On the cold foggy morning, deep within the snowy mountains, the procession of the Royal Dragon Family walked to the freezing lake. The proud King Thunder and his worried son with beautiful Princess Sorcha. She was carried by her mate hardly breathing... Her face and long golden hair were covered in a translucent white veil, secured by a thin golden string, making her look even more innocent. Her face was pale and her eyes half-closed in pain but even in her predicament, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Everyone felt sorry for the fair Princess, cursed by the current Queen, who attacked her with her black magic and even mesmerized the King himself!
"Goodbye, evil Queen, your magic will hurt me no more!"Sorcha's soft pink lips whispered weakly as they all watched the tightly tied-up witch Queen being dumped through the ice hole into the lake! The dark freezing water closed over the evil Queen's head and she became just a distant memory...
"I can breathe again..."Sorcha took a deep breath and kissed Dagen's lips as if a miracle happened!
"It is done!"Sorcha turned from Dagen to hold Thunder's hand lovingly, "I'm so sorry for your lost father-in-law. But now, we are all free from her cursed black magic...I know her betrayal must still hurt, but you did not like her for real, she just mesmerized you." Sorcha tried to coax somehow confused Thunder." Now we can start our happy family again..." she smiled when a huge shadow overtook the sun!
Sorcha watched as the burly Scorpion King descended on a huge black monstrous dragon! Sarcos was raging as he grabbed Thunder's shoulder roughly.
"What you did to my Queen?" The raging Scorpion King shouted at Thunder...
"You mean your witch, she was guilty of treason and attack on the Royal Family, so I dealt with her as such...."Thunder noted coldly."She is dead...in there..." he pointed at the frozen lake...
The blue fire blasted from Sarcos's hand and the big blue diamond was everything that left of Thunder!
Suddenly the raging Scorpion King turned his eyes to Dagen...
"Oh no, please spare my mate, we are innocent, we could not stop the King, he was so cruel..."Sorcha whispered with her soft pink lips."As my apology, I can only give myself to you...The beautiful young golden-hair Princess hugged the Scorpion King's feet. Even the sun came out and shone on her long tresses, to make her look even more beautiful!
The Scorpion King's upset face lit up immediately as he saw the gentle golden-hair female holding his feet. She was looking so much younger and even more beautiful than his previous Queen!
"Do not kneel, Princess Sorcha, you are so beautiful...I'm honoured if you will become my mate...the strong Scorpion King lifted her gently..."Here, your old mate can me my servant Dragon King and you..." he looked into her beautiful blue eyes as if he had forgotten everything at that enchanting moment...
"Yes, my King?"Sorcha asked gently.
"You will be the Queen of the World!"Sarcos declared lovingly."I will give you everything..." he smiled at her.
"Thank you, my King..."Sorcha nodded cutely."You made such a lovely diamond from that dragon, can I have a ring from it?"She asked cheekily.
"Sure...I will have a room made of diamonds for you, so everyone sees how much I love you!" Sarcos picked up the blue diamond and held it in his closed palm with a smug expression, his eyes glued on Sorcha. When he opened his hand the beautiful golden ring was there! He stuck it on Sorcha's finger.
"You are spoiling me, my King..." she smiled.
"I will not have it any other way..." he clicked his fingers and Sorcha's dress was made of diamonds and gold suddenly!
"Only the best for my beautiful Queen!" he smiled and circled her waist tightly to lead her to his big black monstrous dragon.
"You see?"Sorcha thought as she looked at her hand..."You are the ring now! That serves you well for refusing me!" she thought satisfied. A while ago, Sorcha was actually sent by her mother to the Dragon Castle to become the Dragon King's mate but as he was not interested, she chose rather to stay with Dagen than face the wrath of her mother! "At least the Prince is handsome and in love with me!" she thought then and agreed to be Dagen's mate instead..." I won!" she watched the shiny blue diamond on her hand as Sarcos lifted her to the monstrous dragon's back!
