When Sienna felt Thurssa was almost kissing her she whispered."My dearest, my heart is bleeding in dark pain. We are doomed to wait for our first kiss. As it should be innocent and pure as dance, song or poem sounding in the snowy mountains. We should not kiss like wild beasts, but to be it an occasion to remember and cherish. I should be free of my bounds and my body should bear no marks. To be pure once more just for you to seal our fate with that special hardships awaited first kiss. Thru my tears keep my king my bleeding heart in waiting as I free with your help all myself for you."
Sienna was so proud of herself to whip up something like that from her head with no notice. She kept her eyes closed and even managed a tear going down her cheek. She just imagined Tyrell's sad eyes waiting for her and she was ready to cry. Thurssa froze speechless at her soft poetic heart-bleed. He retreated back and watched that tear on her cheek drop down on his palm. It was scorching hot and it made his heart flutter like never before. He could not believe how deep emotions he can feel with this female. Like she was opening the secret doors in his heart. He brought his palm to his lips and licked her tear off it slowly. It tasted like immense sadness from the depth of her heart. He felt the wave of excitement pass thru his body. Sienna was like a present with various surprising layers. He should not rush, but let it unwrap slowly. He stared at her beautiful pale face. He touched the strand of her long golden hair which curled elegantly around her face." I will wait for you, my darhling queen. I will have a banquet held to celebrate our first pure kiss. The new era of love and pleasure."He whispered to her ears slowly, tasting each word."
Sienna opened her eyes slowly and managed a faint smile."My eternal love, I will wait eagerly for that day. Caressing our love with the mere sight of you, with the feel of you holding my hand under the silvery sky. With your eyes piercing my soul deeply the refined pleasure of understanding the unbecoming to come."
Thurssa felt his heartbeat high. She was like a balm on his hurting soul. He was always misunderstood due to his poetic and weird nature, but she was like a star from the high heavens sent to him. She understood the language of his heart. Sienna's heartfelt poem descended on him like spring rain and he was hungry for more. He did not need to ask for them, like with the other concubines, they were pouring freely from her heart and he felt it so.
Sienna decided to open her heart to the poetic sensitiveness fully. She had creative talents, so it was not hard for her to adjust. It was her only means of how to survive in this theatrical world of Silver City, and Thurssa's weird harem, full of weird spidery females. Sienna was terrified of them. She knew they despised her for her rare beauty and the safest place to be was right next to this dangerous Spider King. She needed to separate herself from the harem desperately. She felt Thurssa's hand holding hers and she squeezed it a little and flinched with the soft moan.
"What happened darhling, are you scared of something?"He asked her.
Sienna slowly sit up and gazed into Thurrsa's deep black eyes."My heart suffers, I feel it will break under a spell of my immense sadness with my newly found happiness, they fight a war in my heart. I need to pour it out in tranquillity of your grace, for you to bear the worried love with my soul. My gracious king, I'm pleading with you to grant me a separate room away from the harem, away from prying eyes, who hunt me darkly at night stealing the dreams of my eyes and words of my heart, help me from darkness besieging me. I like to write poems to empty my heart from cries to be all filled up by sweet notions of you only."
Thurrsa looked at her curiously. He remembered she always wandered out of the harem at night causing trouble."Is it because she would not sleep there?" he wondered in his mind." It is irregular for females to live apart harem. Do you dislike it there so much?" he asked curiously.
Sienna nodded."My spirit is crushed by crudeness and poems of my heart fallen to dust, never to be retrieved again. The soul is leaving faintly in the cloud of desperation, the prison full of grief and darkness became the demise of the sparkling stars."
Thurssa's brain was spinning hard. So much poetry in such a short time. "The queen must be a rare talent, the bright star, of course, the harem is too crude for her." he thought. He patted her head like a pet."Of course, I arrange a special place for my darhling. Close to my quarters and gardens. I will visit you often to ease your loneliness."
Sienna's face brightened in a smile so shiny, that Thurssa felt the sun raised again."My gratefulness to your graciousness is floating in my sparkling star heart. I will bring her down for you in a poem caught by white swan feathers."
Thurssa's eyes opened wide. He listen to Sienna's words with excitement which overtook him."I let you rest here my darhling. I will make arrangements for your room myself."
