Deianeira Targaryen’s Multiverse Of Madness: The Self-Saving System of the Kinslayer

"Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try, but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls"

-Girl on Fire; Alicia Keys

The fierce princess was dead.

Daemon Targaryen had kept his promise to avenge Lucerys Velaryon, and ended the life of Deianeira Targaryen, the murderer of Rhaenyra's child. A fierce fight broke out in the skies, and both riders ended up with injuries, as did their dragons. Daemon was able to accept that Deianeira Targaryen was definitely to be feared, she was worthy of being called the second coming of Visenya Targaryen or even a second Daemon Targaryen. She was fierce and lethal, a worthy opponent. Without a doubt, she is Rhaenyra's most dangerous enemy on the Green Side.

And now she had died, his sword stabbing her beautiful face and sending her into the cold waters alongside the Queen of Dragons, Vhagar. Likewise, Daemon succumbed to his wounds, as the princess did not plan to leave alone, Daemon would go to see the Stranger with her if necessary. It was a worthy fight between the fiercest Targaryens of that generation, a fight between the truest dragons of House Targaryen. Their names would go down in history and songs would be sung for centuries to come.

At least, that's what Deianeira Targaryen thought. The warrior princess expected anything but to be in what appeared to be King Viserys' throne room. Everything was the same, although it looked emptier and brighter somehow.

"So you are the bearer of my sword, Blackfyre."

Deianeira quickly got into position with her sword in search of the male voice, only to find the subject sitting on the throne, with regalia and a crown very familiar to her.

“The crown of Aegon the Conqueror.” She whispered, although perhaps not low enough because that man with blonde hair and lilac eyes smiled. “Who are you?”

The man tilted his head with a smile.

“I know very well that you know who I am, Princess Deianeira.”

"Are you telling me that you are really Aegon Targaryen the Conqueror?" She asked incredulously.

“Beautiful and smart! How you remind me of my beloved Visenya!” He exclaimed happily, his voice becoming loving as he remembered his sister-wife, the fiercest woman he had ever known.

Deianeira lowered the sword, after all, she was dead anyway, it's not like she could do anything. The princess decided to approach the throne, where Aegon was sitting, and stopped in front of him.

“What are you doing here? Where are we? I'm sure I died at the hands of Daemon.” Deianeira asked.

“Indeed, you are dead and let's say that the gods thought that I should be the one to talk to you. And where we are is something difficult to explain, I would say that we are in a limbo.“ The king smiled.

“Very well, so what am I doing here?” She decided to ask the question that was eating her inside.

“Deianeira Targaryen, youngest daughter of Viserys Targaryen and Alicent Hightower. Known for being the second coming of my beloved wife. The Kinslayer who was murdered by her uncle. You are here to be punished.” Aegon's lilac gaze quickly turned somewhat cold, and Deianeira tensed, ready to attack. “Oh, don't get defensive. I'm not angry with you, but with my other descendants.”

Deianeira raised an eyebrow, not knowing exactly what Aegon meant. She was used to her and her siblings being seen as less because they are not "pure" Targaryens, ironic when of all people, it is her mother who gave birth to children with Valyrian colors. And somehow, the weak Rhaenyra, with her bastards and her weak mentality, was protected and pampered by others even when she was already a woman with more than three children.

“Deianeira, maybe you didn't know anything because you weren't the heir to the throne, but I had a prophecy before I died, one where the dead would return and a long night would come over the world. I prophesied that the savior would come from my blood. However, nothing went as it should.” The silver king sighed. “Neither Aegon nor Rhaenyra were destined to take the throne. Aegon, without a sense of duty and without wanting it. Rhaenyra, with no mentality to reign, without any tools to make her a good ruler, and having bastards left and right. Dirtying the noble blood of the dragon.” Aegon's voice was filled with disgust as he spoke about Rhaenyra's bastards. “They both brought my kingdom to ruin. Childish and idiotic enough to create a civil war and destroy House Targaryen. Useless.”

Deianeira looked at her ancestor, understanding his frustration more than anyone. She could see what poor monarchs they would both be. Aegon was more focused on having sex and drinking, he did not want to be king and abandoned all study, he could barely speak High Valyrian unless they were one or another command to his dragon. On the other hand, Rhaenyra was no better. Being a "good" mother who let her children do whatever they wanted without consequences just like her didn't talk about a woman with a good head on her shoulders who showed herself to be a good queen like Rhaenys. She is immature with desires for the throne but not wanting any of the harsh responsibilities or difficult decisions that having the crown entails. She wanted everything to go her way without considering the consequences. A royal woman having bastards left and right was not an example to follow. Other noblewomen had been punished, exiled, and killed for less.

Being a monarch or someone of royalty, especially as a woman, meant nothing more than having beautiful gold chains on your body that limited you from anything other than bringing complete prosperity to the kingdom. A monarch is a role model who must punish even their own children to maintain order and peace. Being a monarch is an eternal sacrifice. The fact that Viserys had done nothing against Rhaenyra and that she was still having bastards did not make her favorable in the eyes of the nobility or the people, her name was even known in Essos for having so many bastards. Her name stained forever.

“Viserys was a weak and useless king, who could not control his family or prevent the House from falling into ruin, with his favoritism towards his eldest daughter and his blindness towards her actions. So useless that he couldn't even see that he had a dreamer next to him all this time. If he had listened to the prophecies, the dragons would not have become extinct.” Aegon lamented.

“Helaena.” Deianeira was not stupid nor deaf, she listened to her older sister and she knew very well that whatever came out of her mouth was not necessarily stupidity, the people around her were the stupid ones.

Aegon smiled at her, his lilac eyes taking on an almost malicious gleam.

"I didn't expect anything less from you, princess. You, the chosen one. The one who should have sat on the throne. You should have been queen!” He shouted the last thing, and you could almost taste his fury. Deianeira was almost scared with how quickly his mood was changing.

“Me?” She asked in shock, since she was only the third of her four siblings, not even counting Rhaenyra, and a woman. She was definitely not the highest on the list of heirs to the throne.

“Well, of course! You are the perfect Targaryen, a true dragon with fire in her veins. You are deadly with the sword, to the point that even the king granted you Blackfyre. You are a scholar, intelligent in everything necessary to govern a kingdom efficiently. You are strong-minded, so you wouldn't let anyone walk all over you, but you can be merciful. You are firm, you know that you have to sacrifice yourself for the good of the kingdom. You are the savior. But thanks to your family, everything collapsed and now the end of our dynasty, and the world, has come.”

Deianeira did not know how to feel when she saw how, for the first time in her life, someone appreciated her talents, and how that someone recognized her as someone worthy of governing. And that someone was Aegon the Conqueror himself.

“Wait, the end of the world? So, the dead returned as you predicted?” She asked.

Aegon looked at her, and his lilac eyes shone.

“The long night arrived. There are no Targaryens, there are no dragons, and there is no fire to stop the winter. Indeed, the dead returned. And everything could have been avoided if you took the throne, Deianeira. Our dynasty could have helped the Promised Princess.”

“Promised Princess?”

“Yes, the Promised Princess, Daenerys Targaryen. She should have been the one to end the long night with the support of her family. But she is the only true Targaryen left in the world with a kingdom destroyed and traitors in every direction. With you on the throne, your descendants would have been responsible for keeping House Targaryen alive and with dragons.”

Deianeira looked at her ancestor and sighed. She was surprised, but she had no regrets, it was already too late for those.

“Unfortunately, that's how things ended. We cannot change the past.” The dragon princess lamented, but the smile of her ancestor made her hesitate.

“Of course we can change the past. You can change it. That's why you were brought here! To get a second chance.” Aegon slowly descended from the throne, approaching Deianeira. “But everything has a price, and you are also guilty of the fate of the world by killing Lucerys, son of Rhaenyra.”

Deianeira snorted.

“I want to remind you that even though I am known as a pretty princess, that bastard still took my eye.” She spat angrily, pointing to her eye patch. Everyone seemed to ignore and forget the fact that as a woman, that scar had condemned her while Lucerys skipped towards the horizon all happy.

Aegon looked at her and sighed, it's not like he didn't understand her frustration, it's just that she should have thought more coldly and killed him in a way where they would never know it was her.

“It's not the fact that you exacted your revenge, it's the fact that you didn't do it secretly. You should have killed him without anyone knowing it was you, but things didn't happen that way and the war broke out.”

Deianeira looked at her ancestor, put her lips into a thin line and nodded, understanding her mistake.

“Anyway, you murdered him at thirteen years old, so you will live thirteen lives for thirteen years. When you finish, you will return to the past and using what you learned, you will take it upon yourself to sit on the Iron Throne as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and save the world from the Long Night, Deianeira Targaryen.” The king shamelessly took Deianeira's delicate and beautiful face in his hands. “You will rule.”

That was the last thing she heard before she felt everything go dark.

When she opens her eyes to this new life, nothing prepared her for how it would turn her world upside down, starting with the fact that she had two eyes and that the technology of this world was much more advanced than what she knew. There were no dragons or horses to ride in carriages, now there were metal boxes with wheels that the world called cars. Letters were not used to send messages, but another type of technology thanks to a magical little box called a cell phone. Nothing was as she knew it, and although getting used to it was somewhat complicated, her still young body and mind allowed her to quickly get used to everything that was happening around her. And once she understood the world, it became her stage.

This new world, and above all her genes, allowed her to have a prodigious mind. Her genes and thirst for knowledge gave her a lethal mind that she used to create things as if she were a goddess creating humanity. She was capable of taking the simplest thing and turning it into a weapon if she so desired.

It was a strange world, but Deianeira was able to adapt to anything the gods threw at her.

Her father, although somewhat cold towards her, never stopped her, and in fact, encouraged her to create more, from robots to weapons. Her father didn't tie her wings, he helped her fly, no matter how cold he often was. Behind all that, she could see the pride shining in those whiskey-colored eyes she inherited. And compared to Viserys, Howard Stark was a good father.

Furthermore, her father's coldness was balanced by her mother's softness. Her mother, Maria Carbonell, was a beautiful Italian woman who was responsible for teaching her Italian and the piano. She used to offer her protection when her father went too far and said something hurtful. She was always ready to dress her in the most beautiful dresses with the most beautiful jewelry. They weren't perfect parents by any means, but it was enough for her, who grew up with an indifferent father and a sad mother. With a large family, but non-existent.

At the young age of fifteen she entered MIT, and Antoinette 'Tonya' Edelia Stark was finally able to explore what this world had to offer. She entered the public eye as the prodigious Stark heiress who entered MIT at a young age and who liked to party, because Tonya did not limit herself and drank alcohol with the man who would become her best friend and her brother, James Rhodes.

She was criticized for her liberal tastes that were not good for a lady, but Tonya was going to enjoy the immense freedom that this world offered her even when she was a woman. And many years later, that rebellious and free period is remembered as one of her best years, where she was free and young. It was those years that allowed her to break those chains that being a princess had granted her.

