Meanwhile, Tyrell arrived at the tiger tribe's lands. The falcon caught him on the way with the note Sienna is safe with Sarcos and he felt lighter in his steps.
Tyrel went to talk to his father about Magnus.
Tyrell's father was a Tribal Chief. He was a strong and fair tiger with white hair and blue eyes. He was very muscular as Tyrell too. He looked more like his older brother than his father. His name was Tyrion. Tyrell's mother's name was Ellaina. The parents, who were in love, often used joining half names of their own to name their first offspring.
Tyrion welcomed his son with a strong hug." Why are you so sad today? Are you not happy with your queen?"
Tyrel shook his head." Well, it is kind of about her. Magnus betrayed me twice already for a chance to get her mated to another king."He bit his lips."She was in danger of being killed for that. I do not know why he is doing that. Is definitely not for gold, Magnus just works the whole day, I have a feeling is something more than caring about a city. Now Sharchan is calling for his head, but I feel wrong. I want to know the truth."
Tyrion nodded his head."Let me tell you a story," he sat his son under a shadowy tree.
"Young Magnus was a scholar, he was always reading books and studying maps. He was not interested in females at all. But one day in the Crystal City Library he met beautiful Odeia, she was from a tribe of Southern Tigers. She loved to write poems and read.
They read together in the City Library every day and they fell in love. Then the delegation of Odeia's father had to return. Magnus asked him for her hand as a mate, but her father laughed at him and said, he will give her to him when he became Head of the Crystal City. He meant it as a joke, but Magnus promised Odeia he will come for her.
Magnus worked very hard to become Crystal City Head. He prepared a beautiful house in the city for Odeia as well. He even got dresses and shoes ready for her. It took him entire 5 years. Then he gathered gifts for her parents and went to the Southern Tribes full of expectations.
But as he arrived, the Southern Tigers Tribal Chief told him, that Odeia and her father never came back. They were ambushed by the wicked Wetlands Crocodile Tribe. They have a cruel mage who sacrificed captured females to their crocodile deity.
Magnus dropped the gifts and went to search for her. He found out the crocodile females saw her enter the sacrificial pit with others, there was a gush of light smoke and all the females were gone. The deity had taken them. Magnus was still hoping and was searching for years, welcoming travellers from far and wide, but nobody heard of her. He had to assume she is dead and it broke his heart."
Tyrell furrowed his brows. The story of Magnus made him a bit sad. Now he understood his actions more."Do you think he is planning for big revenge on the crocodile tribe?"Tyrell asked his father.
"In that case, he will need the strongest armies with different abilities. "Tyrion nodded.
"Do you think Odeia might be still alive?"Tyrell asked.
"Well nobody saw the dead bodies, so they still might be a chance." said Tyrion." Unless you believe that a deity could take her," he smirked a bit satirically.
" I will go find her," Tyrell said.
"Be careful my son. The mage Crodius is cruel, dark and sneaky. His biggest weakness is gold."Tyrion said worriedly." You should take king Sharchan with you or even better king Sarcos."
"Sharchan is watching over my Crystal City, and Sarcos just won over the Kraken. He is still far." Tyrell showed his father the note from falcon.
Tyrion opened his eyes wide." You have extremely strong brothers then. I'm not worried about you anymore. But still, be careful and when you come back I wish to see your beautiful queen as well. Especially mother is excited. She is already making dresses for her and she wanted to ask her size."
Tyrell smiled." Kiss mother for me, I'm on the run to find Odeia for Magnus. I will bring my queen soon." he turned to tiger form and left.
Tyrion looked after him, he knew why he did not go to see his mother. Ellaine will not let him go for weeks, once she laid her eyes on him. She was cute and loving and was heartbreaking to refuse anything to her. And she used it well. Tyrion smiled."My son is a king with the strongest brothers and the most beautiful and kind queen."
In the Sand City, sick Sienna had to drink fruit juices and medicines Sarcos was making for her. He decided she needed more vitamins and was stuffing her up.
He also brought her a few times a day a bowl of soft rice with peaches or with vegetables. Sienna ate and sleep, but she still felt sick.
Sarcos send a letter to Sharchan, that Sienna is not well and the snake decided to come to visit. He missed Sienna greatly. But first, as he arrived in Sand City, he went to talk to Sarcos. He caught him in the kitchen. Scorpion king was mixing some medicine concoction with fruit for Sienna when Sharchan approached."Why did you not call me to fight Kraken?"Sharchan asked him straight away.
"No need, it was just a butchery."Said Sarcos nonchalantly squeezing fresh oranges into a bowl.
"Still, I can't believe, my snakes go to you first! I gave them an order and they bring news to you instead!"Sharchan complained a bit.
