In front of a burning village that was located in the mountains. The village was filled with bloodcurdling screams, pools of blood and piles of corpses. A man in chains is being led to a platform with a guillotine. The man wears brown blood-stained clothes, and after being on top of the platform his neck is placed inside the guillotine.
“Tell me Robert, why did you break it? The promise of our kind?” the one who said that had horns and wings, he had beastly eyes and fangs. The man points at two people, a boy and a woman wearing chains. The boy looked like he was 10. he looks human however he had eyes like a dragon and fangs, the boy's pupil was black and so was his hair, and he wore a tattered shirt and pants. The man pulls the rope to prepare for the guillotine.
“This is your fault, Robert. If you just didn’t…. Marry her and had a child with her. This all could’ve been avoided, but no instead I have to be here killing a traitor because you HAD to break the dragon’s pledge. I’ll ask you this Robert… What are your last words?” The man said. Robert looks at his son and says “Even if I die and my people slaughtered, their wills will NOT disappear. Tony! I entrust you with everyone’s will.” “Then goodbye Robert. Today will be the day that the Maxwell name disappears from this world” the man said.
The man lets go of the rope and the blade falls on the man’s head and decapitates the man. The head rolls and the child sees it and screams “FATHER!” and cries as he hugs the decapitated head, the woman looks at the child and cries while hugging the child. “Kill the child and the woman, they are grieving on sacred lands.” He ordered the soldiers.
The man flies away with seven other men with wings. The soldiers approached the woman and the child, the woman quickly glares at them. The soldier felt like the air around them had vanished and quickly two or three of them collapses as others grasp for air “Tony Run!” the woman says as she hands him a disk-like object. Tony quickly runs as fast as he could while gripping the disk object, as Tony ran and ran he felt exhausted, but he preserved and continued running. Tony after running for what felt like days finally rests alongside a river, he takes a look at the circle object that his mother had handed to him. The disk-like object had an orange glow it also had a metal claw prong that points to a symbol of a flame in the middle, Tony calls it ‘core’ and taps it and says “It.. was all my fault” Tony cries himself to sleep.

The very next day Tony wondered and sees a field, the field had many types of different flowers such as roses, tulips and many others. He enters the field and sees a well-dressed woman and an old man having tea.
The woman said “Oh? A child around these parts? How peculiar.” Tony tells her about his story. The woman approaches Tony and caresses his cheek “Tony? I shall give you a place to sleep and a job so please become my servant” She extends her hand for Tony, Tony looks at her and grabs her hand. “Ma’am, I don’t mean to be rude but… The child is half dragon, How do you think your father would feel about you hiring this child?” The old man said. The woman says “Do not worry Sebastian, my father will surely allow this boy no matter what race he is to work as my servant as long as he is diligent”, Sebastian sighs and pours a glass of tea for Tony.
Tony drank the tea and the woman asks Tony a question “So do you feel… Angry?” Tony simply replied to the question with a “Yes” and they continue having tea and talking. After the sun nearly sets, the woman and Sebastian lead Tony to a mansion.
Tony in awe of the beautiful garden and decorations asks the woman “Who are you Lady?” the woman replied “I am Alice Leonhart, daughter of the sword hero ‘Charlie Leonhart’” Sebastian opens the main door and all of them enter the mansion. Tony looks at the mansion. The mansion had elegant furniture with two staircases that meet in the middle, the wallpaper was quite mesmerizing. but before Tony could drink up all the beauty of the mansion, a man approaches them.