Tonya became famous for her love of alcohol, and then her fame exploded when at a young age she had to take the reins of Stark Industries when her parents died in a car accident due to her father driving drunk. They had left a young woman with the weight of an entire company on her shoulders, but Tonya wasn't going to consider herself a Stark if she couldn't handle the weight of being CEO.

As a woman, taking control was not easy at all, the critics talked about how because she was a woman she was not qualified to take the reins. Tonya thought that even in another world, and with so much progress, there would always be those idiots who doubted someone just because they were a woman. So with the support of Obadiah Stane, her godfather, Tonya took the CEO seat and, silencing the evil tongues, turned Stark Industries into a company that went from the title of being a multi-million dollar industry to becoming a multi-billion dollar industry, reaching a point that it never attained at the hands of her father, Howard Stark.

And indeed, Tonya Stark became an untouchable woman, in a powerful and billionaire woman with a futuristic mind more than capable of having the world in her hands if she wanted to. But Tonya also knew that she wasn't that perfect. She had let herself be carried away by everything this world offered her.

Tonya is the first to admit that she became addicted to alcohol, to forget the pain of losing her parents and the fact that all the money in the world wouldn't buy her happiness, no matter how hard she tried. She lived her life from date to date with different models, businessmen and celebrities trying to find a man who would love her. And although she dated hundreds and was photographed with all of them, Tonya never slept with any of them, she still knew the importance of being a virgin and she would not become Rhaenyra.

Her life takes a turn when she ends up being kidnapped by the Ten Rings and escapes from the cave with a reactor in her chest and with a new vision for her life and her company, ignoring that the world was waiting to see a titan fall from the top, only for that titan to become the Iron Maiden. Tonya Stark once again proved that she was a woman without comparison, and she took her company to an even higher point, easily becoming the richest and most powerful woman in the world. She was an exquisite woman, rich and intelligent, desirable to even monarchs around the world.

But no one could ever conquer her heart.

Finally, Tonya joins the Avengers, a group of exceptional beings formed with the sole mission of protecting the world against evils that ordinary people could not take on. While on that group, Tonya helped them as much as she could, only to be betrayed by them at the slightest opportunity and Tonya was nothing more than a Targaryen Princess in her soul, and she was one who never bowed the knee, and she would not do so now.

So she turned her back on them too and asked -read threatened– T'Challa to keep the rebels collared, or the consequences wouldn't be pretty for them or Wakanda, she had everything to destroy them. Tonya knew what she had seen in space, and she was a futurist, she didn't need ungrateful people to save the Earth.

So with the rebels out of her way, she used her entire arsenal to strengthen Earth, and when the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Asgardians, and other heroes like the X-Men offered their help, they created a group that Thanos had not been prepared to face when he decided to attack Earth to obtain the Infinity Stones.

Without further ado, and without being able to do anything or go to "help", the rebels could do nothing but watch on television as heroes around the world and from the stars managed to end the threat of the Mad Titan without needing them. Tonya Stark was still on top, stronger than ever and lauded as Earth's greatest defender.

Years later, they were forgiven and the rebels were able to return, only to return to a country that did not wanted or needed them, content and happy with the new Avengers under the command of Iron Maiden, Tonya Stark. In the end, they returned only to be discharged, Wanda's power taken away, and having to live a life as simple civilians, watching from the bottom what they could have had if they had stayed by the side of the smartest woman in the world.

In the end, Tonya took Peter Parker and Harley Keener as her adopted children and named them heirs to her entire fortune, as she never married or had children of her own, but she made sure to keep the Stark legacy alive in two brilliant children. She hadn't found a man to love, but perhaps she would be lucky in the next lives.

When the titan died of old age, the world mourned her loss and they made sure to keep Tonya Stark's name in the world's memory, creating hospitals, schools, museums and statues in her name. Tonya was left in history, and the rebels were forgotten. And Tonya died happy, surrounded by her friends and her children.

With this, Deianeira Targaryen ended her first life.

Deianeira Targaryen went from being a woman with platinum-white hair and amethyst eyes, to a woman with brown hair and whiskey-colored eyes, to finally, a baby with hair as golden as the sun and eyes as blue as the sea.

She was born Beatrix Michelle Kiddo, daughter of Marc and Michelle Kiddo. Her family was normal, with an unimpressive with a father who worked in the military and a mother who worked as a nurse.

Since she was a child, and thanks in part to her father, Beatrix was a girl of strong character. Giving up wasn't in her vocabulary, and forgiving someone who messed with her wasn't her personality. She grew up as a normal girl who, when she came of age, left home and welcomed adulthood.

Her life changed when she met the much older Bill Vihaio. Together they had a romantic relationship (something that reminded her of her parents' relationship, she felt like a hypocrite), which led to Bill introducing her and asking his teacher Pai Mei to train Beatrix in Kung Fu. Beatrix was an excellent swordswoman, but it's not like she knew many hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Unfortunately, Pai Mei did not want to accept her, and Beatrix knows that she was horribly humiliated in her "fight" against the Chinese man to prove that she had what it took to be one of his pupils. Beatrix doesn't know what Pai Mei saw in her, but he accepted her.

Pai Mei was a cruel but effective teacher. His hand nor his voice shook when he ordered her or when he hit her during trainings. Beatrix got hurt in all of them, but she will never deny that it was effective, because she progressed so much that she achieved what no one, neither man nor woman, could ever do: she earned Pai Mei's respect and approval. It was so much so that he taught her his most desired and dangerous technique, the Five-Pointed Palm Explosive Heart Technique, which was more than surprising since Pai Mei swore never to teach that technique to anyone.

Beatrix was satisfied, a new weapon was added to her arsenal. Beatrix came out as a powerful Kung Fu master, with the respect and approval of her master. She joined the newly created assassin-for-hire organization that Bill had created, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, with the codenamed Black Mamba .

Beatrix took command as Bill's right hand and second in command, known as the most lethal and dangerous in the squad, from Kung Fu skills, sword skills, and even personality. Her name was feared and everyone knew that an enemy of the Black Mamba would not survive long before being killed by her.

Some time later, during the mission to kill Lisa Wong, who sent Karen Kim after Beatrix, she received news that she was indeed pregnant with Bill. Beatrix was not with Bill for love, she ultimately did not love the man and the affection she felt for him was nothing compared to the love she felt for the creature in her belly, and she was not willing to endangered them. So during their short fight, Beatrix confessed her intention of not wanting to fight, so she faked her death and disappeared from Bill's and the squad's lives, determined to leave her violent life behind and form a new, clean life for her baby not yet born.

She lived under the assumed name Arlene Machiavelli and met a man named Tommy Plympton in Texas, who owned a record store. Beatrix may not have loved him, but he was in love with her and it didn't take long before he asked her to marry him. Beatrix accepted for safety and appearances. She mocked herself for having a bastard, Rhaenyra's stupidity was already rubbing off on her.

The months pass quietly and the story truly begins at the Two Pines Chapel, where friends and family dressed and watched the bride and groom practice their wedding. Everything only for Bill to show up unannounced. And contrary to what Beatrix thought, Bill had been affected by the death of his second in command and his lover and it was he who personally searched for those who dared to touch a hair of the Black Mamba, only to find that Beatrix had survived and fled.

So he showed up at her wedding practice, looked into her eyes full of love for her, and told her with a solemn face that he wouldn't interfere in her life and that he would let her be free with her fiancé and her baby. Beatrix seemed happy, but she knew Bill very well and that damned old man would not forgive such a betrayal. And she was confirmed to be correct when seconds later she sees how the Deadly Viper Squad killed everyone in the chapel.

Beatrix, the only one to survive the massacre, was brutally attacked, passed from person to person while being brutally beaten, ignoring the fact that she was extremely pregnant and that it was the only reason Beatrix could not fight back or she would have slaughtered them all.

It was Bill who approached her and just when she was going to say that the baby was hers, she was shot in the head, leaving her for dead in the chapel.

But Beatrix survived, she had entered a four-year coma, where during those years she had been raped countless times by men. Beatrix wakes up four years later, with metal in the part of her head where she was shot and in despair to see that she was no longer pregnant. She kills the nurse who used her body and the client who wanted to use it, and she left, ready to begin her revenge against all the members of the squad, including Bill himself and anyone who got in the her way. Because their first mistake was messing with her baby, the second was messing with her, and the third was not killing her.

Once her body became functional, Beatrix took a flight to Okinawa, where she implored the legendary sword creator, Hattori Hanzō, to create a sword for her so she could finish off Bill. Moved by her words, the man who had sworn to never create a sword, created one that the man considered the best sword he ever created.

“If you want to cut God, God will be cut.”

Then Beatrix went hunting, and she would not rest until she saw her enemies fall one by one, even the man she once loved. She sighed, if she felt this way and she only loved Bill as a friend, she didn't want to imagine what she would have felt if she had truly loved that man.

Her first victim was O-Ren Ishii, who sent his guards against her, only for them to be easily cut down by her sword, before killing Gogo Yubari and finally finishing off O-Ren Ishii by cutting off part of her head. She leaves her place with her yellow suit covered in blood, with sweat on her forehead and with a smile on her lips, her blood boiling with hunger for revenge. She tortures Sofie into spilling her beans about the location of the other members of the squad and continues the hunt for them.

With this, O-Ren Ishii is the first on her list to die.

Against Vernita Green, the house is left a mess until Vernita's daughter, Nikkia Bell, comes home from school, stopping their fight for a while for coffee. Although Vernita tries to beg the angry mamba's forgiveness, claiming that she has a new life, Beatrix does not soften, even when Vernita talks about her daughter.

“The only way we will be even is if you, your daughter and your husband die.”

For even if she tried, Beatrix couldn't feel bad for the woman who took her life, a life she was now living while she had stolen hers. Beatrix never said she was a good person, she had killed her nephew in cold blood and she felt nothing but satisfaction seeing him fall.

Vernita believes herself smarter than the Black Mamba, and tries to have a duel later, only to attempt to attack Beatrix, which ends with her being stabbed and killed in front of her own daughter's eyes. They both see each other face to face, the girl in shock without fully understanding what was happening, and Beatrix with a cold look.

“Your mother deserved it, but I promise you that if in the future you want revenge for your mother's murder, I will be waiting for you.”

With Vernitas Green crossed off her list, Beatrix continued her journey towards Budd, and there she hides in his trailer home to take him by surprise. She is the one surprised when she is shot, sedated and buried alive by him. But with Pai Mei's Three Inch Fist technique, Beatrix escapes, only to see Elle beat her to the punch and kill Budd. It is during the fight that Elle confesses that she killed Pai Mei when he took her eye when Elle insulted him. And in revenge, Beatrix took away her other eye. With Elle screaming and crying on the floor, Beatrix left.

Finally, Beatrix reaches the big fish, Bill himself. And when she does, she learns that her daughter had survived. They both spend time together, and Beatrix felt that motherly love that she felt with Peter and Harley. But that didn't stop her from confronting Bill.

Attacking him with the Pai Mei technique, the one he had never taught to anyone other than Beatrix, Bill smiles knowing the meaning and that nothing could save him.

