♛ Mira Thalor - Heiress of the Water Dynasty

Reborn under moonlight and crashing tides, Mira Thalor had water running through her veins—both metaphorically and quite literally. As the sole heiress of the ancient Thalor family, whose wealth flowed through generations like the Nile itself, she was elegance wrapped in precision. Her eyes, a haunting blue-gray, often mirrored the stormy oceans her ancestors once ruled from seafaring kingdoms.

But Mira wasn't just a pretty heiress with a pedigree; she was lethal in logic and sharp in strategy.

Specialties:

Corporate negotiation and mergers – No one walked into a room with Mira and came out with a better deal than her.

Data analysis and predictive modeling – She could forecast market trends like tides, eerily accurate.

Water manipulation (latent powers awakening) – Subconscious reactions—like condensation gathering when she was angry or rivers rising when she meditated—were becoming more frequent.

Hobbies:

Deep-sea diving ("To feel closest to my thoughts")

Collecting vintage nautical compasses

Ocean photography using drones

Journaling in calligraphy ink made from squid pigment, handcrafted in Italy

Personality:

Graceful, calculating, and quietly intense. Mira had learned the hard way never to let emotions ripple across her face—only the calm surface. Her presence was like a silent tide pulling everything toward her.

She was dubbed "The Ice Empress of Industry" in tabloids, and not just because she once froze a $50 million merger deal mid-conference with a single word: "Unacceptable."

♚ Jaxon Pyranthos - Scion of the Flame Dynasty

Born during a solar storm, Jaxon Pyranthos had always burned too bright, too fast. As the only son of the Pyranthos lineage—an ancient fire-wielding family turned global tech empire—Jaxon had grown up knowing how to hold the world in his palm and set it ablaze if necessary.

But beneath the inferno was a tactician, an inventor, and a surprisingly romantic heart that even he didn't acknowledge.

Specialties:

Innovative tech engineering – AI systems, quantum startups, defense tech, you name it.

Public speaking and investor manipulation – He once convinced a room full of oil moguls to invest in solar-powered flamethrowers—just for fun.

Fire affinity (latent powers awakening) – Flickering flames danced around him when he got passionate, even if no source was nearby.

Hobbies:

Street racing on abandoned Greek roads

Designing flameproof fashion for his own label

Making gourmet spicy dishes ("If it doesn't burn twice, it's not worth cooking.")

Playing flamenco guitar at 2AM when no one's watching

Personality:

Charismatic, cocky, and layered like magma beneath the crust. Jaxon's outward flair and dramatic entrances often concealed how deeply he calculated every move. He was quick-witted, sarcastic, and maddeningly charming.

His fans called him the "Crown Prince of Heat." His rivals called him reckless. His enemies? Well, they were usually left smoldering.

⚔ First Encounter: Sparks in the Boardroom

When Thalor Industries prepared to buy out a critical waterway access point in Indonesia, they expected smooth negotiations. What they didn't expect was Pyranthos Global to show up on the other side of the deal—smiling like a wolf set loose in a sauna.

Mira: "You're late."

Jaxon (grinning): "I like to make an entrance—especially when the Ice Empress is on the throne."

Mira (coolly): "Try not to melt on my floor, Mr. Pyranthos."

Jaxon: "No promises."

What should've been a hostile acquisition turned into a corporate battlefield. Neither remembered their past life. Neither knew their souls had danced in godfire and storm centuries before. But something in the air cracked whenever they stood too close.

⚖ Underneath the Rivalry

They both began having dreams. She saw fire bleeding into the sea. He saw waves whispering her name. Mira started hearing voices when near saltwater. Jaxon burned through laptops when he lost his temper.

As their competition escalated—through business wars, strategic alliances, and paparazzi-fueled scandal—their supernatural abilities started to surface. And so did fragments of memory…

Who had said, "When the ocean kisses flame, the world is reborn?"

Why did Mira instinctively know how to control a tsunami in her dream?

Why did Jaxon wake up with ashes in his sheets and a forgotten lullaby on his lips?
