Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. -Edgar Allen Poe

On the other side of the door, I was greeted by... Germany! At first I did not believe my eyes. It had to be a trick.

That was until the Germany look alike spoke in a very familiar voice as he extended his hand. "Hello! My name is Ludwig. It is nice to meet you."

...

Looking at Germany, I could see in his eyes that he honestly did not know who I was or who he was. This caused tears to form in my eyes and fall down my face.

"I am sorry." I hear Germany/Ludwig say as his face makes the same expression of distress that he use to make each time I would cry. "I didn't mean to make you cry."

"It is not your fault." I respond as I wipe the tears from my face, the water of my tears is making the cold hurt my face.

I am then pulled into shock, as I am embraced by Germany/Ludwig in a hug. "Please stop crying. I don't know how to handle tears."

Feeling the naturalness of his muscled arms around me, I have a feeling that Germany was still inside this body. I just had to find a way to bring him out.

"I don't know about you but I am getting cold." Ludwig/Germany says pulling me from my thoughts. "Would you like to go inside?"

Feeling the coldness fully for the first time since I left the hotel, I answer "Yes, please.."

"Ludwig." he answers back as he takes my hand and leads me into Neuschwanstien Castle.

Holding his hand, as I lead him through the Red Corridor, feels so comfortable, like I have done this before and quite often. It then that I realized that I have not asked him his name.

Deciding that taking my guest to my bedroom might be too intimate, I took him to the library. When we got there, a fire was already going in the fireplace. My guardian must have set it up. Taking a seat in one of the large plush chairs, I make a motion for my new friend to do the same.

The library that Ludwig/Germany has brought us to was two stories high with stairs that lead to the upper layer. Bookshelves, full of hardback books, cover the walls, with large plush chairs scattered around. The chairs that we now were sitting in were placed in front of a white stone fireplace, where a fire was roaring.

"Excuse me, my friend, but I forgot to ask you about your name." Said Ludwig/Germany.

Hearing this I am not sure how to answer this. Germany clams that his name is Ludwig, not the name that he shares with his country. Where did he get the name Ludwig from and why does it sound so familiar?

It takes me a few minutes before the origin of his names comes to me. When we were still trapped in that mansion, Germany had came up with the name Ludwig when the we and the other nations had made an alliance, not as nations but as humans. That was when I had chosen the name Feliciano Vargas.

"Are you okay?" Asks Ludwig, "You seemed to have blanked out."

"No, I am fine." I answer back. Some times thinking about the mansion causes me to loose myself to the past. "By the way my name is Feliciano Vargas."

Ludwig then leans forward, extending his hand towards me. "Nice to meet you, Feliciano."

"Same here, Ludwig." I answer as I take his hand into mine and we shake hands.

Breaking the handshake, Ludwig then leans back into his chair. "So what brought you to my home? It is not exactly near anything."

"Well..." I say as I get comfortable in my chair. "I am not sure if you will believe me, but I had dreams about this place. I decide that I had to check this place out because of these dreams. I never thought that I would find you here."

"Interesting." Says Ludwig as he focuses more on me. "So where did you come from?"

"My home is in Italy, but I traveled to here from Austria."

"Wow! It must be nice to see the world. All I have seen is my home. I want to go outside and see the world, like your home for starters would be nice."

"Then why haven't you? I had very little trouble getting in. The hard part really was traveling here."

"Well, there is some type of guardian to this place. He provides for me and is what keeps me in here."

Hearing this makes me a little worried about what this guardian might be. Could it be another of these things (Steves) or is it something else?

"Have you ever met your guardian?"

"No, but I have tried. He keeps disappearing some how."

Hearing this makes me wonder though. When we faced the Steves in the mansion, they seemed to hunt us down so this guardian is something else.

"I do hope that I have not gotten you trapped in here." I hear Ludwig say pulling me from my thoughts.

Bring up my guardian, makes me realize that I might have trapped Feliciano in my home. Since my guardian has tried so hard to keep me here, so there is no telling what he might do to keep both of us in the castle.

"I do hope that I have not gotten you trapped in here." I say.

"Don't worry. I can get out. I have been in worse situations." responds Feliciano. From the look on his face, I can tell that he is thinking about a past event that causes him much distress, but I don't want to push him into talking about it.

"Really? When you leave can I come with you?

(...)

