In the Sand City arena, the games were in full swing while people shouted and cheered loudly but Sarcos was bickering with his queen sweetly.
He tried to explain to her again that the guards who did not do their job well should be punished, but Sienna was just joking with him.
"But my love, I should punish you then if you like the idea so much..." Sienna said to Sarcos with a seductive hint...
Sarcos swallowed at the idea of a hot night and stared at her.
"Well, I'm all yours. You can punish me how you see fit." he inhaled her scent deeply as his body reacted to her...
"What? Do you really want me to punish you tonight?" Sienna chuckled cheekily.
"Well, there is no one else here who can have power over me," he smirked at her excited by the idea.
"You are right. "She nodded." I will punish both of you then."She nodded.
"Both?"Sarcos tilted his head.
"Yes, you and that guard."She noted.
"Why him? "Sarcos looked at her curiously.
"Because he failed to guard me, I'm his Queen," Sienna said seriously. She did not want Sarcos to punish him because she was worried about Sarcos's strict measures.
"OK, I leave it with you then. But do you know how to punish him?" he asked curiously.
"Sure."She noted."But it will be nothing compared to your punishment."She lifted her eyebrow and Sarcos felt his heart flinched in expectation. She held it tight in her soft hands.
Sienna smiled satisfied and cuddled up to Sarcos more to watch the games.
"Are they Crocodile's Warriors too?"Sienna was surprised to see a group of men in uncomfortably familiar attire come in. They were in colourful armours which shone brightly among the sandy arena.
"The games are open to all friendly nations."Sarcos smiled. "Rem invited warriors from everyone who you painted for a coin." Then he looked at her a bit longingly."You still have to paint me and Tyrell, I hope you did not forget about us..."
"Of course not."Sienna kissed his lips."I will do early as you let me."She smiled at him.
"Good, because I long for my new pretty coins...from my talented Queen.." he noted seriously and kissed her fingers. Sienna giggled and glanced at the games again...
"They look so scary, "she looked at Crocodile Warriors in their animal form. The crocodiles were fighting with each other savagely...
"Don't watch it then." Sarcos kissed her deeply and Sienna closed her eyes relaxedly...she was flying in the clouds till he stopped.
"Sarcos..."Sienna whined but glanced at the cheering people. They looked up to the sky, where the flock of Eagle Warriors were showing off their skills...
"Wow!" Sienna watched in awe..."I miss Marco..."She thought but did not say anything. It was her time with Sarcos now...
The eagles were flying as a spectacle and fought in the air, keeping everyone cheering excitedly. Rem planned this game to be varied and interesting using the advantages the warriors had, to make it like no game before!
When the eagles finished, one winner stood in the arena and a small group of all different kinds of warriors came out. They were the winners of competitions...One fierce crocodile, one scorpion, one snake and the tiger Sienna tricked...The gong sounded and they started to fight against each other in the vicious fight.
Sienna watched holding her breath and Sarcos's hand tight.
"Why do they fight so ferociously, is it not just a game?"She asked Sarcos.
"Yes it is a game but they want to show up in front of you."Sarcos smiled."
"Why? "Sienna asked. "The best one can become your bodyguard," Sarcos noted.
"Is it such a great position?"Sienna asked.
"Sure," Sarcos noted..."You need more guards."And the winner also gets three chests of gold." he added.
"Aha," Sienna nodded...
At the end of a hard-to-watch fight, the strong young tiger won. He bowed to Sienna and went out of the arena proudly. He made it! He proved himself in front of the trickster Queen and Lord Ziran...
"The friendly match between Lord Protector Ziran and Captain Bran was announced.
"Not again..."Sienna sighed and furrowed her brows...
"Why are you cringing...?"Sarcos asked surprised. It looked like she did not want them to fight.
"They were fighting behind my back and Bran beaten Ziran."Sienna sighed.
"So, let Ziran have his chance to retaliate."Sarcos smiled and adjusted Sienna comfortably in his lap.
