Author’s note

This novel is basically about two worlds colliding into one. Clyton was the devil advocate who wanted to take over all the villages and nations. He worked for Satan. He was a man but able to turn into a snake. He ruled many nations with his soldiers. Mainly one named Zion. His trusted soldier Clyton wanted to take over the nation of Astero, but Azalea and her army were ready and willing to not give into the Sabbatian army. She and her soldiers were ready to die for her nation (Astero). Adonai (God) sent his trusted warrior down to earth for the sake of helping Astero and its people. This warrior was Stragaton; the first and last angel of the Lord. He was a cross between Samson and Hercules and had great powers. He was like Conan the barbarian and muscular in build. I really do think this book is a great read for those who love fantasy materials. It is a series of other books about Stragaton.

Chapter 1

Clyton sent twenty thousand of his loyal soldiers to bring wanton destruction upon the country of Astero. His men reign on Astero four nights and five days, killing women and children. They captured and bound the men with fetters of chains. Then took their heads before their family. The women dragged out their huts and rape before their kids. The one soldier name Zion carried out the assassination on the people of Astero. He travels six miles on his mighty lion, while his men on horse. The soldiers used catapulted to launch large stones, arrows and even fire balls, leaving the country in ruins. They put on a severe assault on a lot of towns and cities. People lost all their savings, farms, live stocks, and homes, which engulfed into flames.

A small community of two thousand people received the worst surprise attack of its existence. Everyone in the very small village of Wave fast asleep in the late summer night. Zion and his soldiers put on a surprise attack on the community. The soldiers sat on the back of their horse in a straight line. A burst of hot smoke gushing out the animal’s mouth and nose. The horse was in warrior gear and ready for war. Zion raised his hand and signaled his soldiers to attack the people of Wave. Brum walked sheepishly out his hut and unzipped his pants to urinate. He stood behind the hut with his penis out and urinating. He felt something wrong as the dogs start to bark. Brum looked over his shoulder at the sky. His heart rushing with fear and nervousness. He is peeing on his pants legs and fondling with his zipper. A gaggle of red balls of flames shoots through the sky, leaving the small community in disarray; everyone running, screaming, and grabbing their kids. Brum scrambled up a few women and children. He made sure every one of them head straight into the wooded area. Once he felt everyone were safe, Brum moved a few shrubs and open a cellar door for everyone to head below ground level. One by one, women and children climb down a wooden ladder and disappear into the cellar. Brum hand them the bright lamp and gave them specific orders to stay put without making a sound. He also told them to turn off the lamp in case someone lurking in the bushes.

Treacherous smoke and fire billowed the area and shoot to the sky. Then came arrows raining down on the people of Wave. After that, very large stones flew on them from out the threatening sky. Then the soldiers release the dogs. The town of Wave fallen into a mess. People running and engulfed into flames. They are screaming and running in a state of confusion. A 200-houndred pound mastiff left a gruesome bite mark on a little girl face, removing her ear and cheek. She was running and screaming for her mother who fell to the ground when her head roll off her shoulder. The 200-pound mastiff; a cold-blooded creature. The huge dog chased down the little girl and bit off the back of her head. The Clyton soldiers rode on their high horse and slaughtering the village people with their sword. Brum hid behind a hut. He came upon a human corpse of a dead girl who had been viciously mutilated. A great huge dog stood over the corpse. The mastiff caught his attention and picked up his scent. Brum realize trouble ahead of him. A second dog put on alert. The mastiff fled from the dead girl and chase after him.

Zion sat on his lion and watching everything unfold before his very eyes. He watched from atop a hill. He amazed how beautiful death look. The flames lit up the night with billow of smoke shooting into the sky. He watched how the village turned into a destructive blaze. Brum sprint and jump over large pieces of logs and rocks. He heads straight back into the woods with the hound in tow. He was running for his life. Brum nearly out run the dogs when both animals slipped and fell off a large rock. He sprinted into the woods and raced to the first branch hanging from a tree. Brum passes the large piece of branch. Then spun on his legs and raced towards the animals. The hound breeze passed the mastiff and head straight for his prey. He had a cold look of death. Brum perform a flying leap in the air. He grabbed on to a long branch and the hound knocked down cold. Brum present the animal with a flying kick to his throat. The hound made a terrifying sound, flipping backwards in the air over the mastiff until a rock met his head. The hound brain smashes into pudding. Brum released the branch and land on both legs. The mastiff races towards him with his teeth showing and foaming at the mouth. In a blink of an eye, Brum drew his shiv with his right hand and gripped a piece of stick in the left. Suddenly, the dog sprang onto him and bit greedily down on the stick. Brum became a cold-blooded murder. He repeatedly gutted the two-hundred-pound dog, leaving multiple holes in his heart and washed the woods with the animal blood. A soldier from afar saw what just took place to his dog. He beat his horse with the whip and galloped at the dog killer. Brum did not run or hide in the branches nearby as he heard terrifying screams from villages burning in flames and struck down by the army of Clyton. He became a cold person. Brum picked up the biggest rock he could find. He tossed the rock at the soldier head and knocked him from his horse. The man bled from his wounded head while tangle in the thick bushes. Brum rushes for his sword and struck him down. Before the other soldiers popped on the scene, Brum scaled the horse and disappeared into the dark woods.

