A peaceful kingdom, a rift in the sky, and a boy who chooses to become something more.
Chapter 1
The Kingdom of Hastina-Poora has been peaceful for many years thanks to brave King Arnoval. With his two-handed Sword of Light he banished the menacing Commander Selfish to another dimension, keeping life in his beloved kingdom harmonious.
Chapter 2
Dedicated to conquering King Arnoval, Commander Selfish has opened a way for the Darklings — beasts who wreak havoc — to enter the kingdom. As the rift widens, more and more Darklings appear, bringing chaos to the once-peaceful land.
Chapter 3
A young squire named Diego wants to bring peace back to his kingdom. Taking his mentor's advice, he sets out to pass the Seven Sacred Trials and learn the Seven Energies of the Universe from mentors across the entire kingdom.
The darkness
Every beast Diego faces has a name a child will recognise: fear, hate, stress, ignorance, lies. Guardians of Peace calls them Darklings — and it teaches that the way to beat an outer Darkling is to master the inner one first.
Diego never picks up a sword. His only weapon is his inner energy, trained through Qigong: a millennia-old practice of posture, movement, breathing and meditation that is practised as a beautiful art around the world.
The film
In the animated feature, Diego is a fearless street orphan who discovers that the evil ruler Selfish is kidnapping children and draining their life force to control an entire world. Recruited by the legendary Guardians of Peace, he journeys across seven extraordinary floating islands, mastering the Seven Universal Energies and learning the true meaning of courage, friendship and sacrifice.
