Seo Jun notices an exotic woman with cinnamon skin and golden eyes walking towards them. Thinking she just a guest he stands and takes Jasmine's hand for them to leave. Jasmine's face lights up when she sees the woman.
"Zehara, you came I'm so happy to see you. I know you have been playing in the water around here. I just did not expect you to come here." Jasmine hugs the woman tightly.
"You asked me to so of course. Besides I wanted to meet my new cousin. "Zehara smiles at Seo Jun reaching out her hand to him.
"I'm Zehara, Legeia's daughter you may know her as GiGi. Since this little one could never pronounce her name correctly. The nick name stuck. " Zehara shakes Seo Jun's hand not letting go of Jasmine.
"I'm Seo Jun ,Jasmine's husband. I'm happy to meet you. Jasmine says you are the reason why we have seen so many dolphins." Seo Jun smiles at Zehara.
"Since Father asked me to provide a quiet place for your honeymoon. I figured it would be nice for you to see my pets. You are the first to come to my sanctuary. This is my place to getaway and hide from the others from time to time. " Zehara motions for one of the waitresses to bring her a drink.
"Your place?" Jasmine asks.
"Yes , when mother came back my grotto was no longer quiet or just mine anymore. So I asked father for this place. He granted my wish ,so when I need someplace where I can rest and not be bothered I come here. I was surprised that he asked if you could come. As you know we never deny father anything." Zehara giggles at even the thought of denying the father.
"Let me give you a tour, that way you can let me know what you wish to do." Zehara walks slightly ahead to explain what all they can do here.
"Of course there is swimming, we have horseback riding, hiking, and we have a wonderful area for couples only." Zehara tells them as they walk into a clearing. There is a large waterfall and a lagoon. Large palm trees and flowering plants hide it from site until you enter the clearing.
"Here you can have massages or just frolic beneath the falls and lagoon. It is mostly for couples because there is a legend. The legend says any couple who makes love in the waters of the lagoon will be happy for life . We only allow one couple at a time here so that no one risks having the wrong people blessed. It's said that one time two couples came and played in the water. When they left their lives were ruined because the water switched their feelings. When they got back the couples grew to hate each other and pine away for the mates of the others. When I heard the legend I made a rule only one couple at a time could come here. " Zehara turns to leave when Jasmine starts to ask Zehara a question.
"Can we comeback at night?" Jasmine asks Zehara wanting to see this place in the moon light.
"You may come anytime you wish since you are the only couple here right now.I personally think that after a night of exercise you should just stick to swimming today. We have snorkeling gear or you can just play on the beach. " Zehara walks over to the masseuse whispering something to him.
"What did you say to him?" Jasmine asks.
"I told him to make sure that the lagoon was lit up after sunset. To also have the couples tent in place. Let's go to the Pueblo and get some refreshments." Zehara leads them back towards the resort area. Jasmine hears a noise in the underbrush. Looking around she sees a giant sea turtle coming from the Forrest area.
"I thought the turtles stayed in the water only. " Jasmine asks
"It's mating season they will venture in just so far. I have told them it's safe wherever they wish to lay their eggs. " Zehara kneels and rubs the turtle on the neck with affection. Jasmine notices that the turtle has some very large painful looking barnacle on its legs .
"Zehara is he in pain?" Jasmine asks .
"Some she is very old and nearing the end of her cycle. I was just asking if she would like me to ease her pain." Zehara covers the barnacles with her hands a soft glow comes from the area where the turtle can barely move. When Zehara takes her hands away the dead and painful barnacles are gone only leaving healthy ones behind. The turtle nuzzled Zehara's hands when she is done.
Seo Jun watches Jasmine and Zehara with the turtle. Smiling to himself he thinks about how gentle Jasmine would be with a child. Their children would never lack love with this mate of his. Jasmine looks up and sees his silly grin.
"What are you smirking about?" Jasmine asks her husband.
"I was just thinking if you are this gentle with a turtle, how loved our children will be." Seo Jun tells her.
"Of course our children will be loved . They will have the two of us and a huge family to help." Jasmine tells Seo Jun as if he made a stupid statement. Threading her arm through his Jasmine smiles sweetly at Seo Jun .
"Father told me about your quest I can help. When your honeymoon is over I will go with you to mothers place. We can look at the map together. If any of the points are anywhere that I am familiar with I will go with you. We all have agreed that we can't alert Taizu. Where it's common for one of us to be seen then that person will accompany you. " Zehara tells the couple as they reach the beach.
"I will leave you now it has been a pleasure meeting you Seo Jun. Jasmine love it's always good when I see you. " Zehara walks into the surf not worried if she will be seen changing. Jasmine looks around and the place is deserted.
"What is wrong my love?" Seo Jun asks Jasmine.
"I was shocked that Zehara didn't seem to worry about being seen. The place is deserted now except us and the employees. " Jasmine tells Seo Jun.
"I have a feeling that it was planned this way. So don't worry I'm sure there is nothing wrong." Seo Jun leans down and kisses his wife .
" I'm sure your right." Jasmine lays her head against his chest holding him closely.
"Sir ,madam the couple tent has been placed at your convenience." A young man from the resort tells them.
"Thank you, may I ask you something?" Jasmine asks the young man.
"Yes of course." The young man answers.
"Are we the only guests at the moment? I thought I saw other couples when we arrived." Jasmine asks the young man.
"Yes ma'am, the queen told us not to accept any couples after your arrival and told the other guest that the resort had been booked after check out today." The young man replies.
"The queen?" Seo Jun looks puzzled.
"Yes queen Zehara, she is the queen of our people. " the young man turns and leaves.
Jasmine begins to laugh Seo Jun still is puzzled.
"This is not just Zehara's sanctuary from her duties. She has brought her people here to live. That is why with no other guests she was not worried about transforming in front of others. The island people are all sirens. " Jasmine explains to Seo Jun her eyes light up in surprise.
" Ahh, ok and that is important why?" Seo Jun asks Jasmine.
"I have always wanted to have GiGi or Zehara transform me into a siren like my mother. On this trip I can ask her to do it. It has been what I have always wanted. " Jasmine childishly dances about the beach. Seo Jun watches her splash in the shallow serf happily. His heart swells with happiness. He can feel his dragon welling up with desire. Seo Jun knows that now is not the time to have a child . Laying back on the sand Seo Jun closes his eyes breathes deeply calming his dragon. Blocking all sounds out Seo Jun falls to sleep. Jasmine sits on a beach chair letting the sun warm her after being in the cool water. Jasmine enjoys just watching Seo Jun sleep. As a little girl she always dreamed about finding a man that was as special and handsome like her father and uncles. She not only found him but fell instantly in love with him. Jasmine's heart begins to race as the heat inside of her rises as the memories of the night before come to mind .
"My love unless you want a child right away please calm your fire. " Seo Jun groans as his dragon can feel Jasmine's fire rising.
"What do you mean?" Jasmine asks.
"When we were joined you also received my dragon fire. You are not just a human or a nine tail anymore but also dragon. The fire inside of you calls my dragon when you desire to mate or in danger . Since I know you are not in danger then it must mean you wish to mate. My dragon does not just wish to mate it wants to make a child. That we cannot allow to happen yet. So for now we can only enjoy each other as we did last night until it is time for us to have a child. I will not let any harm come to you or an unborn child . " Seo Jun's tone is harsh from keeping his dragon leashed .
"My grandmother gave her unborn children to Morrigan when she would be in danger. Morrigan took them for safe keeping to her garden. If it was to happen she would do the same for me." Jasmine sticks her tongue out at Seo Jun playfully.