“How I look?” Bill asks.

“Ready to die, my friend.”

Beatrix only gave a smile to that friend, because she would not cry for him, he was not worth it. She at least could appreciate that he kept her daughter safe from everything.

Beatrix and BB leave Bill's house, and filled with euphoria, Beatrix takes her daughter to a new life. If years later she murders Nikkia Bell, she says nothing and lets her old age once again take her away.

When Zuri was born, the room almost caught fire due to the force in which the flames glowed. The firstborn was going to be a very powerful firebender. And Ozai couldn't have been prouder at that moment. For a moment, he thought the baby was going to be a boy. But his newly born daughter broke all expectations. She might not be a boy, but she was going to be a very powerful firebender and Ozai's greatest ally.

“Her name will be Zuri.” Ozai said as he named the girl in his arms with a shine in his eyes that promised an uncertain future not only for his daughter, but for his family.

Ozai looked at his daughter and read books about war and the greatness of the Fire Nation, instilling such beliefs in his daughter since she was a child. Satisfied with Ursa, he decided to have another baby. Maybe the next one would be a boy and as powerful as Zuri, another son to have as his most faithful soldier. But one look at his son made it more than clear to Ozai that Zuri was one in a million and that Azulon, his son, wouldn't amount to much in life with the weak flame inside him.

And although he was not at all happy with Azulon, at least he had a competent heir in Zuri, so he focused all his attention on her and instilled in her the same beliefs. Zuri smiled, proud to have been born in the fire nation with a history of dragons, she felt like she was in Westeros, so she accepted her father's word.

On the other hand, forgetting that Ozai was the monster under the bed and inside the closet, Ursa turned her attention to the abandoned Azulon, causing Zuri to think that clearly in this life Ursa was going to be the negligent one.

Due to Ozai's obvious disappointment with Azulon, it was Ursa who spent the most time with the boy, protecting him from Ozai, forgetting that her daughter should also be protected from the monster under the bed. Because of this, Zuri was raised with the thought that Ursa did not love her and in this life of royalty, she needed an ally so Zuri had no choice but to take refuge under Ozai's wing.

Her cunning and prodigious use of fire attracted attention and she quickly became Ozai's favorite, who took care of educating her as his heir from a very young age, teaching her not only the use of fire, but also politics. With past knowledge, this was like putting a fish in water.

Zuri was going to admit that this life allowed her to bring out her darker side. She wasn't going to say that she was a saint on earth, even as Deianeira she had quite dark thoughts and even killed her nephew and she felt happiness. As Beatrix she was a professional assassin. But as Zuri, Ozai fed those thoughts, so it was easy for her to become a sadistic, manipulative woman obsessed with being powerful. All this together with a strategic mind.

When she grew older, she entered the Academy where she met two girls with interesting talents that made Zuri take them under her wing as her companions and two unnecessary bodyguards. Zuri was the perfect daughter and she felt that at least she had a good relationship with her father, somewhat loving and twisted.

But when Ozai burned her younger brother's face, Zuri knew things couldn't be the same. Her enemy now was Ozai, who burned his son's face, hitting too close to home for Zuri's liking. Ozai is now her enemy but Zuri knows that she can't defeat him, not yet, but she will make sure to eliminate every damn assassin that Ozai sends for Azulon's head. Because that was the idea, to exile his son and kill him, but Zuri wouldn't allow it.

She tried even harder. So much so that she became the only firebender to generate blue fire. And she grew to the point of even being able to create lightning, making her a lethal opponent and an even more dangerous enemy for any fool who decided to get in her way.

Zuri took it upon herself to grow in power and ensure that Ozai never suspects her plans. So she became his greatest confidant, his personal bodyguard and assassin. It was more than clear that many would try to come for Ozai's head and it was her job to put them down. Ozai had trained her from a young age to be a killing machine and Zuri would not disappoint him, for Azulon's sake, she could not disappoint him.

Zuri spent years killing the suicidal assassins who were after her father's head, her own, and those her own father hired to murder her brother. She doesn't know how Ozai never found out about her, but she supposed that her act of being a perfect heiress who hated her brother was so perfect that not even Ozai could see through it.

Zuri loved her brother despite everything, and she wanted nothing more than to hug him and tell him that she protected him like the big sister that she is, but she knows that it is not at all credible and that their relationship was already too deteriorated to even be able to do work again. So when Sozin's Comet arrived, she fought Azulon. She didn't give it his all, she admits. She is too powerful to be defeated by her brother, but she gave him the victory, happy to see that her brother did become stronger, much stronger than Ozai thought.

She knows that the war is not over, that Ozai was not defeated but with great allies at his side, her brother no longer needed the protection of her older sister, so she loses and accepts her fate in a prison especially for her, the most dangerous firebender master.

From what she learns, both sides retreated to gather forces and attack again, because a war of so many years was unfortunately not going to be won that easily even though the Avatar is a powerful young man of almost twenty years old. And so the next few months passed, with the Fire Nation showing why they were so powerful. Until Azulon proposes bringing his sister, powerful and knowledgeable of Ozai's worst secrets. 

This is how she is released a few months after being imprisoned. Her time in prison had done nothing to dull the beauty or power of Ozai's firstborn, and it was something everyone knew and she knew too. Because even the Avatar, the one Zuri almost killed, breaking the Avatar cycle, looked at the Crown Princess dumbfounded.

Zuri proved to be very useful, the princess knew things that not even Iroh himself knew about his brother and his plans. So acting like a prisoner who loosed her tongue to gain freedom and not because she wanted to burn Ozai alive, Zuri did everything she could to get Ozai defeated. And it wasn't long before he ended up in a cell, where he was visited only once by Zuri.

“It's what you deserve for having burned my brother, father. Thank you for trusting me, because I was the one who revealed all your secrets and who stopped every assassination attempt against Azulon.” Zuri scoffed and turned around, ignoring her father's angry shouts. She never really claimed to be a good person.

As with every political problem, fear still existed, something valid although Azulon proved to be the only good fruit among the royal family. However, a bond stronger than friendship was needed for people to truly trust that peace was upon them, and the best way to create such bonds was with a marriage. Zuri wasn't at all surprised or offended when her hand was given, it was her duty now that Azulon was going to be Fire Lord and her duty as the only princess. But she was the most surprised by the immense number of suitors for her hand. Seemingly, a powerful master with lethal beauty was more than a good catch.

Honestly, of all, it was not expected that the Avatar himself would offer his hand to marry her, and although it was considered that it was a lot of power given to the Fire Nation, it was also known that the Avatar was the only one who was really going to be capable of controlling or stopping Zuri if she decides to rebel.

So they get married, much to Katara's utter anger and pain, and stay in the Fire Nation. Zuri does not love Aang even though he looks at her with deep love and even obsession, but she loves each of her children, and she had many of them. At least she dies surrounded by her family.

Deianeira did not know what to expect from her next life, she has already lived several quite strange and interesting ones, opening her eyes to a new world and fascinating her in the face of all probabilities.

Her new life made her feel a fire inside her, and it wasn't a good one.

Deianeira was already used to being a forgotten princess from her first life, with Viserys being a completely absent father who often forgot the names of the children he had with her beloved mother, Alicent Hightower. Being a forgotten princess ran in the family. Her life as Zuri surprised her, but it only showed her that once again, she had a terrible father, who although he did not forget her name, and in fact appreciated her in his own way, taught her that there are fathers who can be very cruel

That didn't mean she wouldn't be angry when she woke up as Athanasia de Alger Obelia on the day of her birth to her crazy father slaughtering everyone in the delivery room, where her mother's body still lay in bed, still warm but pale from her death. Her father sees her with strange but beautiful jeweled eyes that seem to have no pupils at all, shining with anger and a magical force unknown to her. He tells her that he wants to kill her, but he will see if the name her mother gave her would keep her alive.

He would see if she would be immortal.

She was sent to the poorest palace, where she suffered neglect for years, until when she was five, she instilled so much fear in the servants that they never dared to disrespect her, little by little taking control of the Ruby Palace, as every princess should do with her home.

Deianeira was a princess no matter what, so behaving like one even without good teachers was not a problem. The few poor teachers that Lily could offer her taught her what they could until they were surpassed by Athanasia. Likewise, she took the opportunity to use magic. With such power at her fingertips, there was nothing Athanasia couldn't do. Her powerful and abundant magic allowed her to create from nothing, and even instill fear. With this, teleporting to different places in the world was not difficult and the doors to learn different cultures or magic were opened. Athanasia absorbed everything and grew to become a young girl of great beauty, a strong personality, and a lethal mind.

Athanasia and her father, the Emperor, never met. And Athanasia expected it to be like that until she had to take the throne as the only princess. She really didn't even want to see her father in painting. Her plans are ruined when Jennette Margarita appears, the apparent daughter of Claude and the First Princess, who quickly won the hearts of half the empire and obtained the Emerald Palace, the most beautiful palace for the heir. Athanasia took the news coldly, Jennette was not an opponent she should worry about. However, the throne was to be hers and no one else's.

So for her fifteen year old ball, with her debutante already here, Athanasia enters through those doors with the title of Second Princess of Obelia and leaves there with the mission of showing her father her efficiency to reign, just as she had challenged him. Athanasia entered, she greeted her father and ignored Jennette who was next to him and spoke.

“I heard that Jennette Margarita, who has no royal training, has been named Crown Princess. I care very little about family relationships, but I am the most suitable to reign Obelia and lead this empire to a golden age. As such, I ask for His Majesty to give me an opportunity. Let's put aside our mutual hatred and decide who is the best monarch for Obelia.”

Her large jeweled eyes collide with her father's cold eyes in a fight that causes total silence in her debutante, all amazed at the bravery of the princess, an exact copy of the emperor.

When she gained the Emperor's approval, Athanasia gracefully pivoted on her axis and left her own debutante without having even danced or been there for more than five minutes. That day would trigger a fight between the Princesses. Jennette had more noble allies, but Athanasia had the people and was ten steps ahead of the brown-haired princess.

Claude was impartial when it came to the empire and it didn't take him long to name Athanasia as his heir, although it was clear that he was not happy. Because of this, they spent more time together, to the point that Claude began to love his own daughter while she did nothing but ignore him. Athanasia was not up to it, it had been too many years without her father to really care about his affection.

By the time they tried to frame her for poisoning Jennette, Athanasia had the love of the people, the approval of the nobles, and the backing of the Emperor, so Jennette's aunt was sentenced to be hang while Athanasia watched, almost mocking the woman’s idiocy.

When the truth behind Jennette was revealed, it was too late for her, so they finished her off and the Alpheus paid a high price for their deceit and betrayal. Athanasia and Claude's relationship improved somewhat, and Obelia saw peace and prosperity before the throne passed to Athanasia.

Athanasia took the crown, the red cloak and sat on the throne that once belonged to her father and she could only feel how heavy her heart felt. Being a monarch was difficult and required a lot of work, sacrifice and intelligence. For the first time, she truly understood the price of ruling over an empire and thousands of people.

