As a story outline expert, please take the story elements provided, including setting, main conflicts, and character profiles, as well as the existing outline for the first 10 chapters (plus one scene of chapter 11), key plot points, the Midpoint, and the intended ending.
Develop a detailed outline for chapters 11 (scene 11.2 and 11.3) through the Midpoint, progressing to chapter 23, the epilogue. Structure the outline using bullet points, ensuring each chapter includes 2-3 scenes narrated from the perspectives of Rhaenyra, Nyra, or Daemion (young Daemon). As Rhaenyra is protagonist, give more narrative time to her (main plotline).
Your outline should reflect the following character developments and plot guidelines:
1. For chapters 11-13, depict Rhaenyra opting for the simplest and least effortful solutions to her challenges. This approach should culminate in a significant setback at the Midpoint, symbolized by the loss of a safe haven. 
2. In chapters 13-20, intensify the stakes, pace, and Rhaenyra’s motivation. Highlight her growth from the repercussions of her earlier choices.
3. Post-Midpoint, illustrate Rhaenyra’s realization of her precarious predicament and her exploration of more unsavory or morally grey strategies to ensure her future survival, leading her to question her previous ethics.
4. Depict Nyra’s secret romantic subplot with Daemion, despite Criston, Rhaena and Baela’s hindering. After midpoint Rhaenyra realizes that magic ritual’s goal is to make Nyra and Daemion parents of Jace and Luke so Rhaenyra will low-key aid Nyra and Daemion’s romantic affair. Nyra will realize she is pregnant from Daemion after plot point 2.
5. The war hasn’t started it, the plot shows subtle attempts to eliminate rivals before king’s death. 
6. Nyra and Daemion can’t leave the island due to the magical boundaries. All others, including Rhaenyra can but she is heavily pregnant and Daemon asked her to avoid leaving the castle for long. Rhaenyra doesn’t send her children far away, only to the nearest loyal vassals.

