The soft crunch of snow reverberated across the wonderland as the small boy wandered over the bridge.
"It's been snowing for the past few days now," he told his companion, a small dog. "Did you know," he continued contentedly. "that there are countries further south that have flowers bloom all year?"
The boy halted, and took a step back when he caught sight of another boy, a few meters ahead.
He was taller, and smiling pleasantly despite the biting frost. The soft wind tousled his snow white hair and scarf. Hearing the crunching stop, he opened his deep violet eyes and fixed them on the smaller boy.
"G-Good day," he called out in a childishly high voice.
The dog began barking at the boy.
"What are you doing? You'll freeze out-"
"That puppy of yours is really cute!" he interrupted.
The small boy knelt down and quieted his companion then turned back to the violet eyed boy.
"Are you a country, too?"
"Yes. I am Russia. Right now I am under Tartar's rule- but one day I'll be a big, strong country! And when that happens we'll be friends!"
As little Lithuania watched Russia turn and run away he could never have guessed how their paths would intertwine.

The Russian troops stormed across the Lithuanian border. There was chaos as the troops razed all that stood in the way.
"You have to do something!" Lithuania's boss cried.
The nation nodded dutifully before he seized his gun and stepped out into the whirling snow. The tallest of all the soldiers turned and faced the invaded nation.
His smile was still the same, but his eyes disguised years of torture.
"There you are, little Litva!" Russia exclaimed amidst the soldiers dying. "I came back for you!"
He raised his pistol with malicious innocence and aimed straight for the heart.
{Bang bang, he shot me down}
Lithuania's hand flew to his chest, milliseconds after the bullet plunged into his muscle. Collapsing with a harsh crunch, he stared up at the larger nation.
{Bang bang, I hit the ground}
Blood seeped through his delicate fingers as the price of war took its toll on the smaller nation. He continued to regard Russia, despite his dwindling strength, as the latter knelt before him.
"Don't worry, Litva. I'll let you work at my place." His ever-present, innocent smile only conveyed dread.
"What?" Lithuania coughed, blood coating his lips.
"You lost, so it's not exactly like you have a choice!" he chirped as he seized the fragile nation and began to drag him back home.
{Bang bang, that awful sound}
With the last of his strength, Lithuania turned and fixed his forest green eyes on his long time companion.
"Poland! Come on! Wake up!"
Tears stung his eyes as Poland glanced up and met his intense stare.
"Poland!" he shrieked, pulling against Russia's impossible grip.
"Dude!" Poland yelled back. "your face just cracks me up!"
{Bang bang, my baby shot me down}
