with carved beams

I was thrown into the sea by my brothers and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea. Later, under the impact of the current, it slowly rose to the surface. Then, suddenly, a bird as big as a man swooped down from the sky and immediately picked me up and soared. In a daze, I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a palace with carved beams and painted buildings and decorated with all kinds of treasures. There was a woman sitting on a jeweled throne in the midst of a crowd of beautiful girls. Her whole body was glittering with jewels, radiating a dazzling radiance that made it impossible to open the eyes of those who faced her.
