Adenou was enjoying the hunt. He killed the biggest dear and was satisfied with himself. It was thrilling for him to chase animals thru the forest. He felt savage and free. He liked his new power. He felt invincible in Sarcos's body.
Sharchan and Tyrell noticed Adenou is a bit narcissistic, so they made sure they got smaller deers than him. Adenou was bragging proudly about his biggest catch and Sharchan with Tyrell listened approvingly. They wanted to keep him happy for Sienna's sake. Sharchan roasted the hole dear for Adenou on the fire, because he could not eat in his scorpion form.
" I did not know, you can cook so well."Adenou watched Sharchan turning the deer on the fire.
" Legacy knowledge, "Sharchan said with a subtle smile. They try to stuff Adenou full of food much as they could. Adenou felt satisfied. He noticed, that he is mostly satisfied inside Sarcos's body.No more insatiable hunger. The spider lust was not there anymore and he rejoiced like a free person. He started to hate that spider. "It was good the spider is dead." he thought.
Sharchan looked at Adenou as they sat around the fire."You look pretty happy, but you need to eat a lot more to feed the scorpion."Sharchan noted. Adenou shook his head, "I feel good, besides the scorpion is ignoring me and I like it. I don't even sense him."
Sharchant nodded."Maybe he went dormant till you become even stronger. Maybe then you should be able to control it. Sarcos used to train really hard every morning." Sharchan noted."
"I do not relish that much in fights. I prefer mating. It is a far more pleasant form of exercise."He smiled cheekily and smirked at them.
Tyrell looked at him."The next week with Sienna should be Sharchan's, will you let her go to the Crystal City with us?"
" But what I'm supposed to do when she is with you?"Adenou asked.
"Well, you have to train hard every morning. You took the body of the strongest scorpion and now you have to live up to its expectations," said Tyrell.
"Also Sarcos mixed potions and made cosmetics for the queen. She loves that."Sharchan nodded."And, you need to come to Crystal City to spare with us because Sarcos ordered us to level up."Tyrell said.
Adenou felt his head spinning. Sarcos was a busy king indeed. When he is supposed to read his poetry? Sarcos had a full library of it and Adenou was dying to read it." I will give them the week then for now." he decided in his mind.
"Ok, I will think about it, I like some time to read in my new library." he nodded.
Sharchan and Tyrell nodded. At least he got one hobby. They spend the rest of the day chilling in the forest. Sharchan was talking about great poets of the snake tribe and Adenou was interested to listen. Tyrell was not much into poetry, but he knew how to sing a few songs. Sharchan made him sing it for entertainment. Tyrell saw Sharchan is stalling the time, so Sienna can rest a bit, so he humiliated himself in front of them for her and sang.
Adenou wanted to show them how singing is done, but Sarcos had a stronger voice than Thurssa and he was struggling to find the right tune. They were shouting in the forest like a bunch of crazies but had a good time. Adenou did not remember the time with male friends. It was a new experience for him. He felt light and amused, and somehow savage. He felt alive.
Sienna was playing chess with Ziran. She stared into his wild eyes."Ziran, can you please not watch me anymore while I mate?"
" What?" said Voltoire." That is why you are always so busy," he said jealously. Ziran shook his head."It is Tyrell's and Sharchan's orders. Don't worry, I do not enjoy watching you with him."He wished he could mate with her instead.
Voltoire smirked cheekily."I can help you watch if you don't like doing it ."
Sienna blushed. "No. Who everyone is watching me?"
"Sharchan, Tyrell, me and Rem," Ziran said.
"Even Rem?" Sienna blushed and held her cheeks. This was just so embarrassing! "It is no point you watch me while we mate, he will not hurt me. And he is strongest anyway," she sighed.
Ziran nodded."I will ask Sharchan and Tyrell. Are you upset, that I saw you? "he asked gently.
Sienna shook her head."I understand you were worried about me. But we know now Sarcos's soul can see everything as well and he is inside, so you don't need to worry that much anymore."
Ziran nodded.
"Sarcos's soul is inside?" Voltoire asked surprised. Sienna nodded."Secret, do not blabber it out to immortal, he doesn't know."
Voltoire nodded."On my life!"
Ziran looked at him." I will take it if you break your word.." he look at him dangerously.
Sienna put her hand on Ziran's strong shoulder gently." We all need to work together to overcome this." She sighed.
Ziran nodded and calm down a bit.
"What if he stays stuck in Sarcos's body forever?" Voltoire said.
Sienna shook her head." Sarcos will not let that happen. We are trying to find his original tribe, if you have any ideas, please let me know."
