Astra Sasuke

**Astra Sasuke** is the mother of Apollo Sasuke, and the reluctant chosen mate of king Kazir Sasuke. She was initially revealed during Apollo's flashback in Chapter 40. Born as a Wyvlan on World 4, she was forcefully taken away from her lover and home to become the mate of Kazir to produce a genetically perfect son to carry his lineage. After his birth, she remained in a cell, locked away in the Calyblanc palace. There she would stay until Kazir and Astra engaged in a heated argument, leading to her murder on a stormy night by Kazir in his fury.

## Appearance

Astra was a white Wyvlan with a luscious brown-ish pale gold mane running center from top to bottom on her back. Her eyes, horns, leg and underbelly scales were a gentle pure yellow. The skin inside her ears and her nose was pale blue. She wore a golden hair pin shaped as a flower in her mane along her neck.

## Personality

Since being forced to live in the Calyblanc palace she had grown mellow and docile, but kept a gentle touch. Though appearing deflated by her quality of life, she still had ambition and spirit within her. Astra was a kind-hearted individual with patience. The weight of her suppression had caused her to become aloof and quiet, forever calm unless pushed to her absolute limit. Despite that, she had never given up her caring nature.

## Relationships

### Apollo Sasuke

Astra had never loved her son, nor did she ever want to have him. Though she never had a say in his birth, she didn't actively hate him either. She held the hope that he could become a good ruler, and with Kazir out of the way she thought he could even redeem it. She raised and urged him to be kind, to reject his father's influential and harmful nature.

### Kazir Sasuke

Astra always hated her assigned partner. She was against everything he stood for, despite never outwardly showing it. She held her despise in private, secretly awaiting the day she could be free from the life he enforced onto her. On that stormy night, Astra had provoked an argument with Kazir to convince him to enter her cell. A falling out between the two had stirred about Astra's enforced life since coming to the Quharr palace, fueling more hatred within Astra towards Kazir.

## History

### Pre-Series

Astra was a Wyvlan born on World 4 in Quharr, Yaftu, and lived with her lover named Apollo. However, she was selected as a prime candidate to be the mate of the king of Quharr, Kazir Sasuke; deemed to have perfect genetics and features that could create a beautiful son as a successor. She was torn away unwillingly from her lover and home, sent underneath the palace of Quharr along with the other captives. Though Apollo did everything to prevent Astra from being taken away, he instead suffered a sentence in prison. After being chosen among the rest of the women brought against their will to the kingdom, she was soon pregnant and gave birth to the new future prince of the kingdom. Because Kazir was not present during his son's birth, as a remembrance to Astra's lover, she chose to name her son Apollo. Although this was immediately rejected and hated by Kazir, who instead chose to refer to his son by his last name, Sasuke.

Astra spent the remainder of her life in a cell within the Quharr palace, occasionally tolerating interactions with her growing son. She had never loved her son, nor treated him with much love or attention. However, she begged for him to be kind. She opposed Kazir's words for Apollo to become a cold and tyrannical ruler, and When Apollo had became a young adult, she had told him she had planned to kill his father tomorrow to free him and everyone beneath Kazir. However, upon trying to convince Kazir to enter her cell on that stormy night, instead a very intense argument stirred between the two about Astra's enforced life since being brought to the kingdom. Astra had let out a bloodcurdling scream that echoed across the palace as the tension rose. Kazir declared he had no more use for her, and in a fit of spontaneous fury he stabbed her repeatedly with a knife until his anger quashed. As thunder crackled and lit the room, Astra had laid dead on the ground, her blood coating the room. A ceremony was never held for Astra's death, nor did Kazir hold any remorse for his action. Life had went on as if nothing ever happened.