<backstory>
<premise>
On the verge of her king-father’s Viserys I passing, the crown princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (protagonist) longs to secure her children’s lives and family legacy (objective). However, when her younger self and younger version of her uncle are wrenched from the past due to a magical misstep (disaster), she’s thrust into a battle against her past mistakes (passivity and short-sightedness) and an impending civil war (conflict), challenging her to overcome personal flaws and rival political forces (opponent) to safeguard her children’s and the realm’s future.
</premise>
Genre: high fantasy plus family drama.
<thematic argument>
In order to survive and secure their family’s future in the game of thrones, one must actively engage and confront their rival factions.
</thematic argument>
<setting>
i.	The story takes place in the realm of The Seven Kingdoms.
ii.	Pre-Dance of the Dragon Era, right before the civil war. 
iii.	The timeline is changed, here it is the year 134 AC.
iv.	Dragonstone is a volcanic island at the mouth of Blackwater Bay, the second largest after Driftmark.
v.	Dragonstone Castle is a keep on the island, a traditional seat of the heir to the Iron Throne, known as the Prince(ss) of Dragonstone.
vi.	Velaryons, Celtigars, Masseys are direct vassals of Rhaenyra.
vii.	Viserys I is the current Targaryen king. He is terminally ill and bedridden. Otto Hightower rules in his stead as his Hand.
viii.	Targaryens practice incestuous marriages. It is normal for them.
ix.	The blacks are the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who support the ascent of Rhaenyra Targaryen as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
x.	The greens, originally known as the queen's party, are the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who support the future ascent of Aegon II Targaryen as King of the Seven Kingdoms.
xi.	Gods are real in this setting, but they are distant from humans. Valyrian gods can help humans in exchange for blood sacrifices.
xii.	Time travel is hardly possible. Only Gods can send someone through time. Even mages just discuss the possibility of such travel. Lucerys was not a mage and caused accidental time travel by a mistakenly mixing several spells and calling to gods.
xiii.	Time naturally resists change, and significant alterations require enormous energy or cause severe personal consequences for the time traveler, such as physical or mental strain.
xiv.	Any changes in the past could lead to a divergent timeline that exists parallel to the original. The original timeline remains unchanged, preventing paradoxes.
xv.	Some actions in the past might cause ‘echoes’ rather than direct changes, influencing people’s thoughts or decisions in the present subtly without rewriting history directly.
xvi.	Blood magic calls for rituals and spells that involve a blood sacrifice. Royals' blood is the most potent, also related life-bloods are often used to increase power. Limitations: experienced mages only; risk of fatal bleeding; fresh blood required. Resurrections achievable with character trait loss.
</setting>
<outerConflicts>
•	Rhaenyra is a designated heir to the Iron Throne, although her half-brother Aegon II should be the heir by traditions of the realm as the firstborn son of the king. Otto Hightower schemes to put Aegon II on the throne but Rhaenyra doesn’t know about it.
•	Rhaenyra disdains her younger half-siblings and that creates a rift between them.
•	Rhaenyra’s older sons look so unlike their legal father that most courtiers in the capital openly regard them as illegitimate. Seeking a meaningful relationship, she chose a man she could trust and love (Harwin). However, her older sons' appearance indicates their illegitimacy.
•	Rhaenyra left the capital six years ago, avoiding rumors about her older sons’ bastardy, therefore, she lost influence and allies at the court.
•	Rhaenyra’s younger brother Aemond lost his eye in the fight with Luke and he holds a huge grudge against him and her.
•	Rhaenyra and Daemon married right after their former spouses’ deaths, without the mourning period, causing fury of the king, courtiers, Corlys and Rhaenys.
•	Rhaenyra and Daemon orchestrated false murder of Laenor by his lover, they actually were given gold and secretly left abroad. It happened away from the court. That led to Rhaenyra’s former in-laws and critical potential allies Rhaenys and Corlys suspect her and distance from her. 
•	Many people on Driftmark and in the capital believe Daemon and Rhaenyra murdered Laenor in order to get married, although there is no direct evidence of their involvement.
•	Rhaenyra is generally happy with Daemon, but feels pressured by his insistence on preparing to the war after Viserys I death. She naively believes Alicent will follow her recent promise and accept her as the Queen.
•	Luke is a chosen future heir to Driftmark by his grandfather Corlys but Ser Vaemond petitioned King's Landing to name him Corlys' heir. 
•	Daemon chopped off Vaemond's head when he publicly insulted Rhaenyra. Enraged, Vaemond's sons left the capital upon hearing that Luke remained the Driftmark heir. 
•	During the last dinner with the king Alicent and Rhaenyra make amends by Viserys’ I request, but their sons quarreled again, showing that the rift is intergenerational now.

Midpoint (in chapter 13): Rhaenyra transitions from a defensive, reactive role to a proactive one, determined to fight back and do whatever it takes to win. This turning point may be fueled by anger towards the antagonist and a new perspective. Rhaenyra learns from mage Gaerra about the future war and upcoming death of her family from the Greens faction. Rhaenyra decides to prepare for the war.

Post-Midpoint: Rhaenyra devises a plan with her family and councilors to confront the Greens, considering potential obstacles and challenges (lack of funds, weapons, armies). Jace and Baela take active part as her heirs. 
2nd Pinch Point (second battle): marks a significant turning point in the story, where Rhaenyra faces forces representing the antagonist’s interests (Vaemond’s sons allied with Otto prevent wounded lord Corlys’ ship from returning and spread mutiny among Rhaenyra’s vassals).
2nd Plot Point (dark night of the soul): plunges Rhaenyra into her darkest hour, where she suffers a crushing defeat, Gaerra is killed, one of her sons is kidnapped, she starts her premature labor and almost ready to give in and just run away.

She has learnt about Otto's plans to crown Aegon after her father’s death. She can’t prevent it but she is better equipped for the following conflict. The final image is her standing in the Dragonstone great hall, waiting for princess Rhaenys to arrive and inform her of Viserys’ death.
 She also found a way to send Nyra, Criston and Daemion back to their time. The final image is her becoming a tough leader, ready to fight for her family.
