America opened his eyes to find that he was indeed floating in midair. "Whoa, look! I'm flying." America excitedly screamed, childishly reveling at this new discovery. The White Queen was amused at his outburst, and smiled up at him. "Let's take a walk, Knight.

"Can't you fly, too?" America asked, confused.

"You assume too much. Only the Heroes can fly." She responded, still amused.

"Oh, well sorry then. I guess we can take a walk." America said, worried he had offended her.

"Alright the, let's walk." And with that, she strode off regally, the strange aliens making a path for her as she went. America, realizing he was still 10 feet off the ground and basically having a shouting match with her, quickly hurried after her. He was nervous he would get lost, even though his tower stood like a shining beacon among the other smaller buildings. He caught up, and after a while they fell into an even pace, walking side-by-side with her throughout the golden city.

"So, Knight, do you have a name?" She asked at last.

"Yeah, you can call me America, or Alfred I guess." He responded, feeling that it was safe to give his real name to this strange alien queen.

"America. I like it." They walked on a bit further in silence, until she cleared her throat and began her speech.

"This planet is called Prospit. We are currently on its moon. You and the other heroes live here in the towers and have been asleep for many years until now. You were the first to wake up." Her face grew grim now. "Our people, the Prospitians have been at near war with Derse, a purple planet beyond Skaia over ther, for many years now. While we are the light, they are the dark. The war is still at a stalemate, but I believe conflict may erupt soon. For years we have told legends about the six Heroes in the towers. I believe you may be my people's only hope to be saved from oblivion."

"And I'm one of those Heroes! Awesome!" America shouted, cheerful as ever and excited at the prospect of being a hero, even to another species.

"Yes, you are one of the Heroes." She was amused again. "The others are the Seer, the Bard, the Sylph, the Rouge, and the Page. As I have said before, they are asleep in the other towers, but please don't try to wake them. They will do that in their own time."

"Ok cool," America said. "Will do. I wonder if they're the other countries." He mused.

"I'm guessing they will most likely be people you know. Don't worry." The Queen responded, even though it had been rhetorical.

"Do you have any other questions?" She asked.

"Um, no, not really"

"Then I am done with you for now. You may return to your tower, or explore if you wish."

"Oh cool. It was nice meeting you!" He waved and turned around, but before he could move, he crashed into something. He looked down and saw it was one of the aliens inhabiting this planet. This one was different however. While the others had been white, this one was the only black one he had seen since waking up.

"Ah, Expatriate, there you are," The Queen said from behind him. "This Is the Knight, America." The small alien waved up at him. He was several feet shorter than America.

"Expatriate?" America asked.

"Yes, that is his nickname. He is a Dersite, originally from Derse, but he grew tired of the Black Queen's rule, and fled here, exiled from his homeland."

"Oh," America responded, surprised at this tiny fellow. The idea of expatriates was a bit weird to him, seeing as he was extremely patriotic himself. "Um, hi there!" America said, becoming cheerful like always. The Expatriate smiled at his recognition from a figure of legend.

"Nice to meet both of you!" America said waving and turning to leave again. He made his back to his tower easily. 'Flying makes everything better' America thought, as he flew up to the window and climbed in. He sat on the windowsill, deciding what to do before he decided he was strangely tired, and climbed into his now golden bed. He let his eyes close as he drifted off to sleep.
