WARNING: at somepoint in this chapter there'll be swearing
There were golden chalices, golden coins, rubies, diamonds emeralds, white pearls on a necklace, some golden rings, even a crown. Troy climbed onto my back again as me and everyone else looked around the luxurious luxury stash of golden everything. My eyes dilated at the shiny gold and decided to dive into the big pile. Troy swam off of me in the gold pile and spat out a few shiny coins.
"Noo how am I gonna find my golden bracelet through all this gold?"
"I never knew there would be THIS much!!!" He said.
"Are you surprised?" I said.
"Yeah? Why?"
" when you said you wouldn't be surprised if we found treasure in a week?"
"Yeah."
"We found this huge stash in 3 days."
"NO WAY!"
"Yes way I was keeping an eye on the time and day on my watch so I'm not surprised that it took us this long to find treasure."
"A-And we thank Chiro for her bravery and dad for his smarts and very precise measuring."
"Thanks." Louis said with a small smile
"M-Matilda?"
"What? it's our chance to move oot of the anti wifi cabin."
She grabs handfuls of golden coins putting them into her purse right when they got to the treasure hidden in a cave. She kept stealing until a loud voice was heard shaking all the gold and golden valuables and they all started hiding inside the gold quickly before he appeared.
"Finally found my golden bracelet."
"誰があえて私の金を盗んで来る?!?!?!?!" (WHO DARE COMES STEALING MY GOLD?!?!?!?!)
"Ack!" Matilda shouted swimming back down to hiding.
He looked around the whole place but saw no one. He shrugged and went back to whatever he was doing. Matilda slowly reached out of her hand for more touching some gold but Louis slapped her hand for her to snap out of it.
"Stop."
"Why? Noos our chance."
"He... senses... if... anyone's tou...ching his... gold."
Matilda didn't believe him so she rubbed the gold with her hands teasing Louis.
"Oh yeah? What's he gonna do aboot it? Huh? Oh wait nothin y'know why? He's not here."
As Matilda kept teasing Louis, Scott heard footsteps. They were loud and echoed the entire cave. Too scared to say anything, Scott tapped everyone's shoulders and whispered to them to hide in the gold again. Everyone but Matilda went into the gold for hiding.
"And then he'll never expect a thing hahaHAH!!! Wait where did ye all go?"
"ああ、私は私の洞窟に泥棒を持っています。なんて皮肉なんだ.? (Oh so I have a thief in my cave. How ironic.)
"それについてそんなに皮肉な何ですか?"(What's so ironic about it? Louis said.
The rich and selfish man made a smile similar to the grinch and started laughing not answering Louis's question. As he walks out of the shadows of his throne, He had all kinds of gold covering him head to toe. He was wearing a big golden crown with all kinds of diamonds on the tips shining from the light flashing on everyone's eyes, 2 golden plated rings on each wrists, 10 precious ring stones of topaz, garnet, jacinth, agate, beryl, onyx, jasper, painite, quartz and corundum. In the middle of each of his 4 necklaces were 4 other gems of emerald, diamond, ruby and amethyst.
He had all kinds of gemstones that we've never seen in person before. There were plenty of other gemstones in the pile of gold too. Chiro's face grew more red as she stared at him.
"君のうそつきをうんとうだ!!!!!!!!!"(RIN TODOKI YOU LIAR!!!!!!!!!) She shouted.
"しかし、これはほんの始まりに過ぎません."(But this is just the beginning.) Rin said.
"いいえ、それはあまりにも長いリンでした。あなたはこの家族のトライエーターです!!!!!!!!!"(No it's been far too long Rin. YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO THIS FAMILY!!!!!!!!!)
"ちろI..私は.."(Chiro I... I'm)
"私はもう宝物の大きな隠れ家を見て驚いていません。それは盗まれたものの束です!!!"(I'm not even surprised of looking at the big stash of treasure anymore. IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF STOLEN STUFF!!!)
