Evening of fun and deals

Marco searched for Sienna in the garden. She was drawing something into her little sketchbook.

"Marco," Sienna embraced him sweetly."Thank you for your amazing present. I love the mermaid silk," she smiled happily.

"You don't need to thank me, you are my queen and I will do everything for you," he said coldly.

Sienna kissed his cheek." But I want to thank you, to show you how much I appreciate your gift." she chuckled."I will sew a nice gown from it. Look, here is the design." she showed him the neat drawing.

Marco nodded," I like it, but it is quite covering."

Sienna blushed."I need it to cover my bruises. They heal very slowly."She sighed.

Marco stared coldly. He felt sorry he was not more careful with her.

Sienna saw a bit remorseful look in his eyes.

" But at least they remind me of the hot night I had with you." she leaned into his embrace." You were so amazing, my stomach shiver, if I even think about it," she blushed.

Marco smiled in his mind. She surely liked mating with him. He circled her shoulders and held her tight. He felt his heart bouncing in his head. Sienna closed her eyes leaning on his chest. He smelled like pine trees. She relaxed in his embrace.

Sarcos with Ramse arrived at the gardens as well.

"Ahh, king Marco."Ramse looked at new Sienna's mate. He was very cold. Ramse looked at her smiling face next to the freezing ice block eagle."How could she like him?"He was wondering in his mind.

Marco stared at the Ape King coldly. He did not like him.

Suddenly a commotion broke out at the garden entrance. The burly voice was shouting loudly."Show me to the queen now."

Sienna smiled." Lord Ziran."

Sarcos nodded." I invited king Xander over."

Ramse nodded."He is nice. I like him."

Marco was quiet. He did not care a bit.

Ziran with Xander came closer to them.

Sienna was so happy to see the burly tiger.

She went up front to greet him excitedly." Lord Ziran, I'm so glad to see you! " she blushed. Ziran bowed and kissed her hands." Every day without you is as a year, my beautiful queen," he said in his brutish deep voice.

Xander bowed a bit while touching his heart, "I see you are well now. I missed you dearly." he looked at her with his sparkly dark eyes.

Sienna felt the butterflies raised in her stomach." Welcome, king Xander, please come join us."Sienna walked with Ziran and Xander to the gazebo. She glanced at Sarcos and went to stand next to him.

"Welcome king Xander. Lord Ziran," Sarcos welcomed them.

They all sat in the gazebo and talked.

Marco informed Sarcos about King Aiden.

"He is too sneaky," said Ramse.

"As anyone else here."Sienna said."I think is good to stay at least neutral, for the sake of his people."She pointed out."Aiden wants to take over the world. That is why he sold me, he just wanted to collect easy gold to have the biggest armies in the world."

"In his dreams," said Sarcos."I will not go neutral with him. I don't like treachery."

Sienna bit her lips."But what about his people, they would suffer for him."

"They are still eagles, I will take them in if they decide to leave their king," Marco said coldly.

"Good idea," said Sarcos."Make sure, he got no army left."

Marco nodded."I would try."

Someone slithered thru the wall. The wild yellow eyes glittered on the big copper head.

"Sharchan," Sienna smiled at the big snake.

"What a gathering, "Sharchan took a human form and forced his way to sit next to Sienna. She kissed his cheek, but still sat next to Marco from her other side.

Sarcos nodded at him. "Welcome Sharchan. "

"King Marco," Sharchan looked at the cold eagle who held Sienna in his embrace.

"You are king just over a few weeks and a hero already."Sharchan glared at him.

Marco was cold and nodded. He did not like drama much.

"How nice, you got so well together."Ramse commented on the kings."So, Sarcos is the boss here?"

"Yes, "Sharchan said between his teeth.

"He is the strongest!" Marco nodded approvingly. He did not really care.

"And who is stronger, Sharchan or Marco?" Ramse asked.

"Me! "said Marco.

"We see about that, you female snatcher." Sharchan raged in his mind."We settle it at training grounds," he suggested. He still blamed Marco for taking Sienna from the waterfall.

"Do it tomorrow if you must. Is getting late now. Let's just relax and play a game."Sienna decided sweetly.

"What will we play? " asked Ramse. He was always on high alert around her, not to miss an opportunity to get closer.

"Well, we sit enough. Let's s play some active game." Sienna said.

"I know very funny game. It is called " Simon said."But we can change it for "Sienna said"," she chuckled.

"You stay in line and ask me what is the time. I will be giving you different steps going forward and backwards. I will not look when you move. The one who reaches me first will be the winner."Sienna smiled ."This game has nothing to do with strength, so it will be funnier and unpredictable. The steps are the ant shuffle, the frog jump, the duck step, a lion leap and a horse run front and horse run backwards." She showed them the steps. The men looked interested.

"Who will cheat will be eliminated.No fighting, is just for fun," she reminded them again.

