Xander was guarding outside while Ramse with Sienna slept in her nest. Xander looked at the stars. "Will I be able to keep her at all? She sure likes me, but can I keep her?" Xander bit his lips. "Sharchan can fight 150 warriors as a snack. How strong he must be?" Xander thought hard. "I need to become stronger to be her mate!" The touch of her lips was still burning him. He could feel how passionate is her body.
Sharchan slithered fast towards Sand City in the darkness of the night, when army tents glittered in his way. "Scorpion army, they are surely looking for the queen."He thought. "Who is leading them?" he couldn't resist having a little look and a little play. He slithered straight thru the tents, falling them to the ground and laughing viciously.
"King Sharchan, still so childish? " Lord Ziran stood in his way. His hands on his chest and lips curled up in a brutish smile.
"You lead them?" Sharchan smiled.
"No, I drag them. They are too bloody slow." Ziran shook his head."Any news of the queen?"
"Yes, she will be going behind Sand City, I suspect they are taking her to panther tribes first, "Sharchan noted.
"Xander?" Ziran's eyes lit up. "How did he heal so fast?"
"He got Royal blood. And he is king now. He and Ramse bought Sienna from king Aiden."Sharchan said coldly.
"How is the queen?" Ziran was worried.
"Have no worries, she always does what she wants. These two are too weak to keep her." Sharchan shook his head. "Go ambush them, I know you are good at it."Sharchan smiled.
Ziran nodded with a wicked smile."I kill them for this."
Sharchan shook his head."Not yet, they actually help the queen, just do what she says."
Ziran nodded very slowly. Sharchan saw the bloodlust forming in his brutish eyes, but he just smiled and left. He knew Ziran will do what Sienna say.
Sienna woke up in the morning. She lay on the hard naked man's chest and heard his loud heartbeat. She stretched her hands and felt a hairy hard chest. She lifted her head abruptly and stared into Ramse's face. She stared at him frozen. Her eyes wander around, thinking about how she got there. She clearly fell asleep on Xander.
Ramse saw her confused face and smiled victoriously. "Good morning pretty girl, I like when your cheeks are pink from sleeping. "He ran his finger on her cheek. Sienna found out she is laying completely on top of him and her face reddened. She tried to move down to get off him. But he held her tight by her waist.
"Good morning, Ramse. Please, let me stand up," she begged sweetly. He could feel her heart beating in panic.
"Stay a bit longer," he said lazily and ran his other hand on her back and pressed down on her sensitive lower back. He knew exactly where. Sienna's body arched a bit and she breathed out hard. She looked into his eyes in panic. Ramse's lips curled up. He could feel her body getting hot against her will and she was a bit shocked.
"The sleeping next to her surely worked too."He smiled in his mind and licked his lips.
Sienna felt trapped and betrayed by her own body. She tried to wiggle out of his embrace.
"Are you trying to excite me?" he looked at her with his deep grey eyes like a hungry predator.
"Ahh, no, I just want to go toilet, please. Let me go!" her voice become more upset.
Ramse let her go with a victorious smile. He put his hands under his head and stared at Sienna who tried to stand up fast. She ran out of the grotto in panic. "What just happened? How could he make me feel like that?"Her head was spinning like crazy.
"Sienna!" Xander caught her by the waist and pulled her onto his hard chest. He felt her body was hot and her cheeks blushed.
"Good morning," he smiled and gave her a leaf full of berries."Today you spend with me again. "He smiled sweetly and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you," Sienna smelled the berries deeply. Their scent was so fresh and sweet.
"I need to go toilet. "she smiled and went to refresh herself.
Xander went to see Ramse. He was smiling and resting in Sienna's nest. Her scent was still lingering around and he was breathing it in.
Xander looked at him. Ramse looked so satisfied.
"What happened, you are so happy?" the panther asked curiously.
"I pressed her lower back and her body heated up."Ramse chuckled."You should see the panic in her eyes."
Xander smiled, "You see, just try to be kind again today. We should be passing around Sand City by evening. We will go around the mountains, so we don't meet any hunting scorpions or Sharchan. "
Ramse nodded.
"And when we will come to my tribe, we duel together to see, who will have Sienna first."Xander looked at Ramse with his dark sparkly eyes.
