Way back when elves and angels were allies there was a betrayal in the kingdom of Angels. Prince Ezekiel the third, decided he was tired of sharing the sacred land with the elves and shed blood. The greedy son’s victim was the eldest daughter of the elf king: Asmara. Legend has it that the elvin princess and angel prince had been in love but the princess had a change in heart and fell in love with another elf in the royal family. In his heartbreak he sought revenge on the princess and then killed himself right after. Their blood still stains the grown where they had died.
Since hence the Elvin God darkened the angels’ wings jet black, soiling the pure white feathering that everyone was so found of. They were banished from the heavens and placed on earth to rot for all eternity, the greed and madness bathing over them turning them into bloodthirsty dark angels of the night that they are today. The land between the two kingdoms never free of bloodshed has diminished its beauty.
The elvin god seeing what had become of his plentiful land formed an invisible bond that no one could sense on the two royal families first child in hopes their building love for each other would still the war that had been going on between the two species for centuries.

Cool! Er... can I give feedback? Eh, whatever. I'm just going to go ahead and do it.

So, I noticed a few grammatical/typing errors if you want me to point them out, but that's not really important in the early stages of a story. Something I would always recommend doing is showing and not telling. For example, saying something like: "He became angry." is much less interesting than something like: "He reddened as his brow furrowed in outrage at the insult."

Maybe that's not the most stellar example (since it's concentrates around emotion and I found this particular piece concentrated around setting), but you see how making things implied can make them more engaging than simply telling about them?

Anyway, can't wait to see more and if you'd like me to point out any typing errors, just let me know.
