History of Asia:hetalia
Chapter 1: Ni hao, China!
DATE: 21OO B.C. , Xia Dynasty
"Lord, we have the current news!" A servant panting, burst into the palace. "What is it?" the emperor stood up. There were rumors everywhere that omens were disturbed. He felt a shiver as he remembered the battles that had supposedly lasted 200 years and thrown the country into chaos. 'Bad omens... this does not bode well for my country.' "Emperor!" the servant cried out." The yellow river is going to flood again!"
The emperor looked at him with piercing eyes with flames dancing in them. "Quickly, get all of the workers we can assemble!, now!" He barked out. Rumblerumblerumble... As the mass of construction workers left the palace, Shun sighed. 'If things like this is gong to happen all the time, I should give the throne up. Gun has been unsuccessful... I wonder if putting his son Yu in charge might do it.' He got up and ordered a carriage to go to the scene of the flood. The inside and the outside of the castle was a big contrast to each other. The weather seemed like the gods were hell bent on punishment. Torrent after torrents of rain crashed down to the land. Strong gales rattled the earth and lightning and thunder wreaked havoc to the bleak wasteland of a sky.
The carriage hurried, the servants' shoes slapping the wet soil, as the overbearing river got closer. The workers were around the river like a swarm of ants making walls around the river.
"Faster! Do not let the water hurt innocent lives. We are responsible for the sake of civilans!" The workers sped up, their hands a blur then-
"STOP!"
The emperor turned around to see a simply dressed young man with his hair tied up in a pony tail. He looked like a common villager except he oozed confidence and power.
"Who, who are-" as the old man stuttered, the young Chinese stepped forward and shouted orders,
"Don't make that wall aru! The water's just going to tear it down! Everyone dig some canals on the ground. That way the river will flow into the canal and not hurt any one aru."
He picked up a spade and started digging along with the other 13,000 workers at his side. They hesitated, then started digging along with him. After hours working on the riverside. the walls started to slowly at first, but then vehemently shaking with numerous leaks.
"It's coming!" A worker yelled seconds everyone started to leave the wall collapsed, bringing tons of water crashing down on the surface. Then the furious rush seperated as the canals divided them. The crisis was averted, and there were no sever injuries on the workers' behalf. The young stranger then made his way to the thoroughly bemused emperor.
"It is nice to meet you aru. I am called Yao Wang. You are emperor Gun, correct?"
'Yao Wang? He looks familiar...' " Just who.. who are you?"
The man laid a hand on the ruler's shoulder. " I am just a simple Chinese man aru. You and I will meet again to... discuss some issues later I hope. After all one's leader must always see that their land consents to his or her requests."
The old ruler nodded as his body was filled with warmth which seemed to be flowing out of the hand on his shoulder. His head seemed to be filling up with nostalgic memories, the vast plains of the land where he have grown up, along with the other beautiful sceneries of China, and a memory of someone... who was very dear to him... "I understand..."
"Rest aru. You have grown so much since we last met. We will surely meet again." The man stood up and started to walk away.
"Wait!" The old leader shouted desperately."Father...?"
The young man stiffened, then turned around. "It is good to see my son is governing so well aru."
"Father... but you have passed away! Now you are younger than me! What happened to you?"
The man sighed pensively."It is a long story. One that I wish not to go deeply now... maybe later I will tell you aru."
"Father, now you can take my place as the emperor! You can all the riches or titles you want-"
The young man laughed, a jovial yet understanding sound." I will not be emperor again my son. You are now the rightful emperor. I do not need any riches nor titles aru. Because this place, " At this he stretched his arms wide "is enough for my riches. As for titles...you can call me... China."
End of chapter 1
Hoo, boy this thing is over I can get some rest. I'll go over the historical facts now.
1. The Xia Dynasty is when the tribes called the Xia tribe and the Chi You tribe united with each other and formed the Xia Dynasty.
2. Gun was a worker who took action for the flood. He thought up with the idea of walls but he failed because of the river flood got stronger. Poor him, he failed when he worked to stop it for NINE YEARS! So his son took the place after he got executed. I'm sorry for not putting it right but when I noticed my mistake, I was almost done, so I just left it at that.
3. Yu is called Yu the Great and he managed to stop the flood. He thought up the idea with the canals and it did this by working THIRTEEN YEARS STRAIGHT!God tenacity must run in the family or something. And I put the reference of 13 years in the reading somewhere. It's not that hard to find.
4. OMG PLOT ! There is a record of an emperor named Yao, who have ruled for a hundred years then gave his throne to his son, Shun. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! HETALIA IS IN THE REAL WORLD ALL FANS CAN NOW SQUEAL IN JOY THAT THEIR FAV CHARACTERS ARE REAL PAIRINGS WILL BE SHIPPED LIKE HELL!XDXDXD
So this was not much, No humor, geez. Next I promise it's going to be MUCH better. Mainly due to one little hyperactive guy... Yeah you know who it is already.
Anyway see you guys later! Please Rate!
Also, for the ones seeing the crappy first version I am really sorry for that. I don't think I'll be doing that from now on. Later!
