Chapter 12: The Pangea

{~!!Fun Fact!!- Alfred Wegener was the first person to announce that the seven continents used to be one whole, and called it the 'Pangaea'. But most common name for it was the 'Pangea'.~}

{~This isn't completely accurate, so bear with me damnit~}

I decided to talk a stroll around the woods, cuz' why not. Lately, things have been going from zero, to a hundred, then back to zero. It made me exhausted. I passed by several creeks and streams. I passed by several flowers and plants. I passed by several animals too, such as rabbits, dears, and birds. For some reason, animals are pretty fond of me. It sometimes triggers something in the back of my mind. Like its for a reason. Eh, sure it's nothing.
{~Let's save that for a separate story, shall we?~}
Last night was bad. I got into an argument with Texas, and he is still pissed about it. Wondering what it is, well, it's about my boss and the stupid meeting.

This so called meeting was called 'The Pangea'.
The name was based from an event millions of years ago. The seven continents used to be one whole land mass, and that one whole was called the Pangea, or sometimes Pangaea. That one land mass soon began to break apart. And well, that's where the seven continents came to be. Pangea, was basically a personification also. Or that's what England told me as a child, when I was still his colony. He said that she started to have a mental breakdown, having her mind being split into so many other people. She soon started to break apart physically. Later after the lands broke apart completely, she died. But we weren't alive yet. A million more years later after Pangea's death, two personifications started to be born. But it wasn't us. The continents have their own personifications. I don't know the names of the others, but I do know the name of the personification for North America, Europe, and Asia. That's right, we all share the same ancestor.
I think her name was Laurasia, while the other countries' ancestor was Gondwana. Once they both started to break apart as well. I guess that's when most of our ancestors and the ancients started to sprout. Which also means that's when me and Canada's mother was born, I guess.
We named the meeting this because ever single country will be there. Even the micro nations. Each country would bring their capital and boss. For me, I will bring my capital, boss, and at least two of my states. For Canada, he needs his capital, boss, and at least two of his provinces. We wanted to name it that name because we wanted it to feel special, since it will be the only event each year that would bring this many people and countries in one place.
And the place it's always held at is Antartica. It's hella cold there if you ask me. Although, Russia and Canada says it feels like a nice Christmas morning.
Not much help humans know about the existence of the Pangean building in Antartica. It's a huge building. It also took years to build, and it wasn't easy since it was freezing cold.

I stopped walking and turned back to see how far I've walked. I've been so deep in thought I didn't know which way I was going. I looked around, and noticed the tall trees and think plants. The sun was setting too, and it was nearly dark. The only thing you heard was deafening silence. Aw hell no, this ain't happening today. I'm not making this into one of those scenes. I'm not going to deal with spirits today. No wendigo is going to eat my sorry a**.

I pulled out my phone. There wasn't any service, but thank the lord for personal hotspot.
I called Texas, which he answered quickly.
"Howdy."
"Tex, so I got lost in the woods. And the sun is giving up on me. Care to shoot the breeze?"
"Damn that. You're a country. You have all the time to waste just to get back here. I'm not wasting a few bullets."
"But Tex! What if I see a wendigo?!"
"...Fine. Just wait...."
I waited a few moments till I heard a gunshot. It was coming from the east, so I walked there.
"Heard the shot?"
"Yep."
"M'kay. Better get home safe."
"Course I will. I'm a country."
"Whatever."

The call ended pretty quickly.
The gunshot wasn't loud at all. It was pretty faint. It's surprising enough that I still heard it. I didn't think I would walk this far from the house though.

After a good 1 and a half hours, I finally made it home. Well, Texas' home.
I saw him waiting outside on the porch.
"Al, what the heck took you so long?!"
"Well, turns out I was rather from the house then I thought."
"You think?! Anyways, when's the stupid meeting anyways."
"In a good few days I guess."
"Did you choose which states should be there."
"Hmm, well I guess you can. And earlier I got a call from New York yelling at me to make him go, so I guess him to."
"Ew, that guy?"
"He's your sibling, zip it. And let me in to, will you."

{~Should I personify Antartica? I mean, I know it's a continent, but still.~}