Sarcos nodded."It will be a fun game." he chuckled when he saw Sienna jumping like a frog.

"And the winner will get you for the night, right?" asked Ramse.

"Only my mates can get me for the night."Sienna nodded.

"That is not fair! "Xander pointed, staring at Sienna with his glittering eyes. Sienna could see the stars again in them.

"But if anyone else wins, I grant them a private walk in the garden," she said."And if you win Ramse, we can do some cooking, if you liked it so much."She smiled at him.

"No, I would take the walk. Sarcos forbid you to go kitchen without him and I agree with his decision." Ramse said carefully.

Sienna chuckled and Sarcos's lips curled up.

Sienna sent them to the training grounds.

They had to ask her, one by one, "Sienna, Sienna, what is the time?" Sienna would turn around and say," 2 duck steps," or another kind of step, whatever came to her mind. When someone came too close, she sent him to the horse backwards. The males found the game funny. They noticed she had no idea as they progress because she was turned to them by the back when they walked or jumped.

Sharchan, Ramse, Xander, Sarcos and Ziran laughed at each other making funny steps. Only Marco was cold and did what he was told. He was chuckling at them in his mind.

In the end, Xander was the closest one. He did a very long lion leap and reached his hands around Sienna's waist."You are mine for a walk!" he held her waist excitedly. Sienna nodded."You won."

Sharchan was almost sulking, he hated to lose to Xander.

"Don't be sad, we can play tomorrow."Sienna smiled gently.

The kings nodded and sat in the gazebo to chat.

Sienna with Xander went for a walk."Can you change to a panther for me? "she asked.

Xander nodded a bit reluctantly but changed. Sienna was so excited to see Xander as a panther. Her eyes lit up and she pet his head ."Aw, you are so cute."She hugged his big black head."Let's run around a bit!" Sienna giggled and run around.

The evening was fresh and was getting dark. The flowers smelled strong. She felt a bit wild. Sienna was playing chase with Xander in the garden. The big panter was playing as a cute kitten. Xander liked to play hide and seek.

The men watched from the gazebo with interest. Ziran shook his head."A king as a pet."

"Well apart from Tyrell and you, we are not many cute pets here," Sarcos sighted.

"Definitely not Ramse's Ape."Sharchan said coldly."She is petrified of it."

"Well, it is a predator, "Ramse noted.

"Haha, eating bananas and climbing the trees."Ziran chuckled.

"He can eat some raw meat now, is making me stronger, "Ramse noted proudly.

"Really?"Marco looked sharply at him."Maybe Ramse is chimera too..." he thought.

After the garden became too dark, Sienna and Xander came back to them. Her face was full of laughter and red from running.

She panted heavily." I bid you all good night," she smiled, "I'm so tired."She laughed so happily.

"So who is sleeping with you tonight?" Sharchan asked her seriously.

"My silken pillows."Sienna chuckled.

Sharchan grimaced his handsome face grumpily.

"You will, Sharchan," said Sarcos."I have some dealing with King Xander and King Marco tonight.

Sharchan smiled satisfied and circled Sienna's waist. "She flinched a little bit." Ramse thought as he noticed it with satisfaction. "Let the queen rest, she looks tired," he chuckled at Sharchan.

" That is up to me."Sharchan hissed and pulled Sienna away.

Sienna sighed and waved to them. Sharchan led her to her room impatiently.

Sienna went to a bath and cuddle up to Sharchan." Please, let me rest," she asked him sweetly. Sharchan nodded and put his hand on her eyes."Sleep for now."

His snake was raging wildly. He waited till Sienna fell asleep and he took her to his room. He put her on his bed and changed into a big snake. He watched her sleep. He listened to her deep breathing and rhythmic heartbeat to calm down.

Deep at night, Sarcos took Xander to his laboratory. He looked at the handsome panther." Thank you for protecting Sienna and teaching Ramse how to be kind." he noted.

Xander bit his lips."Will you agree on me to become Sienna's mate?" he blurted. Sarcos looked at him."We will spare and I see how strong you are."

"Why?" asked Xander.

Sarcos looked at him." I have to make sure, Sharchan will not kill you, it will hurt Sienna's heart. Also you need to be able to protect her if you want to take her with you." he said quietly.

"So you are not against me?"Xander opened his eyes in surprise.

Sarcos shook his head." I want her to be happy and if she wants a panther pet, so be it. You can come to visit for now. She likes to play with your panther." Sarcos nodded.

Xander felt so happy.

"Well, we can become a friendly nation and trade together officially if you agree."Xander offered.

Sarcos nodded.

"I like the same deals as Ramse and also like to add scorpion fight teachers, please," asked Xander.

Sarcos nodded."You will surely need new coins too?"

"Yes, I will need it, but I like to see Ramse's ones first."Xander nodded.