Athanasia gave a glimpse into her life as Deianeira and mocked Viserys and Rhaenyra. Seeing her people praise and applaud her, she knew that they were not and would not be good monarchs. Viserys was very weak and Rhaenyra never made an effort to truly study. The kingdom was destined to fall from the start to two monarchs who were more concerned with how their own farts smelled than the good of their people.

Athanasia sent a silent apology to her brother Aegon, who had fought until the end to not have the crown. Aegon was an alcoholic and a prostitute, but he was the only one from the beginning who stated that ruling was not for him. The only one who accepted the reality that he was not ready and never would be. The only one who could see beyond the power and riches and see the crown for what it was, chains. While Rhaenyra lived in a fantasy world that would lead the kingdom to misery.

She closed her eyes under the applause and began to govern.

During her years as Empress, Obelia knew no poverty or pain. The empire entered an era of rebirth. New ideas, more magicians, more advances, changes of clothes, wonderful artists and great songs praising Empress Athanasia the Great. Obelia soon became a military and technological power that led the world into a new era.

Her relationship with Claude improved and they both used their knowledge to govern Obelia until he left the world, accompanied shortly after by his most faithful companion, Felix.

Athanasia did not marry for love, she did so for an heir and as soon as she obtained one, she separated from her husband, although she did not let him go without first rewarding him. She had a son whom she named Ambrose and she raised him to be a great prince and future Emperor.

When she died peacefully, surrounded by her son and a few friends, this was her successor and the one who continued the great era she created.

The first thing she remembers about this life is the warm smile of her father, an extremely handsome man, with long, wavy hair as dark as the night and eyes like the sea, uncontrolled and beautiful. She then remembers how he took her in his arms and watched her with an almost obsessive admiration.

“My daughter. My first demigoddess daughter.“ He whispers almost reverently. “Deianeira Artemisia Jackson, you will live to honor those names.”

Her father kisses her forehead and leaves her in the crib to disappear, leaving Deianeira with nothing but questions without any answers, in addition to being full of curiosity to know that she had the same name that she had in her life as a Targaryen.

More years pass and Deianeira grows to become a girl described by many as special. She was undoubtedly a girlish beauty, with wavy black hair and eyes like the cold ocean. She grew up to be a born leader and not to follow orders. Her attention deficit made her an active child, which caused her mother, Sally Jackson, to place her in all kinds of activities to distract her.

She went from learning martial arts to the fencing that this world offered, so that her skills would not rust. She then when from joined the girls scouts where she learned to hunt and live in the woods, to becoming a cheerleader. From that age, Deianeira Jackson controlled the school like the Queen Bee. Cold and calculating, she grew up with a certain psychopathy, certain apathy and zero empathy for those she had to bring down. She had brought part of her life as Zuri into this new life.

At the age of twelve, her life takes a turn when she learns that the Greek gods are real and that she is the daughter of Poseidon, God of the Seas and Earthquakes, and Princess of Atlantis.

On her first mission, she found Zeus's stolen lightning bolt plus Hades' weapon along the way, becoming the enemy of Ares. On her second mission, she entered the Sea of Monsters and freed Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, from her status as Camp Half-Blood's protective pine. By the time she was barely fifteen years old, she was already part of a prophecy that would determine the fate of the world, one where she mercilessly murdered Luke Castellan, thus ending the Second Titanomachy.

Unfortunately, Zeus was an idiot and accepted the uprising of the giants very late. By then, Olympus was not ready for such a leap and the war went on for so long that it was impossible not to involve mortals.

Deianeira, like the calculating young woman she had become, took on the role of General of the Atlantis troops, commanding them fearlessly and with terrible efficiency. She quickly became Poseidon's right hand and a name feared, respected and admired.

But even with all her arsenal she could not stop a war of such magnitude on her own, and for every demigod who died, thousands of mortals followed, turning the Earth into a true hell not seen since the Golden Age of the Titans.

Deianeira saw and knew that this was a lost war.

“I don't know why you fight among yourselves like children even when you all can see the state of the world. After all, this is happening thanks to you and your pride. This is why the Olympics will fall.” Deianeira's cold and cruel voice caused the gods to be silent and look at her, unable to refute her words.

Poseidon was not well after his fight against Pontus, the Primordial of the Sea, and while Triton took the position of regent, Deianeira took the army and his position on Olympus. That is why the demigoddess was sitting on her father's throne on Olympus, stealing more than one glance from her male relatives and Aphrodite.

Well, Deianeira had developed into a woman of devastating beauty. She was a tall, beautiful and slender woman with very long black hair, accompanied by eyes like the sea, almost being able to see the waves that shone with coldness and bloodlust. She had somewhat creamy skin, as if she hadn't been in the sun for years. She was dressed in a military style, gray boots with heels that reached the middle of her thighs. Her dress, the same color as her boots, was long-sleeved, with a short skirt and its buttons open, showing some of her large breasts, and around her neck rested a beautiful blue scarf. On her head rested a cap with the symbol of a trident.

Her aura was divine in a way not seen before in a demigod, an aura powerful and stormy like the ocean. She was a worthy daughter of Poseidon and an even more capable heir. Everyone knew that she did not take Triton's position because she did not want to since in this life, Deianeira wanted to take charge of the army.

“Thousands of mortals die daily, to the point that only a few million remain of the billions that used to inhabit the Earth. It is this attitude that almost caused Kronos to return and it is that same attitude the reason why we are here now. It is time for you to think like Gods and not like children.” Deianeira looked at them, embarrassed that these were her relatives, not even the Targaryens were like that. “You should be embarrassed.”

Without further ado, she stood up elegantly, her heels were the only thing that could be heard as she left the large room that was filled with silence. Unfortunately the Gods couldn't touch her, she was their General and their most powerful demigoddess. Furthermore, it wasn't like she was telling lies and in fact, they had already lost several Gods, including Demeter, Hera and Dionysus, to the hands of the enemy. Deianeira did not know why she continued fighting since she knew that this was a lost war.

And the Fates agreed because just one year after that meeting, Gaia and her accomplices had gained ground and defeated the Gods. Deianeira was not surprised by the fall of the Olympians to begin with, because of how they were treated, many Lesser Gods joined Gaia and the Olympians had almost no allies. And the enemy had a long time to prepare without being found due to the arrogance of Zeus.

And this is how it all ends, with Deianeira sitting on the throne that had belonged to her father, surrounded by the bodies of several demigods and perhaps one or two gods, with more enemies approaching the doors of the room of Olympus.

Deianeira smiled as she stabbed herself with her trident Leviathan, her prized weapon.

“They may have the world, but no one will have me.”

And with a smile of victory, Deianeira welcomed her next life with open arms.

The next life earned a place in her heart because it reminded her a lot of the Hightowers. From color to cunning, because for the Slytherin House, family came first, then power. Leaving the family in shame was not something the Slytherins would forgive.

That is why family problems stayed within the family. They weren't going to allow something to be used against them. They were not going to give the enemy weapons to attack them. This made Deianeira smile, for it is something the Targaryens could not understand and now her house was destroyed.

Slytherins have always been purebloods since their beginnings in Ireland. Their blood is enriched from different families, because they usually did not marry each other. They were an extremely rich and powerful family not only magically, but politically as well. They were a family that produced powerful and intelligent witches and wizards, the Elite. It was clear that bearing the Slytherin surname was quite an honor. It was almost royalty. And everyone knew the rules. Never was a member to leave the family in shame, or they would be expelled from the line and their Slytherin surname would disappear. Literally, their Slytherin blood would be erased and with it their ability to speak Parseltongue, if they had such a gift. Because of this, his descendants would not carry Slytherin blood and would not have the right to the name and what it includes, such as power and wealth. That is why the members knew very well how they should behave in front of the magical world.

However, the Slytherins had also always been known for their great beauty, for being the only house to have the ability to speak the Parseltongue language, for their great magical power, their inclination to the dark arts and for being elemental experts in water magic.

It is this family into which Deianeira Targaryen is born as Saoirse Slytherin, the only daughter of the Lord and Lady of the numerous Slytherin House. She had loving but strict parents and a useless older brother named Daemon Slytherin, who often reminded her of Aegon. However, she admitted that she did not feel the same affection for Daemon that she did for her sad, alcoholic older brother.

Daemon, the useless heir of the Slytherins. So useless that at only ten years old and with a younger sister of seven, the girl was considered a better heir to the Green House, which had surprised Saoirse. Although Rhaenyra was named heir, the family had been divided by such a choice fron the King. In this case, the entire family seemed to agree, or at least, they did not show if they were unhappy about such a decision.

Saoirse could see that if they left the house in her brother's hands, it would fall like a house of cards, and she wasn't the only one to think so. Because although it was in a time where women did not have power and it was not well regarded for them to have it, the Slytherins considered putting a woman on the throne if with that, they did not lose the crown. So between a male but mediocre heir, and a young woman with everything necessary to succeed, it was easy to see her as an excellent candidate for the throne. Which was proven when Soirse was contacted by the Imperial Academy of Arcane Arts in China, the best magic school in the world.

Things take a turn when, at the age of eighteen, his twenty-one-year-old older brother ran away from home after a woman from an unattractive family. Her father tried to erase him from the family tree, but he didn't do it for the simple fact that if something happened to Soirse, at least the family fortune would stay in the family.

This is how Soirse Slytherin is declared the heir to House Slytherin.

And years later, when her brother returns on his knees, the family does not accept him and he leaves with his children, without money and without prestige, while he filled the heads of his children with the greatness of the Slytherins, begging them to do everything for power and to obtain that surname and the benefits that this entails.

The years passed, and once she was twenty-two, her father finally left her the crown and Saoirse became Lady Slytherin. She ran Slytherin House with a cold head and took it upon herself to get her enemies out of her way, without giving them opportunities to fight her. Her peace was so great that for a moment she thought this was how this life would be, until she met three people who would change the course of this life.

Godric Gryffindor with incredible sword skills, but also an excellent duelist. Helga Hufflepuff, incredibly hardworking, and all that work of hers paid off and she was able to earn her place as one of the best duelists. Rowena Ravenclaw, incredibly intelligent, considered even the smartest in the world thanks to her prodigious mind. That day they became inseparable and would create a legend that would never die and a legacy that would live forever in the form of Hogwarts, the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As founders, it was obvious that they were going to create the school in their image. This is how the four houses and the Sorting Hat were born. And then, that beautiful June 12, 990, Hogwarts school finally opens its doors to every magical child from around the world who would like to study within its deceptive walls. And little by little, Hogwarts grew to become one of the best schools in the wizarding world.

Until everything collapsed. Because although Saoirse didn't hate muggles, she knew what a threat they were, knowing they would grow and how dangerous their technology will be. She knew this better than anyone because of her life as Tonya Stark. Humans were never going to stop their advances until they killed each other. She added the witch hunts, with many wizards and witches ending up burned at the stake, including children. The sad thing was that some of those people didn't even have magic. Her beliefs led to her being accused and expelled from her own school, from which she left, but not before leaving them with a warning. Saoirse thought they were stupid, but they would see their mistakes. She fulfilled her role.

