"Sienna breathe," Tyrell looked at her. Sienna turned her head. It felt hard to look at him, she felt like she broke his heart, and she was too exhausted to face him. Tyrell looked at her." Sienna I love you so much, don't turn your face from me." he said gently. Sienna peeked at him."What about that iron hammer?"
"It has to be something believable, you asked for three parting presents," Sharchan said. Sienna straightened up, "Just so you know, I did not like them at all!"Sienna whispered and sobbed.
"Forgot about it, Sienna," said Tyrel and kissed her hand again. Then he went to prepare her hot bath.
Sharchan cuddled her a bit more. Sienna felt his intoxicating manly scent and his strong body. It made her feel a little relaxed. "So do you still love me?" she whispered. Sharchan nodded."Always.Is nothing you can do, for me to stop loving you."
"Sarcos said that too, and he was raging yesterday." she sobbed. Sharchan looked at her."I'm not him. My words are set in stone. But I will talk to him, have no worries."
"What if he kills you both, he was so jealous suddenly."Sienna looked at him worriedly.
"No, we have a deal, and I'm not that easy to kill." he kissed her forehead."Just get better." Sharchan start taking off her dress and kissed her shoulders. Sienna relaxed in his hands. Her body always wanted him. Sharchan smiled."She is coming back to herself." he thought.
Tyrell got the bath ready and came to call Sienna. He saw Sharchan kissing her shoulders." Be patient, brother," he said to him, "Come have a bath now Sienna."
Sienna woke up from the daze and blushed.
Tyrell lifted her into his strong embrace. Sienna gazed at him."Do you still love me?"Tyrell nodded."Always." Sienna's heart felt better. If they still love her she felt safe. Tyrell took her to the bathroom and took off her clothes completely. "Wait," Sienna said, "Don't look, I'm still bleeding."Tyrell looked at her." I don't mind, you are mine." he kissed her forehead.
Tyrell made the bath really fragrant. Sienna felt relaxed. She felt good again. Tyrell help her out and wrapped her in the big towel. He brought her her pads and underwear to put on. Then he brought her back into the room and dress her in a comfortable tunic. He sat her in the bed and brushed her hair dry. Then he pleated them into two long braids and tucked Sienna into bed.
He looked at her satisfied."You need to rest."
Sharchan brought her hot fruit drink and cooked rice with dried mushrooms. Sienna felt the familiar smell and looked at him." I made it myself," he smiled and sat next to her. Sienna looked gratefully. She ate the food and chat with them slowly. After she finished, Sharchan gave her a little crystal bottle, "Here, some medicine for your pains." he put it to her lips. Sienna drank the biter sweet liquid and felt warm in her body. She drifted asleep.
Tyrell looked at Sharchan. " Did you give her a sleeping potion? "
"The pain medicine with the sleeping potion."Sharchan smiled." Why do you think we stop over in my grotto, I took it in case. She needs to rest."Sharchan shook his head," I think she is still in shock. We need to find out what happened in that Spider Castle."
"But we are not scorpions to sneak in," Tyrell said.
"Well, then we can call the new king out," Sharchan noted coldly.
Sarcos come back to Silver City. He left Voltoire at the Market gate. He needed to think. He went to Spider Castle library and locked the door behind him.
Samuel got a letter from Sharchan and Tyrell. They asked for a meeting outside of the gate. Samuel noticed that Sarcos is a bit strange as he returned, so he agreed.
Sharchan and Tyrell took the Eagle Guard to fly them to Silver City. They landed at the Main Gate and waited for the new king.
Samuel met them outside of the gate. The kings look at each other."Please welcome dear king Sharchan and king Tyrell, the Spider King bowed lightly. He was aware they are Sienna's mates and was very polite.
Sharchan and Tyrell nodded."Thank you for coming. Please tell us everything that you know happened to our queen. "Sharchan said.
Samuel nodded and told them the thru.
Tyrell and Sharchan felt wrong, their hearts hurt as they heard how hard it was there for Sienna. They did not understand Sarcos's rage toward her at all. They decided to treat Sienna extra gentle.
"Is king Sarcos here?" Sharchan asked.
"He came back and is locked in the library. I think he is picking a few more books to take to Sand City."Samuel nodded."He looks a bit enraged, so we do not disturb him."
