Hi!
Well, since most of my readers from Shinigami asked for a sequel, here it is. Guardian takes place 1000 years after Shinigami, and explanations are what this prologue and chapter 1 are for. Please read and review, and I hope you all like Guardian!
The Prologue of Guardian is rather like the Prologue of Shinigami – kinda dry and boring. Sorry.
If you have not read Shinigami, I highly suggest that you do so, as you will be very lost while reading this story. If you have read it, then the prologue is a very much-shortened highlight of what happened in Shinigami and in the 1000-year gap, though Ch. 1 will help more with that.
Thanks to my new beta, moonpixi.
Disclaimer: I was sailing the seven seas, when suddenly I spied the dread Pirate Red Beard. After the battle was over, and he had boarded my ship, he took me into his office/cabin, and showed me a map to a secret island, where there was a treasure greater than all eternity. I stole the map snuck out in the life boat, and navigated to the island by using the stars to guide me, and no food for four weeks, and all I got is $872,000,000 worthless doubloons, and a map, which shows me to yet another clue to owning Gundam Wing!
Enjoy!

Guardian
1000 years have passed since the death of the High Queen.
1000 years ago, the High Queen died in a battle with a woman named Eileen, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Demons". The High Queen left behind her eight reborn Guardians, the strongest of whom became High King in her absence.
In the time since the Lady's death, the High King – also the Guardian of the element of Fire and the former Gundam Pilot Heero Yuy – has been traveling to the different worlds to protect their people and the elements from misuse of magic, which is a very high crime. The remaining seven Guardians were brought to the world of Virilia, the place where the High Monarchs reign and the Guardians base themselves to train in using their newly re-discovered powers.
The Guardian of the elements of Air and Lightning, former Gundam Pilot Duo Maxwell, is not just a Guardian. He is also a Shinigami – a member of a race of beings who were created by Death to hunt those who are evil and assassinate them. When his sister, the oldest Shinigami and the High Queen, died, Duo was left with the job of leading the Shinigami along with the being known as Kitten – Death's daughter. Duo is known as Gami when he is acting as a Shinigami, and his sister was known as Shina.
The Guardians of Air (or Lightning), Earth, Empathy (or Heart), Mind, Fighting, Chaos, and Healing have all finished their training at the end of the thousand years. Now, they must do what the Lady did before them and the High King does now – protect the people of the worlds… and though they may not know it, the elements themselves…

Well, what do you all think? I know it's short, but it's only a prologue, and I am in the process of writing chapter 1, which should be longer. Sorry!
Please review. It really does make me write faster, and without them I can be a long time between updates…