Hearing Ludwig ask about leaving with me, I am surprised. He was the reason that I left Austria, so I am not going the leave him behind, but he doesn't know that.

"Of course you can. I wouldn't mind you even staying with me."

I say this because I am not sure how Ludwig could handle the outside world. I know that I should drop him off at his home and to his brother Prussia, but this might be to much of a shock. Plus I want to be selfish for once.

"Dankeschön! (Thank you!)" responds Ludwig as he jumps from his chair and embraces me. This is unexpected to me because the original Germany would never act so ecstatic but he never has been trapped in a castle for only God knows how long.

Returning the hug, we stay in embrace for sometime, until I hear the sound of feet outside the room. Breaking the hug, Ludwig runs to the door, before throwing it open and sticking his head out into the hall. He must have heard the sound too.

"Was that him?" I ask as I look at Ludwig.

"Yeah. I don't know how he can vanish so quickly. He did sounded like he was walking towards the Dinning room." Ludwig says as he takes a few steps back from the door.

"Why go there?"

"Most likely to setting up dinner." Answers Ludwig as he walks up to me, who has been in the chair the whole time. Extending a hand towards me, he then asks "Would you care to join me?"

Grabbing his hand, I answer. "Yes, that would be nice."

During our trip to the Dinning Room, Feliciano does not let go of my hand. It feels nice after being alone so long but this action causes me to blush. Lucky, Feliciano doesn't notice or maybe pretends not to notice.

When we enter the Dinning Room, I can see that my guardian has remove the red table cloth before covering the long table in food, so much food that I can barley make out the marble and gilt bronze centerpiece of the fight between a hero and a dragon.

"Wow, there is a lot here." exclaims Feliciano when he see all the food. "How does your guardian do this?"

"I am not sure but lets enjoy the food." I answer as I pull out a chair for my friend.

During the meal, Feliciano and I have a very lively conversation, in which I ask so many questions and Feliciano answers them. It was nice to have someone to talk too. During the conversation, I learn more about Feliciano's homeland, Italy, and that my home resides in the land of Germany. I don't know why but those names sound so familiar. We were having so much fun that we didn't realize how late it was until Feliciano glanced at one of the many windows.

"Man, look at how dark it is." he says in a slight panic as he pushes himself out of his chair. "I really don't want to head back into town in the dark."

"Then stay here." I respond calmly as I stand up.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, but we will have to share a room..."

"That will be oaky."

"and a bed." I say with a blush as I realize for some reason my heart is racing.

"Not a problem with me." says Feliciano and I can tell from his face that he really doesn't mind.

Ludwig leads me down another hall to what looks like a bedroom. The bedroom has paintings on the walls and carvings on the doors of what appears to be the story of two lovers. The bed is in a neo-gothic style with wooden towers, similar to the castle's towers, carve in the top. Covering the bed is a blue silk blanket embroidered with swans, crowns, lilies, and a coat of arms being held by two lions. It looks a little small for two people but I am sure that Ludwig will not mind if we are close since there is only one bed.

As he changes into something more simple and comfortable, I notice that he is missing many of the scars he had gotten in the past. That is when I remember that the first Germany had dissolved in front of me. So this is a new body, a body that as not experience the harshness of the world.

"Feliciano? Is something wrong?" I hear Ludwig ask me. I then realize that I have embraced the German from the back and that I am crying.

"It's just that..." I try to explain my actions through my tears. "...Please just let me hold you like this."

I am not sure why Feliciano started to cry. I have a feeling that it might have to do with his past, but if that is so why do I get a feeling that I might be involved and that he might be hiding something.

Anyway after Feliciano calmed down, we went to bed. It was a little hard because the bed was mainly made for one person. In the end, I ended up laying on the bed with Feliciano mostly laying on top of me.

During the night I ended up dreaming: In the dream I am walking through a forest again. as I walk I come across a wooden crate again. After struggling to open it again, I find the same person inside but this time when I pull him out of the crate his face clears and I can tell that it is Feliciano. That is when other images flash before my eyes of him and other people, that are stilled blurred out. That is until I see the image of the small child in a maid dress in a field of flowers again.

I am woken by a quite but sad sound. Looking around it takes me a few seconds before I find the origin of the noise. It was Ludwig.

Ludwig had a grief-stricken expression on his face and tear or tow were slowly sliding down his face. Tenderly, I place a hand on his face, which pulls him form his dream. he blinks a few times before pulling me down and into a hug.

