Russia:

There are some people who decide to take the hard path in life. I'm proud to say I'm one of them. I took risks, I fell, I lost. Yet I still lived through it all. Sometimes that's the worst part of it all.

I live, constantly, with memories of every single moment of pain. Memories that will never go away.

The memories start at a single moment. I told Lithuania I would become a big country someday, but I had no idea how big I would really become.

In the end, my biggest rival became myself.


Author's Note: Okay, this chapter is a little shorter than what I hope the others will be, but those of you who've read my other stuff know my first chapter is always pretty short.
