I got inspired for a bit and several little shorts came up.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Iceland/Liechtenstein:
He remembered when he first saw her.
It was just for a brief moment, when he was invited to a celebration of Berwald's victory sometime in the 1640's and invasion of several Holy Roman States. They were on opposing sides at this point, but he knew that Berwald wanted to overlord it over Mathias and Haakon who opted to not attend. She was dressed very prettily, her hair in two braids on the side of her hair, dressed in the fashion of time, according to Swedish standards, in white and blue.
Arthur Kirkland, and his interruption of his starring at the young woman caught him off guard; he pretended to be unbothered by it and hide his wandering eye. He spoke quickly and left the presence of the British man.
He would later come to learn her name, Lilli. He thought it was beautiful but after that party, he never saw her again but kept the image of her in his mind. Close to Three Hundred and Twenty years later, in 1970, he finally saw her again. Her hair was still in braids but she dressed in simpler dresses tied to her Germanic roots. Joining the European Free Trade Association was a wise move; it brought him closer to his own "Brothers" of Berwald, Tino, Mathias and Haakon.
Seeing his opportunity, he walked over to her and gave a polite smile. "Kveðjur. I am Iceland, Emil"
He would never admit it but he felt his heart patter like the winds within his country during the winters when she turned and gave him a bright smile, it lightening up to her eyes.
"Grüße. I am Liechtenstein, Lilli"
Notes:
*From 1618-1648, the continent of Europe was embroiled in a state of war called the "Thirty Years War" and is considered one of the destructive wars on the continent. Sweden did invade Liechtenstein in 1647, right before the the signing of the Treasties of Osnabrück and Münster, also referred to as the Peace of Westphalia in the history books. I played a bit with the idea that Iceland would be invited but considering that The Denmark-Norway Union was once on the side of Sweden for the first half of the Thirty Years War, it would have been interesting and served as a plot device.
*In the 1960's, the EFTA [European Free Trade Association] was founded as an alternative to the EEC [currently the European Union]. With Liechtenstein's interests being represented by Switzerland but it joined independently in 1991. Iceland joined the EFTA in 1970. So yes, the two would have been there and potentially meet.
Mathias – Denmark & Haakon – Norway. Names used for my purposes.
Kveðjur & Grüße are Greetings in Icelandic and German.
