The afternoon sun still shone brightly. Sienna looked longingly from her barred window. "I need some fresh air and walk "she smiled. "Let's go garden together!"
Xander and Ramse nodded and went with her outside. It was nice for them to see her happy again! Sienna did not worry that much anymore, she just waited for Sarcos to come back.
Sienna felt invincible, bewildered and happy."I can wait for Sarcos and Mathyas can do nothing to us!" She was twirling happily between the flowers. She looked at the blue sky in the old volcano opening over her head. "How long till I will be out of here?" she smiled at the white clouds."I will see you in the Sand City soon, little white clouds."
Xander suddenly growled quietly. It was a warning! Mathyas came into the garden! His pale face seemed a lot calmer than in the morning. "So, do you still like my garden?" he asked Sienna.
"It is mine garden." Sienna smiled."Yes, I do like it. Ramse made it really well, don't you think?" she chuckled.
Mathyas bit his lips."At least kiss me one last time!"
"No, I told you I am dead to you. I will be kissing your father from now on."Siena taunted him."I will kiss you when he will tell me to. On the cheek as a wicked stepmother."Sienna said seriously and pointed at her cheek.
"Are you really so obedient suddenly?" Mathyas chuckled."How did he do it with you?" he furrowed his brows.
"He saved me from you, he kept his word and he was kind. "Sienna nodded."And his deal is far better than yours."She shook her head.
"Don't tell me you will mate with my father rather than with me?"Mathyas was getting upset.
"Passionately!Sssssssh!"Sienna put her finger in front of her puckered lips. "Have a good day Mathyas, I'm too busy to talk now. I'm continuing my walk, "she smiled and turned around. Suddenly she felt Mathyas's hands around her waist!
"What are you doing? she asked him suspiciously.
"I'm not hurting you right now."He chuckled."I'm going to kiss you."
"But I do not want it, let go of me!" she pulled back and Mathyas flew away. The moment she resisted the necklace activated the protection! It was simply reading people's hearts and intentions!
Sienna looked at Mathyas's charred clothes."You flew well. As a burning eagle..."She chuckled.
Mathyas was upset."I will kill Xander and Ramse for this!"
"You can't!" Sienna put her hands on them," You can't touch them eighter." she hissed.
"Mathyas, stop embarrassing yourself, and be polite to my little queen!"Marath suddenly walked over. He was watching for a while and had a good show."You lost her, so deal with it as a man. Or do you want to fight me for her now?"Marath lifted his eyebrow.
"No father."Mathays shook his head.
Marath came to Sienna and circled her waist familiarly. "Sienna is mine now, her friends are my friends, so don't think about hurting anyone here, hm? "
Sienna smiled sweetly, this felt so good! She was grateful to Marath for protecting Ramse and Xander as well. Her heart felt warmer towards him even more!
"But I kissed her already father! I'm a king here, she can belong to me only as a queen!"Mathyas looked in unbelief."I have no female and you will have two now. It doesn't make sense!"
"Kissed her, kill her, she is dead to you!"Marath furrowed his brows." I saved her life, she is mine and I'm not giving her back to you." he shook his head.
"You can't be serious father, you are just trying me, you are not really taking her!"Mathyas shook his head in disbelief.
"Look, how serious I am."Marath leaned to kiss Sienna! Sienna smiled and felt her body tremble. She had really a chemistry going on with him! Sienna decided just to do it and kissed him passionately.
Mathyas stared, Ramse bit his lips, and Xander stood in awe."She really did not oppose him!"Xander's head was spinning. Mathyas could not watch and left upset!
Marath kissed Sienna for some time. It really felt like drinking from the spring of life! Marath felt that Sienna's fire-like energy is reacting with his magic! It made him stronger somehow. It felt good. He forgot about space and time and felt like a teenager again!
Sienna felt as if she is standing in the white space. There was a huge golden scorpion inside. "Come to me!" he was calling. Sienna come to him and the scorpion took on a half-human form. He held Sienna in his huge golden pincer, but she was not scared. He picked her up and Sienna kissed him passionately. It was not Sarcos, but she could not resist him! She felt her body tremble in pleasure. She wanted to mate with him badly."I'm here for you."The scorpion said."Come with me!"
Sienna felt as if she is falling down into a black space. The scorpion held her tightly. Suddenly she saw herself at the bottom of the volcano! The scorpion was walking on the boiling magma, still holding Sienna in his pincer. The dark cloud was slowly coming to them, eloping around, but Sienna was not scared. "How much do you want for your protection?" The scorpion asked the dark cloud.
