Scarlets and Emeralds
Once, the Scarlet and Emerald tribes lived among each other in peace. They grew up among each other, played, and worked with one another, with no regard for the color of their eyes. But one day, that all changed. The Scarlet King began to control the minds of the Scarlets, forcing them to hunt down and kill Emeralds until there were none left. No one knew why or how the King came into the powers of hypnosis, but eventually the Scarlets came to accept that this was the way of life, and took their duties seriously. Emeralds were dirty, cruel, and heartless anyway. But what's the truth? When a young Scarlet named Rosalyn breaks free of hypnosis, her life is thrown upside down. She runs away from her city, who are now on the other side. Spencer is an Emerald who has lived his life in secrecy and poverty, fearful of the evil Scarlets who take the lives of innocent Emeralds without a second thought. But when he meets Rosalyn, the two realize they can work together to reunite the broken tribes and they agree to find out how Rosalyn broke out of hypnosis--and how to break everyone else out, too. And so they set off on a dangerous adventure that will either change the world--or get them both killed. P.S This is a collab. It's co-written between myself and another writer who goes by writerca383 online! She wrote the description too!
