On a remote island, in an area far from the kingdom, that's where Draco resides, guarding something very valuable belonging to King Orionus, something that only the successor to the throne of the Nesia Kingdom may have.
There is a unique village there, the village is filled with various creatures with unusual forms.
Some are in the form of perfect humans. Some are in the form of half humans and half horses. Some are in the form of humans but their legs, goat legs, and others.
With all these differences they all live peacefully there.
Draco himself is a creature in the form of a perfect human but he can transform into a Dragon, when he wants.

The figure of Centaurus
Introducing the two friends. Namely Centaurus and Sagittarius they are two loyal, brave, and also defending friends.
They accompany Draco in guarding the GOLDEN FEATHER (Sword of the Nesia Kingdom)
The sword belongs to King Orionus, which he has willed to be used to eradicate injustice and uphold justice.
** Flashback In the presence of his chosen people, including the Commander-in-Chief Captain Draco, King Orionus made a testament "O my chosen people! I will bequeath to all of you, if I am gone and this kingdom is in chaos then whoever it is, please save and take good care of this golden feather! (The king points to a golden feather which is located in a luxurious container). The golden feather has a unique motif from the Nesia Kingdom. Know that this golden feather is a sword that will re-establish the order of the Nesia Kingdom in the future, and it is this sword which will be used to eradicate injustice and uphold justice, this golden feather will turn into a sword only if it is held by one of my descendants who is worthy of being the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Nesia."
That is quite a long testament, which King Orionus once conveyed to his chosen people.
** Centaurus and Sagittarius. They are both unique creatures with a body shape that is half horse and half human.

Sagittarius Figure
They were both students of Draco who was the Commander of King Orionus, King of the Kingdom of Nesia.
Actually, it was not only the two of them who were Draco's students in the village, there were several other young people who were also Draco's students.
**
Sagitt and Centa were their nicknames.
**
They were trained by Draco every day about fighting techniques, self-defense, swordsmanship, and archery.
That day, the two of them were practicing archery with Draco.
"Centa! Sagitt! Today we will practice archery," said Draco's teacher.
"Okay teacher," they both answered.
Draco taught them to hold the bow and arrow correctly and perfectly.
"Okay, now pay close attention to what I do." (He gave an example).
They watched their teacher carefully.
"Do you understand?"
"We understand quite well teacher."
"Okay, then I will put the archery target for you."
Draco then placed the archery target about 180 cubits from where they were standing.
He placed the target between the trees.
"Centa! Sagitt! Shoot the target! I give you all day, shoot ten arrows at the center of the target.
I give you 30 arrows, do my orders well." The teacher ordered.
"Yes teacher" they answered.
Draco ordered them both to shoot arrows at the target, given a day, to be able to shoot ten arrows right in the middle of the target with a quota of 30 arrows, that was the training Draco gave them.
"If you fail then you will receive the punishment" said Draco's teacher continuing.
If they fail then the next day they have to cut grass as a punishment for the whole day.
However, that day they had not succeeded in carrying out Draco's task, not a single arrow hit the target let alone hit the center of the target.
"Ouch (complaining) Centa how is this?, we have not succeeded, we must be ready to bear the punishment."
"That's right Sagitt, we have to be ready to bear it."
After a full day, Draco's teacher then came to them and said "Because today you have not succeeded in doing my job well, then you must be ready to get the punishment, the punishment for you is to cut grass for a full day and then distribute the grass to residents who have livestock, so that your punishment is beneficial to others."
"Okay teacher."
"Teacher is indeed a wise person" muttered Centa.
Finally, the next day they had to cut grass around Draco's house, their house, in the forest, and other places for a full day as their punishment.
After completing their punishment, they also had to distribute the grass to residents in the village where they lived, as bait for the residents' livestock.
One by one the houses of residents who had their livestock came, and they brought a bunch of grass for their livestock feed.
The villagers were happy with their actions, even though they seemed a bit forced.
"Hey, Sagitt. We have to be open-minded in undergoing this punishment" Centa advised his friend.
"Okay, what can we do."
**
The next day Draco gave the same task to the two friends,
"Centa, Sagitt do my task yesterday well, if you fail you will know what to do."
"Okay teacher, we will try to do your task well."
That day they could only shoot 3 arrows each that hit the center of the target, the next day they both went through the same punishment that Draco had explained,
"Why does the teacher always give us the same punishment?" asked Centa to his friend.
"I don't know about that" answered Sagitt.
"Let's just follow the teacher's orders" he continued.
This was repeated for more than 10 days.
And finally they managed to carry out Draco's task perfectly.
"14 arrows have been hit right in the middle of the target, this is the last arrow, hopefully this works" said Centa.
"Yes, hopefully this works" answered Sagitt.
They then pulled the arrows together and...
Sssstttt, their arrows shot. And Ceppp, the sound of their arrows hitting the middle of the target.
"Yeah we did it Sagitt, we did it!" said Centa happily.
"That's right Centa, finally we managed to carry out Master Draco's task perfectly, surely the teacher will be very happy to know."
They managed to shoot 15 arrows right in the middle of the target given by Draco, the result was more than Draco wanted, (Draco was very happy to know).
"Good my students, you really succeeded" said Draco to them.
Draco came to Centa and Sagitt.
"Centa, Sagitt, do you know the wisdom behind the punishment you have been carrying out so far?" asked Draco.
"We don't know, teacher," they both answered.
"The wisdom is that the punishment is intended to strengthen your hands and flex your muscles, so that they are strong and sturdy when holding a bow and pulling an arrow, and to train your patience when receiving punishment," Draco explained.
