Title: Incomprehensible Empire Rating: PG Word Count: 32 Summary: Kally is married to a vast empire as well as her husband. Notes: Written for mistrali’s prompt “Real Estate.” Thanks to mistrali for the inspiration. Incomprehensible Empire When Kally wed Kaddar, she married his real estate as well, an empire so vast with such an ancient history she could never comprehend it without feeling lost in time’s shifting sands.

“She married his real estate as well” - this is a great line! I can’t imagine how overwhelming it must’ve been coming from Tortall to Carthak.

mistrali, thank you so much for reading and commenting! I'm so glad you thought the "she married his real estate as well" line was great since it was the first idea for the story that came to me, and then the rest of the sentence just sort of built from that. And I do think it would be overwhelming to go from comparatively tiny Tortall to massive and more diverse Carthak. Carthak is just so vast and so ancient an empire that I wanted Kally to be a bit awestruck by the scale and scope of it.
