Sarcos let Sienna rest and went out of her room."Guard well Sid," he said to his loyal soldier waiting at the door."When king Sharchan comes, tell him to see me."
"Yes, my king," Sid nodded. Sid was in charge of protecting Sienna again. The young brown-haired warrior was working hard on levelling up. He knew his king trusts him and he has to live up to his expectations.
Sharchan finished the fragrant mushroom rice and went up the to stairs to bring it to Sienna. He barged into her room again, but she was not in her bed. " Sienna!" he called loudly.
"I'm here!" Sienna called from the bathroom. "I just went to have a quick shower."
" Don't be long, it will go cold, "Sharchan called to her impatiently.
"Yes, my love. "Sienna replied and went out shortly covered in the towel. Her face was a bit red from the steam and the towel stuck to her wet body. Her long golden hair framed her face and went down her back.
Sharchan's eyes lit up."Let me see you at least."He grabbed the towel and started to pull it off her.
"I'm cold, I just want to warm up," said Sienna blushing a bit.
"I will help you dry, you are still wet. You never dry yourself properly and then you are cold. That is definitely why you get sick." he still tried to unwrap her.
"You told me to hurry up!" Sienna held the towel with the last bits of her strength.
"I just want to help you dry, come on, don't be so bashful." he chuckled, pulled the towel off her body strongly and stared in shock.
"What is this?" he ran his hand on the healing bruises. He circled Sienna's hips with his arm and turned her around. He ran his hand at her back, then his hand pass the mark from Marco on her buttocks. Sharchan ran his fingers on it and felt a slight burn.
"This is not Sarcos's hand!" he looked at her sternly." What happened to you?"
Sienna's face was red. She tried to get out of his hold and take her nightgown. "I just mated with Marco. He was very wild after he kill that Kraken for me," she wanted to ease Sharchan, but he did not let her go.
Sharchan's eyes went into the small slits." How dare he is to be so rough with you! Only I can do that!" he was raging."I will make him pay for every little mark!"Sharchan started to count the bruises on Sienna's body.
Sienna straighten up and looked strongly into his wild yellow eyes. She did not want her mates to fight each other for nothing.
"Well, I liked it, so is nothing to fight about," she bit her lips." She grabbed a nightgown and put it on quickly.
" You liked it?" Sharchan stood in shock."Hey! Why are you covering up?" he called in disappointment.
" I'm cold. I think you stared at me enough!"Sienna hid under the covers.
"But I wanted to look at you some more! I really miss you so much."Sharchan almost whined.
"But I'm really hungry. I don't want your delicious rice to go cold." Sienna smiled.
Sharchan finally nodded and gave her the bowl of rice.
"It is just right, " Sienna relished. "Thank you, my love."
Sharchan watched her eat with satisfaction. "At least something from me you like." he sighed." You don't like me to touch you anymore."
Sienna finished her rice and sighted in her mind."Sharchan is such a drama queen again!"
"You can brush my hair," she said gently.
Sharchan picked up the brush and brushed her hair quickly. It was not the same as touching her body! He made a long plait for Sienna and covered her with blankets even more.
"Go to sleep now! I want you to be healthy soon!" he almost ordered her. "I need to talk to Sarcos, "Sharchan remembered suddenly. He went out of the room in loud steps. It was his way to show her he is not happy at all.
Sienna sighed."Another of his moods." she thought and went to sleep.
Sharchan went to Sarcos's office. The Scorpion King studied old books. He turned the book for Sharchan to see, it had snake warriors' pictures in it. Sarcos looked harshly at Sharchan."How many times do you need to level up till you stop hibernating?"
"Not sure," Sharchan shook his shoulders, "But I just levelled up last month. That's enough for now, no?"
Sarcos shook his head "You have to stop hibernating, it is a big weakness for a king." said Sarcos seriously, making strong Sharchan a bit ashamed."Let's train today."Sarcos suggested.
"Ok." Sharchan nodded." He did not want to refuse Sarcos's help..."At least I can vent out a bit!" he thought.
Sharchan and Sarcos went to the training grounds. Sarcos attacked Sharchan with a cheeky smile on his lips. "I will show him some fun!" he thought.
Sharchan felt like he is fighting for his life. The Scorpion King seemed to use more force on him than ever before! Sarcos fight with Sharchan till sundown. Tired Sharchan lay in the sand as a snake at the end. He was covered in small bleeding wounds and breath hardly.
"You need to be more careful when fighting!"Sarcos shook his head." You are going too easy on yourself and that is making you slow." he scolded the snake."Let's go hunt!" Sarcos suggested.
Sharchan was exhausted but pushed himself to go hunt. He did not want to look so weak to Sarcos. He felt so embarrassed, given his strength! Sharchan killed and ate one deer, then coiled onto the tree to digest.
Sarcos also finished eating, but he seemed full of energy."Let's go train some more! In the mountain pass. We can play catch with big rocks, it will be fun!" He suggested to the exhausted full snake.
Sharchan just wanted peace." I need to be in Crystal City by the morning." He slithered slowly off the tree, " I promised Tyrell, to keep his city in check."
"I can send Rem there, so we can train more!"Sarcos offered heartily.
Sharchan felt the cold sweat on his back." Your offer is so alluring but I gave my word to Tyrell. Please, give a kiss to Sienna from me. I will come to see her when she is a bit better."
Sarcos nodded."Of course, you have to keep your word. Have a good way!" he chuckled.
Sharchan sighed with relief." I got Sarcos off my neck for a few days." he thought. His body hurt a lot and he needed to rest. The scorpion beat him up badly.
Sarcos went to see the sleeping, Sienna. He planted a kiss on her forehead." This one is from Sharchan and this one is from me, "he kissed her lips gently.
The next morning Sienna was feeling much better. Sarcos gave her a few more tacky fruity medicine drinks, which she drank obediently and ate everything he brought her.
"You look much better."Sarcos sat next to her on the bed and touched her cheeks playfully.
Sienna nodded sweetly, "Thanks to you!"
Sarcos stared into her beautiful face. She looked so alluring!
"I had a really good rest."She stretched her back and chuckled.
Sarcos smiled."King Sharchan went back already, he has to watch over Crystal City. I think he got fun enough because he did not want to train more."
Sienna nodded."I hope you did not beat him much."
Sarcos shook his head."He was able to slither off quite well."
Sienna chuckled."Thank you." she said sweetly."Now he can count marks on his own body!" she laughed in her mind.
"What you like to do today?"Sarcos asked.
"Draw in the bed."Sienna smiled.
Sarcos nodded, " Don't overdo it, my love. Have breaks to rest as well."
"As you say."Sienna smiled.
Sienna got her drawing desk, papers and colourful pastel paints. She sat in her bed and draw everything that came up to her mind. She draw Nefari singing on the rocks in her mermaid form. "I will give it to her when she will came." she smiled in her mind. Sienna felt so relaxed to draw some more finally. Sarcos watched her for a bit. "My queen is so talented and adorable!" he thought.
Sienna was sleeping, drawing and eating all day, She felt so much better. Before sunset, Sarcos came to eat dinner with her. He sat her on the cushions on the terrace and covered her with warm blankets. Sienna breathed the fresh air and watched the sunset with him. "It is so nice here."She smiled. She felt so happy next to Sarcos.
Sarcos looked into Sienna's happy relaxed face. His heart was full of love for her. He will do everything in his power to keep her happy. And he was ready to get all the power in this world he could!
