The Crimson's Promise

PROLOGUE

Crystaphina, my dragon came running to me. I turned around from my dresser mirror to face her.

Her huge emerald wings were folded behind her back and she was panting hard. She was not used to all this running. She was the flying kind of dragon. But she possibly couldn't fly within the palace. She was humongous and might break something.

I dismissed my chambermaids.

"Your majesty , his highness Talon is waiting for you by the secret door in the garden. He says that he is deeply inquisitive to know what you have got to say to him......", my dragon telephated me.

I nodded . I was elated. At last it's time to tell him the happy news!

I told her that I would meet him and that she should go and get her duties as the military commander fulfilled.
She bowed and left.

I got up from my stool and opened the secret door in my room that leads to the garden.
I used my magic to open a portal that transported me to Talon.

He was standing with his back towards me.
I ran and jumped on his back and hugged him.
He laughed.

I grinned.

He put me down gently and gazed into my eyes. He took my face into his hands and held them as if it were the most precious thing in life.
I felt my internal organs zing with a profound energy at his touch. I felt a strong sense of lust and also a growing sense of power within me.

This was the problem . He was not meant to be mine. It was not what was there in the destiny. I was not meant to be his.

I was The Crimson- Mother and Queen of all evil. An immortal. A darkness . A curse.

Here was Talon. A mortal. An innocent. A white light.

When my family, the Immortals got to know that I was in love they were mystified. I was Evil. I was the Devil. I was not supposed to be capable of love.

But yet here I am. In love with the soul mate I was never meant to have. Drowned deep in love, I can't just imagine anything without him.

The bigger obstacle to our affair was the fact that he was a mere mortal! Being a mortal meant that when you love an immortal , you too become one. Thus, Talon becomes one of our kind after he gets close to me.This was the news I wanted to tell him. Thus the previously mortal being enhances the power of the one who is was immortal by becoming one.

However when an Immortal and Immortal come together there is nothing much to add to the already existing power . None of the partners change into an Immortal. There is no change.Therefore the people remain the same way.Their existing combined powers don't grow.

However the problem is that there aren't many Mortals here in Igynomika. So very few Immortals have a Mortal as their consort.Mortals are considered more of a hybrid species here in our world. Talon himself was a person recruited from Earth for laboratory tests . The Igynomika people want to create more Mortals in our world primarily as slaves and ones who would increase their Immortal abilities.

I am a righteous Mother. Always withholding justice. There had never been any problems that are worth speaking of under my rule as a Queen for 200 years. Yes my age is 216 years. But I don't look a day older than 15 years.

So here I am with Talon gazing with his eyes that seemed to penetrate and break my soul. He had his hair partitioned across the sides and had made a small pony at the nape of his neck. His chocolate brown hair had escaped in small wisps from his band and was lightly tickling my face which was not an inch from his. His well defined face looked like that of a well chiseled diamond. His high set cheekbones framed his small eyes within them . His long thick lashes touched his cheekbones as he closed and opened his eyes every 10 seconds. His green orbs were so deep and depth less. His fuller lips were not even a millimetre from my ravishing red ones. I could not help noticing the way his warm breath fanned across my cheeks making them flush.
