The Royal Chambers always had something about them. They were almost perfect. Inside, viewed most ardently, the pure linen served to shade the windows and blur the total light allowed into the rooms. Giving everything a gentle tint of blue. Patterns were painted on the floor, making the room have a rich air and feel to it. Lingering, in the sheer beauty of it all were chairs, stools, tables, all made of soft woods carved and coloured to blend with one another.
Paintings and tapestries of flowers and exotic bird life decorated the walls, giving the room a more inhabited feel. In an adjoining room, the bedstead was heaped with the lightest and softest fleeces over pure Egyptian silk sheets. A small hearth was laid within each room of the chamber, decorated with superbly stacked logs of wood. Lamps were lit in the darkest corners of the chambers, during the late afternoon and into the night, and were replaced with immaculate bunches of fresh and sweet smelling flowers during daylight hours. Harmonious herbs had been crushed and placed in small bowls, and were found in each room, giving the chambers a nice fragrance during the night.
Resting outside the chambers was a large balcony. Partially covered, it offered a breath taking view of the sea. In the central part of the balcony was a small garden, of blossoming flowers, and to one corner a cage of chirpy birds lingered, creating a delightful lay of music during all hours.
It was a chamber designed for royalty. A chamber for the Heir to the throne. However, there was only one child in the Destono family, and it served as her chambers. Guards patrolled the chambers every hour, and servants ushered through during the day making sure, everything was in order. They only remained if they were crucially needed.
Apart from having the few guards and servants pass through, it was a quiet and undisturbed place, making the Chambers almost like Freya’s world. She hardly ever removed herself from the rooms, only when it was night, or they had guests. It was the only freedom she was offered, usually. Sharing the freedom was an Aesculapian Snake. He was a smooth, slender and glossy snake. The snake had consistently brown black colour, with a darker shade behind the eyes, his belly an off coloured white, with large scales making him an excellent climber. His name was Asclepius, like the Greek God of Medicine.
