Going out with Sharchan

Sienna made a beautiful purple flowing gown. She was so excited to use scissors again, that meant Sharchan trusted her, as he did not want to give her anything sharp before. She decorated it with little golden trinkets she found inside the small chest. She was so excited to go out with him.

When her gown was ready, she dressed up and went to see him." What do you think about my new dress? "she asked." Is pretty, but too long, "said Sharchan. " I prefer to see your legs," he said with a smirk. "If it is for you I can run around naked, I know!"Sienna pretended to be upset with him." I prefer the long dress to go out," she said." but I will make short one too, for just when I'm around you," she promised.

Sharchan smiled and changed into his half-snake form. He was wearing a black silken shirt and a gold chain around his neck."He does look like a king..."Sienna sighed. He picked her up and slither to the nearby (in his sense only as he can slither very fast through the mountains ) bigger village. "They have a summer festival here tonight and I want you to see it!" he said to Sienna. Before they entered the village Sharchan changed into his man form completely. He wore black leather trousers and pair of magnificent boots as well. "Wow, "Sienna gasped."You look so handsome my king." Sharchan smiled and took her hand. They walked next to each other holding hands like lovers, which felt so nice for Sienna, she did not see this side of Sharchan yet.

Sienna looked at the lively scene. The big meadow was full of tents and stalls, in-between were eating, walking and dancing people. She was enchanted by the view. They walked together between walls of fire, set up at the entrance. "They have saying if you pass through the wall of fire, it keeps the love strong forever" Sharchan smiled to Sienna. "I think kindness, knowledge and understanding keep the love forever."She smiled at him. "And lots of mating!"Sharchan coughed under his nose.

"What do you want to see first?" he asked her." I will leave it up to you." she said."But I like to dance with you today." She smiled at him with a challenge in her eyes.

Sharchan smiled."You think I can keep calm and dance with you?" "I hope so..." Sienna said, "If you got too naughty I will step on your toes!" she gave him a cheeky smile.

"That will really hurt me..." Sharchan murmured satirically and slap a kiss on her lips. Her smile made him too hot.

I want you to see the tournaments first, he said and pulled Sienna towards the fighting grounds lighted by balls of fire. The men in light bronze armours were riding horses and have a series of challenges to prove who is the fastest and most efficient. They had to collect steel rings with fire, flowers and ice on the wooden rod, without damaging them. It was a bit like a knight tournament. People shouted and were excited to watch.

Sienna watched the competitions with a happy smile, squeezing Sharchan hands. " The winner will get a new house in the village and right to mate with a female he chooses," Sharchan said."If you were not my queen, I will not be taking you here."Sharchan said. "Like he can choose even female with mates?"Sienna asked."Yes, is normal here, females have many mates as they are scarce, but as you are a queen, you can only have kings by your side, so it is no risk here."he said confidently.

"Besides, kings are not to compete, it would be unfair to other warriors...Kings can only compete to kings or lord protectors, as they the strongest ones," he added.

Sienna listened in awe and was clapping her hands with the crowd. It was so exciting to watch. Sharchan was happy she liked his idea. He was watching her happiness and felt so satisfied.

After the tournament, he took Sienna to listen to a singer. The beautiful song was enchanting people, who gathered to watch."She is a mermaid..."Sharchan said." They can entice men with their singing, but not me..." he said nonchalantly. Sienna liked the mermaid. She had beautiful blue hair and purple eyes. Her singing reminded Sienna of the ocean. She watched with a smile."Can we give her a present for her beautiful singing? Sienna asked."If you wish to..."Sharchan replied. "I would like to give her this seahorse bracelet," she took the golden bangle from her arm. It will remind her of the ocean," she said.

"Don't you like it anymore?"Sharchan furrowed his brows." Yes, I do, seahorses are one of my favourites, but she might like it even more."Sienna smiled kindly.

Sharchan nodded and pointed to another warrior. We like to meet the mermaid after the performance." he said. "Yes your highness." the men nodded.

Sienna truly enjoyed the signing. After that Sharchan took her to see the mermaid in her tent. She smiled at Sienna politely, and Sienna gave her the bracelet." I love your singing."Sienna said," it was beautiful. Here is a little gift for you. "

"Thank you, my queen," mermaid bowed her head, my name is Nefari, I'm from Light Sea mermaid tribe and this bracelet will remind me of my home." she smiled. "I was thinking mermaids lived in the sea only," Sienna asked with curiosity.

"I had a dream to travel," Nefari smiled, "I will come back to see eventually. "she said, but her face saddened. "Do you sing your highness?" Nefari asked?"Sienna shooked her head..."Not much, I prefer drawing and sewing," she said." But I like to dance."Sienna added. "Me too," said Nefari, "I have to introduce you to my dance tutor, she lives in Crystal City. Maybe we can practise dance together..." she laughed. "I would love to and please call me Sienna. "Sienna nodded, she was excited to make a friend.

" What a lovely name my queen, it suits you. I will go to Crystal City in a few days. "said Nefari."That is amazing, so I can see you there," Sienna smiled.

Sienna hugged the mermaid goodbye and went with Sharchan. "I still own you a dance," he said and pulled her between the dancing mass of people. Sienna was ecstatic. Sharchan hold her waist tightly and was leading her in fast melodic music. Sienna was so happy, it was so wild night for her.

After dancing, Sienna wanted to eat something but was quite late in the night. "I think I have some fruits," she said with a smile. "Ok, "said Sharchan," but after that, we go back, is already the next day. "Can't we sleep here? "Sienna asked." "No," said Sharchan," I need to have you home by morning." Ok, "said Sienna, "he must have some plans, "she thought. Sharchan picked her up and changed into half-snake form, and then he slithered all the way to his grotto with her. She was sleeping soundly in his arms already when they arrived, so he just put her into his nest and embraced her.
