Memories

Chapter 4

+This one has some violence in it+

It seemed that the short break had been necessary. The previous tension within the room having backed off somewhat.

During said reliever, most nations had gotten something to eat from the cafeteria located inside the building.

"I still can't get over you loosing a war to a bunch of birds!" America's obnoxious laugh rang throughout the meeting room.

"Yeah well you saw how big they were! They're fucking terrifying!" Australia tried to defend himself. A few other nations had been listening in and couldn't help but laugh at the memory they had seen.

Once everyone had returned from the break, it appeared that Japan and China had not spoken a word to one another. Japan had even changed seats, now situated on the other side of Italy. It wasn't a big change but at least the two weren't glaring at the other now.

"Hurry up West and press play!" Prussia exclaimed loudly and Germany sighed in exasperation, albeit, he picked up the sleek, black remote and pressed play.

The room began to settle as the screen darkened.

A large and luxurious room was shown. Human's dressed in exquisite outfits argued amongst themselves.

"Oh that's the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles." France exclaimed in recognition.

"Is it your memory then?" Finland inquired and the Frenchman shook his head.

"I don't think so." He explained.

Suddenly a commotion had heads raised, and the doors were thrown open. In came Prussia, dressed in his Teutonic knight outfit, a smug expression on his face. He was closely followed by France, the blonde wearing a frown.

"I told you I'd win!" Prussia mocked the other. France could only grumble.

"Good, you're finally here. Take a seat." One of the male's stated with an exasperated expression on his face.

The two personifications moved to take a seat.

"Listen up, seeing as the Franco-Prussian War has come to a conclusion, the independent German states have unified together to become The German Empire." One of the German princes announced. France frowned whilst Prussia smirked.

"Well it's to be expected, most of the German states have been working towards this since Napoleon was around and kicking." The albino sounded smug as he turned in the blonde's direction.

"Oh shut up." The Frenchman huffed.

"Both of you; please." A prince snapped and both personifications turned back to the front of the room.

"Otto von Bismarck, the Prime Minister of Prussia has agreed to become the Chancellor of the Empire." The male continued quickly.

"Finally, I would like you all to meet the personification of the unified German states; The German Empire." The dark haired male with his luxurious clothes moved to reveal a young boy.

Both Prussia and France's eyes widened as the young nation approached them. He appeared to be around the age of seven or eight. Blonde hair that fell over light blue eyes.

"Hallo, I am The German Empire. It's nice to meet you." The child held out his hand in greeting.

"Woah wait up! Germany is that you!" America exclaimed and more then one personification's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah..." Germany muttered awkwardly.

"When was this?" Japan inquired politely.

"1871." The blonde answered.