It was years later, living quietly in another country, that she learned of the decline of Hogwarts. By then, Lady Saoirse felt sadness before continuing to lead Slytherin House to greatness. Her place was to serve the house until she found an heir worthy of continuing to expand the name of the house of the snake.

Lady Saoirse Slytherin lived for nearly two hundred years, ruling her house from afar until she passed her locket to the one she chose as her successor. She died surrounded by family and without any children of her own, but not alone. By the time her successor died and a new head was installed, the Saoirse Slytherin Locket, created by the woman herself, began to be used to crown the next heir.

What she loved most in this life was her hair, that was the first thing she noticed.

Long and like fire, it reminded her of her beloved and sad mother, Alicent Hightower, whom she often saw brushing her hair gently, and even sometimes let her brush it herself, listening to the praise her daughter gave to her hair.

"As red as fire, Mother."

So Deianeira Targaryen, now Elodie Bayford, took care of her hair as if it were the most precious thing in her life. A memory of her that kept her sane and that reminded her of her beloved family even after so many years.

Besides that, she could tell that even though she didn't have that many luxuries and her people were dying of hunger and cold, Elodie was happy. She had a loving father, a good stepmother, and a cute little sister who followed her around like a duckling. Things could be better and she did what she could for her people.

This is why she decides to accept Queen Isabelle of Aurea's proposal to marry her only son, Prince Henry, even though she does not want to be tied to any man and wishes to live this life in peace. But she better than anyone knew that it was a sacrifice to be born into royalty and besides, she didn't want to fail her father, so she accepts just to help her impoverished people.

Upon arriving, Elodie was not going to deny that that kingdom was a dream. Fruit and vegetable crops ran for endless miles, promising food to her people in the snow. The great towers of pure gold shining in the sun promised her a life full of that luxury that she was accustomed to. It was definitely beautiful, and although she preffered the palace she lived in as Empress Athanasia, Aurea wasn't bad. She had to admit that she loved seeing dragon heads as she sailed to reach Aurea. She was fascinated to see the creature that was the emblem of her House, the Targaryens.

When she arrives, she is quickly almost thrown into Henry's arms, and while Henry wasn't the most handsome man she had ever seen, she decided to behave because she was royalty and she wasn't going to stoop like that. Furthermore, that prince would feed her family and her people. They spent some time getting to know each other and Elodie admits that she was amused when he played along and they both ran away from the guards. They even become closer when he admits his desire to travel, something that Elodie wanted. Not only because she has always been a princess who liked to move and fight, much like her uncle, Daemon Targaryen, but because she had already sat on several thrones and each one was heavier than the last. She wanted to be free.

Unfortunately, she cannot be free, even when her stepmother begs her not to marry and even when Elodie knows something is wrong. She has been a princess several times and has lived several lives, she knows something is wrong with the woman. Sadly, she can do nothing but follow her path, even if it leads her to a dangerous future.

The wedding was nothing big for Elodie, who remembers weddings in Westeros and her own in Obelia. Her dress had many pieces and was too white for her taste, but she did not complain and stood like a doll, even though she thought that her dress was somewhat ugly and that she wanted to get married in another color. Elodie did not complain and she married Henry.

After the wedding, they go up to that mountain, where she sees people wearing masks and sees the Queen dressed as a priestess. All to celebrate their union. The queen begins to talk about the pact between the first king and a dragon, where three daughters had to be sacrificed for peace. Honestly, the only thing she could hear was the fact that dragons apparently existed. Her blood burned with happiness.

They give her a coin to throw into the abyss, and when she is carried by Henry, Elodie thought that maybe her stepmother was just a little nervous. It seemed that the coin was the payment. That's what she thought before being thrown into the abyss as if she were trash. As she falls screaming, Elodie swears revenge. She was never one to forgive those who committed the mistake to mess with her.

Amongst stones and darkness, she can see items of what could be nothing more than items from past princesses and this only confirms Elodie's suspicion, she is the sacrifice. She curses them a hundred times in her head, and she vows to burn them alive.

While walking, she ends up entering a cave, where she finds a burning bird and rushes to put it out before an entire flock of burning birds descends on the cave and attacks her. That's when the dragon appears and asks her name and mocks her. Elodie, although she loves dragons, knows that this is one is different, so she hides from her and responds firmly, without showing fear.

The dragon does not seem to like this because she begins to chase Elodie and burn her leg while she is escaping, promising that she would hunt her and put an end to her noble blood. But Elodie was nothing more than a warrior, so she bandages her leg and knows that her ancestors would want her to fight, she was a Targaryen, one of the fiercest. So she starts exploring the surroundings and finds an illuminated cave, where there are glowing worms. Among so much darkness her answer to having light is in front of her, so she collects glowing worms as a source of light.

Shortly after, Elodie finds water and tries to drink it but it was terribly dirty, then she notices icicles melting above her head and tilts her head back to drink. She doesn't know what possessed her to close her eyes, but she feels light on her face and opens them, only to see the dragon about to breathe fire. The fire melts the ice and Elodie manages to escape, only to find a small cave with a note telling her that she is safe there.

She looks around the place, only to find a wall with the names of past victims and a carved map. The princesses died, but each of them left a little behind so that the next ones would have a chance to go out and succeed where they failed. Tired, Elodie decides to sleep and upon waking up, she sees that the glowing worms have healed the burn on her leg and her other minor wounds.

Now awake, Elodie decides to follow the map to get out. Her entire journey takes her to a high vertical drop on the mountainside, a dead-end path, where she discovers the remains of the dragon's dead offspring and, therefore, the true reason for the sacrifices. Elodie feels anger and sadness, dragons being her favorite being since she was a child. She caresses the dragons' eggs and feels a low tear for what they could not be. She sees them, and she swears that the Kingdom of Aurea would be burned to the ground.

To her sadness, a rescue group led by her father arrives at the cave, only to be killed by the dragon, although the distraction allows Elodie to climb a rope to escape the mountain, where she sees some horses and escapes, hiding under a rock while the angry dragon illuminated the skies with her angry fire.

The conflagration alerts Isabelle that Elodie's sacrifice has failed, prompting her to kidnap Elodie's sister Floria as a replacement. This leads to Elodie returning to rescue her after meeting her stepmother and her telling her what happened on the boat. Thank the gods, the dragon leaves Floria alive as bait for Elodie, although she creates a distraction in order to save her sister.

She confronts the dragon, fascinated by how beautiful she was and the fact that she could speak the human tongue. She wished Vhagar could speak to her like that. Her bond with her beautiful Dragon Queen is very strong alone, if they could communicate so clearly with the human tongue, Deianeira Targaryen would have been unstoppable. But those are thoughts for later, because now she is trying to convince the dragon that they had both been tricked by the Aureans.

The dragon does not believe her and attacks her but Elodie tricks her and the dragon burns herself. And although the dragon thought that this was how her life would end, Elodie couldn't kill a dragon, much less one who was deceived and used so cruelly, so she uses the glowing worms and cures her, promising that they would get revenge.

And what revenge it would be, because the dragon lets her ride on her back and they both escape from the mountain, just to get to the wedding. And Elodie interrupts the wedding, dirty, without shoes, with her long hair in a rather disheveled bun, without her dress and full of blood. She tells the new bride to take her family and leave, they were innocent and Deianeira was no tyrant.

Elodie looks at the royal family and smiles, whispers a soft inaudible Dracarys and watches as the dragon burns the family, their screams were like a lullaby to her ears. Elodie walks across the bridge, not even turning to see the great kingdom of Aurea burned to the ground by dragon fire.

As she walks, a giant shadow appears over her, the dragon was with her as her new companion and both would travel the world conquering everything in their path until death claimed Elodie in her old age.

As if to kick her in the butt, fate sent her to a life that would teach her the true pain of war and who were the ones who really suffered in it.

She was born Hua Mulan, a Chinese girl in a small village with a big family. Her father, Hua Zhou, was a man in the army, and it seems that he was left wanting to have a son because he took it upon himself to teach her martial arts and the sword in a way that she had never seen before. As Deianeira and even as Athanasia, she had used the sword and her body to defend herself and defeat her opponent. However, the martial arts that her father in this life had taught her surpassed everything she knew in some ways.

Her body felt light and almost jello-like with the incredible way she moved. She couldn't see herself like that, but she thought that she should look almost like a goddess with the way her body seemed to fly. So like the Warrior Princess that she was, Mulan took the teachings of her father as a dragon to the sky. She swallowed without chewing each of her teachings, even as her delicate hands gained calluses and as her body matured into a lethal weapon, ignoring the complaints of the women of the family and the village. Hua Mulan ignored everything, it is not the first time that she was criticized and she knew that it would not be the last, it is one of the chains that she had to drag with her for being born as a woman.

She grew up training and being the apple of her father's eye. Hua Mulan thought that this life would be peaceful, simple. But at fifteen years old, just at that age, the war against the Rouran broke out and her country needed all its soldiers, including her already old father with a wound in his leg that left him lame for life. Hua Mulan knew, everyone knew, that he would not survive. But if Hua Zhou did not go to war as the imperial mandate said, he and his family would be severely punished.

Hua Mulan was nothing if not loyal to those who were loyal to her, so it was she who took the heavy and large armor, the great sword, and her father's horse to ride to the training ground under the male name of Hua Ping. Knowing that she would be punished with death if they found out that she was in fact a woman, she cut her hair and posed as a man.

The training was even harder than her father's, but nothing so difficult that she couldn't keep up, quickly becoming an excellent soldier. With her power and skill, Hua Mulan quickly climbed the ranks of the army alongside Wentai, another soldier who learned of her secret and decided to keep it to prevent her death. It wasn't long before her great deeds soon crowned her general, alongside Wentai, of the Chinese army in a short time during a war that lasted years.

The war lasts a hard and sad twelve years, where Deianeira Targaryen, not Tonya or Athanasia or Mulan, it is Deianeira Targaryen who sees the cruelty of war and knows that it is not something she truly enjoys. Seeing her soldiers die so cruelly without being able to see their families one last time is something she knows she doesn't like. She is made for war, she shows it, but it is not something she likes, even though her blood sings when she is bathed in the blood of the enemy.

Finally, the war ends when Wentai reveals himself as the Seventh Prince and is betrothed to one of the enemy princesses to finally bring peace between both sides and prevent further bloodshed.

Hua Mulan returns to the Wei capital, where she reveals herself to be a woman, not the male general everyone thought she was. She was supposed to be punished, she had violated the emperor's law, but her services, her deeds and her victories were not something that could be ignored, so the emperor forgave her, accepting that she was an exceptional woman and one of the best generals that the empire had seen. The Emperor gives her a beautiful decorative gold sword with the Emperor's emblem as a recognition and symbol of her service to the Empire. He offers her any prize, any wish she had. However, after so many years away from her family and without news from the, Hua Mulan only asks to return home to take care of her sick father, proving her great faithfulness. Her parents in this life had truly loved her and she also have immense affection for them.

