Within the Emperor's throne room sat a large majority of all the powers in charge of the Dragon Empire, there were Elders from the many clans that climbed to power but no sign of any of the Empresses these fractions got most of their influence from.

Standing up is an Elder who is in charge of Human, Beast relations within the Empire, he has held this position for more than 30 years ever since he was released from the Trial Tower.

Jacob has long since grown into a man many have come to respect and fear.

He is loved by his more than twenty children, two of his daughters are even Empresses having married into the Royal Family at the ages of 14.

He was against the marriages at first as he did not think he was worthy of forgiveness and the favor the Dragon Emperor gave him.

That was until his Wife beat him half to death for trying to ruin their daughters future as Empresses.

After that painful lesson he poured everything into their weddings and happily sent them off.

Later in life he gained a position under Lady Samara to aid in Human and Beast relations within the Empire. He did his best to not let down his Wife and Samara who told him he could do well in the position, today he could smile proudly as he has indeed fulfilled the role.

"Today we have gathered once gain to give reports about the many happenings within and around the Empire.

I will start off this annual meeting with good news." He said looking around to see many Human and Beast faces within the Council room.

As he continued his speech he talked about how crimes against Beast kind has dropped nearly to zero and that many interspecies marriages and couples can be seen throughout the Empire.

Many loudly voiced their support and encouragement to keep up the good work Jacob was doing. There were some smiles from older generation Beast kin that went through the hards.h.i.+ps of trying to be accepted by the majority of Humans they shared this world with.

Next to speak was a young woman many knew to be General Derrick's wife, she walked up and began her report causing many to straighten their backs and focus.

"We the Shadow Unit have captured less rebels and rioters this past year, this shows that control over the ma.s.ses is going well, most unrest and bad blood has been suppressed these last 50 years.

While some are in hiding they pose little to no threat to the Authority the Empire now holds over the world. We have also welcomed back Prince Leon and he has brought with him good news as well as a few new wives being included into his harem.

Diana, Marry and Trisha Etrish from the hidden power known as the Lighting G.o.d Clan have moved into his domain in the South part of the Empire. They will be introduced to many of you if you have not already met with them when the Prince returned."

After speaking about Leon Layla talked about the many people the Shadow Unit had marked and killed during the past year, causing many of the Council members to feel fear.

They even knew that the Shadow Unit was now under the control of the Evergraze Clan and the Clan wanted to show impressive results as it was under Sunflowers complete control.

As the meeting was progressing smoothly like the past few years many relaxed as report after report was read out by the various departments.

The meeting even had visitors from each of the former major powers that are now apart of the Council that controls this entire Realm.

Nearing the end of the meeting a General appeared to speak about the few areas within the Mortal Realm that have yet to submit to the Dragon Empire, saying they wish to remain independent as well as those that decided that now was the time to reveal their forces for all to see.

For the ones who showed aggression and a want to control the entire Realm they started strong until they left their controlled territory and clashed against the Dragon Empires legions.

Derrick was the Spearhead used against many of the hidden powers as General Three Suns was given total command of all the Empires forces. Three Suns directed Derrick to face off against the many armies the hidden powers possessed.

He also sent out Timothy and Elder Vincent each commanding a Elite unit against powers that were to much for Derrick to confront with the Dragon Empires newly built army of Pathless G.o.ds.

Using this method Three Suns grinded against the Enemy with the newly built Legions using newly made Generals helping them gain the much needed experience that would be needed for future Realm wars Tia told him about.

As well as showing off the overwhelming power of Timothy and the Various True G.o.ds under the Dragon Empires control.

Hearing the war effort was going well against the many hidden forces within the Mortal Realm the former Major powers were overjoyed that they hurriedly joined the Dragon Empire while it was still building up to become the power it is today.

The Blue Stone Guards, Evening Sun, Rising Tide and the Snow Wind Major powers were sitting among the many Elders today within the Dragon Empire's Palace as members of the Council. They had full control of their former territories while the only thing that changed were the laws that they followed.

As well as building ma.s.sive Teleportation Gates in Major cities and worlds they wished to connect to the Main homeworld of the Dragon Empire as well as the hidden world New Teress.

They happily sent their best descendents to New Teress were they learned many if not a large majority of the Dragon Empires True G.o.ds came from this place. Three Suns and Timothy were the best examples that the Dragon Empire's hidden world New Teress created countless talents.

The Council meeting was nearing its end when a Pathless G.o.d, guard rushed into the room and announced Lady Samara's return.

.....

Dragon Empire, Lime Leaf

Within the Thousand Empress Palace thousands cast wondrous glances at the 10 year old Samara sitting on the Emperor's throne.