"このすべて...盗まれた?(All this... Stolen?)
"はい！このチャラス、スプーンとフォークのこの黄金のセット、この玉座、ファックトイレ、この金はすべてあなたによって盗まれます!!!!!!"(YES! THIS CHALACE, THIS GOLDEN SET OF SPOONS AND FORKS, THIS THRONE, A FUCKING TOILET, THIS GOLD EVERYTHING HERE IS STOLEN BY YOU!!!!!!)
"申し訳ありませんが、私はそれからスナップアウトしようとしましたが、私は自分自身を助けることができませんでした."(I'm sorry I tried snaping out of it but I just couldn't help myself.)
"私はあなたがまだ私の兄弟だと信じることができません!!!二度とあなたに会いたくない!!!!!"( I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE STILL MY BROTHER!!! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!)
We all left the cave with most of the gold Matilda took while Chiro was yelling at Rin. Most of the cave didn't even have gold anymore. Rin was now back to the sad poor life he once had with his sister who now hates him. All he had left were his 10 rings and 4 necklaces with gemstones. He walked slowly back into the shadows trying not to cry. He knew this was all his fault and he really didn't mean to be all greedy with the gold. He thought of making up but he knew his sister would still hate him no matter what he does for her. She would never forget the most horrible thing he did.
He got rid of all the gemstones he had hiding them and never came back to find it. All he had now was a cave and stone to sit on. He sat on a stone rock all depressed. Hands touching his face and looking down at the floor with his crown on and rings and necklaces with now no gemstones and the 2 plated rings on his wrists. He took them off and threw them away as far as he can along with each and all the necklaces and rings and stopped when he was about to take off his crown. He decided to keep the crown since he loved how shiny it was and kept it on.
Chiro and the rest of us walked with a big heavy bag of gold that was now ours. Chiro was still angry but knew stealing the gold he found was what he deserved. We kept walking and walking and walking until we came across a town. Over there looked like a bomb was dropped into their town and exploded everywhere. The people looked sad, they were skinny and their clothes raggedy. When we came up to one, He looked at us head to toe and walked away.
"WAIT!!!" I shouted and then covered my mouth because I didn't expect to shout so loud.
"うーん?何."(hm? What)
"こんにちは、私はルイスだと私たちはここで何が起こったのか疑問に思っていましたか?広島の爆弾がここに来たようです."(Hello I'm Louis and we were wondering what happened here? It looks like the bomb of Hiroshima came here.)
"私たちは貧しいので、その理由です."(Were poor that's why.)
"私は知っているが、あなたたちはどのように貧しく行ったのですか?"(I know but how did you guys go poor?)
"いくつかのろくでなしは、すべての私たちの富と宝石を盗んだが、私は誰を知らない。私は彼らに私の手を得ることができれば、私は彼らのちくしょう首を壊します!"(Some asshole stole all our wealth and gemstones but I don't know who. If I can get my hands on them, I will BREAK their damn necks!)
"さて、私たちは洞窟からそれらをすべて盗んだ。どうぞ."(Well, we stole them all from a cave. Here you go.)
"Oh cmon Louis I was savin that for when we move oot!"
"待つ。。。これは本当にそれのすべてです?"(Wait... Is this really all of it?)
"はい."(Yes)
The towns person looked at the big bag full of gold coins that once belonged to them. His eyes sparkled opening the bag to see their gold coins feeling them if they were real and they were indeed real gold. He hugged Louis squeezing him making Louis uncomfortable.
"私たちは何年も金を見ていませんありがとう!"(We haven't seen gold in years thank you!)
Louis was happy to help but he was squeezing Louis a little too hard.
"Ummm... あなたは今停止することができます."(You can stop now) I said.
"宝石を待って!"(Wait the gemstones!)
"私は彼らの14人だと思いますか?"(Let me guess are their 14 of them?) Chiro said annoyed.
"はい!"(yes!)
"それを知っていた."(Knew it.)
