I am a creature bred pure
My skin lustrous with a dust of gold
I warn you as I’ve warned many, I am treacherous
Seduction I have learned how to master
The weak have fallen before my sword of power
I am the Queen of the land of the night.
I dwell in the land of the night
I drink the life of the pure
I reside in a court bedecked with gold
With others of my race, like myself treacherous
I killed the King and am now master
I wield the darkness a profound power.
Manipulation and seduction my power
I slither under the cover of night
I cower from the light that is pure
I live lavish with riches of ruby and gold
I possess a great temper; to cross me, treacherous
My human slaves bow down and they know me as master.
Trebajin was one over whom I was master
She was a human, weak, one of no power
She became a slave to the land of the night
We took her thinking she was chastise and pure
Her skin was like silver and her hair was almost gold
She walked with pride, the attitude of the treacherous.
She was skilled at circumventing the treacherous
She was close to the former master
She laid in his bed; seduced by power
He wrapped her in the arms of the night
How could he be attracted to one so pure
But my body he still longed for, a lust for gold.
It was my skin reflecting gold
That was slit by Trebajin the treacherous
She avenged the King, bearing his child she became master
That mere human came and she stole my power
She of day now rules my home of the night
I was defeated by a girl I thought was chastise and pure.
A mirror of pure silver weaved with gold
In which I see a woman who was treacherous and was master
My conqueror blindness for power and my ache to rule my home my haven of the night.

Impressive
Like a movie playing out in my mind with very creative visual imagery at large in this. I have not read your story but if this is any indication damn your instincts to write a saga within are great. -
