LADY ASTRAEA
It had been nearly ten hours since she had sent that kid after her familia members. From the intel the guild had provided, she knew that her children had gone to the 30th floor to deal with Rudra's familia.

VISERYS TARGARYEN
Today was supposed to be a joyous day, one where two of the realm’s strongest houses were going to ally with one another. A day where decades of animosity were to be buried with a single marriage between Alicent Hightower and Aegon Targaryen.

SAERA BLACKFYRE
Saera Blackfyre was a special child. One born with a destiny and burden that had come to her from a lineage that went back hundreds of years.
