Astra Longbow

## The Green Witch

Astra Longbow, (Asytra Longbow or Istrian: Астра длинный лук) was a powerful Herbal Mage from Istra during the golden ages of Ieshia, and the golden ages of Istra. She was the mother of Philip I king of Ieshia, and Grandmother to Philip II of Ieshia. Astra is notably known for her role in the down fall of the Ieshian empire, and for her role in the cause of the Ieshian civil war. A powerful mage, she was trained in the Istrian arts of magic. She was also a product of the Power titan Corous.

Astra was most notably known for her role as Queen Regent of Istra when her first cousin Queen Lagamasha fell ill. She assumed this role from the years of 575 to 645. A peaceful ruler, she ruled with compassion and strength. Astra was known for fighting off rebel invaders, and Scaptian enemies.

in 598, Astra took a trip to Ieshia where her son Philip had been ruling as King. In that year, Astra had met her grandson Philip II for the first time. Him being a grown man, Astra couldn't use her charm. Philip had heard horrible things of Astra, their relationship never became more than acquaintances.

Astra had learned of the dark elves of Clifspire, also known as the Vatican. Astra being the Queen Regent, she negotiated with the dark elves, making them an ally of Istra. Being so far away the Dark Elves couldn't help in most affairs but what they could help with was spy's. Astra hired spies from the Vatican to spy in Ieshia.

In the After Ages (after her time as queen regent) Astra found her true heritage. Her "father" is Corous, the titan of power, this makes her a celestial-Istrian hybrid. This also gave her immense powers and abilities, although being immensely powerful, her abilities are often outmatched by characters such as Gabriel, Comakath, and even Corous, she is considered to be one of the most powerful characters do to her being a herbal mage and having the power Vahilementen + her powers from her father Corous. These powers remained unknown to her until Lagamashas altered timeline.

Astra had romantic relations with Pelous until his death, she considered him to be her other half, When Pelous died from Comakath she vowed to bring him back and murder Comakath, however all her attempts to kill him would fail. Pelous was her heart and soul, to him she was unbreakable glass. Her powers completely outweigh his in terms of strength, her powers are unique, while his are somewhat common.

## History

Astra was born into a very powerful family in Istra during the 4th century. Astras' mother was a very powerful and noble woman, she was very well versed in the arts of herbal magics. Astras family also competed with Queen Lagamashas family for the crown of Istra, many times a queen would die heirless, therefore the crown would pass to the next in line. This competition started back in the second century.

Astra and Lagamasha come from the same family line, the house of Istra. It eventually split into the House of Longbow (Astras line) and the Lagamasha branch. As the crown passed back and forth between each family, Lagamashas' mother Queen Eleanor had a child before she died. This finally ended the 'Crown Referral' eleven years into Lagamashas' reign she fell ill, having her cousin Astra take power as the Queen Regent of Istra.

#### Astras' time as Queen Regent

Once Astra took power in 575, she immediately started changing things, Lagamshas Istra was completely different from Astras. Astras Istra was filled with deceit and lies. While Lagamashas was filled with peace and happiness. Astras' branch of the family was connected to many parts of the world. Her son Philip ruled Ieshia, and her daughter ruled Sentia Venercia. Within the 1st year of her reign, Astras' reforms brought Istra out of economic crisis, she brought upon a golden age for Istra, however, her jealousy of her cousin and everyone around her made her paranoid. This caused a ripple affect, Astra paid spies to spy in Ieshia, this would go on for the 120 years, Astra became so paranoid, she aligned herself with the Dark of Elves of Clifspire. Directly going against her son and her grandson. This only got worse as Astra aged

Once Astras' time as Queen Regent came to end, Astra left a thriving Istra to Lagamasha, however, the court of Istra was corrupt, even more so than before. No one could trust anyone anymore, murders became a regular.

#### After being Queen Regent

After Astra's Cousin Lagamasha healed and returned to her throne, Astra left willingly. After seeing her cousin regain her health, she left Istra after ruling it for 70 years. She returned to her temple in northern Istra, and began living the rest of her life with her acolytes. It is here when the Empire of Ash started to wreak havoc on Ulfland, Lagamasha decided to use her magic and create the altered timeline after almost 400 years after Astra left.

