The Monster King & The Witch Bride

Prologue

"Endless eons the monster king will wait,

Bride after bride, century after century,

Win her heart before its too late.

 lurking in the shadows a forgotten evil

patiently Waits,

For the immortal queens coming.

Her heart divide in two,

Darkness and light trying to conquer

The untamed queens heart the prize

Raw power with whom shall rule."

The witch let's out a sigh at the end of her chant and opens her eyes, " Well young king, you have your price should you desire to complete this spell. Each incarnation of your queen she will grow stronger but you will have to do more to win her heart. When you finally meet the immortal queen she will be your ultimate test. Will you be worth of her and the power she will posses?" She questioned across the flames.

He stared at her, she was a striking woman, with long dark curly hair that fell around her face, and top of her head a large head dress ordained with raven and dove feathers. Across her face black paint was streaked,

"You will take good care of my daughters, Darian."

causing her emerald eyes to glow.

They said she was the strongest and wisest of her kind, she seemed so young to have the knowledge and power everyone said she did.

"I will do everything and anything for my queen." He proclaimed

"Then it shall be, young king." She replied calmly and waved her arm. In an instant five candles began to circle her. Spreading her arms out wide and tilted her head back.

"I conjure thee, Regina Immortalem.

Cross into our realm, oh great Regina Immortalem.

I bind thee, Regina Immortalem "

As she chanted the last line each of the candles lit and wind came rushing through her tent, rattling everything.

"I summon thee to my circle, come forth great Regina Immortalem." She bellowed out her voice louder than the wind that rushed around them. Reaching out she grabbed the king's hand. " I bind thee to the king!"

The wind suddenly stopped and the flame shot up, taking on the form of a woman.

" You summon me, witch and you dare say you bind me. " it's voice echoed, turning her head to the king, reaching her hand out and placing her burning hand against his chest. "If you wish to capture my flame, I will make you walk the fires to claim it. " her voice boomed. Her hand seared his flesh. He pushed himself harder against her.

"I will do anything for you. I will burn for you and I will love you."

"We shall see." With that the flame erupted before flowing into the witches womb.

His eyes opened wide " I do not understand" he stammered

"It seems that your bride will be from my line, this is my price for casting the spell. The spirit was angry that I made demands of her." She chuckled

"Thank you, Exoltia!" He cried.
