salacia was dancing with her sisters, and the moment neptune saw her, he decided he wanted her as his wife. unfortunately for the love-struck god, the goddess wasn’t interested in his proposal or giving up her life as a sea virgin and she ran off to the atlas mountains to hide.
being the persistent type, neptune summoned delphinus, the dolphin king, to find the goddess and persuade her to marry him. the smart and gentle natured dolphin set off on the mission. after weeks of searching finally found her. the dolphin was such a lovely creature that salacia was drawn to him and listened to his persuasion. delphinus explained that her steadiness would balance the volatile nature of neptune and if she married him there would be harmony in the sea.
