On the battlefield, Prussia mused, he seemed a lot more substantial. They had both been on the frontlines and as such saw each other right away. He shot her a smirk and she returned with one of her own. As they clashed and the rest of the battle moved around them, it became apparent to Prussia that the young man was a personified country just as she was.

"So," she drawled slowly as they duelled, "Who're you?"

Visibly flinching at her words the young man seemed to reply but Prussia didn't hear a single sound. Even when he flinched, he kept up a complete defence not allowing Prussia to hit him at all.

"Quiet one aren't you?" she jeered hoping but not really expecting he would slip up. Again his mouth moved but she didn't hear a thing over the battle going on around them. It wasn't even possible to read his lips because their fight prevented her from being able to study his face. What she did see though she found, well, intriguing.

The young man had no real similarities to France other than his hair and even that was a darker honey colour. Prussia also noted he possessed the cold violet eyes characteristic usually of northern nations. Rather pretty eyes, she mused, not as awesome as my ruby red ones but unique in their own way.

While they fought, he had such a look of determination on his face that Prussia had to wonder what it was he was fighting for. Snapping from her musings Prussia realised that they had lost ground. The shock from this revelation gave the blond the upper hand against his albino opponent. The blond pinned Prussia on the ground. Prussia knew when it was a good time to make a tactical retreat. Now was that time. Her left arm was still free and she took advantage of this and threw some dirt into the young man's face. Scrambling back her and her men made their escape.

When the blond got the dust out of his eyes he once again found himself watching her retreating figure and Prussia found herself wondering who this kid was. Who was he that he gained the upper hand over her? Her, the awesome Prussia! Prussia decided that she would have to interrogate her brother about this mystery country she seemed to know nothing about.


*~* A/N: So. NO HISTORICAL ACURACY. Don't even pretend it's there. I have done zero research and I'm pretty much making things up as I go. Pretty much, there is reference to a real war but other than that, this could be like an AU. *~*
