Years had passed since Draco was born. Draco had brighter red hair than his brother and curlier too. This chapter takes us to when Draco was 11 and his older brother, Drake, was 12.

The two had shared great times together in their early years. In the kingdom, when Drake was just one and a half years old, waiting for Draco to be born, he was filled with happiness and excitement.

Draco adored his older brother. They attended school together, and whenever anyone tried to mess with either of them, they would defend each other without hesitation. They were almost inseparable.

One morning, Drake and Draco rushed to their mother and father's royal bedroom while their parents were still asleep. They jumped onto the bed, and Draco playfully tapped his father's face, prompting him to wake up. The king stirred and chuckled, "Ow, buddy, you've got quite the strength there," he said as he tickled his young son. Draco giggles and says "OK Drake, tell him!" 

Drake grunted and said, 'No, you do it!'

Draco giggled once again and replied, 'Okay, fine!'

"So what's it this time, kids?" asked the king. Draco said, "Could we go outside? We want to play before breakfast! It's such a nice day out!" He said happily, crossing his fingers in a pleading gesture.

The king looked at the Queen and asked, "What do you think, honey?"

The Queen looked at Drake and inquired, 'You will look after your brother, right?' She asked.

Drake smiled and responded, "Of course! I'll always look after my little bro!' He said while hugging Draco. The king and queen smiled, and the king replied, "Sounds good, then. Go ahead and return when the royal servants call you back inside. OK, boys?" He said.

"Sure, father!" replied Draco.

So they headed out. They went to the meadows where the big tree stood, a place where the kids climbed and played.

The two hung out there every day after royal middle school, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and even after going outside, they went inside for a drink before trying to head out again.

Meanwhile, up in the skies, there was a kingdom called the "Astral Heaven Kingdom" home to the Astral Castle. The inhabitants of the castle were beings of light who lived among the clouds.

 These beings included humans, angels, Icarus, and others of a similar nature. A mighty competition known as "The Brave Astral Warriors" took place, where two or more Astral Heaven fighters would compete against each other. It was causing quite a commotion down on Earth. 

Drake looked up as he heard the strikes of swords and weaponry clashing against each other. "Whoa, what the heck is going on up there?" he asked. Draco also looked up and said, "Father told me that those are the sounds of the Heaven Kingdom thingy," he said, sounding unsure.

Drake smiled and said, "It must be AWESOME being an Angel... or anything that has light power, right?" he said. Draco giggled and said, "Yeah! I'd love to shoot some Light lasers!" he said happily.

Meanwhile, in the skies, there were billions of kingdom people cheering for their favorite fighters. There was a kingdom there that could watch the game from above, with a loving king, his wife, and their little daughter, all of them being angels.

The family watched, but the little girl couldn't see well, since the view was obstructed, and she was too short. "Father, may I please watch from below? There's much space down there, and I could see better!" she said to the king.

The king, fully concentrated on the fight, simply replied, "Yeah, that's fine, love."

The little angel girl smiled and ran downstairs. She ran through the crowd, pushing everybody out of her way to see the fight. However, she encountered a bunch of tall people who were all distracted and not considering the little girl.
