GiGi calls for all the celestials along with Jasmine's parents. Once everyone arrives GiGi begins to share her thoughts.
" As you know, we will be holding a wedding tomorrow. I have a lot of worries with this joining. I want to say what is on my mind and get your opinion on the matter. I felt the bond between Jasmine and Seo Jun immediately. The moment Jasmine dove into the water I felt it across the world and shimmered to her side. The fact that this is happening with in a day of them meeting doesn't bother me. It's the fact that his father sent an assassin after him. Seo Jun comes of age to take his father's position soon. The only way his father will not be forced to give up his position is if there is no other silver dragon. Seo Jun is the only one, but he is a silver dragon without a pearl. Which means he has no real power. I think his father has been pretending to try and breed a new heir. Though none of his efforts have had no results except the deaths of countless human women. With Seo Jun not having a complete dragon pearl I worry that the dragon binding ceremony may not work. Having him bound to Jasmine is the only way . It will ensure that his fathers tricks to strip Seo Jun of the last of his power fail. I think since his father knows he is here. That we should have the ceremony at Jasmine's home in Japan. It protected and it is someplace that his father will not have time to have him followed. The deed will be done before he finds him. We do not know how much time we have before his father realizes that his prisoners are gone, or what will happen when he does. We have told Seo Jun that he will still have to pretend to be obeying his father till we can restore his pearl and his powers. In all the times in the past we always knew what we were up against . We could prepare for most outcomes. This time there is no way of knowing. We don't know how Jasmine is going to react to Seo Jun's dragon fire. We have no idea how his father thinks or reacts . None of us have ever dealt with the dragon clan. There is one more thing. Seo Jun's father has been trying to do business with Shiro's company. I worry about what will happen when he finds out about Jasmine and her connection. So those are my worries and I leave it up to you to discuss." GiGi sighs and sits next to Lilli.
Shiro is just sitting quietly waiting to let someone else voice their thoughts. His emotions are to intense to voice. Lucian stands and begins to pace thinking about what GiGi had to say .
"I lived with Seo Jun's family for a time. Inari and I hid among the dragons when she was pregnant with Shiro in the early months. Seo Taizu's only weakness was his daughter. She was not just his first born but a silver dragon. She was his heir. In the beginning dragons would mate and lay eggs. When the dark one saw their potential as helping him gather souls. He changed them . He gave them the ability to shift and live in human form. To do this they had to be born in human form. So the dragon males would capture human women and lay them on a crystal alter. Their fire would fill their chest and turn the woman to ash. From those ashes three things would happen the woman's soul would be trapped in the crystal alter. A male baby would be born along with his pearl. When the male babies come of age and the dragon would come out they would hunt for female victims to breed with. Until a dragon captured a woman that he fell in love with. He tried every thing to keep the dragon from coming out. When his desire inflamed him beyond control he could not control the dragon inside. When his fire began to flare up instead of consuming the woman she was able to absorb it. They mated as human and dragon bearing human children with the same abilities as any other dragon. That first dragon was a powerful female dragon that could control all elements. After this dragons birth ,dragons no longer had to kill human women to breed. They were able to live in human form and have families. They were able to live among the humans. It wasn't until Seo Jun's sisters death that his father started breeding in the ancient ways . He blamed Seo Jun because he had not been able to save his sister. Her child was larger than her human body could deliver. He was born in dragon form instead of human. His dragon form devoured his mother. Taizu went insane after that. When the dragons no longer needed to kill humans to breed . They went into hiding and used their pearls to keep the dark one from finding them. Most dragons are not evil if Seo Jun can take Taizu's position dragons will no longer be upsetting the balance. "Selene explains what she knows of dragon history and lore. Shiro is more at ease knowing that dragons are not really evil .
"Then we prepare the ceremony at our home. We help Jasmine's mate reset the balance. One of us will always stay close to Jasmine till this is over. I know my daughter she may not have gifts like her sister but she is just as stubborn. Even if we were to deny her she would just ask mother to take her to Father to ask. So we just prepare for what we can and be prepared to help when needed." Shiro stands and puts his hand out for his wife. When Lilli stands they shimmer to Jasmine's room leaving the elders to finish their discussion.
"Do you think he will be ok with this?He has not had to part with any of his children as of yet. " Lucian asks looking around the room to see if anyone has a guess. A small red head that could pass for Jasmine's sister who is in truth Jasmine's grandmother, Morrigan giggles .
"I'm sure he will be better than you when You found out about your child. He has always known that this day would come. I just think that he was expecting to be able to meet the boy before the wedding. It's been awhile since we had so much excitement. This is going to be fun. I will go and report to Inari and father asking for their presence tomorrow." Morrigan shimmers away to go to The creator's garden.
"That is not a job I wanted, thank goodness Morrigan has no fear. The Father is so protective of those girls what will happen if he is against it?" Selene asks Lucian.
"He won't be, most likely he already has a plan. It could be the very reason Jasmine's gifts never manifested. We will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. " Lucian chuckles at the thought of the next day.
"Well I must go I still have a wedding dress to finish weaving. Uzil how are the binding threads coming along?" Selene asks Uzil.
"They are nearly finished thanks to City. He has been a big help. They are not just simple threads. They must have specific patterns interwoven throughout. One symbol you will not believe has to be in the center." Uzil smiles at Selene wondering if she knows.
"The claddagh surrounded by a series of Celtic knots. I never knew why but I know they are beautiful. When the couple is bound a tattoo of the design of the thread appears on their finger. So if it is successful. Seo Jun will need to find a ring to cover his tattoo. " Selene haughtily tells Uzil before shimmering away.
"Well I guess for now we just prepare things for the ceremony. Everyone will be present tomorrow so it's will be a full day to say the least. "GiGi flicks her wrist and a portal opens letting everyone know she is ready for them to leave.
Meanwhile back at the hotel Jasmine is talking to her mom about what has happened since arriving in Greece.
"Mom , I am sorry that things are going so fast. It's just there is no time to waste. " Jasmine takes her moms hand.
"I know the elders explained everything. I think your father came here before we went home to reassure himself . Don't worry all will be ok. Just don't be to hard on your dad. I do not think he is ready to give you to anyone yet." Lilli smiles at her daughter. Lilli isn't worried as much now that she has seen her daughter. There is a soft knock on the adjoining door.
"Jasmine can we talk? I would like to call your parents. I don't think the first time we speak should be when we are being bound." Seo Jun calls through the door.
"Umm, they are here . The just arrived a few moments ago ." Jasmine opens the adjoining door for Seo Jun to enter her room.
