"That day was the first time I realized," I take a deep breath, anxious to finally admit what I had been attempting to deny since the beginning. "My entire life was built on nothing but lies." *~*~*~*~*~*~ 16 year old (Name) was a common girl, living in a quiet seaside village with her family before infamous raiders arrived and burnt it to the ground, in search of, what she assumes to be, some sort of special treasure. Her journey brings her to almost being sold on the Black Market, to a Viking Ship where she learns to wield a Battle Axe, and eventually ends up being kidnapped by a Pirate crew whose Captain owes a debt to an entire Kingdom. Strangely, all of the Pirates refer to her as "Princess". But, (Name) isn't a Princess. Right? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Story: Me ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ APH Characters: Hidekaz Himaruya OC Characters: @persona-kath

a leather-bound journal from somewhere in the destruction. an aside to @Frostfur789 's story, Treasure.

"What if... All of the worlds countries... Were people? And, to top it off, they followed all of their countries stereotypes?" Tally doesn't remember much after running away at the age of thirteen and travelling around the world. When she finds a mysterious island that no one has ever seen before out in the middle of the Pacific ocean, she decides to call it home, the only one she ever really had. When America finds her - which takes a turn for the better and worse - her memory begins returning in full swing. What lies in her past? What lies in her future? In a telling of both history and the future, no one is sure what will happen when Tally, now Thalassa, becomes determined to become a country herself.