"I'm full, I can't have any more for now. The power is too great."Sienna heard a familiar voice from the distance.
Sienna felt the scorpion start kissing her again. Her being trembled and she felt one with him. "Breath deep." he said to her."Go for now, but remember, you belong to me!"
Sienna felt manly lips parting with hers. She smiled gently and opened her eyes. She looked into Marath's face! He seemed glowing somehow. Sienna blinked her eyes. It was all kind of unreal!
When Marath let Sienna go, she blushed and her lips were swollen."Sweet as honey my little queen, "he chuckled. "I feel you."He kissed her forehead and went back inside in a good mood.
Sienna shook her head. She was coming out of a daze."What was that?" she whispered."What happened?"She asked Ramse who was staring at her.
"Are you ok? You were just kissing Marath, passionately for some time. Are you out of your mind?"Ramse asked firmly.
"Yes, I was. I saw a golden scorpion, and he kissed me. He was not Sarcos and said I belong to him!"Sienna stared at Ramse.
"I saw only Marath."Ramse shook his head.
"So who is kissing better? Father or son?"Xander asked a bit bitterly.
"Definitely Marath, he doesn't force me."Sienna nodded thinking.
"Well, at least you know what you are doing."Ramse sighed. "And you can wait safely, to see if Sarcos will come or not."
"He will come, I'm sure he will come! That scorpion paid for my protection to the dark cloud. Mathyas had a dark cloud before. It is Marath's magic, he must be the dark cloud."Sienna was mumbling. She felt a bit crazy. She clenched into Ramse's arm." Just walk with me some more, please. " She looked at him a bit confused.
Mathyas sat in his room. He was upset. He felt stupid that Sienna belongs to his father! He put the three skulls on his table resentfully."My friends." he sighed loudly.
Marath came to his room to check on him."Your friends?" he stared at his son.
"Yes, I have their skulls, but can hardly remember their faces. And one is missing, but I do not know which one. Maybe she still lives somewhere?" he asked hopefully.
"Maybe. There is a way how to recreate their faces, then you will know which one is missing."Marath looked at him.
"Will you help me?"Mathyas asked.
"Sienna will help you. She can do it."Marath looked at him seriously.
"Can I ask her in your name?"Mathyas bit his lips.
"Ask by yourself first, you will see how kind she really is!" Marath said seriously.
"You want to test her?"Mathyas asked.
"Life itself is testing you! Go ask her nicely."Marath said firmly.
"What if she refuses?"Mathyas was worried.
"Are you scared of her?"Marath chuckled.
"No!"Mathyas packed the skulls into a linen cloth from the table and took them carefully.
After the walk, Sienna calmed down a bit, but not too much! She had to keep thinking about that golden scorpion!" Who was he? Who is he to Sarcos? Where he really is? Does Sarcos knows him? Why I could not resist him? How can I belong to him?" so many questions were spinning in her head.
"I like to go to the drawing room to paint." she pulled Xander's tail playfully.
"Sienna?"Xander turned a bit upset."Don't provoke the panther! Have some respect!"
"Will you pounce on me?"She giggled wildly."I'm sorry, your tail moves so alluringly I could not resist!"
Xander shook his head and kept walking."When I will pounce on you, I will be the one laughing." he thought and licked his lips. "You will beg me for mercy, but I will not stop..." his imagination ran wild!
Ramse turned to her in a bit of unbelief. "You are still so wild! One will say you will be tired after a walk?"
"No, no, but you should go rest."Sienna looked at him. She could see he did not sleep at all."So you can watch me all night again."She smiled cheekily.
"And what I will be doing?"Xander looked at her curiously.
Sienna took Ramse's hand and pulled him to crouch next to Xander with her. She did not want anyone else to overhear!
"Xander, you will sneak into that laboratory and watch all night if you see any signs of Sarcos."Sienna whispered."So now you go upstairs with me and sleep under the window, till I paint. "She looked firmly at him.
"Ok, "Ramse noted."It seems you have a plan."They walked back by the dark corridors and dropped Ramse into his room. Xander then took Sienna up to the drawing room."At least let me carry you."The panther moaned."I need to get more tired, if you want me to rest." he smiled cheekily.
"Ok, "Sienna climbed onto his back. She touched his soft fur gently.
"Will you stop teasing me?"Xander growled."How I'm to fall asleep like this? You are making me all wild!"
"You are wild already!"Sienna chuckled."You are my wild black panther." she bicker sweetly with him all the way up to the drawing room!
