"Justice is a thing that would absolutely never be abused! Freedom and respect is everything! This malevolence that is consuming the world as we know it, Astaroth Empire... shall hear its own funeral bell. The judgement shall come, and Ara Astaroth shall die... No, I don't want her to die. I want her to suffer what I have suffered from her. Now, the whole universe is tainted in black. United we stand, and divided we fall. Together, we will overthrow this Dark Empire. We will send it to the deepest pits of Hell where it belonged!" |

LOTM: Los Reina de Corazónes is a canon dark fantasy side storyline of LOTM: Sword of Kings and LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow by Officer Candy Apple and Prime ShockWaveTX and belongs to CIS Productions.
The story serves as a prequel of Astaroth Future Sub Arc part in LOTM: Sword of Kings AA Final - Eckidina Arc: Madness Sub Arc and will happen in an alternate timeline where Ara Astaroth and The Revelation of Qliphoth take over the Prime Earth and the Multi-Universe explaining the progress of how Astaroth Empire had risen to power, turning the whole existence into Astaroth Hell.
For now, the story will presented in four sagas, with a prologue saga detailing the rise of Astaroth Empire on Earth, including an origin story of Vira. The other three sagas serve as the main sagas telling the 2,000-year-old reign of Astaroth Empire tyranny mainly in the POV of a mentally broken Maria Arzonia from the future timeline. It contains four sagas is because the number 4 (four) represented death in traditional Chinese culture, hinting the story's dark hue in its story tones. Even so, certain changes will be made if situations needed. The 0th saga AND its 1st Saga of this story will be produced after the end of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Death Arc in a zigzag manner.
Characters in both LOTM: Sword of Kings and LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow who survived the onslaught of Qliphoth will appear in this storyline as protagonists or recurring characters, with a few villains from both stories who survived the genocide appearing as allies on the fight against the tyrannical rule of Astaroth Empire.

Plot[]
The apocalypse was coming nearer and nearer, after the rise of The Revelation of Qliphoth which changed everything on the Prime Earth. People like The Fallen's Essence, Eckidina KnightWalker, Leohart the Prince of Hell and Darth Hades ceased to exist; not even The Fallen himself couldn't escape from the fate of his downfall. The World War III ended in a total victory of Triggers Hell, or more precisely, Ara Astaroth and Leohart's Cult. Then, the era of Astaroth Empire had risen above the Prime Earth and the Multi-Universe for more than 2,000 years.
However, one glimpse of hope do existed. After losing almost everyone she cared and loved, Maria Arzonia had changed into a whole another person due to her mental breakdown caused by tragic losses of her friends. Risen from ashes and blood, Maria vowed to seek vengeance upon Ara and her followers so that her dead family and friends shall rest in peace forever, so she joined the Alliance in order to fight against Qliphoth, this time with bloodshed as much as possible since she won't let those who took everything from her to go without punishment.
A rebellion had risen, and many people who was still alive and disgusted by the horrid deeds of Qliphoth, heroes and villains, joined Maria's side to fight against the terrifying threats coming from Ara Astaroth and the future versions of Michael Langdon, B1-Killer Kampfdroide Unit-CM 130 and even Aryana Westcott who had became allies of Ara, but those are people who oversee the things. The terrifying threat soon came more direct with the arrival of someone that was horrifying and a malicious threat, with a black mask. With the Black Masked villain's arrival to the stage, the rebels of Maria faced a much more direct nightmare, a lot more direct than they have ever imagined...

Trivia[]
- Los Reina de Corazónes means "the Queen of Hearts" in Spanish, which referred to Maria whose code name is Corazón, a Spanish word means "heart". A Spanish title is also a nod to Maria's nationality, which is Spanish.
- Despite connecting to the upcoming ending of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow, neither Ichabod Crane or Abbie Mills will be presented in this story. However, since neither of them are immortal, they could hardly survive due to the long period of time Astaroth Empire ruled.
- Nevertheless, Future Selina had mentioned that the Witnesses were killed by Future Michael, and both Selina and Maria shall carry on their legacy alongside many others.