"Good they did, I could get everything ready on time, thanks to your order as well," Sarcos nodded approvingly.
Sharchan calmed down a little." So when can I take Sienna to Crystal City?" he asked a bit impatiently.
"When she is well enough, "said Sarcos, "Tyrell is out, so just visit her here for now. I do not want to neglect anything about her health," said Sarcos seriously.
Sharchan bit his lips. There is no arguing with Sarcos. He is too powerful. His snakes told him he and Marco with their men killed the enormous Kraken in less than 15 minutes and they also told him how he barreled Kraken's body up! Sharchan was shocked. He decided to be even more careful around him."I like to go see Sienna," Sharchan smiled.
"Of course, she is in her room."Sarcos let him go and continued to mix his fruity experiment.
Sharchan ran up the stairs impatiently. He could not wait to see Sienna's beautiful face. Sienna was still in bed when Sharchan barged in. "My Sienna," he kissed her hands." I missed you!" he hissed as it was her fault she got stuck in the storm. Sienna looked at him," I'm so happy to see you Sharchan, "she smiled.
Sienna looked very fragile when she was sick. Her face was very pale and her blue eyes watery. Her nose was a bit red and her lips opened, because she breathed thru her mouth. Even her voice sounded muffled. She had no strength in her body and Sharchan felt it. He found it very alluring.
"So when can I have you again?" he asked very straightforward and kissed her lips softly. His hands wandered under her blanket. He wanted to feel her body.
"When I will be healthy."Sienna smiled tiredly and pushed his hand from her breasts. She found it too heavy in her state.
" Well, mating is great medicine when you are sick, I promise you will fill better after I...," he tried to kiss Sienna's lips but she sneezed and sniffed...She turned her head to the side."You can't kiss me for long, I can't breathe thru my nose." she sighed and took a tissue to wipe her nose.
Sharchan frowned impatiently. "I don't like when you are sick. You need to be more careful about your health." he pointed his finger at her as a scolding teacher.
"Well anyone can get sick."She smiled at the petty snake.
"Not me, "Sharchan scoffed.
"Well, I saw you poisoned, it is almost so bad as being sick."Sienna reminded him. "And it was actually your fault because you should check the herbs from your brother if you knew he is sneaky," she said and closed her eyes for a moment, she was too tired to bicker with him.
"You are no fun today, "Sharchan frowned.
"Well, I'm not well, I'm sick and tired." Sienna sighted." And a bit hungry."Sienna open her eyes again. She hoped Sharchan will let her rest.
"I will make you some mushroom rice," Sharchan said.
"That will be amazing. Your mushroom rice is the best."Sienna nodded.
"I will be back soon, You can sleep for now."Sharchan tucked her more under her blanket and went to the kitchen. On his way down he passed Sarcos who just went to feed Sienna with his concoction.
Sharchan stared at the green drink. It did not look very appetizing at all."I hope you will make her better soon. This is ridiculous!"He was raging.
Sarcos looked at him seriously and Sharchan calmed down immediately." I'm just going to make her mushroom rice." he noted innocently.
"Thank you." Sarcos nodded.
Sarcos came to Sienna's room. She lay down with a sad expression. She sat up as she saw Sarcos coming with the drink.
"Is Sharchan upset with me because I'm sick?" She asked Sarcos innocently.
Sarcos furrowed his brows and brought the glass to Sienna's lips. She took a sip and stared at him, the tears at the ends of her eyes. Sienna was very sensitive when being sick.
"What did he tell you?" Sarcos asked worriedly.
"That I'm no fun. Like it is my fault I feel so sick."Sienna sniffed looking pitifully. She felt hurt in her heart and craved Sarcos's attention.
"Don't worry my love." Sarcos caress her cheek and looked into her big glassy blue eyes. She looked so fragile to him now. He will shatter the world to pieces if it makes her better. He petted her head softly. "I will give him fun. He will be not bored anymore." Sarcos smiled cheekily.
"You are the best."Sienna smiled and held his waist in an embrace. Sarcos ran his fingers thru her long golden hair and kissed her forehead."Anything for you my love."
Sienna felt so warm and loved. Her dark mood disappeared in instant. Sarcos gave her the glass again."Now finish it!"
Sienna glanced at the cup. Then she looked at Sarcos's face and drank the big cup in one go. It was very sweet, but she did not have the heart to refuse him anything, because he was so caring to her. Sienna will do anything for Sarcos!
Sarcos smiled and kissed her forehead." Well done my queen. Now rest!" he tucked her into bed. Sienna nodded and closed her eyes. Sarcos's drink tasted sweetly tacky but made her feel nice and warm inside.
