Country Stories presents: Chaos (LEGACY)

After his small solo tea party, UK decided to take a stroll through the residential area, as its perfectly laid stone pathways and trees gave him a pleasant sense of tranquility. By this point in the walk he was already lost in his thoughts, when...

Portugal: Hey ,Kingdom! What are you on your head about now?

UK: Oh Portugal, I didn't realize you were here, my apologies

Portugal: No problem, you looked very focused right now

UK: Well, I agree with you on that...I've been thinking about how strange this day has been

Portugal: Strange? In what sense?

UK: The only topic of conversation I have come across today has been World War I.

Portugal: Don't tell me! It's just what I was thinking! Although I thought that being part of the Big 5 you would be used to these things

UK: I assure you it doesn't...at all. What brings you here?

Portugal: The same as you, apparently, I wanted to walk for a while...but since you're here, why don't we follow the trending conversation in a quick round of poker?

UK: Well, I would never say no to a card game with you, I would love to challenge someone as smart as a cat...or should I say sneaky like Japan?

Just then, as if summoned, Japan leaned out of a tree branch, dangling upside down, obviously surprising the pair of friends.

Japan: Did you call me~nya ?

UK/PT: AHHH!

UK: O-Oh, it's just you, Japan ,hi

Japan: Sorry about that~nya...I just heard my name and I couldn't help it~nya !

Portugal: Don't worry about it, messenger pigeons don't hold a grudge

Japan: Messenger Pigeons~nya ! So you still remember it, Portugal-senpai!

Portugal: Of course I remember. What about you, Kingdom?

UK: W-Well ...—he cleared his throat —unfortunately I remember it, I hope it's not too late to apologize

Portugal: Don't apologize for anything! In fact, that was the most interesting thing that happened to me before carnations became my favorite flower.

Japan: That experience was also very interesting for me! Glad to remember it~nya

RU: Well then...I think I'm happy for you, and apparently we already have a topic of conversation, so...

Portugal: Let's play some poker! See you later, Japan

Japan: I'll be cheering for you both~nya!

The spring of 1916 had not been easy nor boring for Portugal, since from that spring until this time of summer, Portugal had officially entered the war with Germany and had spent 2 years in Africa, giving word of honor to the oldest alliance in the world with his best friend, UK. Since 1914, Portugal had become one of the pigeons of UK, who helped him with some orders that he could not perform because he was stuck in a foxhole somewhere in Western Europe. On that occasion, he had moved to his portion of East Africa to settle affairs with Germany, who apparently wanted to destabilize his colony, Portugal was transporting himself in an ephemeral boat from the small island of Kionga , which he had just captured, when he took out a small roll of paper from his bag, it was an instruction disguised as a letter, just sent by the UK the day before.
