The crazy competitors

Hight up in the Snake Castle armoury Sienna enjoyed her time with S because she knew that real Sharchan will not let her try anything...

S picked a big golden bow, arrows and his favourite sword."Do you like some weapons from here now my queen?" he asked.

"I will come with you here tomorrow to pick up some."Sienna nodded."It will be another two hours I will be spending here with him away from the bed." she thought cheekily.

"Ok, tomorrow then," S nodded."Let's go to the training grounds."

Sienna followed S down the stairs again. She was excited to see the training grounds because she could finally try out the weapons as well!S led them to the wide stony ground inside the castle walls. It was huge!

S took them to the stony corner with the targets on the wall."Let's do it here! So what do you like to see first my love?"S asked gently.

"The knife throwing, "Sienna said excitedly.

"Sure."S looked at Ziran."Ready bodyguard?"

"You might call me Lord Protector."Ziran grinned ."You should go first as a king, Sharchan."

"Sure, "S nodded.

"You will have ten throws each from different distances."Who throws more into the target centre wins."Sienna called to them.

S went to throw the knives first. His throwing was fast and excellent. Sienna clapped excitedly."You are so amazing, my king!"

Ziran threw the knives well too, he was fast and precise.

"Well done, Lord Ziran, I think you are even in knife throwing."She smiled.

"Hardly!"S noted."I'm surely better! "

"Let's continue then! "Ziran said excitedly. He was very competitive, especially in front of Sienna!

They both started to compete again. They threw the knives from so far, that target looked almost like a pinhead!

"They are not humans..."Sienna stared in shock at their amazing skills.

"You are still even!"She called after checking the target.

"Should we do some more?"Ziran grinned.

"No, I want to throw now!" Sienna said excitedly.

The men gave her the knives. It was so freeing to throw the knives into the wooden target! Sienna felt her worries and frustrations melt away.'"This is so great!"She called happily. She was throwing from a five meters distance and was so excited to have at least a few knives to hit the target well, which meant the knives stay stuck in the wood and were not splattered in the grass in her case!

"Your skills are really poor."Ziran looked at her. "I don't know what you are celebrating."He stared at the beaming Sienna and shook his head.

"For humans is harder to throw knives, you are so much better, but that does not mean I should not be happy with myself. I can't compete with you, but I can still enjoy the throwing."She smiled sweetly.

"Sure, my love. You hit the target and I'm so proud of you."S cuddled Sienna up in his arms and she felt so sweet. He was kind of protective of her without being rude and she really liked it.

"Let's do archery before it goes dark!"Ziran looked at the late evening sky.

"You can't see at night Lord Ziran?" S smirked.

"I can, but the queen can't. She will be not able to see your skills in the night."Ziran growled impatiently. He was annoyed that S is so likeable!

"We do have torches, Lord Ziran!"S chuckled. He picked up the big bow and walked far away from the target. Sienna stared as the muscular almost Snake King took the huge arrow and shoot it right into the target's bull's eye.

"No wonder they don't need guns."Sienna was in awe."They are simply too strong... "she thought a bit worriedly but clapped her hand's excitedly for S.

S and Ziran were both good at archery too...even from very far, far away.

"Also even!"Sienna called. "My turn now!"She picked the smallish bow, which was just the right size for her.

Ziran chuckled ."You look so dangerous my queen! Don't hurt yourself!"

"I can do it! " Sienna glared at Ziran and shot at the target. She hit the first arrow, but the bowstring hit her forearm painfully as she released the arrow ."Auch!" she shrieked.

"Are you ok my queen?"S came over to check her arm.

"I want to do more!" Sienna called excitedly, but the string hit her painfully again.

"You will have the bruise there. Stop my love."S smiled gently at her.

"You don't trust I can do it?"She glared at S.

"Of course, I trust you but I will have a leather arm protector made for you first," S smiled and kissed her forearm."Is it still stinging?" He asked caringly.

"No, "Sienna shook her head."You made it better." she blushed. He was so caring. Sienna smiled in his embrace.

"He surely knows how to talk to her."Ziran thought as he looked at them."Let's do the last round of sword-fighting, it is almost dark." he growled.

"Wait, wait, first you both have to promise me, not to kill each other!"Sienna called loudly. She just wanted to make sure of it, seeing their competitive nature.

"Sure!" they both grinned.

Sienna watched how S and Ziran stood opposite each other and drew the swords out.

"En Guard!" Sienna called. And they turned to her in surprise.

"It is the world to start a sword fight from my world, it means on guard," she smiled.

"Aha."They nodded and started to fight.

S slashed his sword against Ziran's. They both were fast and their swords were swishing in the air strongly. Their ringing travelled around the stony walls and echoed in the quietness of the coming night. Sienna watched S's handsome face and Ziran's brutish grin on his. It looked as if they have fun with their fighting. Well, Ziran was a master swordsman, so it was entertaining for the strong snake.

Ziran liked to spare with S because S was unpredictable. It was a new style for Ziran and he was eager to learn from almost Snake King. Ziran had yet to determine how strong S really is because the snake did not fight with brutal strength, but cleverly, so Ziran had to be extra careful and fast with him.

Sienna was not sure if they fight full-on but clapped excitedly. They were both amazing and it was interesting to watch. They finished fighting late at night. S won over Ziran who seem a bit overheated.S broke out the sword from Ziran's hand with some invisible movement, so Ziran stood in awe. It was so fast even his tiger did not notice it and that made him worry.

" Well done, my king!"Siena smiled and kissed S on the lips gently. He captured her waist and kissed her deeply."I want you my queen, don't let me wait anymore..." he rasped. Sienna was heated up. She got excited by watching them fight and she kind of wanted it. The only problem was that S was not his brother! She wished to have the real Sharchan next to her and spend the chilly night in his embrace!

Sienna wiggled out of S's embrace gently."You both were amazing and you won. You made me so happy! I love watching you, you are so strong and handsome, my Snake King." she touched his muscular shoulder." Please, go take the weapons back to the armoury my love and I will wait here for you. I like to watch the stars for a moment ." she smiled."And I will count how fast you can be there and back. I'm very curious. You both should run, I want to see how long it really takes you." she smiled provocatively.

Ziran looked at her wondering why she asked for it. He did not like to leave her alone there, but if he will be fast if be just a few minutes...He was a bit grumpy S won and wanted to show off as well...

" I can be back in the lightning speed, I can go myself, I don't want to leave Sharchan behind." Ziran smiled provocatively.

"You are a snail compared to me." S chuckled entertained at the tiger's brutish manners.

"Ready, steady, run!"Sienna sent them off and chuckled in her mind."They are listening so well..."

Sienna lay on the wooden bench and watched the stars."Sharchan, why is your brother so nice...I like him too now...!" she sighed. "But I still love you my Snake King." Sienna thought about her mates. Tigerish Tyrell, amazing Sarcos and strong Marco."I do have great mates!" she thought and fell asleep somehow.

S and Ziran ran the stairs to the armoury as crazy and tidied the weapons in their place.

"Why are we still running?" S asked him.

"Just for fun, I need the training."Ziran chuckled and closed the door of the armoury into S's face.S smiled and push them open so hard, that he rumbled Ziran off the stairs. "I will surely win!"S laughed on his way. He had so much fun with Ziran, he missed friends in the gloomy castle because his family was always so serious. They both ran back as crazy little boys trying to fight on the way...
