A/N: just an idea that popped into my head. I named Britannia Caoilainn (kay-linn) after looking through some Celtic names and it was one of the ones I liked the most. Scotland is Alasdair, Wales is Jareth (yes I know that Jareth is the name of the Goblin King in Labyrinth but is the Welsh name that I liked most), Northern Ireland "North" is Sean, and Ireland is Cian (key-in) (I love this name). I didn't choose the names for their meanings I just like the way they sound. Also I am not writing accents I suck at it plus you people have imaginations you can pretend that the characters are speaking in their respective accents. Please enjoy the fanfic.

Prolog: The Promise
Caoilainn (kay-linn), also known as Britannia to most, and to five young countries, she known as mom. Caoilainn was lying on her death bed having given all of her land to her sons. She had only an hour ago given the last of her land to her youngest son Arthur so that he could live. She looks to her oldest Alasdair who looks to be only around ten at the time and says to him
"Alasdair I need you to promise me something."
"What do you want me too promise you?"
"I want you to promise me that you will look after your brothers, Arthur especially because he is so young other countries are more likely to go after him. Will you promise me this?"
"Yes mother I will look after them all I promise you."
And with that Britannia smiled at her sons and took her last breath before finally fading out of existence. Alasdair looked at his younger brothers and knew that they couldn't stay the other adult countries would be coming soon to try and claim their land so he says to them
"We need to leave now or else the others will come for us."
"But, Ali," Jareth, the second youngest said, "We need to pack some things before we can leave"
"I agree with Jare," said Cian, the second oldest, "We need supplies before we can go anywhere."
"Alright" an exasperated Alasdair said "Gather what you can and make sure you bring stuff specifically for Arthur."
And with that Cian, Sean, and Jareth began their preparations to leave while Alasdair looked after Arthur the baby. Arthur was only a baby and had no clue as to the tragedy that had befallen his family leaving him and his brothers orphans in a world that can be too cruel at times.
A/N: I was thinking that Alasdair (Scotland) would be the oldest and at this time be about ten in appearance. Cian (Ireland) and Sean (N. Ireland) would be twins with Cian being the older of the two, would be around six or eight. And Jareth (Wales) would be around three to five, and Arthur (England) is kind of a new born.