Before doing so Lagamasha came to Astra's temple and asked for her help. She told Astra her idea, and pleaded with her. Astra declined and told her that she'd rather die than go back in time without her memories. Surprised Lagamasha decided to show her the future, and what would happen to Istra, and Astra. Lagamasha showed Istra in chaos and disarray, the temples in fire, tree's burning down, and Astra's temple in rubble. She then showed her the Empire of Ashes soldiers digging up Astra and the gold buried along with it. The Soldiers stole her body, her staff, all the gold, and killed all of her Acolytes. Leaving everyone dead.

Astra finally agreed, and helped Lagamasha create a spell that created a new timeline, which transferred everyone into a new world, with new memories, new family and a completely new life. However, Astra required that if she helped her cousin, she wanted to keep her memories of this life. Lagamasha complied and after days of planning, Astra and Lagamasha finally came up with a plan to use a mixture of herbal magics, and celestial power. Lagamasha stole the celestial power from Phenix by using Sterling to steal a cage full of Phenix's flame from his dimension.

#### The Beginning of the Altered Timeline

When the Altered Timeline started, Astra was Reverted back to 646, one year after Astra left her Regency. Back when Istra was thriving. Lagamasha was back in power, and was living her life normally. The timeline solidified after 24 hours, making it irreversible. Because 99% of the worlds population didn't have their memories no one tried to reverse the timeline. And Astra was finally happy, she was in love with Verde, and had her sisters there to help her. However, her life wasn't as it seemed. It went to hell quick. Astra gave Verde his memories back, and they continued to love each other no matter what. However, Three months after the timeline solidified, Phenix sent his demon Orias to retrieve Astra, and send her to him. Upon his arrival, He was met by Cardinal Verde, who spoke with Orias to try to save Astra's life by taking her place instead. Orias responded and said, "You're useless to me. I don't need some mortal who has devoted themselves to a fake religion."(Rus 14) Enraged Verde tried to fight Orias, resulting Orias to fight back and threw him into a stone wall knocking him out.

#### Fighting Orias

Orias continued to search for Astra, however once Astra found her lover Verde knock out on the ground, Astra warned her Acolytes and told them to fight Orias. Astra not realizing Orias was a demon, she led the massacre of her temple. After Orias slaughtered them, Astra met him. Astra pleaded to him, asking him to spare the life of her friends, Orias didn't listen, he continued to say that his Father would kill him if he came back empty handed. Astra enraged, blasted him into a wall with her staff, unfazed Orias got up and pull out his daggers, and claimed that no mortal could survive his power. As their battle began, Astra used her staff to continuously block his attacks, however Orias's strength overcame her. As Orias planned to bring her Phenix's realm, he walked up to her and said "I'm sorry Astra I really am. However my life is more important than yours, and I am immortal."(Rus 19) Astra then got back up and continued to fight, blasting him with her herbal magic. Orias finally gained the upper hand and took her staff from her, he examined the Runes and concluded that they were very similar to the one's engraved on Corous's power sword. Orias threw the staff, and walked to over to her, in which Astra blasted him with a new form of magic she had never seen before, she blasted him with purple energy, (which was her unlocking her celestial powers). In response Orias decided to show her his true form, Orias stood still and held his arms out, as his body started to glow a bright white, blinding Astra, a large blast of solar energy shot out of his chest and blasted her across her temple into a nearby hallway, knocking her down, Orias concluded that he had killed her.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

Astra's powers are broken into two categories; her powers from the original timeline, and her powers from the altered timeline.

