Kara’s pov
I was 2 when the first war broke out, my grandfather Seyg-El was the King back then, he was a good man and a kind King, he loved his people and he loved his family above all else, he tried to stop the war. He was killed by Lionel Luthor the then young King of the Thorul Kingdom, my father Zor-El became the King and he and my uncle Jor-El led us to victory.
I was 11 when the second war broke out, Lionel had used the last 9 years of peace to amount new armies, allies and to spread hate around, my father was killed in battle but he did take Lionel with him, my uncle was crowned King Regent. We won the war and he returned home as King, I was sent away, he said that it was so I would learn to be a good ruler, I knew that what he truly wanted was the crown, his son Kal-El had been born a couple of months before the end of the war and Lara Lor-Van, Jor’s wife had made no mystery that her son was going to be King instead of me.
I was sent to the Forbidden Lands, to be raised under the tutelage of Maleficent and her mate Cat, in Dragon’s Horn, they took me in and raised me as one of their own; growing up in the Forbidden Lands I came to know all kinds of magical beings, from witches to shapeshifters to werewolves and dragons.
By the time I was 16, I was one of the most deadly warriors of the Forbidden Lands and I had found myself a miss fitted family, they were my sisters and brothers that I had found from all around; Mulan was the first that I meet, in a small tribe 3 days journey from Dragon’s horn, she was a couple of months older than me and was working as a sword for hire after her father had exiled her for pretending to be a man; Ruby came next and she was an exile too, cast away from the Wolves Den Tribe by her mom, when she found out that Ruby was born an alpha too, Lupita Lucas always cared more about her status as the top dog than she cared about anything else.
Sam was a Kryptonian and a runaway, she had been an orphan, her mother had died on childbirth and her father had perished in the second war against the Thorul Kingdom, taken in by nuns Sam was later sold to some nameless Lord, the man was old enough to be her father, she ran that same night. Sam eventually made her way to Old Town where she became a scholar, also where I found her.
Alex was a born and raised warrior much to her mom’s disappointment, Eliza Danvers was one of the most respected sorcerers of the Forbidden Lands and try as she might teach Alex, her only daughter, the magical arts; Alex just didn’t have the gift and by the time I crossed paths with her she had already found one of the worst coping mechanisms. Alex was drowning her sorrows into the end of a bottle.
Kate and Barry, I found at the same time, they were marked to be executed in the White Kingdom for preferring the company of the same sex, Barry was good with either sex actually, not that Snow White the Queen of the White Kingdom cared much about that, I broke them out and they later helped me “steal” Emma, Snow’s daughter from the White Kingdom; we were all invited to Regina and Emma’s wedding in the Dark Kingdom.
I won’t lie, I was happy with the life I had in the Forbidden Lands, me and my friends had made a name for ourselves as swords for hire and sometimes heroes, but yeah, I hadn’t forgotten about my home, the people my father had given his life for, the place where he was born, where my mom was born. I would hear from travelers from time thru time, about how my people were hungry, about how rotten and spoiled my cousin and uncle were, how they had hunted all magical beings from our lands, I would hear it until I could no longer take the horrific stories.
I went back, at first I just needed to see what had become of my old home, I was set in leaving as soon as I could, this wasn’t my home anymore, at least that was what I told myself to make me feel better. After six months I gave up on leaving and started to fight for Krypton, my friends, my family didn’t hesitate to fight alongside me and soon enough the people started to fight too.
1 year of civil war later and my uncle was ousted from the Throne, his own guards turned on him, and by the time I and my army broke into the palace he and Lara were already dead, Kal-El was nowhere to be found.
I was crowned King of the Kryptonian Kingdom soon after the end of the conflict, and changes were made, magical beings were freed and welcomed back into Kryptonian lands, the people started to flourish again, and life went on.
Sam and Alex married each other about 2 years after we settled into our new lives after I had managed to make legal for same-sex couples to marry each other, Barry met a commoner woman named Iris and fell head of hills for her, they married just months after I gave Barry the title of governor of the Kandor province, they had 3 kids since then, Kate, who at the time, was still riding the pain of losing her last lover, a warrior named Sophie who could not handle the stigma of being with another woman, I gave her the Kryptonopolis province, once there she met this noble couple, Harleen and Pamela, it didn’t take long for Kate to share her bed with both of them.
3 years after my coronation Alex had the surprise of her life when her 13 then years old bastard daughter showed up into our lives, Rose Hathaway was a little spitfire and loyal to a fault, Ruby, Alex and Sam’s daughter was born later that same year.
Soon 7 years had passed since I became King and life was good, Krypton had flourished into something bigger than it ever was, we had no poverty and no hungry, work was abundant to any who sought it, but as with any kingdom I as King had responsibilities and my latest one brought me to where I was now, and that was preparing myself to go to Camelot to talk with King Uther Pendragon, a foul man that reminded me a lot of Jor-El and the Thorul royal family.