"Sorcha, Sorcha, "Sarcos whispered in her ear as they lifted up...
"Yes, my King?"She whispered.
"Are you ok, Sorcha, my love?"She felt a soft kiss on her neck.
"Yes, my King."She giggled.
"I'm not a King yet, "he said confused.
"What?"Sorcha turned around and opened her eyes abruptly.
"Sorcha, you are so beautiful my love, "Dagen was kissing her neck and awoke her from her daydreaming...
He became worried because Sorcha just stood by the window as they returned from the garden and did not move for some time.
"What are you doing ?"Sorcha pushed Dagen away from her in a daze. The handsome Scorpion King was gone and her mate was looking at her confused. Sorcha felt displaced! The feeling of victory she imagined was so sweet, the Scorpion King so manly... she already missed the feeling of being the Queen of the World...and that golden diamond dress...
"Are you ok?"Dagen touched her forehead carefully.
"Sure, I was just...thinking!" she sighed.
"Sorcha, what were you thinking about so long?" Dagen asked curiously. She seemed frozen up there.
"My plan!" she whispered and licked her lips when she imagined handsome Sarcos.
Meanwhile, Thunder went to see his son. He stood in front of Dagen's door and hesitated when he suddenly heard them talking and Sorcha giggling!
"Are you sure it will work?" Dagen asked Sorcha.
"Definitely! Your father will be here soon." she giggled.
"You looked like the Queen really hurt you!"Dagen chuckled.
"Am I a good actress or not?"Sorcha called to him seductively.
"The best one!"Dagen nodded.
"Now your father will think she is a witch and deal with her as a such!"Sorcha nodded satisfied." I should be the only one with golden hair. It will make you look more powerful when you take the throne."She chirped to Dagen happily.
"But I'm not strong enough to challenge my father, yet. I was thinking you would take this slower."Dagen shook his head.
"You silly boy!"Sorcha chuckled."When King Sarcos finds out that your father treated his Queen as a traitorous witch he will surely kill him. He will become a little blue crystal."Sorcha chuckled."You can make me a ring from it. Then I seduce King Sarcos and become Queen of the World." she moved her long hair nonchalantly.
Dagen noticed that they were not as golden as Sienna's one. Her blue eyes were cold and a bit vicious now.
"Are you sure you really love me?"Dagen asked.
"How could you think about that? I went inside the crystal for Life Force to get it for you."Sorcha shook her head cutely.
"But how did you open it?"Dagen asked.
"It is a secret, "she chuckled."Kiss me now, I want to look blushed and breathless."
Thunder stood in a daze. He could not believe that his son and Sorcha plotted against him. He felt like a fool. He turned around and walked into the garden mindlessly. His happiness did not last long!
"Sorcha is after Sienna and my kingdom, plotting with my son! What am I to do?"He thought as the deep feeling of betrayal eloped his heart. Thunder changed into his dragon form and flew high, then he dived deep into the icy lake. The cold water helped him to cool off, so he just lay in there thinking and repeating everything he heard in his head. He remembered that he treated his new Queen roughly when she told him what happened. "She is not the liar then!" he bit his lips and decided to see Sienna. Thunder changed into his human form, went to pick some fruits from the kitchen and walked fast to his room.
He opened the door and saw Sienna half naked sleeping on the bed. Her eyes were red from crying and bloody scratches were framing her scorpion mark.
"What happened Sienna?"Thunder asked confused by her state and awoke her.
Sienna flinched at his touch as he turned her around.
"Thunder," she looked at him with teary eyes."I want to go home," she whispered.
"No, you are my Queen. Here is your home too. I found out my son is manipulated by Sorcha against me and you."He said hardly."There is nothing I can do to change his mind." he sighed.
"Give him a little place to live and make them move out."Sienna bit her lips.
"You are right, "Thunder nodded." I will give them Northern Bridge Manor. That will cool them off," he added.
