The year was 874. Vikings from Norway, Sweden and Denmark explored from Europe to North America. Said countries themselves used this era to discover new land. Norway being the fiercest of them all.

But...that did not make him a cold hearted person.

So when he found a child in the middle of the new snowy land. He was shocked.

This was a new land wasn't it? No one has been here before...right?

Norway stared at the boy and the boy stared back.

"What...What are you?" he asked as though the boy was a demon of some sort. How could there just be a random child in an undiscovered territory?

"...I dunno." he replied, unsure if he should answer the man in front of him.

"Well...do you know anyone?" he asked another question, determined to figure out who this boy was.

"I dunno." the boy repeated himself

'Damn it.' Norway cursed in his head, but not showing the frustration show on his face.

"Tsk...If you stay around somewhere like this, you're going to perish." The boy continued to stare at

"You must know your name, right?" he pressed on, wanting answers.

"...I dunno." he said for a third time.

Norway sighed, picking up the boy, causing him to shake a little in fear.

"You don't even know your own name, well then...Ísland." he said to him, causing him to stop shaking, only to tilt his head at the name.

"'Cause you're all chilly, like ice. So from now on, you're Ísland." he told him again, giving him a small smile.

"Ís...land?" the boy, no,Ísland , said trying out his new name.

"Ísland!" he said again, smiling wide at the sound of his new name.

Norway nodded to him, before pointing at himself "Jeg heter Norge." he stated, telling Ísland who he was.

"Norge?"

Norway nodded again, setting him down and placing a hand on his head "You can call me brother."

"Brother..."

He nodded, giving him another silent reply.

Ísland grabbed onto Norway's coat

"Brother! Brother!" he chanted, smiling up at Norway, causing the elder to smile back.

Norway took his new brothers hand and started walking back to his camp.

Ísland smiled all the way, a little skip to his step.

Norway knew what he was now.

He was a new nation.

And also...

...his brother.

A/N: This is just something random I wrote up in class, based on the after part of a IceNor doujinshi, so I don't own the storyline, just thought it was cute. OuO
