Welcome to Within Darkness! Because of the recent weather, my exam was pushed back to Monday, January 28th. I am also writing this like it was in the Heroes of Olympus series, the character's names as the 'camera' is focusing on. However, there is a twist and that is: I am not writing it stereotypically and at the same time, like it was in canon. I hate it when people write characters as cowards, liars, or just plain dumb. In a sense, I am also paying homage to a great writer who hasn't posted anything in a while, and that writer is Five Tailed Demon Dog. In a way, their writing inspired me to write Canako as she is-a busty, cute girl who is incredibly peaceful and (occasionally) unfair or pissed. Thank you.
Pairings (in alphabetical order):
Ameriko X Belarus
Belgium X Seychelles
Canako X Ukraine
Chapter 1: Madeleine
Madeleine knew she was Dark. Oh yes, she'd known Dark people in the day. They'd been killed off, yes, but she had to survive on her own for years under the 'helpful' guidance of the 'grand' British Empire. She'd rallied her little sister's, Amelia, people to rise up against the oppression. She'd attempted (and failed) to rally her people to rise up as well. She knew America didn't hate her for it, nor that Arthur, the man who apparently couldn't even see her damn twin, cared for her at all, didn't care for them.
Thankfully, Alice had been there for her and Matthew. Alice had taught her to be the way she was, and had silently entered the Canadian female into an alliance with the Russian Empire. The Russian ambassador, one Ivan Cherneko (secretly Katyusha Cherneko), had spoken to her just after the meeting had ended. They'd spent the night together within the same room, and Madeleine had been terrified beyond belief that the ambassador would recognize her for the just barely beginning size of her chest, which Madeleine hated with a passion.
When she'd woken up far earlier the next morning, she'd noticed two very distinct mounds on the ambassador's thankfully covered chest. It was centuries later that she discovered the same person was Katyusha Cherneko, currently her girlfriend and a close confidant of hers, alongside Amelia and Natalya.
"Zhis meeting vill now come to order." Germany said, and Madeleine mentally smirked as the room, as usual, descended into chaos. Amid the shouting from England and France, she saw Amelia, who nodded to her once, and she slipped away into the rather large vents. After a minute or two, the American female also slipped into the vents.
"Children, the lot of them," Canada whispered, and America stifled a chuckle.
"Where are we going big sis?" She asked.
Madeleine replied, "Down two floors. Ukraine and Belarus will be waiting for us in the women's washroom. Unlike previous times, they believe they know who to properly corrupt this time." Making sure to keep her footsteps quiet, she began to crouch walk towards the furthest vent cover, thankfully on the other side of the building, not that far from the meeting room. As they slinked through the ventilation shafts, she got lightly startled by America's question.
"Who do they think we can Darken this time?" Her little sister asked.
"I don't know, but here's the access panel," Madeleine replied, "now we sneak down the stairs and after that, into another vent towards the opposite side." Behind her, Amelia suddenly sighed.
"Sis, I can see the underside of your bust. I swear, this is why you should wear a longer skirt." The female American said. Madeleine blushed deeply, a red hue covering her cheeks.
"This is the only size skirt I have!" She hissed. A moment later, after making sure the hallway was devoid of any people, technicians, or politicians, she stood up fully, stepping out into the desolate hallway, her violet eyes scanning for the service stairwell. As Amelia stepped out beside her, Canada spotted the service stairwell, walking towards it after slipping shoes on. The female nation opened the door and motioned for America to take the lead. Down below her, the floor glittered despite the service stairs having not been used for a few months.
"Sis, you're sure it's two floors down?" Amelia asked, bringing Madeleine out of her thoughts.
"Yeah." The Canadian female murmured. The other female motioned for her to look out of the fairly small window of the door, and Madeleine cursed.
"What sis?" Amelia asked, concerned.
"We've gone three floors down. Hurry back up the stairs, but quietly." Madeleine whispered. Without another word, they left, only the slight disturbances in the dust on the stairs were the only signs they'd been there. As they hurried up the stairs, America finally took the correct door, and they exited into the equally desolate hallway. As they continued down the hallway, they were suddenly grabbed and pulled into a washroom.
"Babe!" Amelia cried out, kissing Belarus deeply. Madeleine chuckled softly.
"Who do you think we've got to Darken?" She asked the Ukrainian woman.
"Belgium and Seychelles. After that, we'll focus on laying low for a bit, don't want to world to be ready when we engage in battle with them." Ukraine said, smiling. Madeleine gently kissed her girlfriend, rubbing her soft hand along the female Ukrainian's back.
"Those two are definitely going to be helpful to us once the war's begun. Before, during, and after. The world needs a reformation, and those who oppose us shall be annihilated!" Canada declared softly, leaning into the soft, almost caressing embrace of the Ukrainian female.
"Mmm." Ukraine agreed, stroking Madeleine's back. They kissed a little bit more, then left for the Canadian female's home.
First chapter is done! Basically in this story, while the historical World Wars did happen, it's what happened after WW2 that really changed the world. In this story, Ukraine broke free from the Soviet Union's control during World War 2, peacefully. But the Soviets became enraged and invaded the independent country. Once that happened, the Dominion of Canada began sending soldiers to fight in Ukraine. Belarus also broke free in a bloody revolution, and the USA sent soldiers over. After defeating the Soviets, they discovered Soviet installations, used for interrogating captured soldiers and key figures. This was enough for the Western Allies, and they put sanctions on the Soviet Union, forbidding them from invading a country unless they were at war, or even simply moving troops through towards another country unless they had permission or they were at war.