"It was you." he says which confuses me.

"Excuse me?" I says because I don't understand what he means.

"It was you that was in the crate. I have found you."

"I don't understand." Hearing this makes me wonder if he means what I think he means.

"I had a dream, where in a forest, I open a crate and you were inside of it. You were wearing a tan uniform for some reason though."

Hearing this make my eyes widen. This shows me that Ludwig does have his memories as Germany, he just needs to find a way to access them.

Returning the hug, I say. "It's okay. I am here now and I am not going to leave you anytime soon."

Hearing this must helped Ludwig because his body seems to unwind, but he doesn't let go of me, not that I mind.

When I woke this morning, I was alone with no sign of another person ever being in the bed with me. This causes me to freeze up. Did I image all that happen yesterday? Have I finally gone insane?

Hearing the door open and the close, I whip my vision in that direction. Standing in front of the door is Ludwig wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, a light brown vest, and a light brown set of trousers. His feet are covered in black laced up shoes.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." Ludwig says. He must see the angst in my face. "I just usually wake up early to see the sunrise. You were looking so peaceful that I didn't want to wake you.

In a way, I find it funny that Ludwig would be woke so early, like he did as Germany. "It's okay. I guess being in an unknown place startled me."

"I see... says Ludwig as he walks towards me and the bed. "Would you like to tour my home, so it would not be so unknown to you?"

Seeing that Ludwig was ambitious to show me around Neuschwanstien Castle, I answer "Sure but can we have breakfast first?"

After our meal in the Dining room, I took Feliciano on a tour of my home.

I first took Feliciano to the Entrance Hall, which is trapezoidal in shape with the walls and ceilings decorated with oil paintings.

Next, I took him the room that is called the Throne Hall. The room walls are covered in paintings of men with gold circles around their heads, that I have learned later are the Twelve Apostles and six holy kings, and a fancy tilted floor that has animal images on it. On the ceiling is an image of the sun with a large chandelier hanging down. At one end of the room are steps that lead to nowhere. When I take Feliciano to the top of these steps, he agrees with me about the feeling that someone important should be here. After that I show him the view from the room- a lake to the left and a smaller lake to the right; in between them is another castle.

I then take him to oratory were I join Feliciano in a prayer. I don't think did it right because there is no sign that someone heard me. After that we stop by the library for a few minutes before moving on.

During the tour, after the library, I take him to the grotto. The room is filled with artificial stalactites and I show him the different colored lighting for the room. Seeing this causes Feliciano to get excited and keep talking about having a meal in this room. I am not sure that my guardian would like that.

After that we come to the room where I had found the piano. That is where Feliciano finds another door. Opening the door, we find another beautiful room that I can't believe that I have not found this place before. On the short western side of the room is a bower, which resembles a stage, is painted with a forest scene. The murals in the hall show what looks like the adventure of a knight. On the ceiling are the signs of the zodiac. Running along the north side is a gallery with two people on the consoles. On the opposite window wall, the ceiling consoles are carved with figures and what looks like symbols which look like they are tied to legends.

"Wow! All this beauty and I did not bring a camera." I hear Feliciano when we return to the bedroom. "Maybe, I can paint some the rooms when I go home."

"When you go home, can I come with you?" I ask as I take a seat on the bed.

"Of course." he says happily before noticing how late it is. "Oh man, I need to get back to Füssen!"

Füssen? That must be the name of the town that I have seen from the tower.

"Do you have to go?" I ask as we walk quickly through my home.

"Yes, my stuff is back at the hotel and I only paid for two days. If I don't return they will give away my room, and throw out my belongings." Feliciano answers as we enter the courtyard.

Approaching the door, at the far end of the courtyard, Feliciano pulls it open. I am surprised that it is unlock or that my guardian doesn't come charging out of my home. To tell the truth deep down I don't Feliciano to leave even if it just for the night. I have enjoy his company... I don't want to be alone again.

"Hey, Ludwig?" I hear Feliciano which pulls me from my depress state. "You said that never left the castle. So how long have you been here?"

Looking at Feliciano, I answer "To be honest I really don't know."

"Would you like to see the world then?"

"Yes."

"Then come with me." Feliciano says as he extends a hand to me.

Glancing back at my home for a few seconds, before I take his hand and step into the world.
