Dreamer, the former bodyguard of the Queen, lives in a world far and high above any other, where angels, demons and everything in between live in harmony. Well, until they elect an evil king and corrupt government.
In the past Dreamer was pretty important, because back when the Queen was alive he was her Royal bodyguard; So obivously he knew some pretty important people. Today, he got a pretty important letter sent to him. It was weird because he didn't have a mailbox, and no one knew he was alive anyway. He was labeled as missing years ago. But still, the letter read:
"Dearest Dreamer, It's been quite some time. Meet me in the Palace when you get this. I'll be waiting~"
That evening under the red and yellow sky, he was at the giant gates of the White Palace. The giant building was made of grainy white stone, with a trim, green garden with hedges and vines wrapped around columns and the bottom of the Palace. He waited there with a cloak around him until he saw the doors of the Palace open. It was Ave! "Hey Dude!" she called. "Come inside, we have to talk!" "..Alright then.."
Ave led him into a room to the far right of the Palace. It was a small room with a wooden door, right beside the staircase to the dungeons. Inside, it was actually a really nice place. It had cosy beanbags and an air hockey table. It was just a cool place to hang out.
"You live here?" Dreamer asked. "Yep!" "Do you live with that guy also?"
Dreamer pointed at what didn't look like an angel or demon, But a torso with no arms made of crystals, and legs like stilts. Short black hair covered one of his eyes.

"Yea. That's Boxy. He lives here also 'cause he was hired for some reason, but he doesn't do any work." replied Ave. "Bit of a drama queen."
Boxy... Dreamer thought. He has heard that name before..! Boxy, Heavishes jerk!
"Y-you're the one that.... uh..."
Boxy's eye lit up. "Killed my boyfriend, yes! Oh woe is me~ He was always such a bitch~ Such a liar, a jerk ~ never cared for me ~ never treated me like a prince, etcetera ~ So when I still had arms, and he came home shouting at me as usual ~...."
"What?" "He ran into my knife!" Boxy declared. "He ran into my knife ten times!"
"Oh dear..." mumbled Dreamer. "YES! When I came here I was punished by the Godseekers, who chopped off my arms!"
"...Moving on" said Ave. " I called you here because I feel we should prepare for a civil war or something..." "Why..?" asked Dreamer.
"Because, you know King Zoro. He is very determined to give demons a better life, but he's doing it the wrong way. So we need to try and prevent anything bad happening. I called you because you would definitely be up to the task of keeping things under control...."
"AVEEEEE~!" It was Zoro. "Avee babes, I was thinking of making a statue of me and I wanted to ask what heroic pose it should be - Oh." Zoro saw Dreamer standing there. "Heeeelllo."
Dreamer didn't say anything, but nodded. "...Good timing! I was hoping to hire a cool bodyguard who wouldn't stab me in the back. Come with me." Zoro said, he grabbed Dreamer's wrist and brought him to The Courtyard, a square garden with stone pots of red and black flowers.
"Finally! Time to murder you!" Zoro said! Dreamer was ready to beat the hell out of him, until Zoro started laughing. "I'm joking, I'm joking!" Zoro said, and he put his hands on his knees. " I wanted to ask a question. See, I was wondering about the former Queen. Why was I not given the magical powers every other ruler was given? She never passed on the ancient powers to me. And I want them."
"But you can't." said Dreamer " They can only be passed on to trustworthy rulers. Or souls the former Ruler trusts completely."
Zoro raised his unseeable eyebrows. "Exactly." he said, with a smirk on his stupid face. "That's why you are going to get them for me. So like, you get them first, and then-"
Dreamer stepped back, he would never do that. "No. You are the exact type of beast I am protecting the Queen and her powers FROM."
Zoro's face squished up. "Ugh, take a break. The Queen was always skeptical of everyone."
That was almost correct, except the Queen would have only trusted Dreamer with the Powers. He wished he could pass them to The Queen's daughter, Tefi; She had run away and has been labeled as missing too.
"Quit trying to tempt me. I will never associate with the beasts like you." "That's going on your gravestone." Zoro replied. With a direct turn, he left the Palace. He will never surrender to such corrupt power. For the Queen, and for Tefi.
