Episode 18 ...

Scarlet threw her legs forward, taking every step with purpose while a long entourage of stunning maidens trailed behind her. The one leading the maidens was Eireen, who had this cheerful smile on her face while walking behind Scarlet, looking proud and ecstatic.

Each individual Scarlet walked passed automatically knelt down to the floor and bowed their heads in greeting towards her. With this, Scarlet felt a little boost of confidence as she slowly climbed the stairs to the infamous 'Crimson Throne', the seat where Scarlet had been sitting for hundreds of years while governing the lands of Gehenna with her strength

Scarlet turned around, pulling the train of her dress behind her. She sat on the throne with all the grace and elegance the original Scarlet usually displays in front of subjects.

Then everyone in the throne room was quiet still as Scarlet looked at the different beings in front of her with an emotionless expression on her face that the original Scarlet always has during occasions like these.

"Rise." Scarlet ordered with the calmest tone she has. When they all stood up, her eyes searched for Eireen and saw her standing next to Eigeel. And beside Eigeel were five imposing beings with powerful auras standing in front of her and the first one she saw was Silver.

She's standing on the far left side of the line. And based on her memories, Silver is the chief of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan and also a member of her Scarlet Order. She can shapeshift into a wolf and a human anytime she wants but her wolf ears and silver tail remain even in her human form. She is beautiful, as she is deadly, no doubt about that since she was the one who kicked the dragon in the face!

Also, Silver is very aloof towards people she doesn't recognize as superior to her so she's commonly known to be a distant type of person. She's only close to Scarlet and the rest of the Scarlet Order, who she deemed as her equals. Oh! Except, Levin of course. She sees him as an annoying insect that's bound to be crushed under her feet. She doesn't like him very much. And there was no reason behind it. But maybe there was one. Wolves can't handle the smell of vampires. They stick like dead fish. That's why they don't like to be around them.

Anyway, up next is Aquarian or Aqua for short. She's the Queen of the Dark Mermaids of Gehenna. She has been a member of the Scarlet Order for a long time.

When dark mermaids turn 18 their appearance don't change. They stay beautiful for centuries and if her guess is right, Aqua is already very very old. She is also a very cunning and evil but she is very loyal once she pledges herself to serve you. Scarlet can recall in her memories how many times Aqua had met the expectations of the former Queen Scarlet. She is the type of person who wouldn't think twice to save her master when in trouble just like Eireen.

Aqua's biggest weakness?

Alcohol.

Her alcohol tolerance is low but she likes drinking and getting herself drunk anyway. It became her habit to drink ever since Levin introduced her to alcohol.

Standing next to Aqua is the Vampire King, Levin.

He's been Scarlet's subordinate for a long time and a very loyal follower of hers- like Aqua. He's an immortal that drinks blood for sustenance and he's also very powerful. Especially in combat. He's more powerful than Silver and Talon, Eigeel and Scarlet are the ones who can stop him when he's in Blood Crazed Mode, which happens rarely when he loses his control over his powers or when he's consumed with his lust for battle.

Also, aside from being inhumanely attractive, Levin detests the stench of blood even though he drinks it every day. Such a conflicting habit for a vampire to have but it's true. He drinks blood that was processed with magic. He invented the spell and does the spell himself to take the stench off of him.

Next to Levin is the dragon twins, Eigeel and Eireen.

Eireen is an Earth-Dragon. Very powerful and strong especially when she's in her dragon form. She also has a form that only shows half of her dragon appearance called the half-dragon form. She can use 50% of her dragon abilities in this form. While 10% is the highest percentage she can use from her dragon powers in Human Form.

Her brother, Eigeel, also has the same transformation capabilities but he is much more powerful than her. Both of them have lived in this world for a long time but they have never fought against each other.

Aside from being ridiculously strong they also have their imperfections. Eigeel has an extreme case of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) while Eireen has this intense adoration for Scarlet.

Next to the dragon twins is Talon.

He doesn't have a clan or a tribe where he belongs to. He is the only survivor of his tribe.

Based on Scarlet's memories, she saved Talon from death 700 years ago. That was when his tribe was wiped out by the soldiers of Ludora. Talon has been loyal to Scarlet ever since he became her shadow guard. So that only means that Scarlet can trust him with her life.

The last member of her Scarlet Order is a rare beast known as the crimson-furred-nine-tail fox.

His name is Red and unlike the other members of the Scarlet Order, he doesn't have a human form. He can change his size at will. It can be as small as a cat or as big as an elephant but he's very loyal and well known as the Queen's pet.

Red is a he by the way, and his weakness is raw meat. He loves it. He easily gets distracted when you parade a juicy red meat on his face. Only the members of the Scarlet Order knows that. Scarlet included.

Well then... Scarlet ran her eyes back to Silver then to Red. Now all of them are here. They can finally start the meeting.