"What are the names of the gemstones?" I asked.
"トパーズ、ガーネット、ジャシンス、アゲート、ベリル、オニクス、ジャスパー、パイアイト、クォーツ、コラム、エメラルド、ダイヤモンド、ルビー、アメジスト."(Topaz, garnet, jacinth, agate, beryl, onyx, jasper, painite, quartz, corundum, Emerald, diamond, ruby and amethyst.)
"But why do you all need 14 gemstones? Doesn't that sound like a lot?" I said.
"それぞれが私たちの町について何かを象徴し、それがかつて持っていた富であるので、私たちはすべての宝石が必要です。私たちはこれまでで最も豊かな町でした."(We need all the gemstones because each one symbolizes something about our town and it's wealth it once had. We use to be the richest town ever.)
"Where do you guys put the gemstones?" Troy asked.
"付いて来てください."(Follow me)
We all started walking across the once wealthy city now falling apart slowly. There were more sad looking townspeople along with their confused children but would smile at them to let them know it'll be ok. When we got to where the gemstones needed to be, It was some worship looking center but in front of us were no gemstones. Their was a holder where it can hold all the gemstones firmly without them falling off the windowsill. The room looked grim and it was slowly breaking away. I looked at the towns person presenting us where the gemstones go and asked him something.
"Ummm... Mr..."
"Hm?"
"私たちはまだあなたが名前を得ていません."(We haven't gotten your name yet.)
"ああ、申し訳ありませんが、愚かな私のヘヘ。私はシャクールをフミトです."(Oh sorry silly me heheh. I'm Fumito Shakur.)
"Nice to meet you Fumito." I said. "But what does each of the gemstones symbolize in this town?"
"トパーズは、私が町を意味する都市の愛、情熱と目的を表しています。ガーネットは、愛と友情を結びつける人々を表しています。ジャシンスは、私たちがいつもここに来るために使用する疫病や軽みから私たちを守ります."(Topaz represent love, ion and purpose of the city er I mean town. Garnet represents the people here's relationships together love and friendship. Jacinth protects us from plague and lightening that we use to get here all the time.)
"Y-you mean that you guys... Use to have lighting every day?" Jacqueline asked fearfully.
"不可能になる毎日ではありません。私たちは毎週それらを得るが、今、私たちはジャシンスを持っているので停止しました."(No not everyday that'll be Impossible. We get them weekly but now that stopped since we have the jacinth.
"Wait but without the jacinth, Does that mean you guys'll get lightning weekly again?" I asked.
"悲しいことにはい、私たちはされています。そういうわけで、私たちの建物のほとんどはゆっくりと割れています。それは材料が毎週弱くなっていると私たちは本当に本当に今あなたの男の助けを使用することができます."(Sadly yes and we have been. That's why most of our buildings are cracking slowly. It's materials are getting weaker every week and we could really REALLY use your guy's help now.)
"I-i don't like lightning. It's scary and I always think it'll break the window of our house." Jacqueline said.
"はい、私も好きではありませんが、私たちはそれに使用し、子供たちもそうでした。とにかく、アゲートは私たちの強さと勇気を提示します。それがなければ、私たちは何もありません.私たちは絶望的です.それは最も特別な宝石の一つとしてここにラベル付けされました。私はもうここで混乱に耐えられない."(Yes I don't like it either but we got use to it and so did our children. Anyways, Agate presents our strength and courage. Without that, We're nothing... We're hopeless... It was labeled here as one of the most special gems. I can't stand the chaos here anymore.)
"Jeez you guys really depend on those gemstones because that's all I'm hearing you say." Troy said.
"Well, It's not everyday where you find gemstones of course these people depend on them. That's what got their town running in the first place." I told Troy.
The towns person nodded and continued explaining.
