There existed a kingdom known as Dreamland, which was named after its stunning beauty. Greenery stretched endlessly across the kingdom, with towering trees, shining mountains, and beautiful valleys. It was believed to be heaven on earth—a place of peace, harmony, and magic.
The kingdom of Dreamland was ruled by King Alister Throne, who belonged to the ancient Throne Clan. The Throne Clans were both feared and respected because of their immense power. Alister, in particular, was extremely powerful. His strongest ability was soul manipulation. He could reduce an enemy's soul to ashes with just a single look. He also possessed many magical skills, making him almost unbeatable in a fight.At his side was Queen Velrica Throne, a woman of incomparable beauty and power. She came from the noble Unicorn Clan, famous for its grace and might. Velrica had the terrible talent of controlling minds, with the mere thought able to command the will of others. The king and queen were the embodiment of absolute power—and harmony.
At the peak of their power, Queen Velrica was pregnant with a child. Peace ruled over Dreamland, and hope dwelled in the hearts of its citizens.However, peace sparks envy.
The four kingdoms surrounding Dreamland were Hunterland, Wonderland, Featherland, and Dynamicland. The four monarchs, King Magnus Wane of Hunterland, King Caspian Rex of Wonderland, King Arthur Trump of Dynamicland, and Queen Aiko of Featherland, envied Dreamland.
Of the four, Queen Aiko's hatred was the strongest.
Her husband had been killed by King Alister in the legendary Blood Battle between Dreamland and Featherland. Though defeated, Aiko had not forgotten.Realizing that they could not conquer Dreamland by themselves, the four kingdoms joined forces in a dark alliance. Driven by jealousy and a desire for revenge, they launched a massive attack, surrounding Dreamland from all sides.
The battle was merciless.
Countless civilians were slaughtered. The army of Dreamland fought valiantly, but the enemy armies were in the hundreds of thousands. King Alister called upon all his strength, burning souls and cutting through armies—but even he had his limits.Half of the remaining forces of Dreamland were told to protect Queen Velrica as she went into labor.
At the same time, Queen Aiko burst through the defenses.
As Velrica gave birth to a baby boy, a blinding wave of energy burst out from the child, radiating all over the world. The skies shook. The earth let out a cry.
It was a sign.
The child was born with power beyond imagination.Knowing that Dreamland had fallen, Queen Velrica handed her newborn son over to her most loyal and trusted minister—Master, a powerful mage. With the magic of teleportation, Master escaped to a hidden sanctuary away from the battlefield.
When he returned…
It was too late.
King Alister Throne and Queen Velrica Throne were dead.Queen Aiko stood victorious, her laughter ringing out in the destroyed kingdom as she took Dreamland for herself. But one thing plagued her triumph:
Where was the child?
Enraged, she called for her armies to capture Master. He was soon taken and brought before her.
Queen Aiko mocked him as she said,
"Look at your great king and queen now—dead. I am the most powerful being on this earth."Master laughed.
"You have no idea what power Prince Vane holds."
Queen Aiko's eyes narrowed. "And who is that brat?"
"Your death," Master said calmly. "He is the one who will destroy you."Queen Aiko laughed coldly. "No one on this earth can kill me."
"You are wrong," Master said. "Prince Vane will tear you apart."
Her smile turned to rage. "Very well. First, I will kill Prince Vane. Then, I will kill you. I will crush you both with my own hands."
She turned away, her voice ringing through the throne hall.
"Run while you can, little brat…"