Sharchan nodded."We wait for him in the Sand City then and take care of Sienna."Tyrell nodded."You will be a good king Samuel, thank you for helping our queen and for meeting us."They give him their hands and left.
Samuel looked after them, "They were quite nice. "No wonder Sienna loves her mates dearly, "He went back to the castle thinking.
Three days later Sarcos finally get out of the library. He was holding a single poetry book. He wandered the castle one last time and somehow returned to the pool, where the late king ended his life.
The picture of Sienna was stuck in his mind. He felt strange like she was his and not his at the same time.
Samuel was looking for Sarcos to say his thanks. He found him looking at the pool with a strangely sad expression.
"My king, don"t be sad, that the queen liked the late king a bit," Samuel told him.
"Do you think she really liked him a little? He tried to kill her. How can she be so kind?"Sarcos said thinking.
Samuel looked a bit surprised. " You should know her the best, my king. But the late king was mostly nice to her and had to protect her a lot. She just got used to him. Your queen is very sensitive and sweet, I think she is not able to truly hate someone."
Sarcos looked at him and nodded his head."You are right. I worry over nothing."
Samuel smiled."I see you hold a special poetry book, It was a favourite of the last king, it must be really good if you like it too."
Sarcos nodded."I like to read these poems to my queen. Take care of your city Samuel. You will be a good king."
"Thank you for everything king Sarcos."Samuel bowed.
"I will be always your friend. We keep the trade as usual. It will be good for both our cities. I bid you farewell. I'm going to see my queen now. She must surely miss me after so long time."Said Sarcos thinking.
Samuel nodded."A fast way to you my king and give please my regards to your queen."
Sarcos gave his hand to Samuel." Till next time." and strode out of the castle fast. He went straight to the Market Gate.
"My king," Voltoire was waiting for him. I'm ready to take you to Sand City. Is everything finished here?"Yes, "Sarcos nodded and touched his heart, where he placed the packed Sienna's hair."He wore it on him always."Everything is how it should be."Voltoire nodded and changed to a vulture. Sarcos climbed on his back and held on. Voltoire rose high and went to Sand City.
Sienna just finished her days. Tyrell and Sharchan took good care of her. They made sure she rested, eat well and play with them. They were together in the gardens playing chess when Sarcos and Voltoire landed near them."Sarcos, " Sienna stood up and went to kiss him.
Sarcos looked at her curiously. She was sitting with her other mates and playing. It did not feel right. He furrowed his brows.
Sienna remembered his last visit and fear grabbed her heart again as a freezing hand."What's wrong?" Sienna stopped in her steps. Sharchan and Tyrell stood up too. They went after Sienna." Greeting king Sarcos, good to see you back." said Sharchan. Tyrell nodded."Congratulation on your victory."
Sarcos looked at them coldly. Sharchan and Tyrell stared at him. Something was odd with him.
"I need to talk with my queen in private," he said coldly.
Sienna looked at him." What s wrong again? Sarcos?"
Sarcos looked at Sienna hard."You betrayed me!"
"What are you talking about Sarcos?" Sharchan stopped him hard and stood in front of Sienna in a second. Tyrell joined him.
Sharchan became worried about Sienna. He noticed Sarcos's behaviour is a bit strange too. To accuse the queen of betrayal, she could be sold or even killed.
"I will buy Sienna out from you!" said Sharchan."Me too."Tyrell joined him.
Sarcos shook his head."I will not give her up or sell her, she is still mine."
"Betrayed?"Sienna got confused."How?"
"Get back Sienna," Scharchan ordered her. He felt something was wrong with Sarcos.
"I will settle the account with you two later," Sarcos said darkly. He pushed them aside so strong, that Sharchan with Tyrell flew the garden walls and grabbed Sienna in his arms. Sienna stared at him in shock, because he hit her mates for nothing." Please put me down," she fight him off nervously. She suddenly felt scared.
Sarcos held her tight as an iron ring."Stop it, or you hurt yourself again, my darhling! "he ordered her.
Sienna froze and looked into his dark eyes. They did not sparkle, she did not see a fire scorpion like when Sarcos is upset. It was dark as an abyss." Thurrsa", she whispered. Sarcos smiled, "Yes my darhling. Thanks to you, I'm back!