"That is your decision," Sienna nodded.
" Would you come with me downstairs for dinner, to let them know?" he asked.
"What if Sorcha will play another bewitched theatre?"Sienna scoffed.
"I will deal with it, "Thunder kissed her hand.
"Ok then."Sienna nodded. She stood up and got ready. Thunder watched her as she brushed her golden hair and put a warm cape around her shoulders. Her face was still a bit red after crying and it made her blue eyes stand out even more. Thunder felt the urge to mate, but restrained himself. He had a job to do. Teach the lesson to his son and ungrateful princess Sorcha!
When Thunder and Sienna arrived at the dining room, the young couple was not there yet. Sienna sat down next to Thunder and started to eat the soft bread buns with blue grapes slowly. She had no lunch and was hungry.
Dagen and Sorcha came a little late. Sorcha's face was blushed and ethereal, she could hardly walk.
Sienna did not even look at her. She felt sorry for the foolish girl. But Sorcha did not sit at the table, she shuffled with Dagen straight to Thunder instead!
Sorcha kneeled in front of Thunder." Father, we should leave. I'm afraid to stay longer here." she sobbed..."I'm being attacked by dark magic." she whispered as her eyes turned upwards and her body jerked on the floor violently.
"Please, Sienna let me go! No, that hurts so much!"Sorcha started ripping her dress while rolling on the floor wildly, pretending to gasp for air! Dagen tried to protect Sorcha from hitting her head and turned to Thunder upset."Father, do something!"
Thunder watched Sorcha and Dagen with interest and then he turned to Sienna.
"What do you think happened to Sorcha?" he asked his Queen.
"Poor girl, being so stupid must surely hurt! She is in immense pain. Please forgive her."Sienna looked at Sorcha coldly.
"Father, Sorcha must be bewitched by your new Queen!"Dagen called out as he stared at Sienna and his father in unbelief.
"Yes, yes, the evil stepmother. "Thunder nodded."To protect you both, I'm giving you the Nothern Bridge Manor, to cool off your wicked act." he decided.
"But father, it is in ruins!"Dagen furrowed his brows in displeasure.
"Yes, you can fix it together with your mind."Thunder nodded."Work heals. It will be good for both of you."
"Sorcha, did you hear? You are leaving today, get packing!" Sienna ordered the wicked Princess firmly.
But Sorcha still lay on the floor motionless in denial that her amazing plan backfired!
"I si not understand! I told her to get packing but the girl is still lying on the floor! She must surely play everything, my King. I'm not a witch then!"Sienna shook her head satirically.
"It seems so."Thunder glared at Sorcha, so Dagen rather picked her up.
"But father! Your Queen, she was going after me too!" the misguided Prince tried to salvage at least some of their lies.
"Dagen, I love you, but I know what you were up to! I will come to visit you in a few days. Then we talk!"Thunder said firmly." Here, take this token to enter Nothren Bridge Manor and go." he threw the round decorated stone on the leather string to his son.
"But father, we need to pack first and get ready."Sorcha bit her lips. She hoped to come up with a new plan as she packed.
"Is getting late soon, you need to leave immediately to arrive by nightfall."Thunder noted coldly. "Here, Princess." he unhooked a heavy decorative tapestry from the wall and threw it onto Sorcha like a coat! "You are ready now, go!"
"I will show you for this!"Sorcha hissed to Sienna revengefully.
"Have a pleasant flight!"Sienna said coldly as she watched Dagen jump out of the window and change into a strong black dragon. Thunder helped Sorcha to sit on Dagen's scaly back and then the young couple disappeared into the horizon.
Sienna watched as Thunder looked after them from the wide open window. The cold wind was swishing towards his face and burly body. |He looked like a figure of an abandoned King. He just lost his closest family...
Sienna knew this must hurt him, but she did not feel so sorry for him at all! Although she was happy with how he handled this matter, she was upset with him inside of her heart because he still did not even apologize!
