In the blue-lit room of the Dragon Castle, Sarcos helped Sienna to put on a new velvet dress while he sent Marco to the kitchen to fetch some warm drink and food. He wanted to make sure she would be feeling good before their flight home.
Suddenly, the door opened widely, and Thunder stepped in confidently as if coming home, probably because he thought he was in his castle after all! But for now, the strong Scorpion King claimed this room, and Sarcos did not treat intruders nicely...
"What are you doing here?" Sarcos growled at Thunder dangerously.
"I came to welcome you back into my castle..."Thunder grinned confidently.
"Keep your words!" Sarcos hissed.
Thunder furrowed his brows playfully and sized up the burly Scorpion King with his eyes. But Sarcos was ignoring him, helping to lace up his own Queen's dress like a caring overgrown maid.
Thunder noticed that Sienna glanced at him as well, but she just shook her head and bit her lips." She must still be upset with us," the Black Dragon guessed in his mind.
Thunder felt somehow ignored, so he decided to converse with Sarcos more.
"King Sarcos, aren't you a bit early? Didn't you say you would send Tyrell for tomorrow?"Thunder said in a sweetly friendly, mocking tone.
But Sarcos concentrated all his attention on tightening a ribbon at Sienna's waist. When he was done, he touched Sienna's hips to show her to stay where she was, and he came closer to Thunder. Sienna watched them with a bouncing heart. In all honesty, she did not have the taste to see Thunder's face ever again. His actions really hurted her, and she had had enough of him for now, at least.
"I promised my Queen not to kill you unless you provoke me. So be careful what you say."Sarcos looked coldly at him, but Thunder pretended not to see him and locked his eyes on Sienna instead!!!
"You look so good, my Queen."Thunder licked his lips. "Are you ready for me, my mate, I have a taste to mate!"Thunder rasped at Sienna hungrily. It was a clear provocation to remind Sarcos of his King's Law days with Sienna.
"I'm taking the Queen back with me," Sarcos replied firmly, not letting Sienna utter a word.
"I have one day left to spend with her."Thunder smiled confidently, but was sharpening his senses. This was a game between two Kings now.
"You endangered the Queen, so you forfeit your day...or do you want to fight for it?"Sarcos's eyes lit in golden fire.
"Sure, let's have a match outside."Thunder smiled confidently.
"I'm not leaving my Queen alone here. Let's fight right here."Sarcos looked at him resolutely.
"But my Dragon hardly fits in here, and I can't use any thunder!"Thunder furrowed his brows, dissatisfied.
"My Crystal Scorpion too...Be happy for it..."Sarcos smirked wickedly." Let's wrestle, bare hands only; whoever is first on the floor will lose."
"Ok," Thunder nodded, that sounded fair.
"Sienna, you will start us," Sarcos said to his Queen," On three."
Sienna watched as Sarcos and Thunder stood opposite each other. She definitely did not want to stay here another day in the Dragon King's company.
"Be fast, my love, I want to go home...One, two, three!"Sienna said in one breath, just to be over with it! She felt grumpy because she started to understand that Thunder was not himself when she met him!!! Sure, the gloominess was gone, and now he was a domineering King with forceful manners. She felt tricked...and really stupid...
"He was gentle before, and now he pretends he does not know what it is? Who wants to mate with a masochist?"She thought, upset.
Sienna did not know that the more she refused Thunder, the more aggressive towards her he would become...but could she stomach it? No!!!
Thunder felt Sienna's words as an arrow piercing his heart. Every time she refused him was turning him into a monster he tried not to be...his blood was boiling at the disrespect she showed him and he was sure to subdue Sarcos and show his Queen the good times his way...she is lucky he did not have a dungeon...
"How strong can he be?"Thunder glanced at the Scorpion King."If he could kill me, he would do it before and did not let me mate his Queen..." he thought confidently...
Thunder looked at Sarcos, ready to wrestle, he was thinking where to grab him at Sienna's "three", but then he felt pressure and everything smudged between his eyes...rocks breaking...stones falling and a huge hole in the ceiling...Thunder blinked his eyes...
Now the slow motion moment;
"Sure, my love."Sarcos thought as he slammed Thunder on the floor, and the Dragon King found himself in the room under Sienna's one, lying on the floor, covered in stony rubble!!!
"You lay on the floor you lost, "Sarcos noted to him, looking down the hole broken in Sienna's room floor."Do not provoke me more, or I will not be so nice."The Scorpion King added as he dusted his hands from invisible dust.
Thunder felt as if all of his bones were broken. The Scorpion King's power took him by utter surprise!!! It was as if the weight of the whole world was crushing on him in that fleeting moment.