#### Original Timeline:

* **Istrian Herbal Magics:** Being a Herbal Mage, Astra was granted a plethora of powers. she was able to manipulate nature in all aspects, Astra used a staff that harnessed and helped her control her powers.
	+ **Biokinetic florakinesis**: Astra was able to manipulate all things living, although she could not control their direct actions, she could control their thoughts. In other words she was able to manipulate their thoughts, and mind. she was able to manipulate plants. As a powerful mage, Astra had a wooden staff that allowed her to manipulate nature around her, even allowing her to create new plants from the ground with a simple tap. Her staff granted her many powers this was by far the most powerful and most important. She most notably used this power when the Man in White infiltrated Istra and entered the main temple, when he was finally caught Astra tapped her staff on the ground and a vine grew and wrapped around him squeezing him harder each time he tried to escape.
	+ **Longevity**: being both Istrian and a mage both granted her a longer life. Istrians are a subsection of elves, making her not mortal. However, she wasn't completely immune to death, she could still pass due to disease, age, wounds, and overextension of magic. Her powers granted her a longer lifespan. However, it is a possibility that Astra passed due to her age.

#### Altered Timeline:

Being a child from a celestial being Astra has a plethora of powers and abilities that she uses to her aid. Her abilities are much more powerful due to the fact that she is a celestain hybrid. Her abilities are enhanced with her Istrian powers. In the original timeline Astra was never attune to her abilities. Astras powers consist of extreme energy blast/wielding, geode manipulation, enhanced strength, speed, and durability, density manipulation, allowing her to fall through floors, etc. flight,

* **Celestial-Istrian Physiology:** Being a child born from Corous and the power vahilementen, Astra is incredibly powerful, both physically and mentally. Her powers are unlike anything the Angels have seen. She also has incredibly powerful mind compulsion. Stronger than any enhancement from a vahilementen. Because she is born from Corous, she is connected mentally with the Angels, this gives her the upper hand in many battles. Her strength is also physically enhanced. However she is mainly stronger with her powers, not physical strength.
	+ **Enhanced Strength**: Although Astra isn't that stronger her strength is somewhat augmented. She however cannot win in a battle against a angel if she was to rely on her strength.
	+ **Enhanced Durability**: Astras' durability is incredible. During the final battle Astra was able to protect Pelous and fight off harpies. Once he was injured in the final battle, Astra flew him through the air, while she was flying Comakath blasted her and split them apart, where she landed far away from Pelous. After falling over two hundred feet, Astra got back up almost instantly and continued to fight. As Astra blasted many of Comakath's harpies, she levitated into the air to fly and find Pelous, however when doing so Comakath noticed and threw one of his daggers at her. Astra created a small forcefield around her however the dagger's celestial powers destroyed her forcefield and created a shockwave that hurled her through the air making her land deep into a ice pyramid. She got right back up and flew back into the air to find Pelous.
	+ **Density Manipulation:** Astra is able to manipulate her density, allowing her to travel through walls, bodies, floors, and virtually anything, she can also make herself completely weightless. Allowing her to fly with ease.
		- **Intangibility:** Astras' control over her density, weight and mass give her the ability to phase through solid objects. As she does so, an aura of purple/plum light envelopes the part of her body that is phased through matter. When phasing, Astra can increase her density to destroy the object she phases through from the inside.
		- **Energy/power Manipulation:** Astra can manipulate energy in all forms, with the Vahilementen her powers are tripled. She is able to create shockwaves of purple energy, and even create large energy blast's. These powers manifest as a luminescent mist or vapor of a purple hue emanating from her hands and body. When using her telepathic abilities, Astra's irises glow a dark purple color. Her power signature is similar to that of the power vahilementen, as she gained her powers from it. Astra can project energy blasts, streams, waves and bolts of her own psionic and telekinetic energy, allowing her to hit, push/pull or blow away her targets, potentially exerting enough force to destroy them. This energy manifests in any shape or form, outlining her telekinetic spheres of influence, as the energy is visible in a purple color. This power does not come from the Power Vahilementen, but these powers can be enhanced with the use of it. Astra's energy blasts were powerful enough to force Corous to go on the defensive against her and were enough to knock him back and make him stumble backwards even when he blocked them with his powers. 2
			* **Force-field generation:** Astra s is able to create and manipulate energy to create force-fields. She most notably used a force-field against Corous, but, She was easily able to overpower him.
			* **Reality Manipulation:** Astra is able to manipulate and change reality. Astra was to send a stream of power into the ground cracking it. Astra really never used this ability