Truly, no woman can ever compare to the bravery and loyalty of that young girl who took her father's armor and showed up at the training camp to fight in a war that seemed to have no end. All to return with the highest honors and with a legend that would be repeated for centuries.

Arriving at her village and meeting her father, Hua Mulan kneels before him and presents him with the sword, her gaze lowered under her father's gaze. Her hands, full of calluses and scars from the war, did not tremble.

“I have brought honor to the family.”

Her father just hugs her, and Hua Mulan feels at peace, knowing that her family, especially her father, loved her even after running away and risking the family to certain death for breaking the law. Instead, she returned as one of her most decorated generals, wielding a sword with the Emperor's emblem and bringing great honor to her family.

Shortly after, she sees Wentai, who, in love, asks her to run away with him. Hua Mulan smiles, she knows very well the price of the crown and the duty to the kingdom when you are royalty, so she tells him that it is best for the country for the marriage to happen. Wentai accepts her decision and hugs her. Hua Mulan didn't love him, not like a man, but she had immense familial love for him and she hoped he would be happy.

She would be, and she was until the end of her days.

One of the many memories she have made throughout her lives but that is still one of the clearest is when she is a few years old.

Her father is a massive dark-skinned man with tribal tattoos. He was almost naked with only a loincloth, as well as her mother and the group of people surrounding her. She remembered having a crown of burning leaves on her hair like fire and sitting on her knees on a piece of a cut tree, with her father in front of her kneeling before her as if she were a goddess on earth. Around her, and coming out of her hair, was pure hot red lava, burning everything but her. That is one of the most vivid memories she has in her head and something she does not forget even when she grows up and travels to her next lives.

Then her parents die and she becomes one of the highest-paid super models in the world. Her Quirk, a literally supernatural ability that granted powers, was strong enough to make her a powerful heroine or an untouchable villain, however, Deianeira, now Nakamura Teka (Teka was her name), was not simple enough to put herself in a position of the two categories like the other idiots in the world, so she chose modeling with the incredible body and beauty that the gods had given her. In fact, her Lava Quirk, which kept her hair extremely long and the color of  literal boiling lava,  only made her a specimen worth admiring.

She gained fame, money and respect. Her life takes a turn when she meets Todoroki Yoshino. Yoshino was a man much taller than her and muscular, with charming black eyes and hair of the same color. He was much gentler and had a friendlier personality than Teka, who could be as cruel as lava. It was a contrast, two opposite poles that somehow ended up together.

But this was the first time, in all her lives, that Deianeira admitted that she really loved a man. A man with a Telekinesis Quirk and a multi-million dollar company who treated her like a goddess on earth. She doesn't know if it's his kindness or what, but she was totally attracted to him and she didn't hesitate to hook her claws on Yoshino, scaring away the other cats who wanted to stay with the man. It was a lost fight, Teka was much more beautiful and she did not hesitate to cajole him as long as he did not look at any other woman.

They soon got married and the famous Nakamura Teka became Todoroki Teka, supermodel and wife of the powerful Todoroki Yoshino. She admits that those were happy years with Yoshino, and even more so when the news of her pregnancy was revealed. Yoshino had touched the sky when he found out that his wife was pregnant.

A few months later, he fell even more in love when Teka gave birth to a fat, red-haired, blue-eyed baby, identical to his mother and with the same grumpy attitude. Both parents spoiled Todoroki Enji like the only son he was, there was nothing they didn't give him. Teka was a powerful and strict mother who was not afraid to turn to other mothers and emphasize that her Enji was better than their brats. Yoshino was always spoiling Enji and was the undisputed favorite.

Having been married for only ten years and with an eight-year-old Enji, the small Todoroki family becomes even smaller when Yoshino is killed in a villain attack, leaving his beautiful wife and grumpy son alone.

Teka feels a deep pain, as if she had lost a part of herself because she had truly loved Yoshino and the beautiful years he gave her. But she was a strong woman and she took the reins of the companies and took care of her son as a single mother. No matter how many suitors threw themselves at her, no one would ever make her take any last name other than Todoroki. So she kept the companies afloat until her son revealed to her that he wanted to be a hero and not a businessman. Two pairs of blue eyes collided with each other with the same coldness, waiting for the other's response.

“Very well, if you want to be a hero that's what you will be. And mom will be in charge of sending you to the best school for heroes.”

Teka wasn't going to break her son's dreams, she was going to boost them. So she sent trainers to Enji so that when the time comes, he would be more than qualified to enter the best hero school. She would take charge of the companies, and in the future her son would give her grandchildren, one of them would have to take her position as CEO.

With the support of his powerful mother and his hard work, Enji entered the best school, graduated and climbed the ranks as if he were climbing some stairs until he was crowned Top 2 in Japan. He later married Yukimura Rei and had his first child, Todoroki Touya, with a powerful Quirk and a resemblance to Teka and Enji. He quickly became Teka's favorite even over Enji much to his annoyance, although Touya decided to follow in his father's footsteps.

Then he had the beautiful Fuyumi, who had nothing but the best dresses from her multi-billionaire grandmother, although Fuyumi decided to be a teacher. Then Natsuo arrived, and Teka saw hope in her youngest grandson yet, so she named him her heir and took him under her wing. Finally, and the best for last (according to Shouto), Shouto was born, who with his great Quirk of ice and fire, decided to follow in the footsteps of his father and older brother and become a hero.

The Todoroki Family became synonymous with beauty, power and wealth. From the incomparable goddess Todoroki Teka, to the best and most powerful Todoroki Shouto (once again, according to Shouto himself). An untouchable family, full of powerful members. Teka taught them nothing less than love and respect for each other, so they became a happy family.

With Natsuo as heir, Teka just bided her time, and this time she left in a huge explosion, burning herself to protect her family from a villainous attack.

In another life, perhaps things would be more different. An abusive father, an institutionalized mother, a burned son, an ignored daughter, an abandoned son, and an abused son. But as we have already been shown, there are many worlds and this is just one of them that took a different turn than many others.

For this life, Deianeira was not naive anymore to think that it would be a peaceful life, especially with a crazy but highly admired scientist like Dr. Kabuto Juzo as her grandfather  (and guardian after the death of her parents in an accident in a laboratory)  and with a super energetic younger brother like Kabuto Shiro. Both extremely protective of the only woman in the family, even when she could kick their asses.

Even when she reached her adolescence in complete peace, she did not lowered her guard, Kabuto Kaya was not willing to risk it, so she waited patiently for what was to come, since she firmly believed that the gods were not going to send her to a peaceful world.

It is at the age of seventeen that what she had been waiting for so long arrives when she and her brother find Rumi, their nanny, dead in the house. When they inform their grandfather, he summons them to his house, and when they arrive they find the house collapsed due to an explosion. When they search for their grandfather and go down some stairs that lead to an underground laboratory, they find their grandfather terribly injured. Kaya knew he wouldn't survive, so she took it upon herself to listen to everything she had to say.

She was surprised that a certain Dr. Hell was the one who ordered the death of her grandfather due to his knowledge and his interventions to stop his plans. However, even after his death, he left help in the form of his greatest invention made especially for his granddaughter; Minerva X. Once in the robot and during her first fight, Kaya meets those who would become her fighting partner, Yumi Seiya, and a great ally of hers, Dr. Yumi. This is how she begins her fight against Dr. Hell and his army of Mechanical Beasts.

In a fight that lasted for years, Dr. Hell was in charge of sending beast after beast after Kaya and Minerva X, each beast rare and new and with different abilities that although at first managed to kick Kaya's butt, in the end she managed to defeat them.

Although the strangest robot and the one she could never forget is undoubtedly Mazinger Z. Designed by Juzo but built by Dr. Hell, Mazinger Z should have been Minerva X's companion, with its own pilot. Unfortunately, being built by Dr. Hell and without Super Alloy Z, Mazinger Z ended up being a much weaker product. It was a much larger and taller robot than Minerva X, without a doubt, controlled by an independent Artificial Intelligence that seemed to feel an attraction to Minerva X, and thus, towards Kaya too. Due to his attraction to Minerva, which caused his betrayal, Dr. Hell sent another mechanical beast and controlled Mazinger Z, causing him to be sadly destroyed by Seiya when he became the enemy.

Kaya couldn't help but feel some sadness, as it reminded her of JARVIS, who showed her day by day that he was more than an AI and that there was actually something more human there. As a futurist and lover of robotics, seeing Mazinger Z die did make her sad. She therefore gave him a rest in the ocean, hoping to bring him back one day or let him rest forever in those waters.

Unfortunately, the battle does not end there and her life continues to be attacked by Dr. Hell, Baron Ashura and the mechanical beasts, all with the intention of obtaining the Super Alloy Z and ruling the world with his mechanical beasts.

Finally, when Dr. Morimori dies, Kaya decides it is time to take the fight to Dr. Hell's doorstep, and ultimately takes him and Count Brocken down, finally bringing some peace to Japan, although Kaya feared knowing that Archduke Gorgon was still alive. She is proven right when while still recovering, Japan is attacked by the forces of the Mycenae Empire, a new and more dangerous enemy.

Although Kaya and Minerva X fought valiantly, they were both still injured from their fight against Dr. Hell and the precious Super Alloy Z seemed to offer no protection against the attacks from those mechanical beasts way more powerful than those created by Dr. Hell.

Defeated, she cannot believe this would be the end, especially when the beasts turn their attention to the Photon Power Laboratory. Thank the gods, the Great Mazinger appears with his pilot, Tsurugi Tetsuya. With the Mycenaean defeated for now, Kaya and Seiya are sent to the United States so they can continue their studies interrupted by the constant attacks of the mechanical beasts, leaving the safety of Japan in the hands of Tetsuya and Jun.

Things should have remained peaceful, and this should have been Kaya's last fight and the Great Mazinger and Tetsuya's chance to finally put an end to the Mycenaean once and for all and bring peace to Japan and the world. This is what was thought when the Mycenaean took a step back and left the surface. However, the Mycenaean were more numerous than previously believed with even more powerful mechanical beasts and were only gathering their numbers to attack again.

So when the Great General of Darkness rose from Earth to tell humanity that he would rule the world, Kaya and her friends' vacation in Italy was over and they quickly returned to Japan to pilot Minerva X once for all.

Unfortunately, even with the Great Mazinger, Minerva X, Venus A and all the Mazin Army, they couldn’t win against the enemy and in one of the attacks, Kaya ended up very injured and Minerva X ended up totally destroyed, having fainted and with no knowledge that the Pilder was piloting itself until it took her to a laboratory hidden behind a waterfall. There she learns that her grandfather built an even more powerful robot, since being aware of the forces of the Mycenaean Empire, he built a robot for her, Mazinkaiserin, who would be much more powerful and with an even stronger alloy.

Thanks to her experience as Tonya, Mazinkaiserin proved easy to control, and Kaya was able to kill all the beasts in her path, until the final battle, with the Mazin Army spread across the world to wipe out the other mechanical beasts, Kaya and Mazinkaiserin defeat the Great General of Darkness and his forces, thus ending a long war that lasted for many years.

