Amorateum: A Garden of Love

Nuahaibu used his power of wish-granting and brought forth from the sands and stones of the desert a luxurious palace, or alcázar, for the pleasure of his new wife. The roofs, he topped with verdant flourishing gardens. The grounds were filled with steaming hot and blissfully cool pools of crystal-clear water, in which she might delight in comfort and luxury, but Samia had no desire to settle in one place. She had grown accustomed to the road, and her blood craved more adventures, so the two reached a mutually-beneficial agreement. They would return to their “amorateum” on the longest night of each year and spend it together, enraptured by their carnal bliss and all-consuming love.
