The winner of the first 10 was FLOWER, so that's going to be your first choice! (There will be an elimination round at the end.)

11. Henna

As her servants were painting fertility symbols on her, Tamina tried not to panic, tried to remain calm, but from the horror stories that had been fed to her by the wives of the other two Princes, Tamina was a bundle of nerves.

When the servants informed her that the henna was done, she observed each design and prayed to the gods for confidence to survive the night. Prince Dastan seemed honorable enough, but the idea wasn't enough.

Standing in the middle of the room, waiting for her Persian husband to arrive, Tamina swallowed. At least the henna wasn't permanent.

12. Dress up

Tamina remembered liking to dress up as a young girl, always trying to get her hands on a religious robe. They made everyone look so much more regal, and she wanted to be just like them – a holy, beautiful priestess. She knew that she was a princess, but that wasn't enough. She always strived to be the best. Back then, she had not known what the religious robe signified - the fact that its burden wasn't only its actual physical weight, but a whole other one.

When she learned her duty though, Tamina never actively sought out religious robes again.

13. Hide-and-Seek

She swore that Dastan was hiding from her so she would have to seek him out. She threw her hands up in the air at his silly games. Storming back to their chambers, she felt arms wrap around her waist and lips against her ear.

"Looking for me, Princess?"

She glared at him – no matter how nice his hug felt. Stomping off to their bedroom, she froze as she opened the door. Petals were strewn all over their bed, her favorite meal on the table.

"Happy anniversary, Princess." She smiled. Perhaps Hide-and-Seek wasn't that bad of a game after all.

14. Scroll

She's seen Tus reading scrolls all the time. She's seen Garsiv reading scrolls when forced. She's seen Dastan reading scrolls never.

When she mentions it, he tells her about being an orphan. When he went to the palace, the King had hired tutors to teach him how to read, but he refused to learn.

Tamina stared at her betrothed. Picking up a scroll, she pointed him to a chair and started to teach him. When she realized she had chosen one of the love notes from foreign suitors, she ended the lesson. Maybe he didn't need to learn after all.

15. Baby

Tamina place a hand on her stomach, wondering how to tell Dastan. He was currently out overlooking the reconstruction of Alamut's walls, making sure everything would be able to withstand any invasions. She, on the other hand, had just finished dealing with the High Council, trying to convince them that Dastan wasn't turning their city into a weapon but a fortress for the people.

When Dastan walked into the room and threw his royal robes on the chair, he was prepared for the routine bantering. What he wasn't prepared for was the "Hello, Daddy" which had left Tamina's mouth.

16. Bird

One time, Tamina had woken up because a little bird had landed on their windowsill, chirping happily. She had been irritated until she realized how its cuteness.

Dastan, on the contrary, was quite displeased. Still, when he grasped how smitten she was and disappointed when she never saw it, he spent many days in the gardens trying to find it.

Tamina got out of bed, to the window, wondering if she would see her bird. When Dastan whistled and it came flying in, she glared at him half-heartedly. Of course he would train the bird instead of attending important meetings.

17. Marriage

Tamina always hated the idea of marriage, ever since she was little. She had been quite the independent child. The concept of marriage meant that she would have to change her ways, allow an arrogant man in her life. Therefore, when foreign suitors came, she always refused.

So when the barbaric Persians had offered the invader of her city to her in marriage, she was more than ready to reject him – perhaps a lot less politely. When he had handed her the Dagger and looked at her with those eyes – those eyes – though, she hesitated, and she wasn't sure why.

18. Horse

Dastan was always partial to horses. He liked being in control of his movements. When he ran, walked, jumped, climbed – he knew his actions. Horses made everything more…subjective.

Tamina liked riding her own horse. It made her feel more regal, more independent, more powerful. When she was on a horse, she demanded the attention of her audience. Horses made everything more…authoritative.

When Dastan had to escape from Alamut on horse, he could only think that it would trample him.

When Tamina shared a horse with Dastan while escaping her own city, she could only think that he would antagonize her.

19. Bathroom

When she realized that Prince Dastan was having her followed by some of the best guards in the Persian army, she was furious. She had thought that they were out to kill her. Of course the Persian would want his bride safe. She could take care of herself just fine.

With fists clenched, she stormed into his room, prepared to give him a piece of her mind. When she opened the door, ready to rant, she froze in place. There stood the Prince, dripping wet, a drying cloth wrapped around his torso.

"Did you need to use my bathroom, Princess?"

20. Book

Tamina enjoyed reading books even as a child. She would sit on her dad's lap, chewing completely immersed in the words. After her parents died, she took up reading alone in her room, pillows propped up against the headboard. When she finally believed Dastan to be a noble Prince, she found herself reading in his presence. He would sit in the shade of their favorite tree as she lay back against his chest, reading contentedly. She was able to read with abandon, knowing that he wouldn't let anything happen to her as she lost herself in the world of fiction.
