Bab 121: In the night garden
Vultures got the guarding duty over Crystal City. Voltoire was supposed to be their captain, but he could not as he was still Sarcos's slave. The vultures chose Voltoire's old rival then and that made Voltoire grumpy. He sneaked out to meet with his old friend.
Magnus was bound to Crystal City, still working for Tyrell, as he needed him, but not as a City Head. He was also a slave, even though Tyrell treated him nice, Magnus started to resent him. Voltoire wanted a bit of revenge on Sarcos for making him his slave. They met in the Tiger Castle cellar.
"I need eagle guards back to the city," said Magnus. Vultures are not that strict and only act out to save females, they let males fight freely. It was a lot of fights in the city lately and much property damage. We need the eagles." Magnus started.
"How, when the Sea Eagle Prince is banished? The Sea Eagle King withdrew his offer," said Voltoire.
"Let's give him what he wants," said Magnus with a cheeky smile.
"You want to give him the queen?" Voltoire felt uneasy.
"Not exactly, just take her somewhere, where he can pick her up." Magnus smiled cheekily.
"What if Sea Eagle King finds out?" Voltoire was worried.
"Prince said he have only him as an heir, so he should be allowed to keep the queen and we strike the new deal...Now we need the excuse to take the queen out of the city."Magnus said.
"She should be visiting Sarcos soon," said Voltoire. "I can offer to take her to Sand City, as eagles are gone."
Magnus nodded."This is our chance."
Magnus needed to be friends with the eagles, they were the best and coldest soldiers in the land. He was putting together a grand plan for revenge and he needed an army so big it was never seen before. He would sacrifice anything to accomplish this. It was the sole reason for his being.
Magnus met the Sea Eagle Prince in the caves behind the city. Voltoire helped him to sneak out. "Your highness, I can see you like our queen, but she did not even have time to meet you properly. She will surely like you."Magnus bowed deeply to the spoiled prince.
Damian nodded."I want her for myself. I'm willing to pay you Magnus." he said confidently.
"No need, I only require the guards like before. I'm doing this for my city, not for personal gain." Magnus smiled.
"I will talk to my father, once I have the queen."Damian nodded. His amber eyes shone with lust. He could never forget that silky hair and beautiful face. He was ready to claim the queen!
Tyrell and Sharchan let Sienna spend time with Ziran in the garden. Sienna felt sad. Her heart hurt and was upset that Ziran has to go." Why does Xander have to choose him of all strong warriors?" she thought." Well, he is the strongest one here, apart from kings," she thought. She decided to create nice memory of her for Ziran. She will probably see him in spring or later, which was a very long time. She put on a silk dusky-pink dress, which matched the evening sky.
She came to the garden as sunset started. Ziran was waiting for her with a loudly beating heart. They sat on the bench and Sienna leaned on his strong shoulders they watched the sunset quietly for a moment, and then Sienna look up to him." Ziran, You are my best friend here, "she told him.
"Just a friend? "he asked in a raspy voice.
"Well, I like you more than a friend, but I do not want to keep you from living your life. If you ever see anyone you like, just go for it. I will be happy if you be happy."Sienna smiled at him.
"Is this farewell forever?"Ziran furrowed his brows.
" I hope not."Sienna chuckled.
"You know my heart beats for you".Ziran said and stare into her eyes.
Sienna nodded."When you became a king and I will be still in your heart, tell it to me again."
"The sundown will finish soon. I will be running at night."Ziran said and lifted Sienna up.
"Have a good way my brutish tiger." Sienna hugged him.
Ziran leaned closer to her lips."Will you kiss me for luck in the fights?"
"You don't need luck in fights with your strength. I will kiss you because I hold you dear in my heart."Sienna smiled.
Ziran felt his heart pounce. He held Sienna's waist and went for a kiss. Sienna opened her lips a little. Their lips met in the middle. Sienna felt the slight tingle, she felt how much passion had Ziran for her and she smiled. Ziran kissed her deep. It felt like he poured all his brutish being and his burning heart into that kiss.