With no more enemies left, Mazinkaiserin did not have to leave the laboratory again, as she fulfilled her role as guardian of the world. However, there was not a day that Kaya did not visit her partner. And when she married Seiya and had children, she took it upon herself to show them Mazinkaiserin to keep her name alive forever. 

This life taught her that even the gods are not perfect and humans, made in their image, are not perfect.

Deianeira didn't know, but by the time she was born, her father had  literally swallowed her older sisters (Hestia, Hera and Demeter) and her older brother, Hades. In the future she would think that she could not question the methods of divine beings, but she did not know what went through her father's mind when he swallowed his children. Strangely, he swallowed everyone except her. Deianeira never knew exactly why, but she suspected it was the fact that according to her mother, she was the only one who got her father's red eyes and hair, but she had identical features to her mother.

Years later she would learn that her father swallowed his children due to the prophecy of the Primordial Uranus, who prophesied that Kronos would be dethroned by his own children. Therefore, to stop the prophecy, he swallowed his first daughter, and since she apparently did not learn from that fact, Rhea continued to have children who continued to be swallowed by Kronos until her birth stopped the chain, at least for a time.

When she was born, of all the children he had ignored and that her mother named, Kronos was the one who gave her the name Adamas, Goddess of Conquest. She was the only one of her children that he ever held in his arms.

Adamas was identical to Kronos when it came to hair and eye color, but her delicate complexion was identical to Rhea and Kronos did not have the heart to eat the only girl who was identical to his beloved wife. Thanks to that, Adamas was not swallowed. And for many years the couple did not have more children, satisfied with the success that was Adamas, who grew up being the Princess of the Cosmos. Everyone ignored the other gods swallowed by Kronos and Adamas at that time did not even know of the prophecy, much less of the siblings swallowed by her father. Therefore, Adamas grew up as an only child and as the golden child of Kronos, the light of his eyes, his greatest pride.

When Adamas was finally able to understand her domains of conquest, Kronos took her under his wing and trained her as soon as Adamas began to walk. He trained and raised her to conquer the stars in the name of Kronos and his reign. Adamas felt like Zuri once again, being her father's jury, judge and executioner. She was his strongest soldier and his most loyal general. She was responsible for bringing to their knees anyone who dared even think about going against Kronos. Adamas conquered and brought her heads as an offering to her father.

Adamas became a renowned divinity. Her name was exalted by humans and feared by other divinities. Kronos's right hand and his only daughter, his most precious jewel. Adamas was untouchable. However, not even all that love and loyalty they felt for each other was enough for what was to come and what would tip the balance. Kronos trusted and ignored all the signs and in front of the eyes of his adored Adamas, he swallowed his new son. He ignored the adoration with which his daughter viewed the baby god and did with the newborn Poseidon what he did with the previous ones.

Because Kronos may have been a somewhat decent father and had softened in front of Adamas, but Kronos didn't feel any love for the blonde baby and just swallowed that silent baby who did nothing but stare at nothing the whole time. Adamas stayed silent and waited, but it didn't last long before she decided to go against Kronos, ready to defeat him and save her baby brother who lay in the stomach of her cruel father.

Despite all her years with different lives, Kronos was a Titan, much more powerful and much older with time to train and develop, so Adamas put up a good fight and almost finished off Kronos, but he ends up being victorious. Faced with her defeat, Adamas thought that this would be the end of her and that her father would kill her, she was ready to welcome her next life with open arms. But Kronos just swallowed her, because despite everything, Adamas was his jewel.

It is inside where an adult Adamas meets her adult older siblings, to the surprise of both parties. Adamas because she did not know that she had more siblings, and the other gods because Adamas was an adult. With suspicion, they asked about her life but Adamas never opened her mouth, causing rumors to haunt the walls of Valhalla in the future.

On the other hand, now it was Rhea who was tired and furious and with her last pregnancy, she deceived Kronos and managed to raise her new son, Zeus. This is how Zeus grows and becomes a warrior who manages to defeat his father and become the Father of the Cosmos, leaving the Age of the Titans obsolete, giving way to the Age of the Gods.

When she emerges from her father's stomach, Deianeira curses her decisions. At what point did she become so weak? She felt furious with herself seeing the behavior of her siblings. Had she really sacrificed everything for these ingrates? Not even Poseidon, who she rebelled for, seemed to even care if she was breathing. Still, she tried to lead the party in peace and create a relationship with her siblings. Unfortunately, she was shown the worst of the gods, something so nauseating that Adamas hated her own ichor. The gods were disgusting and not even her siblings were saved from the terrible acts they committed against other divinities and especially against humans.

Zeus proved to be a terrible king and Adamas planned to remove him from the throne, so she gathered allies and went for Poseidon, since of the other Big Four, Hades would remain neutral as an older brother. Adamas entered confidently to see her favorite brother, they all disgusted her, but they were his siblings and she loved them, although Poseidon was her favorite. Poseidon is the one she spoiled since he was a child, and she was the one who raised him so genuinely she really wanted some approval or just a look to know that her rebellion was not in vain.

She cursed herself again when she was stabbed by the Tyrant of the Seas' trident. Adamas looked at him and angrily spat her blood on  Poseidon's oh-so-perfect  face, wishing it would burn his handsome face.

“Of all the worlds, this one is irritating, the next one better be better.” The whisper was literally inaudible, so much so that she didn't even hear it as if she almost didn't even speak, but Poseidon heard it.

”What?” Was what Poseidon said, confused by the words of his older sister.

But the goddess did not answer and Adamas was thrown to the wall, where she fell to the ground and smiled as she bled to death.

“What does what you just said mean?” Poseidon asked coldly.

But Adamas smiled and closed her eyes. This was a victory.

Deianeira thought it was funny that her name was Maleficent, a beautiful fairy raised in the Moors and by other fairies after the death of her parents at the hands of humans. She developed as a beautiful fairy with strong wings who, being the most powerful, watched over other fairies. She loved this life that allowed her to fly with her own wings as if she were a dragon.

Finally things change when she meets three other little fairies; Knotgrass, Flittle and Thistlewit, who tell her that a human child has been discovered among the Moors, something not only rare, but forbidden due to the fighting between them. The human was in a cave and Maleficent asks him to come out, when he comes out he introduces himself as Stefan, who took a precious gem to get out of his terrible poverty, which is why he entered the Moors. As guardian, Maleficent orders him to return the gem and throws it into the water where it belongs.

Maleficent decides to escort him out of the Moors so that Stefan doesn't go out of his way to take another gem. This is how they both find out that they are orphans. Stefan quickly wants to see her again, even though it is forbidden. However, Maleficent thinks that she could use a partner, so she accepts and when they shake hands, she closes her eyes, without showing the pain that she feels when faced with iron, a weakness for the fairies. She wasn't stupid.

Although Maleficent loves Stefan, she cannot really feel love for him until they are both teenagers, when she finally begins to see him as a man and not as a boy. So as the years go by, that friendship grows into love. Finally, after Yoshino, Deianeira allows herself to love again and on her sixteenth, Stefan and Maleficent kiss for the first time, and Stefan childishly calls it a true love's kiss.

Things don't get so cute when as she grows up, Stefan stops visiting her as much, his heart slowly giving in to temptations. On the other hand, the beautiful Maleficent grows up to become the protector of the Moors.

Coveting the treasures of the Moors, the King of the humans, Henry, begins his attacks on the creatures in the Moors. In one of their many fights, the humans do not retreat despite Maleficent's warnings, so she counterattacks and manages to mortally wound Henry, causing the immediate retreat of the humans, who understand that they will not be able to defeat Maleficent and the protective guardians of the Moors.

That same night, Stefan visits her after so long and they spend the night together like they used to. Stefan offers her a drink and without knowing it, slowly and naturally, Maleficent falls into a very deep sleep. When Maleficent wakes up and it is already daylight, the only thing she feels is an immense pain in her back and in her heart. She felt like she had suffered the worst betrayal. She cries from a broken heart and the agony of not having her precious wings, something that turned her into a dragon. Her cry was heard by the Moors.

Her crying stops, but her heart doesn't stop crying, sad and angry that she gave her heart only to have it destroyed like this. But she is a Targaryen, and she would get revenge. When she gets up from the floor, her balance was destroyed by the absence of her wings, so she takes a simple branch that she uses as a staff. The next day she saves a crow which she turns into a man, and who gives her his loyalty, becoming her wings. The first mission that Maleficent gives him is to find Stefan, the clear culprit behind her suffering.

When he returns with the news that Stefan married Princess Leila and became King, Maleficent understood. That man who promised to love her betrayed her to be King, and the cry of anger and pain was so strong that her magic was released in a torrent of green light that reached the heavens, being seen by Stefan himself, who understood that Maleficent knew the truth. He swallows and turns away, ignoring his own longing to return to the woman he truly loved.

It was a while before she received the news that Stefan had a baby. She felt distraught and she wanted Stefan to pay and she never claimed to be a good person. During Princess Aurora's baptism, the three stupid fairies present her with her gifts, but before the third could, Maleficent enters and walks in front of the monarchs.

Having Stefan tell her that she is not welcome makes Maleficent laugh in pain and anger. She would show him just how far her cruelty could go if that's what Stefan wanted to see.

“As if I care if I'm welcome or not.” She smiles.

Maleficent says that she also has a gift for the princess and without further ado, she approaches the crib. Her first words are thanked by the queen, but Maleficent's evil gaze alerts Stefan before Maleficent announces that the princess will enter a death-like sleep for all eternity from which she will not wake up once her hand is pricked by a spinning wheel on her sixteenth birthday. Stefan begs on his knees for her daughter's life, much to his humiliation and Maleficent smiles.

“Very well, so you can see how benevolent I am. Her curse can be lifted with  true love’s   kiss. No power on earth can change it!”

The mockery in her words did not go unnoticed by Stefan, who looked at her with wide eyes. She evilly leaves, admiring the chaos she created, before surrounding the Moors with impenetrable thorns to protect, she still does not know if she is protecting the Moors or her heart.

Stefan sends Princess Aurora with the three useless fairies, who have no idea how to take care of her. So the upbringing fell into the hands of Maleficent and Diaval, who didn't take long to find the girl and literally take charge of keeping her alive under the negligent hands of the three crazy fairies.

As the years passed, the more Stefen became obsessed with Maleficent and the more curious Aurora grew, eager to enter the Moors and explore, getting into trouble here and there until she finally met Meleficent face to face, calling her her fairy godmother and recognizing her as the protective shadow that has always taken care of her since she was a child. Maleficent opens the doors to the Moors for the princess, and the relationship of both women develops into one of mother and daughter without being able to avoid it, causing Maleficent to try to remove the curse only to realize that she herself said that no power in the Earth could change it.

Although she wanted to live in the Moors and Maleficent left her, when she finds out that Maleficent is the one who cursed her, Aurora flees and returns to her father, who, more than happy, seems upset and locks her up for her protection.

