"I'll Be"

Hey it's me Steelie Wolf. Here is my second fanfic. The first official chapter will be up later tonight.
Please enjoy and review. All reviews are welcome.
Astraea. A beautiful continent that the Winglies call home. Winglies are often called angels by the neighboring continents. Their wings are the same color of their hair. Only women are born among the Winglies. Reproduction in the race allows for two women to have children without a man being involved. A Wingly can reproduce with human women.
That is of course frowned upon by not only humans but some Winglies as well. This type of opinion is only because of the war that was started 300 years before. Astraea did not exist until after the war ended. Winglies and humans lived among each other before the war. But then men started getting upset when human women were falling for the Winglies.
A meeting was secretly held by the men that ruled over the continents. No Wingly was allowed to hold a position of power. It was decided that the Winglies were a race that needed to be destroyed. The war broke out shortly after the meeting.
The soldiers went around killing every Wingly they could get their hands on. Even human women that mated with Winglies were also killed. To show women that the soldiers meant business the children born pure Winglies and half breeds were killed.
There were many ways that the men killed the children. The mildest way was by shooting or stabbing them to death. The worst way was the soldiers would have the parents watch as they tied the child up and let their dions (dogs fused with lions. The dog breed and lion visible) eat the children. After watching their children die that way, the parents either became catatonic or went completely insane killing everyone and everything until they themselves were killed.
After 200 years of fighting a meeting was held among the humans. The men that were in charge now wanted to end the war. After a week of deliberation, they decided to contact the Winglies that were in charge to negotiate peace terms.
The three Winglies in charge agreed and a meeting was held. The men were surprised to see the same women that they saw in pictures that were over 400 years old. Winglies have a very long lifespan. They age regularly until they reach their 20s and then the aging process slows down.
There are only three ways for a Wingly to die. One is by being killed. Another way is through child birth. The last way is from old age. Old age being around 7,000 to 10,000 years old. Even at those ages Winglies still look to be in their 40s or 50s.
At the meeting it was decided that the Winglies and humans would live separately. The men thought that perhaps they could live among the Winglies again but the women would not hear any of that. Hatred for humans was all the Winglies felt. The women only wanted a place that all Winglies could live and not be hurt.
A continent that the Winglies were using during the war was surrounded entirely by water. They wanted that land. It was agreed by all. Every Wingly on the planet went to this continent. This continent was named Astraea.
It would be ruled by the three Winglies that led the resistance against the humans. All three decided to split Astraea into three separate kingdoms with a castle in the middle that connected all three. The one that lived in the middle castle would make the deciding vote if all three rulers couldn't agree on something. This person was to be called Etoile.
One of the kingdoms is called Spica. This kingdom became known for developing independent women that would contribute to society.
Miator was a kingdom known for strict education policies.
The third kingdom Lulim became known for being free spirited.
The ruler of Spica is Shion Tomori. When the war broke out she united the people in her village to fight. During the war, she came across two Winglies that became her right and left hand. Momomi Kiyashiki and Kaname Kenjo were two Winglies that every human soldier were afraid of. Amane Otori joined Shion when she was saved before her execution. Tsubomi Okukawa was also saved by Shion.
Chikaru Minamoto became the ruler of Lulim. Her three friends from her village followed and fought with her. Kizuna Hyuga and Remon Natsume were very good on investigating. Kagome Byakudan usually stayed close to Chikaru or she would fall asleep where they made camp with her teddy bear in her hands.
Miyuki Rokujo is the ruler of Miator. She rose up the ranks because of all of the strategies she used to win battles. Hitomi Togi and Mizuho Kano fought along side Miyuki and their friend Shizuma Hanazono.
The Etoile was voted for after all three Kings settled down in their kingdoms and established the lords and set up of each kingdom. The person voted to be Etoile would remain the Etoile unless it was proven that she could not perform her duties properly.
Shizuma won the voting by a landslide. The people voted for her because Shizuma was the only one to regain her sanity after watching her wife be slaughtered. The only reason she regained her sanity was because of her wife Kaori Sakuragi. Kaori was a sweet girl that married Shizuma 20 years before the war started.
Before Kaori died she made Shizuma promise to live on. Kaori knew that Shizuma was going to be needed when all of this was over.
"Don't hate the humans. They are only afraid of what's different fromthem. I love you Shizuma," Kaori said as she slowly drifted away. The young Wingly died in her husband's arms. Shizuma was her husband because the Winglies used the same titles that humans used when it came to marriage. This was mainly because one Wingly gave birth to the children while the other produces what is needed to impregnate the mother.
Shizuma sat there holding Kaori until her friend Miyuki showed up. Kaori was buried while Shizuma went back to battle. When the war ended she became the Etoile.
At first Shizuma did her job the way she was meant to but loneliness was taking its toll. Shion wanted to replace Shizuma but all the Winglies in Astraea still believed in the silver-haired Etoile.
100 years have passed since the war has ended. Astraea is calm and peaceful. Well almost calm and peaceful.
Well? What do you think?
Does anyone know the correct name and spelling of Kagome's bear? If so can you tell me? I would like to use the bear's name.
Next chapter up soon.