"What was that?" Thunder stood up, shook off and walked the stairs back to Sienna's room, where Sienna was sitting on the bed watching Sarcos in awe. He was so handsome, and the way he smashed Thunder down felt strangely satisfying..." It was just the right amount of suffering and humiliation he deserved for my bitten nipples..."She thought.
"Want some more?"Sarcos grinned at Thunder, who had just entered the room again.
"No, you won."Thunder rather backed off a few steps. He was still confused about what had happened. He was used to winning effortlessly and this was a shocker for him. A long-needed cold shower to his ego!!! Thunder understood he had lost the match and that he had to fix this floor now, and he did not want his castle ruined by Sarcos for nothing. He had already lost his day with Sienna, and there was nothing more he could do to get it back. Thunder looked at the hole in his floor and did not comprehend the speed Sarcos broke the stony floor with his body. It was impossible!!!
"Why are you so dumb and stupid?" the Black Dragon was crying in Thunder's head..."When will I see my mate again? You dummy!"
"Shush, we wait till he feels safe in his castle and snatch her from his bed at night..."Thunder bit his lips, upset. He did not like how Sarcos ordered him around...and wanted a sweet revenge...
Thunder stood in the door thinking and staring at Sienna when he felt a punch to his hurting ribs..."Make way!" the voice, cold as ice, ordered him from behind...Marco just came back with the tray of food for Sienna, and he startled dazed Thunder to move!!! The Dragon King felt like an extra unwanted obstacle in his own castle!!!
"What is this?"Sarcos asked Marco as he scrutinised the food he brought for her.
"There was nothing else suitable."Marco shook his head.
"Your hospitality is very poor, Thunder," Sarcos looked at the boiled potatoes with butter and salt pitifully...
"It's ok, it will do." Sienna sat at the bed eating warm potatoes fast, she was nervous with three of them inside of her room. She wanted to finish it and just go away before Sarcos would change his mind and do something worse to rude Thunder...
"Can I talk to my Queen at least?"Thunder asked, still shocked by his fall from grace.
"Can he?" Sarcos looked at Sienna..
"Sure," Sienna nodded not very eagerly."Till I eat..." she sighed.
Thunder came closer to Sienna carefully under the boing gaze of Sarcos and the unnervingly cold gaze of Marco. That Eagle was staring at him like at the prey, and it was an entirely new feeling for strong Thunder. It was unsettling."Well, I can surely beat him, "Thunder thought, trying to calm down and concentrate on his beautiful Queen, who was munching potatoes with salt and butter.
Thunder crouched by her bed and tried to make seductive eyes at her.
"Sienna, you can't leave me like this, you are my mate, and they are laws..." Thunder tried to change her mind...he somehow understood that only she could persuade Sarcos to leave her there...so a little manipulation could go a long way...
Sienna listened while stuffing her face, but the handsome Dragon King was actually getting on her nerves right now!!!
"How dare he? To demand something of me? Did he not promise to love and protect me?"She thought but replied nothing to him till she ate the last potato, with the last melted piece of butter and the last sprinkle of salt. Then she drank the warm peppermint tea in one go and placed the empty cup on the tray and locked her blue tiger-like eyes with Thunder's golden ones.
"I finished my food, so this conversation is over. Thank you for your concern, you can write me a letter with an apology and a plan for how you plan to mend our relationship."Sienna said firmly to him. Then she stood up and went to Sarcos.
"But?"Thunder looked at Sienna with a quiet surprise, she was more confident somehow with Sarcos's backing.
He felt tricked suddenly!!!
"She surely played sweet and nice to lure me in, and now they will try to enslave me!!!"Thunder felt so unfair and stupid that he got caught by her tricks....
"I will see you for my week then..." he said to Sienna, trying to save his face...
"I will expect your letter first. Stay well, Thunder!"Sienna farewell him as Sarcos led her out of the room. Marco followed after, and Thunder decided he would also go, but he felt like a dog following her. So, he waited a bit by the window thinking, and till he was ready to go, he saw a huge Sea-Eagle with the golden-armoured Sarcos and his beautiful Queen wrapped in blankets lifting up to the dark night sky...
Thunder watched as the eagle got lost in the dark clouds, together with his adversary and his precious load and felt his heart clench painfully. She betrayed him, refused him, humiliated him to the core..."I will teach her who is a Dragon King!!" he roared upset. He paced up and down the room, feeling stupid and abandoned, then the idea struck him!!! He stopped and opened the window calmly.
Thunder whistled to call his messenger. The young black dragon flew next to the open window almost instantly. "Call me Darren and tell him to ready my armies," he ordered him and the messenger left immediately. " I will show King Sarcos what it costs to take my Queen from me."He thought coldly."He decided to call on a Dragon war and destroy all the cities of Sienna's mates!!! " Then we will see how cocky she will be, when I will be her only King left." he thought revengefully but smiled at the thought of her almost involuntarily.
