Prologue: Red and Blue...



A haze of brutality...

The scream of horror died within him…

 He felt as though his head was about to split open with pain.

Hot and steady flow of blood had his hair completely drenched and sticky. His eyes were burning and the world seemed to be painted with the ghostly shade of violent red.

No other coherent thought came to his mind than run!

His survival instincts kicked in as he staggered along the line of trees, clutching them for the support. All he knew was he had to get out of this hell. His mouth was dripping blood and his hands were shaded with dried blood. He couldn’t see anything in front of him; yet, the fact didn’t seem to hinder his steely determination.

Blindly groping through the dense wilderness, he lurched on to a clean road and but his escapade had consumed all of his energy leaving very little for his brain to function and before he knew it, darkness consumed him and he fell mightily onto the ground.

 A gunshot…!

The man slumped onto the floor, dead.

Blood seeped from his temple, where the bullet had hit, shattering his brain to pieces.

Should she feel remorse?

Should she feel guilty of killing someone just because her plan failed?

Yes, she should but she didn’t…

For a feral rage had gotten the better part of her conscience, not that she had any…

She looked down the man lying at her feet with a bored look on her face. No emotions at all. No pity, no sympathy that she had killed one of her most trusted men out of sheer fury. There were lots of men under her. But she was the only one.

Unthinkably powerful and unbelievably sharp, she was a genius. However, her ingenuity wasn’t used for perpetuation, instead used for devastation…

She was fire… the one that reduced everything in her way to ashes. But she didn’t burn in the blaze for she was the flame… The blue flame… One who was the ultimate in power!
