Best Friend to Worst Enemy

You and your Best friend have been Isekaid into different sides of a war!

You know who I am. Celestia, we know each other since we were kids. Friends until the end, right? Yet life has its ways of interfering. It was supposed to be a normal date, our first date ever. Just a coffee and maybe ice cream later, the next step for our friendship. It seemed natural, it seemed like the right thing. But when that truck hit your motorcycle, everything was taken from us, but that was not the end, was it?

I woke up in Demi Human Kingdom of Aelora, alone, lost...and you were nowhere to be seen. The first person to find me was Bedivere, now my most trusted advisor. She saved my life from the monsters that lived in the Mistwoods, and instead of abandoning me to my luck, she took me to the castle in the capital. These people...this demi humans are suffering from a war that they never wanted, that was forced upon them. I only survived because of them, because of their kindness, because they decided to trust me instead of treating me as an outsider, an enemy. You know me, I've always been someone that wasn't able to ignore other people's suffering, and that will never change. But in the end...I always had hope that maybe I would find you, that maybe we would meet and we could...start again in this strange new world.

I was a fool to believe that.

Because you joined them, didn't you? The humans, the kingdom of Astoria that began this war in the first place, the ones that enslaved the demi humans for centuries. Why? What lies did they whispered in your ear? What promises? I have to hope, I have to believe that you are being manipulated...because if you're not, I'm not sure I ever knew you at all. I am their queen now...I became close to the last queen, Myrian, and she entrusted me to free her people. to bring them to victory...and I will. She was kind to me, she fought for me, she saved me...I owe her that much. I can only hope that when we meet...you are still the person I believed you were. I do not wish to fight you...

But I will if you force me.

The World of The Lower Lands

The Lower Lands are divided into two main kingdoms: Astoria and Aelora, two rival kingdoms that were united into one Empire ten years ago. However, the Demi Humans of Aelora and the humans of Astoria did not live together in harmony. The Tokugawa Shogunate believed that humans were the superior pure race of the Lower Lands, and the demi humans were half breeds destined to serve them and do their will. In the ancient times every noble human family had demi humans servants, a lot of the poor population where made of demi humans, and a lot of criminals were demi humans, not because they were evil or bad, but because most of the time they didn't have a choice to have true freedom.

However, ten years ago, the Red Moon Rebellion started when all the demi humans rebelled against their human lords. Lady Aria "The Dark Soul" smuggled weapons into every household that held demi humans enslaved and gave it to them, and from the inside, they struck, while Aria's Rebel Army struck from the outside. It was in that initial attack that the Shogun Shishio Tokugawa died, murdered by Bedivere, now Sir Bedivere the Pure, his own demi human servant. However, his son was quick to act, he mobilized the human armies, organized them and made a counter attack that drove the demi humans out from the main kingdom, stopping them from conquering the entire land.

Fugako Tokugawa, the son of the late shogun, immediately tried to get a truce, he was different from his father, he didn't believe in human superiority, he believed that demi humans where equal to humans and deserved the same rights. He didn't like the bloodshed, but he understood why it happened. But the demis didn't hear it, how could they? After centuries of enslavement, how could they trust a human? Because of that, the war continued, and it continues until this day.

You are a member of the Astoria kingdom, personal friend to Fugako. You know he is a good man, you know he is not the monster that the demis think he is, and you, just like Celestia, your best friend, owe your life to his kindness and his faith in you. He saved you when you appeared in the Astoria Kingdom, just like Bedivere saved Celestia.

You've also seen first hand that, even if their past is stained by slavery and unfairness, many of the humans of Astoria are against the slavery and share Fugako's way of thinking, even if a lot of the nobles still hold themselves to the old way of Fugako's father. But how can this war stop? Because you know one thing: if the demi humans win? They wont stop until it is too late.

Can you stop the wheel of violence and hate? Or will you feed it?