"しかし、ベリルはアゲートよりも重要です。それは幸福と祭礼の愛を促進します。私が言いたいのは、私のような人々の結婚が幸せであり続けるのに役立ち、それがなくても、私たちはまだです。それはまた、ここで悪魔を離れて安全に旅行者を保ったが、今ではすべてなくなりました。それは誠実さを増加させ、怠惰を治した.(But beryl is more important than agate. It promotes happiness and maritual love. What I mean is it helps peoples marriages like mine stay happy and even without it, We still are. It also kept demons here away and our travelers safe but now all that's gone. It increased sincerity and cured laziness.)
"Ye poor things but at least ye have each other." Matilda said.
"おとじは私たちを一般的に悪から守った。ジャスパーは、私たちが素敵な町でここで私たちの悪い時代を通過するのに役立ちます。私はそれが私のお気に入りの宝石だジャスパーが恋しいですが、ペインアイトはそれがどれほどまれであるかのために痛みを追体験するために使用されています。多くの人が痛みを持っていませんが、私たちは非常に少数の一人です."(The onyx protected us from evil in general. The jasper helps us go through our bad times here in the town which is nice. I miss the jasper it's my favorite gemstone but Painite is used to relive pain it's important because of how rare it is. Not many people have painite but we're just one of the very few.)
"Well good for you guys. You guys have a lot of pretty and meaningful gemstones." I said.
"How are you understanding big sentences like this? All I'm hearing is AAAAAA." Troy asked.
"I know English too kiddo. Hahahahaha What? I didn't tell you I was bilingual? Hah nonsense! If I only knew japanese, I wouldn't have responded." Said the towns person.
"You... You sound like someone from New Jersey." Troy said trying to keep in his laughter.
Matilda folded her arms, tapping her foot repeatedly looking at Troy in annoyance.
"But our aunties accents more funny. Owww!" Troy said ad Matilda gave him a small slap.
"Oh I have no other accent just my Japanese one. Anyways, For the quartz, It increases spiritual growth, spirituality and wisdom like our ancestors."
"Wait HOLD UP! You guys had those gemstones for that long?!?!?!" Troy said in surprise.
"Yes they mean that much to us. Now, No more interruptions please."
"Ok."
"The corundrum promotes insight to the unknown-"
" :musical_note: Into the unkoooooowwwwn into the unkooooooowwwwn INTO THE UN-"
"Save it for later kid I'm trying to explain something important."
I started ducktaping his mouth so he wouldn't talk anymore.
"And now for our 4 most important gems and you better not interrupt on this one kiddo because we labeled them the most important ones. Emerald presents balance and harmony. We a small town are one that accepts each and every ethnic group and religion. Therefore, This is not a Japanese town. Sure there are some japanese buildings here but a lot of people here like me are bilingual. We all get along great here all ethnicities, religions etc are what make us live in balance and harmony. The Dimond presents strength and love as well and health."
"Ruby like our town presents our wealth and prosperity and last but not least amethyst. It presents purification and gives us a better connection to our spirits. Our ancestors that are now dead but never forgotten. We always talk to them from the amethyst. Well now, We don't have all of that anymore. We now live in chaos everyone's now indoors but me the only reason I walk outside because I feel better that way. At least we have our wealth back and businesses will open back up again and everyone will be outside again but it won't be as effective anymore since the gemstones are worth more than our golden coins currency."
"Don't worry naw mare Shakir I think we know exactly where the gemstones are." Matilda said looking at Chiro who knows where the gemstones are at.
"Oh thank you your guy's help is just what we needed. We'll be waiting!" The towns person said running off with a big bag of all the golden coins and other golden valuables.
"Another adventure in one?" Chloe and Zoey said. "Yaay were excited!"
"But... we... gotta be... careful... too." Louis said.
"Well time to get our hands onto some gemstones-" Troy said.
"AND take them BACK to the city that was once wealthy."
"And... and that too." Troy said.

What a long chapter. At least that's done. I had to do a lot of research on a lot of gemstones. It took a while but I at least enjoyed learning what they represent and symbolize. No there are no new Scottish words today I'm sorry.
