Red As The Dawn

Finally the exclusive Silver royal family hierarchy has introduced its newest member to their

family tree. Seventeen year old Mareena Titanos  is the unrecalled daughter of the

notorious General Ethan Titanos of the Iron Legion, and his wife Lady Nora. She appeared so unexpectedly it was like she fell out of the sky, but she did, literally. Mareena appeared at

the Queenstrial where she fell from the servant’s balcony. Word was that she was hired that

morning to become a housekeeper to Queen Elara. Mareena leaned over the edge to get a

closer view of now future queen Evangeline Titanos’s performance where she fell into the

infamous lightning wall. Now here comes the plot twist. Anyone who even touches the wall

with even a mere cell of their skin will instantly reach the malicious clutches of death but,

Mareena didn’t. As the daughter of a Titanos she would certainly possess magnetron

powers but as the whole arena gasps “impossible”, the Silver powers as we know it has

gone into oblivion. Mareena enhanced the powers of lightning wall, absorbing them. The

expression of the Queen’s face was priceless but that was not what anyone was looking at.

Mareena possessed something that has never been seen before. There is no doubt is

anyone's mind that she is exceedingly powerful. Plus, with her arranged marriage to

Prince Maven, the second in line to the throne, her possibilities are endless. But everyone prays that Mareena with her vivid red hair better not rise as red as the dawn. The Scarlet
Guard (a Red terrorist organisation) has threatened to obliterate the invisible shield of false
security that the Silvers always lived under and they have already proved themselves more
dangerous and powerful than any Silver could possibly have imagined. And I can assure
you, the royal family will do anything in their power to inhibit Mareena Titanos from ever finding out, let alone joining, the elusive Scarlet Guard.
