Amrya Sentel is the first red queen in history. She rules her country, Althern, is in its golden age. The people are happy, reds and slivers mingle freely, poverty is down, and employment is up. Amrya is even able to understand her abilities. But...
It took 3 days from to see Mare Barrow. As I sat on my balcony, basking in the early afternoon light, I saw her plane land.
I called for Sera, Mariana, and Juliet to get ready. I had decided to take a red girl from the orphanage as another lady in waiting. Her name was Annia, a girl of 15.
They helped me get into a new dress. They also helped fix up my hair and put makeup on me.

My ladies put on their blue, green, and gold dresses and walked out with me. I was greeted by General Lulona.
"Majesty." She bowed.
"Go meet our new guests." I said.
I walked over to her and whispered, "Make sure to intimidate."
She smiled, bowed, and walked away to greet them.
I walked with my ladies to the throne room. They got in their places while I sat on the throne. My mother walked not long after.
"Have you seen them yet?" I asked.
"Not up close. There are four people. Three girls and one boy, I believe." She responded.
I nodded and thought for a moment.
"She could of brought the whole army, but she didn't." I thought.
My thoughts were interrupted by the horns signaling that they were here.
"I suppose it's time to meet the lightning girl." I said.
"I suppose so." My mother said.
The guards opened the doors and in walked Lulona and the rest of them. I immediately recognized Prince Tiberus. He had been at my coronation and I saw him almost die on T.V.
General Lulona walked toward me. She bowed and walked up the steps toward the throne. She stepped into place by my left.
The rest of the group bowed and looked up at me.
"Prince Tiberus," I said in a cool tone, "I haven't seen you since my coronation, in person that is."
"Your Majesty." He greeted.
"Tell me-are you still considered a Prince even after you killed your father?" I mocked.
I saw a flash of something on his face. Anger? No. Sadness? No. It looked like regret.
"He didn't kill his father." Someone spoke up.
I looked over to see Mare Barrow. I raised an eyebrow amused.
"The one and only Mare Barrow, or is it Mareena Titanos? Perhaps you go by lightning girl?" I questioned.
"Mare is fine." She said, annoyed.
"And the rest of you?" I asked, looking at the other two girls.
"General Farely Your Majesty." The blonde one said.
