Jasmine goes to the past

Chen holds the jar with the egg in one hand and takes Jasmine by the other. Chen shimmers away with Jasmine to the fathers garden. Morrigan is waiting for them.

"Chen I understand that you need to take Jasmine to the past but that object your holding could harm her babe. I have been asked to keep the babe in safe keeping till the task is done." Morrigan holds her hand over Jasmine's stomach a white light flows out from her body as a small ball hovers over Morrigan's hand. Jasmine is not sure if she understands what is happening. How could she be pregnant just after a few days ?

"Child, at the moment of conception life flows even when it is just a fertilized egg. The moment that the two meet a life has started. A life that can bring countless joy and tears at times. Right now you child is a ball of cells forming that is how all life began. I will keep it safe until there is no worry of it being harmed by the egg. Just remember to do all that Chen tells you. " Morrigan hugs Jasmine before shimmering away to her garden.

"Why did we come here instead of going to Morrigan's garden. You know when Seo Jun told me his dragon wanted to mate . I told him that Morrigan and Father would protect our child if it was in danger. I just didn't believe that I would actually get pregnant.I was just teasing him. I am happy though that I was right about the fact that our child would not come to harm. That they would protect it." Jasmine tells Chen as she places her hand over her stomach.

"I wasn't sure which would take the babe so I brought you here. Morrigan has not given me permission to come and go as I please to her garden. Where as the father has given his permission. Uktena is a little possessive of Morrigan and does not other male celestials to just show up. Your grandfather Uktena is not one to make angry. " Chen tells Jasmine as he holds out his hand to her. Jasmine mulls over what Chen said about her celestial grandfather. He has never struck her as jealous.

"All men are jealous when it comes to their mates. None are immune to that feeling." Chen smiles at Jasmine.

"Uncle are you jealous over Aunt Selene?" Jasmine asks knowing that he has yet to tell Selene how he feels.

"I am and yet I have no right since we are not in that kind of relationship. She has made it clear the type of mate she wants. I am afraid that I cannot be that person for her." Chen tells Jasmine as he opens his mind to find Selene. Jasmine looks around the home of Seo Jun . She hears peals of laughter coming from the garden to the left of where they are. Jasmine walks to the balcony over looking the garden. There Seo Jun is playing with two children. Smiling Jasmine watches them play. Jasmine's heart fills with even more love as she sees Seo Jun laugh and smile.

"Chen what are you doing here? Who is this?" Selene asks as she rushes across the hall.

"We are here to stop a situation that will scar those in this house . There is a tragic event about to happen. The outcome will be the same but a lot less trauma will be inflicted. We must go to Ari's room , she is about to go into labor. The evil one has changed her babe and it will cause much damage. We are here to lessen that damage. Ari and her babe will still be lost, only the means will be different." Chen explains to Selene .

"Who is this child?" Selene asks Chen again.

"She is Jasmine Seo Jun's future mate. I cannot tell you more just know that the heartache that is about to happen is still much less than how it originally happened. " Chen tells Selene as she waves her hand changing Jasmine's appearance to match others in the house. Gone is her red hair and colored eyes . Now she looks just like Luxe to everyone else. Her eyes still have flakes of color but are almond shaped and darker. Her hair is straight and a deep black. Staring at herself speechless as she looks in the hall mirror. Selene knew that Jasmine was of Morrigan's bloodline as they are nearly identical. Selene just did not know from which time she came.

Seo Jun feels his pearl growing warm a soft pulsating rhythm of a heart beat fills his head. His dragon starts to stir. Seo Jun looks around wondering what is causing this sensation. Standing Seo Jun leaves the children to find where this disturbance is coming from. Walking into the house he follows the best towards the laundry area. Once inside he sees Selene handing some items to someone. He cannot make out who they are as the pile of folded laundry covers her. There is a gentleman he has never seen before helping them.

"Selene, what is all the bustle about?" Seo Jun calls out .

"Selene bows her head in greeting.

"Young master Seo Jun, I am just preparing things for your sisters labor and delivery. It is any time now. I want everything in order for a smoother time for her. Why is something wrong? Do you need me to fetch anything for you?" Selene asks as Chen gets Jasmine away before Seo Jun can see her.

"No not really, my dragon is behaving funny and I was trying to find out why?" Seo Jun answered.

"Everyone is on edge waiting for Ari to deliver. Why don't you go find the children and try to calm down. It is. Most likely anxiety over Ari. As you know her pregnancy has not been an easy one." Selene walks with Seo Jun out of the laundry area back towards the garden where the children are. When they arrive the children have gone into the great room to play and sit with Ari. Selene over hears Chloe tell Seo Shin that she plans to marry Seo Jun. smiling Selene leaves letting Seo Jun explain things to Chloe. Selene rushes to Ari's room to find Jasmine beneath the large four poster bed. Under the step stool she has placed a glowing egg. It's just small enough that it can't be seen unless you are looking for it.

"Chen I know you do not wish to tell me what is really going on. I need to know if we will be in danger from what is happening?" Selene asks Chen.

"I really shouldn't do this but you are like a dog with a bone. Let me show you what is going to happen if this is not done." Chen takes Selene's hand , closes his eyes breathing deeply he begins to chant.

"Show us the true future not the one I wish to make. " Chen chants over and over again until Selene's mind is filled with the vision of Ari's child hatching as a dragon and devouring its mother. Then watching Seo Jun being forced to behead it. Selene gasps at the scene she just witnessed. Wiping her cheeks of the tears before speaking.

"If Ari dies things will fall apart. Ari is next in line to rule. Her birthday is near and she will take the throne. " Selene tells Chen.

"I believe the chaos that is about to come is what the evil one wants. He is trying to force all dragon kind back into sacrificing human women to birth a child. This act we are doing won't change the fate of Ari and her child. It will lessen the pain of the brutality of what originally occurred. We are only here to try to save Seo Taizu some humanity. Some things won't change but some will. Our hope is that Seo Taizu can be stopped from committing blatant mass murder and be forgiven. There are things that will happen regardless of what we accomplish. It's Seo Taizu's soul we are trying to save through this." Chen tells Selene. Selene nods with understanding as she helps the ladies finish getting the room ready. As Chen and Jasmine are leaving to head back to the time portal Seo Taizu comes in.

"Selene, I understand that time is nearing. Is all well for the delivery?" Seo Taizu asks. Jasmine watches him as he gently lays a blanket in the crib that is ready for a babe.

This gentle man seems like a different person than the cruel monster that wants his son dead. As Seo Taizu turns he notices Jasmine and starts to walk close to her. He can smell the dragon fire inside of her.

"May I ask who you might be?" Seo Taizu asks Jasmine.

"I am just a maid master." Jasmine answers him without raising her eyes from the floor.

"Odd, all of our servants are human but I can smell dragon on you." Seo Taizu comes closer reaching his hand to Jasmine's face. He hears a scream from outside.

"Selene Ari is bleeding heavily. What must we do?" Seo Jun enters carrying his sister.

"Lay her on the bed and collect hot water from the kitchen. Mater Taizu it's time for you to leave. Ari has had such a hard pregnancy already we must act quickly." Selene pushes father and son out of the room.