Sienna was getting breathless, so he let go of her lips reluctantly. Sienna blushed and ran her hand on his cheek. Her body was shaken."I was wondering if you will keep that kiss going on all night like our dance."She chuckled.
"I wish," Ziran said.
"Fight well my brutish tiger."She kissed his cheek.
"Stay well my queen." he kissed her cheek as well. Then he changed into a huge brown tiger. Sienna let him go with a painful heart. She got used to him a lot.
Ziran ran out of the castle like crazy in big leaps. Her kiss burned on his lips. He ran thru the jungle to the panther tribe. His head was drumming from excitement and he felt bewildered. He could hear his heartbeat in his ears. He needed to become a king.
Sienna slid back on the bench and stared at the starry sky. Her tears were running down her cheeks. She felt as if she lost someone dear for a time.
Then she remembered Sarcos. She missed him a lot too. She will be going to him the next morning.
Tyrell with Sharchan came to see Sienna in the garden. They sat on her sides and stared at the stars with her."Don't be sad, " Tyrell dried her tears with his fingers. Sharchan sat next to her quietly, he was hurt in his heart. He just sat there thinking and cursing his stupid legacy. If he did not play the games with her, he could hide her just for himself. He saw how much Sienna is showing her personality when she is not scared and has the support of powerful Sarcos.
Sharchan was secretly hurt, that he is not her strangest mate. Tyrell stood up, " Come to sleep my love, tomorrow morning you need to travel to Sarcos again. He is back at Sand City and he wants to see you."Tyrell sighed. Sienna kiss his lips. "The time goes so fast with you two. "She looked at Sharchan who stood up as well. She smiled at him and kissed his lips gently. Sharchan held her waist and pull her to himself strongly. Sienna felt her body react to him. Sharchan smiled and kiss her neck from behind."Go to sleep." he said a bit coldly. Sienna glanced at him and nodded. She was too tired to address his dramatic mood.
Tyrell left Sienna in his bedroom and went to see Sharchan. Sharchan was looking at the horses in the stables. Sarcos's horses were still in there." Even his horses are better than yours!"Sharchan petted the head of the beautiful stallion Storm. Tyrell nodded."You are right. How much do you think he levelled up? "he asked Sharchan.
"I have no idea, we will need to find out when we see him, "Sharchan said thru his teeth.
Voltoire came to the stables nonchalantly." Why would you travel so long to Sarcos, if I can just drop her there faster." he smiled sweetly." Tyrell you have so much work here and you Sharchan do you want to look like Sarcos's servant ?" he said a bit sneakily.
Tyrell nodded." That will be best, she will be not so tired from the long horse ride."
" But why are you so eager to go to Sarcos? Are you not feeling more free here?"Tyrell asked.
" I need to go Sarcos anyway, I belong to serve to him now..."Voltoire was trying to convince Tyrell with Sharchan eagerly.
" What do you think? " Tyrell asked Sharchan.
Sharchan was a bit upset with Sienna because she liked Ziran too much and growled." Whatever you think is best."Tyrell nodded "Then is settled, you be taking Sienna tomorrow, be fast. We see you tomorrow morning."
Voltoire smiled sneakily."How stupidly confident are these two." he thought.
Sarcos come back to Sand City. He noticed the red sunset above the desert and send his wild falcon in the middle of the night to inform Tyrell about a huge sandstorm which was coming. He asked him to take Sienna one day later. Magnus saw the bird of prey flying to the castle and rushed to Tyrell's office just in time as Sarcos's falcon landed. He took the note and burned it. He fed the bird and sent him back to Sarcos with Tyrell's mark. Then Magnus went to find Voltoire, "There will be a storm tomorrow. Hide in the cave if the storm will come early." he smirked at him. Voltoire nodded and left.