On the other hand, although Maleficent had revealed to Diaval that she cursed her like that because she didn't believe in true love, she thinks that Prince Phillip could be her only way out when he fell in love with Aurora. However, when she arrives and he kisses her, Aurora does not wake up. She tearfully apologizes to her sleeping goddaughter and kisses her goodbye on her forehead. However, just before she can get away from her, a miracle occurs and Aurora wakes up. Maleficent's strong and genuine maternal love for Aurora was enough to break the curse she herself had cast.

They stupidly try to stop Maleficent with chains, which, since they are not made of iron, do not last long. Maleficent smiles when she sees that her not revealing that weakness of hers years ago was saving her. So she easily took off her chains, only to shortly after feel her beloved wings on her back, which Stefan had taken as a trophy. A fight breaks out in which Stefan, with iron armor and weapons, managed to hurt her here and there, to the point of even taking her by the foot with a chain from which she managed to free herself and even spared his life. Luckily, useless Stefan didn't take the mercy Maleficent gave him and attacked her, only to forget that Maleficent had wings and he didn't and so he fell to his death.

With peace finally restored between the two kingdoms, Maleficent tears down the wall of thorns because the barrier is no longer needed and returns the Moors to their former beauty. She passes the crown from her to Aurora, making her Queen of both the human and Moorish kingdoms, unifying the kingdoms forever. Maleficent then flies happily through the skies with Diaval at her side and would remain so until the end of this life.

After so many lives, Deianeira was not exactly the same young woman who had died at the hands of her uncle. Her beliefs were not the same and her faith with the Seven no longer existed. She knew there was more to the world and that her past beliefs only blinded her. The Seven not only blinded women but kept them submissive and powerless. Deianeira knew that things were not like this and they should not continue like this.

Therefore, when they were born and being twins condemned them to be seen as bad omens, especially Tsugikuni Yoriichi since she ended up being a girl and not the boy his father expected, Deianeira smiled, apparently this new world was not very different from her own. They didn't want girls. It wasn't something she hadn't suffered through before, so she decided to ignore it and follow her path. But being a girl, a twin, and being born with a strange mark on her forehead in the shape of a flame was enough for her father to want to kill her if it weren't because her mother fought like a possessed woman to keep her alive. It was her mother, who cared for her the most, who gave her a pair of beautiful and precious hanafuda earrings, which she never took off.

It was then decided that when she grew up, Yoriichi would be betrothed to a nobleman of good name or sent to be a nun in some convent where she would be forgotten forever. But Yoriichi was not willing to be forgotten just like that, she was much more than a simple girl and this was her last life and she was going to live it her way.

So she took it upon herself to watch her brother train and learn, she watched fencing to see what she could include in her movements or what new techniques she could learn. This is how she reveals that she wanted to be an  onna bugeisha , a woman warrior and the equivalent of a samurai. Being a woman and not favored wasn't going to help her, but her trainer humorously decided to hand her a bamboo weapon, only to be knocked down in a few moves, when her brother in years could never even touch him.

Her status definitely rose, but Yoriichi was still about to be handed over and taken away from her family, and with her mother dead, she had no backup. So one night she simply prostrated herself before her brother Michikatsu and said goodbye to him, with only a small bag and the flute that her brother gave her. And just like that, Yoriichi disappeared and the Tsugikuni family never saw her again.

Years later, on her way, she meets Uta and her partner Kisuke, with whom she formed a strong friendship that lasted for years. Sadly, returning from a trip, Yoriichi finds the bodies of Uta, Kisuke and their child Haru completely torn apart by demons. She keeps their bodies for ten days before burying them and deciding to focus on doing everything she can to defeat the demons.

A decade later, the twins meet again and the only thing Michikatsu feels is envy and hatred for the monster his sister had become. A being that went against nature. They both become demon slayers and although Yoriichi shares her knowledge, no one can match her, much less surpass her. So to accommodate her technique to each person, Yoriichi changed her breathing technique while she taught. Then, came the techniques that were derived from the Breath of the Sun, the most powerful technique created by Yoriichi. And the number of the demon slayers increased sharply and their power rose like never before. But in the end, no one could use the Breath of the Sun. And at the same time, the mark that made slayers more powerful also took their lives at an early age.

Some time later she meets the Progenitor of Demons himself, Kibutsuji Muzan, who observes her with the purest arrogance with the knowledge that no hunter is capable of touching him. Muzan gets the surprise of his life when Yoriichi's Breath of the Sun was able to pressure him and almost kill him, to the point that hundreds of years later, the slightest memory of her causes fear in the demon. However, Muzan survives and escapes alive, leaving behind a demon that Yoriichi let live.

But upon returning, Yoriichi was deemed to have failed to defeat Kibutsuji, let a demon escape, and her brother had become a demon. So she was exiled from the demon slayer organization, despite her being the most powerful slayer and the creator of the breaths that now put slayers on the same level as demons. In fact, some even wanted her to commit suicide for not achieving what they themselves had not even been able to do in years, with Yoriichi being the only one who came closest to killing the demon king.

Fortunately, the patron and head of the Ubuyashiki was only six years old back then, so he did not have the heart to not only kill his best slayer, but a woman and especially one so good and calm who clearly had incredibly sad eyes. Therefore, the boss did not allow Yoriichi to be touched, although he exiled her and left her keep her sword.

Shortly after that discovery and her exile, Yoriichi did not see her brother again for the next few decades until, now old and blind, she met him again on a night with a full moon, surprising her brother when he saw her still alive with that mark that claimed the lives of so many slayers. This only served to assure Michikatsu once again that Yoriichi was going against every rule of natural.

Yoriichi was always able to feel and see the hatred in her brother, she simply ignored it without knowing how to make Michikatsu understand that the only thing Yoriichi wanted was her older brother's approval, his love and affection. She was proud of her power, but it wasn't something she showed off in front of the world to upset her brother. If Michikatsu had asked, she herself would have taught him everything she knows. But she knew Michikatsu wouldn't accept such help.

So they fought, and Michikatsu felt that Yoriichi fought as if she were in her most supreme youth and as if she were not blind. He knows that if only her sister had given one more breath, she would have taken his head off, so he takes hers instead. He sees her head flying and her long white hair being cut off, while he sees that old flute he created for her. Michikatsu took it and left, knowing that the most powerful demon slayer in history had died.

“We see each other once again, Deianeira. How was your trip?”

Deianeira Targaryen observes the Conqueror, who was observing her while sitting from that uncomfortable throne with that heavy crown, she knew that very well now.

“It filled me with a lot of knowledge. It taught me what I am capable of, and that the throne is a sacrifice, nothing more than pretty gold chains that don't let me be free.”

“And that's what will make you a great queen.” Assured the former king. “Knowing the sacrifice of the throne will make you a conscious ruler who will always have her people in mind.”

“I don't want the iron throne.” She admitted full of bitterness. She wanted freedom. She was a dragon and she wanted to fly through the sky for her entire life.

“Unfortunately for you, my little destroyer of men, the gods don't want it that way. And who are we to go against the gods?”

The bitterness returned with even greater force. Oh, she knows very well that mortals have no say in the decisions of the gods, she was able to witness that firsthand in two lives. However, it doesn't mean that she should be happy knowing that she can never be free. That she would once again be chained to a throne. She was even sadder because she knew that she would be willing to do anything for her people.

“How will I sit on the throne without starting a war?”

Aegon looked at her and raised an eyebrow, smirking at her.

“You know very well how, dear.”

Deianeira closed her eye and didn't snort, miraculously. Marry Jacaerys? She couldn't imagine it, but she supposed that at least she wouldn't have to deal with the one who tore out her eye, Lucerys Velaryon.

“A marriage with Jacaerys Velaryon will definitely make me queen and bring peace to the kingdom.” She admitted. “The bastard blood of Rhaenyra's son on the throne with my own, linked by the following generations.”

“Believe me, I don't like having a bastard sitting on the iron throne, even if he is the son of a princess and has Valyrian blood, he is a bastard and that's it. However, it will bring peace and save House Targaryen from its terrible future. But as rulers, we must make sacrifices and this is one of them.”

As he spoke, Aegon walked down the steps of the iron throne until he was facing Deianeira. In the end, he put his hands on her cheeks, and their gazes collided. 

“Your reign will be magnificent, the gods have told me and not only do I trust them, but I trust the fierce princess who has my sword and who bears the name of Deianeira.” He tells her with a smile.

“You have a lot of trust in me, Your Majesty.”

Aegon laughed and gently guided her to the iron throne. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for her to come up. Deianeira took a sigh and with that walk that distinguished her and the same one that she used in every life where she was a monarch, she climbed those steps without looking at the ground, with her forehead straight. When she arrived, she turned around and sat on the iron throne, crossing her legs, which were hugged by high leather boots, as Deianeira was dressed in pants and a shirt, ready to fight.

“We will be watching you,  destroyer of men.”

And after the words of Aegon the Conqueror, Deianeira Targaryen closed her eyes.

Deianeira Targaryen opened her eyes in what seemed like an instant. With a sigh, she got up from her bed and walked to the mirror with complete calm, as if waking up after so many years in her old room was something normal.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was a girl no more than maybe eight years old, with long platinum hair stretched out completely, with two juicy pink lips in a line, a small, pink nose and with two big amethyst eyes. Her reflection smiled and her mind began to scheme.

After so many years she had returned so early that she was sure she could fix everything. She could grow and earn the love of her people. Show the kingdom how intelligent and good queen she would be if she sat on the throne. She didn't care what Rhaenyra did if it made her look much better than her older sister, something not difficult considering that Rhaenyra never did anything for her people, nor did she show any interest in them.

Deianeira knew very well that the people were the ones who really governed. Being a ruler meant being the first servant of the people. You could do something for yourself, but if you went too far and angered the kingdom, they would take you down from the top and take away your crown if they wanted. She saw it a lot in ancient monarchs while she was studying history in her life as Tonya Stark.

She wasn't going to be like them. She was going to succeed where they all failed. She was going to succeed where Viserys failed. She was going to succeed where Rhaneyra failed. She was going to sit on top one way or another, and if that meant she was going to have to move some people out of her way, well, she never claimed to be a good person.

Her first step would be to obtain Vhagar, her beloved Dragon Queen. Once she had her most faithful companion at her side, the rest would be easy. Of course, she wasn't going to risk it again and go after her during Laena Velaryon's funeral, she was going to wait for the right moment to ask if she could try to bond with the greatest dragon of these times. Once with Vhagar, that would show her as a capable and powerful Targaryen, with the greatest dragon at her side.

Then, little by little she would persuade his beloved mother so that the Hightowers would visit the people and show themselves as good, kind and humble rulers. Once the Hightowers gained the affection of the people, her mother would no longer be ignored as she always was, and she would get what she wanted and be closer to completing her plans. Finally, it was all about establishing a marriage with Jacaerys and she only had to manipulate her father.

Deianeira smiled.

The real game was about to begin.
