They had spent their honeymoon in Seychelles and had bought a Coco De Mer seed as a souvenir. That seed was unlike any other ones; it came from special trees that had a spiritual value for a kingdom of unseen creatures. That the master of the kingdom appointed a keeper for each of those unique seeds, to remain with it wherever it might go and to protect it from any danger or misuse. Mer was the keeper of the seed that Shawkat and Camellia had bought. Mer fell in love with Camellia ever since he saw her in her honeymoon. While the rules of his kingdom considered the falling in love with a human being to be forbidden. Then , Mer appeared first time to Camellia as one of the hotel staff in Seychelles during her honeymoon when she was nineteen years old ,and gifted her on behalf of that hotel a bouquet of flowers. This appearance was also not allowed according to the laws of his kingdom. As those laws allowed them to appear only for good reasons , while his love for Camellia was an evil itself . By committing those two mistakes, his love for Camellia and his appearance for her, Mer lost some of his powers. Mer was always sad and was suffering because of Camellia's sufferings . He couldn't, for a reason, help her but he could help Shawkat instead to be healed from the short memory loss that he had been suffering from, as his case reflected on Camellia and made her unhappy as well. When Shawkat and Camellia traveled once again to Seychelles after thirty five years, Mer and his grandmother appeared to them as vendors of natural herbs . The grandmother made a recipe for Shawkat that helped him to be healed and he restored back his full memory. The recipe was the main cause of shocking and unexpected events that dramatically affected all their lives.