Voltoire nodded. Ziran looked at her painfully." Checkmate!"Sienna smiled." Lord Ziran you lost the game!" Ziran looked at her. Her smile was worth losing a game.
" I want a rematch!" he demanded brutishly and Sienna giggled. She almost forgot he is a brute. She glanced at sneaky Voltoire. Voltoire felt his heart flinch. It was his fault she is suffering now, but he saw Sienna forgave him. She was so happy to have them around.
At dawn Sienna was waiting for Adenou in Sarcos's room covered in the sheer golden veil, her pale body was shining in the darkness. He was out all day, so she got time to eat and rest." I missed you."She kneeled on the bed and burry her head into his stomach abs, hugging his waist with her arms. Adenou licked his lips." I can get used to this! It looks like when I'm out she is even more eager to mate. I need to go hunting often." he thought.
Sienna kissed his body till he could not handle it and he took her hard. Then she cuddled him and fell asleep. Adenou was also very tired and fell asleep.
At night Rem slipped into Sarcos's room. He was holding a yellow flower encased in a golden charm. He held it under Adenou's nose for a second. He changed into a huge black scorpion."My king, time to hunt."Rem said. Sarcos climbed out of the narrow doorway and went hunting. Rem was feeding his scorpion body without Adenou's knowledge every night. The scorpion tribe also did not question the king, they joined him for hunting at night and everything looked regular.
Sarcos come back at midnight, to have more sleep as his body did not sleep much the past few days. His body felt a bit tired. The next day Adenou woke up late morning. He looked around the room and searched for Sienna with his eyes. She was sitting on the cushions, writing a beautifully decorated letter. When he peeked she hid it with her hand." Shh." she put her finger on her lips." It is for you, but wait patiently, or the words will scatter into the thin air." she smiled sweetly at him.
Adenou nodded. He felt elated, she is writing a new poem for him.
He went to refresh and dress in the bathroom when suddenly his eyes noticed Sienna's little shelf with make-up. It had colourful eyeshadows in turqoise blue, pink, purple, and brown. Adenou picked up the small container with turquoise blue and opened the glass lid. He stared at the vivid colour.
Suddenly hundreds of turquoise, brown, black, green and azure blue eyes started to dance in front of his eyes as a mirage from the past. He stared in the mirror and started to paint his eyes frantically in blue eyeshadow. He added some green and brown, but he was still not satisfied. Sarcos's skin was darker than Thurssa's and he needed to put a lot of pigment to cover it. Then an idea stroked him. He mixed some face cream with a pigment to make the creamy colour. It was so much better. It covered his skin nicely. He felt excited and a bit bewildered.
Sarcos's soul inside of him was in a very quiet rage. Sarcos watched him paint his face and he felt he wanted to smash his own head into the mirror just not to see how ridiculous he looked. "Hopefully Sienna will not let him go like this outside or everyone will be making fun of me for the next century."Sarcos sighed.
Adenou went out to Sienna, but she still wrote the letter. Sienna lifted her head and saw his painted face. He looked like a man who fell into the bucket of rainbow paint. It did not suit him at all. Sienna knew he was painting his face before. "It may be the clue to his original tribe," she thought. She smiled gently."Did you miss any colours you like to add? "
"Only black," he replied like in a dream.
" Here," she gave him eyeliner from Sarcos."Now, tell me how you got this interesting colourful design?" she smiled kindly.
"I just saw it in front of my eyes."He said. Sienna nodded. She will discuss it with Sarcos later if it can help them track Adenou's original tribe.
"Here, my letter is finished, "she gave him a decorated poem sweetly.
Adenou took it and read:
"Adenou, your dark eyes pierced my soul deeply and your love is burning my heart in passion, my body is giving into you in sweet surrender I call out your name. Kiss my lips to feel the conjunction of two souls under the starry sky I want to sing a song with you, gently embracing my love."
Adenou felt happy. It was so nice to read a sweet poem from her. He looked into her eyes as he went to sit on the cushions and wrote her another one. He gave her the letter and pushed her into the bed. Sienna lay on her belly and read.
"Your golden hair I stroke as I look into your blue eyes, I'm taking you morning, evening and night, as air is to breathe I need to feel your body, your soul is depending on me and I enjoy the pleasure of you immensely. I'm your strong master and you are my little queen, for me you live and for me, you scream my name in the bed. My hands will glide on your body and your soul will be mine in the love divine. "
Sienna smiled."Yes, he is a narcissist a lot." she thought and kiss him deeply. "At least Sarcos is somewhere deep in his body too..." she thought as he was taking her again.
