Lavinia's P.O.V.

We continued down the long hallway for another minute until we finally got to my home. I stopped and looked behind me to see everybody looking around in fascination.

"This place is absolutely gorgeous, Queen Lavinia." Chief Rametoto said.

"Why thank you. I put my heart and soul into this place to keep it safe from enemies. And please, no more formalities, call me Lavinia. It's what everybody calls me."

"Alright. Then no more formalities for any of us." Rametoto said.

"Okay." I say laughing then add, "now please, follow me so i can make an announcement about this. Artemina, you can place Chastity on the bed in the blue and purple tent to your left. We'll wait for you."

Artemina nods and goes to place Chastity on the bed. When she comes back I start to walk towards the main platform. As I am about to walk up the steps, I grab my staff and motion for everybody to follow me. Once we all get to the top of the platform, I slam my staff onto the ground, causing everybody to gather around me.

"My people. I have great news. The Seven Seas Alliance is not what they seem. Yes, they did come to Keystonland, but they are completely opposite of what the guards had been saying. The truth is, is that they are completely against killing an entire culture of people. They want to be able to keep us safe right now and in the future. Now, please, can we give the Seven Seas Alliance our traditional welcoming into our home?" I say. Everybody cheers and I turn around, and I snap my fingers. In a blink of an eye, everybody's clothing has a sort of symbol that they are friends and comrades to us gypsies.

"You guys are welcome to explore Asgard and when you guys are ready to head to bed, meet me under this platform and I will show you to your tents. Also, eat and drink any of the food that appears good to you. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to talk to my father." I say before walking off. I turn around and see everybody either talking with the other gypsies or going to the table to eat and drink. 

I walk into my father's tent to see him reading a book. He looks up at me and jumps a little.

"Where did you find that snake?" Dad asks shocked

"Oh. Brujas here is the companion of one of the members of the Seven Seas Alliance, King Armakan." I say petting the snake.

"I'm proud of you sweetheart. I can see that you are slowly gaining feelings towards this Armakan man. I would like to meet him some day." Dad says. I giggle and sit next to him.

"Your right, dad. I am slowly gaining feelings towards Armakan. I also think that he will be the one to help me get over my fear of unknown men and show me that not everybody is like that bastard." I say laying my head on dad's shoulder. Dad lays his head on mine and we stay there until dad yawns. I get up and let him get into bed before kissing his forehead.

"Goodnight dad. I love you." I say.

"Goodnight baby girl and I love you too." Dad says. I turn around and blow out the candle. 

I then notice that it is somewhat quiet and start to walk towards the platform. Once I get there, I see everybody there.

"How long have you guys been here?" I ask making them all jump, also making me jump.

"Oh, we just got here." Pisti says.

"Okay. Well then I will start to show you all to you tents." I say walking towards the tents surrounding mine. I put Morgiana, Aladdin, and Alibaba in a tent, Ja'far and Sinbad were in one, Hinahoho, Rametoto, Masrur, and Drakon were in another one, Yamuraiha, Pisti, and Artemina were in one, Darius, Sharrkan, and Spartos were in the last one. I then realize that Armakan still needs a tent but there are not any more.

"You can sleep in my tent. I have another bed in there." I say turning to Armakan.

"Alright." He says. We both walk into my tent and when we turn to look at Armakan's bed, we see Brujas sleeping in it. Armakan sighs and I giggle a little.

"I guess we will be sleeping in the same bed if that is okay with you?" I asks softly.

"I don't mind if we share a bed." Armakan says. 

"Will you turn around so I can change into some night clothing?" I ask. Armakan nods and I start to undress. I get a pair of pajama bottoms on and look for my shirt. I turn around and see it on the bed and cover my breast to the best of my ability, and turn around so I am facing him.

"Armakan? Will you grab my shirt for me please?" I ask. Armakan nods and hands me my shirt. I look up to and see Armakan looking at my back shocked. Before he makes eye contact with me, I look down in embarrassment. I feel him move my hair to softly trace the scars before kissing them. He looks at me and smiles, and I shed a few tears. He then looks at me worried at turns me towards him. 

"What is wrong?" Armakan asks. 

"I feel so ashamed because of how my body looks. It's so hard for me to look at myself in the mirror now." I say and cover my mouth and start to sob. 

Armakan pulls me into his chest and hugs me. After a few seconds, Armakan looks down at me and says, "You shouldn't feel ashamed and you should be able to look at your self in the mirror, because what I see in front of me is a strong, brave, and beautiful woman even with scars. Those scars show that you lived through something horrible and that you survived," before kissing my collarbone on the scar. The scar that he kissed is that longest scar on my body, it starts on the right side of my back, runs up diagonally and goes over my shoulder, runs across my collarbone, then curves to the left going down between my breasts and stops halfway down the left side of my hip. Armakan takes my shirt and helps me put it on before picking me up and taking me to the bed. 

He lays me down and places the covers over me before going to the other side and also getting in before pulling me into him. Armakan lays on his back and I hop out of bed and blow out the candle before crawling back into bed any laying my head onto Armakan's bare chest.

"Goodnight Lavinia." Armakan says kissing the top of my head.

"Goodnight Armakan." I say smiling before we both fall into the black abyss of sleep.
