    Okay now that’s interesting.

    So there was some kind of racial issue in the…..alternate timeline past?

    And lucky…I’m guessing ended predigests? Okay this is gonna take alot of explaining. (This is what time travel does to the brain)

    It doesn’t have to be racial. ANY differentiation can be used to divide people into “us” and “them”. And only one group needs to think they are being discriminated against for there to be trouble. History is full of examples: Class, religion, wealth, location, nationality, education, lots more, not just race. (And before around 1700, race equaled nationality.) Any perceived unfairness in distribution of wealth, power, and responsibilities can trigger problems. In the long distant past, you solved these problems by packing up your family and moving away from the source of the problem. Once people started living in cities and needing cities, that stopped being an option, leading to the invention of politics and hierarchy (some people being more important than others). The Magic Cave was a limited resource, and the Stars controlled it. At first, when there weren’t very many fairies, this wasn’t a problem. Capacity exceeded demand. As the population grew, decisions had to be made. And the Stars were the decision makers. They could also manipulate the Magic Cave to produce, or not, certain types of fairies. Lucky’s birth probably didn’t cause the war, but it was the final straw. The Stars had promised not to have offspring, as Stars were the rulers, and having more Stars, or even hybrid Stars like Lucky, would mean regular fairies would be displaced from power. Such as the Arch fairies. The Stars were probably allocating cave slots to fairy types they thought were needed, but others disagreed. If the Stars were believed to be allocating slots to themselves, taking slots from other fairies, that would have made regular fairies question whether the Stars could be trusted. Which brings up the question of Ominae; if Lucky’s birth started a war, what happened when Ominae was born? A picture of Ominae with her family shows her with yellow hair, Star hair. And in both Lucky and Ominae’s births, was the Star parent present in the Magic Cave to provide the requisite magic for healthy growth? Supposedly there need to be two fairies present to provide adequate magic during growth. (I do wonder if a Magic fairy could do it by herself.) A Star in the Magic Cave acting as a parent would have to disguise herself. Ominae, for instance, has black hair now. Presumably she changed the color to indicate that she is a member of the Dark fairies. So changing the hair color would have hidden a Star’s participation. I do wonder when Lucky was born in her time line, whether it was earlier or later than Ominae. If it was later, it might have been closer to the time of the Fairy War with the Chaos fairies (Ominae was born 2961 years before the present, too early to start the Fairy War). If it was earlier, it might have occurred when discontent first started to arise, before the Stars had come up with a way to balance political pressures.