Sienna watched as in the arena the two of her friends and bodyguards clashed their swords together!
"I will beat you up this time." Ziran grinned at Bran.
"You already passed on the opportunity to become my King!"Bran chuckled. The proud tiger was a bit annoying for him so he accepted his challenge only to put him back in his place.
Ziran attacked Bran ferociously. He wanted to get back on him for beating him up and bruising his handsome face so humiliatingly...
The match was full-on, but Bran seemed winning. He had no intention of playing fights at all! Surprised Ziran changed into a big tiger and Bran into the eagle.
Sienna watched them while pressing Sarcos's hand tightly.
"Why do you look so worried?"Sarcos asked her.
"Is getting too bloody."Sienna bit her lips."I want them to be on good terms with each other."She noted."Do you think we should stop them?"
"No, they are strong enough. I'd like to see how Brand can fight in his Eagle form as well. "Sarcos nodded.
Sienna sighed and turned to watch the fight again. Ziran was bleeding from many points of his tiger body, Sienna noticed that Bran was ripping into his skin and the tiger had no regard for pain. The red bloodlust was in his eyes and he only wanted to kill the eagle before he would die!
Bran's Eagle saw that the Ziran had no intention of giving up, so he just continued to rip into him! He had no other choice!
Sienna understood that Ziran would not admit defeat in his pride and rather die than lose to Bran again...
"Ziran is fighting to the death..."Sienna looked at Sarcos worriedly...
"It is his decision..."Sarcos nodded watching with interest...
"I was thinking it was a friendly match...I did not permit them to fight to death!"Sienna bit her lips. She was upset at the reckless tiger.
"So?" Sarcos looked at her softly. She was so cute with her funny sensitivity!
"You said I need more bodyguards, so I'm not letting one of them die for his stupidity!"Sienna wiggled nervously. Sarcos let her go free and watched what she would do curiously. It was normal for the warriors to die rather than give up even in a game!
Sienna stood up. She looked at the arena full of people watching the fight eagerly and cheering. Her heart was pouncing wildly but she was decided.
"That's enough! Bran and Ziran stop the fight right now!" She called to the huge eagle ripping into the big brown tiger..."I did not permit you to fight to death!"Sienna said firmly and watched as all the spectators stopped cheering and looked at her in shock.
Bran glanced at upset Sienna and let go of Ziran's tiger. This was unexpected but he welcomed her order. He will not like to kill her friend and make her sad. He liked her.
"So, who is the winner?" The game-keeper asked a bit sheepishly looking at the unusually firm Queen. The arena was deadly quiet. Normally people would "booo" if someone stopped the fight, but as Sarcos let his queen do it the people did not dare.
"There is no winner this time. It's a Queen's tie because I stopped them. They both are my bodyguards already so the prize doesn't apply to them!"Sienna nodded.
She watched as Bran and Ziran changed into their bloodied human forms and stared at her in unbelief. No Queen ever did this in the middle of the huge games!!!
"Go wash both of you and I expect you to be ready for duty tomorrow..."Sienna looked firmly at them and sent them off with a nod of her head!
Ziran felt like a beaten dog...He felt that he lost and he didn't like it. He wished to be dead! The Queen decided to save him and it hurted his ego enormously...His tiger was raging and even though they got some flowers from the other females watching he didn't feel good about it.
Bran walked firmly behind him, he did not care what anyone thought and was quite happy not to kill Ziran. He knew it would make Sienna upset, so he was content with her order.
"You might continue..."Sienna smiled at the game-keeper and sat down quite satisfied...
Sarcos pulled her to his embrace lovingly."You just humiliated them publicly."He whispered to her entertained..." I bet Ziran would be rather dead..."He chucked.
"So what? I'm their Queen. It was too hard to watch!" she shook her head. "They don't know when to stop!" She said firmly...
Sarcos smiled at his queen. She was getting more confident next to him and he liked it...
