in his face. "What's the matter?" said Tilus.
"I...I can't tell you!" he stammered. "Why not? Do you not know?" said Willo egarely. The Sultain slammed his fist on the table, "If I told you, you would end up the same as my family during our trip in the desert"
"What happened?" said Keril. The Sultain sighed and started his story, "It was my seventh birthday. My mother and father took me out to the desert of Al*harid so I could buy myself riches and golds, far more beautiful then any other. However, as we approached, we saw a deep hole. One of the guards went in, and never came out. Only two minutes later, a swarm of Kalphites had appeared, devouring my mother and father. I was saved by one guard who led me out"
He nodded his head, "I cannot let anyone else endure such a fate, it would be beyond me" "I know it's hard that your family had died from the Kalphite" said Keril with a sorrowed voice, "But if you don't tell us, then Zaros will cause the Armageddon" The Sultain raised his head, "The Armageddon?! If it is to be that, then I shall tell you everything I know about the lair"
He handed him a map, showing where all the Kalphites lairs were, and where the Kalphite Queen was. "Thank you Sultain" said Keril bowing. The Sultain stopped him before he could bow. "No, it is not you that bows for me" He got on his knees and bowed. "I bow for you, saviors of Al*harid. Kill that Kalphite Queen, for me"
Tilus smiled, "Gotcha" They group slowly walked towards the edge of Al*harid, and found themselves in the Shanty pass. "Hi! Would you like a pass!" said a man named Shanty. "Why do we need a pass?" Shanty smiled, "I overheard, if you want to get to the Kalphite Queen, buy a pass"