Ramse nodded slowly. He actually did not mind now, even if Xander won, as long he will help him to find the way to Sienna's heart or body. Whatever will come first.
"I also have some good ideas for you."Xander smiled with a secretive look.
"Why are you helping me so much?" Ramse asked.
"We bought her together, no? We both should go along with her." Xander smiled.
Sienna refreshed and went to sit next to the river. She looked at the crystal-clean water sparkling in the sun. She thought of Sharchan. His strong shoulders and wild eyes, the way he made her hot and the way he tried to dominate her. She chuckled and lowered her feet into the water.
Xander with Ramse went to look for her. They saw her eating berries and splashing her feet in the water. She looked so cute.
Xander came behind her." Ramse made something for you," he said in a quiet voice.
"What is it?" Sienna asked with a bit of worry.
"Close your eyes and don't move," said Ramse gently.
Sienna sighed and did as he said. Ramse sat behind her and started brushing her hair. Sienna sat with her eyes closed and did not move. She smiled a little. "So he made me a hairbrush," she breathed out in relief.
Ramse brushed Sienna's golden hair. They glittered on the sun as real gold and became soft and pliable under his gentle touch.
Xander looked at him and took one strand of Sienna's hair between his fingers. "If you are gentle with the hair, they became soft and pliable, but if you are rough they will break and die."He lectured Ramse.
Ramse nodded. The black panther made sense. He finished brushing Sienna's hair and pleaded them into the long plait. He secured it at the end with a soft piece of leather and add a little silver star trinket from his belt.
"You can open your eyes now, my little dove. It is time to go!"Said Xander and lifted her up.
Sienna looked at her long plait."Thank you, Ramse, is beautiful. I really like the star as well."She smiled.
Ramse felt that sweet feeling again. He liked to be praised." And my kiss?" he asked gently.
Sienna pecked his cheek ."Thank you." she smiled kindly.
Ramse was satisfied. "Xander's advice is working, he must be an expert on females."Ramse thought.
Xander sat Sienna on the panther again and both kings walked next to her.
Sienna looked at the handsome warriors thinking. "Xander will not fight Ramse off completely. He is trying to help him to be nicer." Sienna though."Maybe it will help Ramse to become a better person and a good king."Sienna decided to play along, to show Ramse, that being kind is working.
Ramse stared at Sienna. The long plait was like the golden line on her back. It looked so nice on her. He felt a bit proud." I made it for her. Xander had sure good ideas. "He thought.
"Tell me, Sienna, what are you thinking about?"Ramse missed the sound of her soft voice.
"That you can be so nice sometimes." She nodded her head."Are we close to Sand City yet?"
"We should see it at nightfall," Xander said.
Sienna nodded."I will surely miss your company. This was quite fun. I really needed a break."
Ramse looked at her in surprise."Come with us then."
"You know I can't. Immortal will buy me back. I need to bring out Sarcos's soul somehow or he will kill my mates one day. He is using it to blackmail me all the time."She sighed.
Xander looked at Ramse and put a finger on his lips. They are not telling her they will be passing Sand City.
"We can become her mates and then let her go to Sarcos if he will force us."Xander smiled cheekily in his mind. Ramse thought the same and he smirked at Xander. They understood each other quite well now.
"Maybe immortal will let you go if he will be busy with his new harem. I sold him quite a lot of females lately." Ramse said nonchalantly.
Sienna nodded her head."They were in a sorrowful state, you should be ashamed to treat females this way! I gave them away to the men in the city, Sarcos did not want to touch them."She said. "Immortal was raging. He punished me and made me dance in front of the
Dark Eagle King and that is how he took me."She said sadly.
"So you did not like Aiden at all?"Xander asked her.
Sienna shook her head."He took me to his dungeon."
Xander furrowed his brows."Did he hurt you?"
Sienna shook her head." No, I was too scared to anger him. Luckily he was very busy and he likes gold more than females." she said.
Ramse listened."So she was really happy we took her out then." he thought."So, are you happy we took you?" he asked her gently.
Sienna nodded."At least I know you a bit and I know you like me."She smiled.
Xander took her hand and kissed it."You are my brave little dove."
Ramse furrowed his brows."How can you be too scared to anger Aiden? Why you are not too scared to anger me then?"
