We entered the small narrow passageway leading to the Artemyra kingdom.

"A huge bird!" I exclaimed before realizing there were 2 girls riding it.

"Hey look it's heading back towards us!" Jafar yelled.

"Travelers from the outside world? That's unusual." They said staring down at us.

"Hello, ladies!" I smiled waving up to them as they kindly waved back.

"Oh boy what beautiful women," exclaimed the Mystras.

"If you think you can make it all the way to Artemyra I'll show you a good time!" They teased before mocking the past attempts made by travelers.

"Sure thanks," Sin smugly said. "I'll be looking forward to tonight, then." He said successfully swooning the two girls. Who ended up quickly flying away.

"You are the man Sinbad!" Exclaimed a flushed Mystras. "I'll be your follower no matter where you go!"

"Hey take it easy, Jafar," Hinahoho attempted to cool down the now pissed off Jafar.

--

"We have to make it through this valley in one day!" Mystras began running as soon as we docked. "Onward to the garden of Eden!"

"Haha, I'm with you!" Sinbad yelled following behind

"I wouldn't use up all my energy if I were them," Jafar sighed as I watched them charge through the valley.

"They're so excited," Laughed Hinahoho.

--

"Jafar I can't feel my legs," My eyes widened as I looked up to see Mystras and Jafar in perfect shape. Damn ex-assassin and knight...

"It's so hot out here I'm spent you guys just go ahead," I nodded before quickly whispering something into my brother's ear.

"We're going to fly using our Djinn equips!" I exclaimed winking at the boys. Mystras and Jafar's faces flushed a light pink when I realized I was slowly going up and down in the air, which isn't good for my outfit. "Perverts," I mumbled getting slightly behind Sinbad and we attempted to fly off.

Jafar quickly used his kunai to grab onto both of us and ended up zapping us with lightning.

"Jafar?!" I whined as my body slammed into the ground. I got up with tears slightly brimming my eyes.

"Please understand, we're in Artemyra territory, where nobody knows about Djinn equips or Metal Vassals. Flying around like that would cause them to be unnecessarily wary of us. We'll lose everything." He explained as a snake-like aura surrounded him. "You two are not the only ones who are exhausted! This heat irritates me, too!" He yelled before attacking Sinbad once again.

"Jafar I'm sorry!" I enveloped the boy into a hug, "but I think I really might pass out.." I said falling onto the slightly shorter male as my vision began to darken.

When I awoke we were surrounded by a fire and eating food that they had found.I looked at my clothes to see that I must've switched back when I passed out. I looked up to see Sinbad and Mystras laughing beside Jafar who was completely flushed pink.

"Oh yeah, Amaris!" Sinbad said gaining my attention, "When you passed out you fell on top of Jafar completely suffocating him with your chest!" He explained before laughing at the ex-assassin.

"Oh my, Jafar I'm so sorry!" I bowed as I apologized to the younger male.

"It's okay... there was no way to really prevent it anyway," he managed to say. I smiled before going back to sleep.

It took another day but we had finally arrived at  Artemyra.

"We are not here as tourists it took a long time to finally get an audience with the Queen. I suggest going there now but.." He looked at all of us telling us that we stink. We walked around asking for an inn, but we quickly learned that this Kingdom didn't have one.

"The only place with an actual public bath would be the red light district, but there is a river somewhere around here," One of the girls said covering her nose.

"Let's go to the red light district!" said Sinbad. At this point I don't care where we went as long as we bathed I was fine.

"I refuse," Jafar interjected.

"But Jafar are you saying that we don't smell and that we could go talk the queen whilst smelling so bad," Sinbad argued back.

"I won't tolerate you causing problems with the women as soon as we step foot into a country, please quit fucking around!" Snapped Jafar causing me to snort.

"Can't we go to the river?" I questioned the 2 boys who were arguing. "And can we please hurry?" I was tired of feeling sticky and smelling like sweat.

"It wouldn't hurt to check it out, c'mon let's go," Hinahoho said as we started to make our way to the river. When we got there it was a large open river. I looked around to see if there were any parts of the river that were more private. I found a small area of the river that was surrounded by trees.

"I'm gonna bathe over here!" I yelled so the others wouldn't follow. I quickly undressed and got into the cool water. "This feels so nice," I mumbled attempting to clean myself as best as I could with the water. In the distance, I heard a twig break so I looked to see if there were any openings in the trees.

I saw an opening between the trees and made direct eye contact with Mystras. My face went red in embarrassment as I sat deeper into the water so that he couldn't see my chest. Thank god I only saw the top half of him. I turned around once again only to see Ja'far hitting the poor redhead.

Soon we found ourselves inside the palace to speak to the Queen.

"I see you've all come a very long way to get here," A girl said leading us into a room. "Her excellency is not in her best mood... Please be mindful of what you say." We walked in and bowed to the queen.

"Your Excellency, we are extremely delighted of having the honor to have an audience with you," Sinbad said. "I am Sinbad, the proprietor of Sindri Company. It's an international trading company based in the Reim Empire. We are here in hopes to establish trade in your country."

"Your Highnesses, I hope we haven't offended you in any way. If there's something bothering please don't hesitate to tell us," Ja'far said at the Queen's lack of speaking. I heard laughter behind us so I slightly turned my head to see the queen. She threw the doll off the throne and began to talk about how she was disappointed in how there were only men sent, and before I could cut in Sinbad did something.

He waltzed up to the throne and tried to swoon her!

"I'm not like any other men," he said trying his best to seduce the woman.

"Oh, but you are," she countered and started talking trash about men and soon I found us all surrounded by the guards.
