In a kingdom far away there was a princess named Cinderella. Actually it was in a nameless town in a nameless land where this story takes place.

-cut to reality-

My name is Roderich Edelstein (Austria) and this is my fairytale story.

I grew up in this town with my dad Basch (Switzerland), a man who is known for his violent nature and his kindness towards others in need. We weren't rich but we were happy with our lives and the Diner he owned.

This Diner you see was just your everyday small town family owned Restaurant, but here quality wasn't seen over quantity, and everyone was treated like family.

"Alright blow out your candles and make a wish," a man with blue eyes and blond hair said to young Roderich.

Said young Roderich was seated at a table in the family restaurant with his dad, friends, and adopted family around him. Sitting next to him was another young boy who would later on become his best friend, Im Yong Soo (Korea).

Standing off to the side was man named Sadik Adnan (Turkey), and two woman named Deianira Karpusi (Greece), and Nashwa Hassan (Egypt).

Other than my own piano what more could I want. And with that in mind Roderich blew out his candles.

But apparently my dad had thought differently.

A woman with platinum blonde hair had been walking by when she slipped (on what we will never know) and fell into Basch's arms, and before anyone knew it it was love at first sight.

Before I knew it Natalia (Belarus) and her sons Alfred (America) and Ivan (Russia) had moved into our house, and not long afterwords I lost my dad.

"And they lived happily ever after," Basch read to Roderich one night before going to bed.

And then the world came crashing down. Suddenly everything started shaking, an earthquake had struck.

Quickly Basch picked Roderich up and brought him to the bedroom doorway. Everything was fine when suddenly Natalia started calling for help somewhere else in the house. Basch went to help her when Roderich grabbed his hand telling him to stay.

"I'll be back don't worry."

And then my childhood ended.
