Hello! Welcome to Scarlet Dawn (previously known as The Discovery of a Lifetime). If you're a first-time reader, thank you for checking out my book! If you're familiar with this story, welcome back! Either way, I hope you enjoy what you're about to read.

When I first wrote this story in back 2014, I was around eleven or twelve years old. Having just started middle school, I was a starry-eyed Ninja Turtle fan who wanted to share her stories with the world, and so I published this fanfic hoping to do just that. Never in my life did I think that it would become as big as it has. Since I first finished this book, it's gone on to become my most successful Wattpad story by a long shot, and it's even placed on a couple of charts over the years. Even now in 2020, I still get notifications that new people are reading, commenting, and voting on it. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read this book over the years. Your support means more than you know!

Seeing as it's 2020 now, I've grown up quite a bit since I first wrote this story. My writing skills have improved, and I have a much better understanding of how the world works. Overcome with nostalgia (and boredom from quarantine), I decided to rewrite this book. This story is so incredibly special to me, and I want to make sure it's a reflection of some of my best work. So, without further ado, here is Scarlet Dawn, new and improved.

Thanks again for reading! I hope you enjoy :)