Chapter 2

Emperor Clyton, who ruled with supreme authority, seated comfortably in his gold chariot outside his magnificent palace and flanked by more than a dozen armed soldiers. Some of them on horses and foot. He waits for his assistant arrival who was running towards the chariot. Joe met with his ruler immediately involve the country Wave. He glimpses attentively at the soldiers who stood firm in a soldier position. Lord Clyton, Emperor of Sabbat, he said, I have good news.

Clyton look with piercing eyeballs. Tell me this good news Joe, he responded in a mild tone, You have not given me one in so long.

Joe flashes a confident expression. Our fighters won the battle, he praised, They capture and kill the army in Wave. No one seems to escape Zion. Our fighter is in total control.

Clyton was grateful for his troop accomplishments and success. That’s pretty amazing, he impressed and added, Did you receive information on my son?

Joe hesitated and replied, I have no word on your son where about. My true divine emperor. Perhaps Zion will fill you in on the boy. Clyton gave him a cold and contemptuous expression. He looked away and kept his eyes before him. If you fail to give me information again, he gravely stated. I will fetch your wife myself and allow these soldiers to have their way with her. Do I have your attention, my little assistant?

Joe became very shocked and afraid with cramps in his stomach. I do understand, Emperor Clyton of Sabbat, he belittles, I will not fail you again.

Joe moved away from the chariot and disappeared like a stray dog with his leg stuck between his legs. He felt like chicken shit as the soldiers smiling.

The gold chariot flanked by soldiers while rolling down the estate. There were young and exotic females disorderly dressed in sexy outfits. They were strolling about the property. One of the beautiful women strayed away from the bevy of beauties and accompanied Joe to a private area of the property.

Chapter 3

The small village in Wave took a wrong turn for the worst. The soldiers burnt the village to the ground, leaving the area strewn with human corpse and dead carcass. The area filled with fire and terrifying smoke. That did not stop the mighty lion from patrolling the village and seeing if any survivors. Zion sat on his back and looking at the village. He saw the soldiers turning over human corpse and checking their mug. The soldiers swept the area on foot and horse. They fail to find Clyton’s son. Zion order the soldiers to keep searching until all the dead been check. A dozen soldiers brought ten villagers before Zion and shove them down on their knees. One of the villagers sprang on his legs and made a quick dash. Zion signaled his men not to harm the villager. He wanted him for himself. The villager running for his life, jumping over corpse, and heading for the woods. The mighty lion’s name beast stood his ground and roar at the man running. The villagers and some of the soldier trembles at the lion snarl. They never saw such monstrous brute. Zion came down from his mighty lion that stood eight feet tall with long massive head, treacherous sharp claws, and dagger like teeth. Before the man reached too far into the woods, the mighty beast chased him down and killed him savagely. The villagers tremble at the frightening sound of the killer lion. They felt the ground tremble and a few trees topple to its feet. A few seconds later, the mighty lion walked out the dark woods with the human corpse in its mouth. The corpse had no face while the lion walks proudly up to Zion and dropped the dead body on the ground. Zion stared up at the monstrous beast with blood dripping from its teeth. He pointed down to the human corpse. Mighty beast, Zion uttered aloud, Eat, eat. Eat.

Brum got a clear view of the mighty lion which called beast. He had never seen such huge and muscular lion. Only stories he heard from the elderly villagers. Brum hid in a tall tree. He fell into a state of shock to see the mighty beast wolfing down the human corpse. Like the villagers, Brum was in a state of discombobulated as well. He dislikes what he saw, especially when the soldiers start to
