ASEAN characters are mine, but mostly based on dinosaurusgede's Maaf. The awesome universe of Hetalia and the characters belongs to Himaruya Hidekaz~!


The Fall of the Malay Archipelago

A long time ago, there was a world where a nation is a personified as a human

Of course plenty of them were born, but most perished because of war and many other things

Those who survived grew up to become adults, and they reign over the world

Some of them became empires so strong, they terrorised other little nations

The empires are attracted to a place in a world where a family of little nations live together

The little nations are very close to each other, they lead very peaceful lives as well

But, with the arrival of the empires, everything changed

One was invaded, one was burnt, one was taken away, one was conquered, and finally, the eldest

one was colonized

The infamous empires are Portugal, Spain, Holland and Britain


Once upon a time in a cluster of islands, there was a girl and a boy

The boy was born first, so he is the brother of the girl

The girl was born not long after he did, so they grew up together, protecting each other

Soon it became obvious to them that they weren't the only ones among the islands

They met the eldest one, a kind and loving sister

The caring and happy older brother

The sweet and cheerful sister

They were happy; they are now a big family

The elder sister has many resources, so she is very important to the world

The older brother forms a strong bond with the cheerful sister, always together

Each of them has names of their own, given by humans who founded and lived on their lands

Big sister is Spice Islands (Nusantara); big brother is Brunei, sweet sister is Tawalisi (Philippines)

The girl was given the name "Malacca", after a tree where her founder had rested upon

The boy was given the name "Temasek", named for the his renowned city surrounded by the sea

Malacca is a very important port for the world; many strong nations visit her to buy her elder

sister's spices

Temasek used to be important, but now he helps Malacca by protecting her

All of the little nations are close with big brother India and China

The lovable big brother India and the resourceful big brother China

Their only protector from the Europeans, crumbled slowly before their eyes

One day, Portugal came to visit Malacca

Malacca received him well, but her Sultan does not like the empire

It led to a bloody battle for 40 days, ending with the loss of Malacca

Malaya, then Malacca was scared, she ran away to Johor, where her Sultan founded another

sultanate

Temasek was burnt by Portugal, but he was there to protect Malaya

Then, Tawalisi was taken by Spain, Brunei was devastated

He tried to take her back together with Nusantara (Spice Islands)

Alas, Spain was too strong, he defeated them effortlessly

One by one, the little nations fell

Until only one remain standing, Spice Islands

She sought the help of Holland to rescue her sisters

In return, Holland took control of her spice trade

Little did she know that her life will be changed forever…
