Author's note: Enjoy a sneak peak into the monster realm. I was supposed to release my first story about the Ancient Guardians and the Dragon Gods Heavenly Realm but decided to do it as a prequel after I finish this book.

The Duke of Astrid entered the Ashkar forest with two of the strongest general knights and his one hundred elite soldiers. A portal to the world of the monsters is located in this forest. In order to access this realm, you require an entry passage provided by a member of the Demon Royal Family.

The hierarchy of this realm consists of Monsters (lower class, dispensable soldiers, slave), Inbreeds (Military and commoners), Fallen Dragons (Guardians with strong abilities and magic/Nobles) and Demons (Imperial Clan/Ruler of this realm).

The Dragon Gods of Light and Dark intended for two realms to exist when they created this world, the realms of Humans and Monster. To maintain the balance of this world's creation, the Guardians, Humans, and Monsters must coexist.

There are two worlds in the heavenly realms, one with light and the other with darkness. Despite their animosity for one another, these two sides resolved to enter the human realm and created the Guardians. To keep this realm free from dark forces and maintain the equilibrium of this world, the Guardians of Kratoryah were created. They were created to rule above humans. However, the Guardians of this world bred with dark sorcerers to increase their powers and mock their creators. They have evolved to be the most formidable creatures to challenge their creators in the heavenly realms.

The Great Grand King Alexander Nicholas Astrid married a powerful dark sorcerer to subjugate the Monster realm. The Demon clans have become their ally to launch a war in the heavenly realm. King Alexander and his forces ascended to the heaven dark realm and killed the son heir of the God of Dark Dragon. He sought to conquer and rule that realm for it is where lies the wisdom of the universe.

The Light Goddess Dragon help the God of the Dark Dragon to defeat the Guardians and together they put a curse on the Guardians' ancestral bloodline to control their power. The Guardians cannot be destroyed because their inner souls are connected to their Creators. If the Guardians will perish so are the Dragon Gods.

To avoid the Guardians rebellion not to happen again, the Goddess of the Light decided to send her healer in the human realm to procreate and produce a companion for the Guardian's successor. The companion has the power to break the curse and purify the blood madness of the dark sorcerer's inbred elements. For generations, the search for the perfect companion was largely unsuccessful, and the madness of the Guardians' blood remains to this day.

Entering the city of Krohnis, Sebastian and his men were escorted to enter the palace where the Demon Imperial family lives. The city of Krohnis is known for its unique architecture, which includes high-rise structures built of steel and stones. In fact, their architecture is more sophisticated than that of the human realm. The city and the Imperial Palace are connected by a train. There are three creatures who lives in the Krohnis city, they are the Inbreeds, Fallen Dragons and Demons. Due to their inability to shape-shift into Demons, the monsters were kept to the Ashkar forest to protect the portal because they were not permitted to live in this city. There is a rank-based differences existed among the shapeshifters. The fallen dragons and the demon royalties are the most beautiful shapeshifters. They look like humans; except they have long ears and thorns in their heads.

The demon race fears the Guardians because their ancestors were subjugated by the Great Grand King of Astrid centuries ago. They have a bilateral treaty as allies in case a war will break out from the human race against the monster race. Since the beginning of time, the human race has hated the monster race and they have fought each other.

Sebastian and his two Generals were escorted to the royal delegate conference chamber. The Duke of Astrid will be sitting in the center of the table on the left side, and Diablo, the demon king, and his two military generals will be positioned on the right side of the central table.

"I greet his Majesty, the Demon King of this realm". Sebastian nod his head to pay his respects to the Demon King.

"Ha ha ha ha. Duke Sebastian, it's been a long time. Forget the formalities and be comfortable". Diablo joyfully exclaimed while gesturing him to settle on the royal seat prepared for this meeting.

"Ah I have to congratulate the Duke of Astrid. Congratulations on your wedding. What a lucky bastard you are, I saw on the newsprint that you married the most beautiful maiden in the Kratoryah empire".

The Demons are more informal in their manner of speaking since they are not governed by the laws of the human empire.

Sebastian smirk on his remarks. "Indeed, I am a lucky bastard, but my wife thinks otherwise".

"Ho! Ha ha ha. I'd like to meet your wife. She seemed to know how to put a leash on you, bring her on your next visit". Diablo snorted that his saliva spilled out.

"My wife is too fragile, and I need to strengthen her constitution before she can enter in this realm".

"Aissh. Don't be too obsessed with your wife. Don't scare her of your obsession. Look women needs space on their own no matter what beings they are, they are all the same".

Sir Alfred and Ian are internally reacting with a palm face and hoping Diablo would stop babbling because their master has already been offended.

"Diablo, I warn you not to pissed me off. My wife is a red line that cannot be crossed". Sebastian smiled in a sinister way threatening not to challenge his authority.

"Ha ha ha, alright Duke I will no longer touch that topic. Let's get down to business". Diablo finds it inconceivable that he will live to see the day when a Guardian's obsession becomes his weakness.

"Don't put a funny idea in your head, unless you would like to keep this realm in peace". Sebastian was aware that Diablo thought his wife might be used against him.

"The Duke can't be joked. This lowly King cannot afford to anger the Khratoryah Guardian. I allowed you to slaughter some of my monsters, so were even now, right? Ha ha ha!"

Sebastian chuckled in annoyance. The disgusting mouth can't stop babbling, he is at his limit to cut it off.

"I will capture the sorcerers and bring them back alive so you can do whatever you want. But I want something in return".

"Ho! Tell this lowly King what the Guardian desire".

"I want that valuable potion". Sebastian looked Diablo in the eye and the Demon King got up and approached the Duke.

The potion he is talking about is called Maca. It is a plant found in the depts of the ocean surrounded by wild untamed monsters. The maca potion can expand an innermost skin without causing laceration and incite incredible sexual delight without feeling the physical exhaustion.

Only the royal family of the demon race has access to the maca potion since it is so rare. It appears that the demons must give it up for the Duke of Astrid even though they only have two left to save for their next two generations.

Diablo laughed so loudly that he choked and started spitting out his saliva. "Duke, it's a deal. I like how similar we are. You filthy bastard. Ha ha ha ha!".