They knew very well that the guard under the direct control of Lady Eleanor would never mistake one of the Emperor's children for Lady Samara but they could not stop thinking the guard has lost her mind.

Looking at the thousand are so Elders of the Council Samara unleashed her aura crus.h.i.+ng them all, forcing many of them to kneel down.

The few who did not kneel were those who she commanded and Elders she favored.

Everyone looked up as Layla and many of the Militaries Generals were still standing while they were forced down, they then watched as that group of people move closer to Samara and knelt down.

Saying in unison the group of Samara's followers spoke.

"Welcome Back!! Empress Samara."

Silence was heard after they spoke and only the pounding heart beats could be heard from the Elders, Guard, and maids alike. A few knew that Lady Samara now possessed a body of a child but they did not dare ask why, but today they could tell Samara was enraged.

Who was about to meet their end under the hand of this enraged Empress?

Everyone within the room began to sweat thinking it was them, who knew maybe the great progress within the Empire was nothing in her eyes.

A few of the braver Elders were about to speak up when they spotted a beautiful young woman and Vesta's wife holding hands enter the room.

Here for all the influential members of the Dragon Empire to see Samara stood up and announced.

"We Guardians from the Teress Realm have ruled the Mortal Realm for more than 50 years and today I will be announcing a few things!!

First let us welcome back my 'child' Heir to the throne Vesta and her wife Larisa."

Dead silence was heard after those words, then everyone s.h.i.+fted their gaze towards 'Vesta'.

Gulping down the dry cold spit in his throat was a young General who came to give the report for the military.

"Lady Vesta!?

I am Tes Twine, this will be my first time meeting any of the Emperors children. Welcome back to the Dragon Empire my young Princesses." Tes said to both Vesta and Larisa.

Everyone looked at him as if he was about to turn into blood paste all over the throne rooms floors.

They watched as Samara had visible changes to her expression ones of murder and rage followed by defeat. They even heard the pilling of metal off the Emperor's Throne.

Vesta ignored her mother and moved forward in front of the crowd.

"As many of you all know my Father is a Guardian, who lead an army of 1 thousand Ancients, five hundred Draconians and five hundred Observers into the Mortal Realm.

My mother Empress Samara is also a Guardian along with Empress Valara.

Lady Tia is a young leader of the Ancients, Kiera a leader of the Draconians and Eleanor leads the Observers who joined my Father in his trip to different Realms.

We Guardians can at will change our gender from male to female or female to male, as we grow and experience the world we might permanently remain one gender but most remain able to change their Genders whenever they wish.

I won't make a fuss of this like my mother has but I am now Permanently female, while I still hold the highest chance to inherit the throne from my father that will be something for the future.

I will remain in the Palace from now on as I gained much during my travels."

Saying so Vesta and Larisa both turned to Samara and bowed before opening a rift and walking through it vanis.h.i.+ng from sight.

Once the pair left Tes felt proud as he was the only one brave enough to meet with the future ruler of the Dragon Empire out of all the Elders and others here. He turned to give a smirk to the others only to heard Empress Samara utter a bloodthirsty scream as if possessed by madness.

She then ripped open a rift and chased after the two who 'fled'.

When everyone was sure she was gone for good they looked at Tes to make sure he was not already dead, after ensuring he would not burst into a pool of blood Layla walked up to the youth and hugged him.

"Child you are the bravest person I am sure I will ever meet, when you return to the Dragon Clan go and learn who Lord Vesta is and get your brain checked by the medics within the military.

If you can't find a competent doctor I can ask a favor and get Nathaniel to take a look at you."

Letting go Layla wiped the sweat off her forehead and vanished into a shadow that flew out of the Palace.

The other Elders looked at Tes as if looking at someone who would disappear once they left this place.

Having everyone one of the Elders give him looks of pity his face turned red, he has never met anyone other than the Emperor and was sure he did nothing wrong.

"Just spit it out I have met the Emperor as a child and know he is one who does as he pleases.

So if I did something wrong please Elders enlighten me." Tes said as he bowed his head at the many Elders.

An old Elder walked forward and talked after seeing no one willing to move.

"Vesta Blood Rain! He... She was the Emperor's First born Son.

Empress Samara is Vesta's Mother and was more than happy that out of all the Emperors wives she birthed not only the first child for the Emperor but a Son."

Walking away the Elder felt himself age and everyone around him saw the old man who was a Dragon Empire Loyalist become a young man.

He was overjoyed thinking this was a gift Empress Samara gave him, then he thought about it and his blood went cold as he was sent flying into the Palace walls.

"This is my gift for you Elder!
