Episode 5
Kendra thinks she is so funny, that she dared to take the next king of the dragons home, he deliberately teased Mariah.
"A funny human you are," Kendra commented and she smiled.
"I am a high-class me....." Mariah was about to tell him she was a high-class mermaid but the rumbling of her stomach breaks the friendly atmosphere.
Kendra thinks she is more and more amusing.
"Sorry about that, I am kind of hungry." She felt embarrassed at it and he smiled at her.
"You do not need to be shy about it, we are friends now right?" He asked her what she thought.
"Yes, we are friends now."
"Then don't be embarrassed, it's normal to get hungry, let's get something to eat then." He suggested and she walked behind him smiling like never before.
"What brought you to a place like this, only a few humans come here?" he asked.
"Well let's say, I love the view as well, I am so hungry."
"Would you like to chew on leaves?" He suggested and they both laughed about it.
"Just get me food, you can chew on leaves okay?" Mariah added and he smiled about it.
"Do you know what?" He said.
"No. What?" She asked, feeling confused.
"Wait here while I get you something to eat okay? Do not leave." He demanded from her and she spoke jokingly, "You do not expect me to leave the man I am getting married to right?"
"How can I forget that so easily, you are so funny." He acknowledged it.
"I will be waiting here for you my mate." She added and he just laughed telling her he will be right back.
"He is so adorable, I shall wait till he returns." She waited for him.
Kendra did some fishing and caught small ones, he hung them, walked to her, and said, "I will prepare the fire to roast them."
She became worried about what he was about to do, she can't eat her kind and now she has to open up to him so he will know the truth about her being a mermaid.
"It's time to roast the fish." He said to her with a smile and she stopped him immediately.
"Please stop, I can't eat this." She said in a low tone and her response made him more confused.
"What do you mean? It tastes nice, you know." He tried to convince her.
"It's not about the taste, Kendra, I am not allowed to eat my kinds." She looked down and Kendra who paused for a second started laughing.
She got unhappy seeing him laugh at her when she was just being serious with him.
"Can you stop laughing? I am not joking." She said in a high tone and he stopped laughing trying to understand what she meant.
"Are you serious about it?" He inquired about her being serious himself.
"Yes I am serious, it's forbidden to eat my kinds."
"Now I am confused, make me understand Mariah, how can little fishes be your kind?" He focused his gaze on her to understand what next will be leaving her lips.
They got disturbed by some humans who came to them saying, "Hi, this is my husband Pete and I am Ruth, today is our anniversary in marriage, eight years now." Ruth said smiling at them and they both faked a smile out as well.
"If you don't mind, can you take a picture of us? We do it every anniversary." Pete her husband requested politely.
Kendra accepted because he is used to the camera, he took multiple pictures. Mariah loved the couple and wished she could have a strong love bond like them.
She controlled herself from crying not to fill the place with pearls and not also to chase the couples from her.
The couple thanked them for helping and Ruth asked, "Sorry if I am asking many questions, are you two lovers?"
"Nah, we are not," Kendra replied.
"Yes we are, ignore his response, he will be seeing my parents soon," Mariah said smiling and Kendra laughed knowing she was just playing around with the couples.
"Wow you both look great together, let me guess, you both met here right?" They nodded.
"I guess the tale about this place is true," Pete added to the conversation.
"What tale?"Mariah and Kendra asked at the same time.
"I got told that you find your destined soulmates here and also a place where destruction also took place. We don't believe it can bring doom to us, we believe just in the love with our soul mate, and we have spent years together still loving ourselves."
"That's fantastic, I guess the tale might be right as well," Mariah added smiling.
"In case you want to join our small party, meet us here." She gave them an invitation card.
"Thank you, Ruth and Pete," Mariah said and Kendra waved at them.
Kendra is not good enough but kindness is also in his trait and doesn't despise humans.
He took after his father's attitude but grew hatred because of what happened to his mother.
He looked at her wondering if she knew he was the king of dragons, she wouldn't dare to take him to her family.
"Are you serious about it?"
"Just joking but we can make it real." She teased again and they laughed.
"You were saying?" He reminded her of their previous talk before the couples interfered.
"Oh, yes, I am serious, they are my kind, I am not from this world but the sea."
Kendra thought she was crazy about it.
"I am a high-class mermaid, that's why I look more of a human."
"I don't believe you, Mariah, if you are a mermaid then reveal your tail." He requested from her though he was shocked about her being a mermaid but pretended to be calm to see the proof himself.
He doubted her again, "she can't be a mermaid." He said in his thoughts.