Sienna held his hand for a moment and press her hand holding his on her heart." My heart beats for you. "she gazed into his abyss dark eyes. Then she let him go and let herself fall down on the settee. Thurssa touched her forehead." Rest my darhling, I will see you soon."
Thurssa walked thru his castle still digesting Sienna's words. She seem so frail and complicated, he could not understand, how she could stand her not-so-refined warrior mates."Is she playing it on me?" he thought."No, talent like this was not pretentious. Her words were pure from a beautiful soul. "Does she really love me?" he wondered. "It doesn't matter," his inner spider said in his mind." You will make her immortal anyway. Just make sure to write down her poems, it will be a pity to lose them."
"Right, "said Thurssa, he gave orders to prepare a luxurious sweet suite room for Sienna and went to his writing room to record her words. He was immensely excited by her poems and reading them again and again, he felt elated like flying on a little golden cloud.
Sienna sighed when Thrursa left. She placed her hand on her forehead and spaced out. She felt they are watching her, so moving minimally was her best option. She had to think about new poems to make up for him.
Thurrsa could not stop thinking about Sienna, so he went to see her again like something was drawing him next to her. He found her laying in the gazebo helplessly. He reached out for her shoulder. She turned around and opened her blue eyes abruptly. Thurssa sat next to her waist embracing it gently. Sienna smiled at him faintly. She straighten her back and put one hand over her head and one on her heart surrendered in a sweet dream-like painting pose. Sienna looked at Thurssa's painted face and was quiet, waiting for him to start. He sat next to her for a while, watching her face, eyes, and hair. Then he picked the hand she held on her heart. He looked at it closely, appreciating its softness."How could you survive next to such crude kings?"Thurssa asked her curiously with a hint of danger in his voice.
Sienna opened her pink lips and gazed into his dark eyes innocently."My soul has layers only the refined and kind could unravel."Sienna whispered."
Thurssa was satisfied. That made sense to him.
Sienna closed her eyes faintly with a serene smile for a moment. Thurssa was right, he bring out her poetic side. He, the theatre-obsessed killer king, who was thinking about turning her into an immortal concubine at some point. She opened her eyes and smiled at him."Thank you for caring so much, my king."
Thurssa ran his hand on her cheek."I will care for you forever."
"I know," Sienna said sweetly.
"Rest now," he put his hand on her eyes. And like with a magic touch, he could feel Sienna's body relaxed under his hand. He smiled feeling elated. Her body is started to trust him too. Sienna closed her eyes on his touch and thought about Tyrell. He used to do this to her to make her sleep. Her lips smiled unconsciously. How much she missed Tyrell. A glittering tear went down her cheek. Thurssa smeared it with his finger and kissed her forehead."Sleep sweet my darhling." and left.
Meanwhile, Voltoire landed near the Sarcos's tent and gave him Sienna's letter. Sarcos read it with furrowed brows and left Sid in charge."If you see any movements attack," he told him. Sarcos sat on the Voltoire in his vulture form, ordered one eagle guard to take Magnus and flew fast to Crystal City.
In the Crystal City, the rumours about Spider King holding their queen and King Sarcos's huge army surrounding the Silver City spread like a wildfire. Everyone was gossiping. When people saw Voltoire with Sarcos and Magnus in the sky coming into the City, the commotion on the street was enormous. Everyone was curious about the news. In the Tiger Castle Sharchan and Tyrell were waiting eagerly. Sarcos and Magnus landed with the bird warriors. Tyrell had Magnus locked immediately into his room for the time being, till he had time to deal with him. Voltoire will have to work hard to prove himself. He was not a tiger warrior, so it was up to Sarcos to decide his fate.
Sarcos waved by a piece of folded silk in his hand." I have Sienna's letter." he rushed with them into Tyrell's office, away from the prying eyes. Voltoire went behind him with his eyes down.
Sharchan, Tyrell, Sarcos and Voltoire were inside Tyrell's office. Sarcos opened Sienna's letter and read it to them.
"My dear kings,
I besiege you to forget me. I was yours but not anymore because the sun raised to warm up my freezing soul. I'm bound to stay in the Silver City forever as I die without my king in the darkness of desperation.
Sarcos, my last wish, please take care of my beloved horse Trojan. He is too delicate to bear life alone. I will accept your parting presents as is customary in my land.
With painful heart
Sienna (and picture with a heart pierced with an arrow.)"