" Because I see you all the time. You are getting more familiar, I guess," she said plainly.
Xander threw a small stone at Ramse behind Sienna's back."T, "he hissed with his teeth quietly.
Ramse nodded."I'm happy you get more familiar with me, we all be family after all."
Sienna smiled sweetly." In your dreams, Ramse." she thought, but said nothing.
They started to pass thru the dense forest and they had to go one by one. Sienna held tightly to the black panther's back. Ramse was walking in front of her and held the branches, so she can pass. Xander walked behind Sienna.
Sienna sighted. She started to think of what she will tell Adenou. "He will be raging. How I will get Sarcos out?" she thought.
"Ramse, do you know of any tribes with males who wear make-up?" she asked him.
"What do you mean?"Ramse called to her a bit surprised.
"You know as females do?"She tried to explain better.
"Are you insulting me again?"Ramse called back to her, but there was no anger in his voice.
"Not a face paint, like you. I mean painted eyes in vivid colours, pale face and elaborate clothes."Sienna chuckled a bit.
"The bird tribes like to dress up, "Ramse called to her.
"But not the birds of prey birds," Xander noted behind her.
Sienna nodded."And which tribes have a big harem of females for a king too?"
"The roosters."Said Ramse," All kinds of them."
Sienna nodded."It might be a bit tricky to find exactly, but he kind of reminded me of the peacock, when he painted his face."
Ramse chuckled."Did he paint Sarcos's face? He must be raging inside!"
Sienna nodded."He was more upset about that harem I think."
"Don't worry Sienna, Sarcos will find a way to defeat him, "Ramse said.
Sienna nodded.
"So you don't like the immortal at all?"Xander asked her.
"No, I like him a bit. But he is getting unbearable. He wants me to be like his slave. I love Sarcos. I just wish to find the solution soon."She whispered.
They came out of the dense forest and walked next to each other around the stony mountains. It looked badly dented. Xander looked at the melted rocks in awe."What is this Ramse? Was it a d..."Ramse pushed Xander away strongly before he finished the word." he pointed at Sienna, which was in front of them. "Never mention his existence near her or he will take her away. She has blue eyes and golden hair," he whispered.
Xander nodded. He was so glad Ramse stopped him.
"We just passed Sand City, "Ramse whispered to Xander.
Xander chuckled. "Aren't we clever? Haha."
They just walked out of a narrow stony pass, when the rocks started to move. "We have been ambushed!"The warriors called and formed a circle to fight.
"The scorpion army!"Ramse recognized the fierce men straight away. They circled them tightly with a sword in their hands. Ramse stood in front of Sienna with Xander, his hand holding his sword. He was ready to fight. Xander held his sword too.
The tall scorpion general came forward."Give us the queen and we may let you live. We are king Sarcos's legion."
Sienna hopped off the panther and squeezed between the Ramse and Xander. "Leave it to me," she smiled at them gently.
Sienna walked to the general slowly."Thank you for looking for me, dear general, but please, be nice to my saviours, king Ramse and king Xander. They had to pay a fortune to get me from the clutches of the Dark Eagle King. They protected me all the way and they are bringing me back to Sand City as you can see." she smiled sweetly.
The general nodded." The queen had the right to order the army during the day." he thought."She must have a reason to protect these two or she did not notice, she passed the Sand City already." he realized.
"Let us accompany you then." the general smiled politely. He will sort it out with his king in the Sand City. He sent a few warriors forward to inform the king about their arrival.
Sienna nodded.
Ramse and Xander stood speechless. They were thinking, they will be dead. They did not expect Sienna to save them. They walked next to her thinking.
Sienna smiled at them sweetly. She had to save them, she did not want to cause death to anyone. "Besides they were quite nice to me lately anyway. And Xander is so cute."Sienna sighed in her mind.
Ziran stood at the far back. He told the general to approach Sienna first because he felt strong bloodlust again Xander and Ramse. If he could, he would break their bones into little pieces. He sighed and followed like the last man of the army back to the Sun City. "Sienna will need me there. I'm the only one, who can help her with Adenou." he thought. He did not even notice, how much he changed from the extremely proud and brutish Lord Protector, he was before. He became thoughtful.
