Here is another chapter. It's more related to the first chapter than the second one. Please enjoy!
My Name
Well, names
As I do have several
England
Britain
Albion
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The last one's a bit of a douzie
And then my human name
Arthur Kirkland
Can you believe America made a brand name out of it?
Apparently it makes batteries.
Most nations only ever have one human name
Nation names change so often
might as well keep the human ones simple
I chose the greatest name I could
The Once and Future King
Even if it is Welsh
Names are rather important
They identify you as yourself
Everyone can recognize by your name
They also have great meanings
and great control
But I once went by another human name
It is just as famous
Robin of Locksley
I took that name to go on the crusades
As King Richard had forbade me
But I had been determined to fight
With my men.
It gave me release
from my duties, my bond, my land, my title
my identity
as so few knew who I truly was
I had wished I hadn't gone immediately after the fact.
As you may know,
It had ended badly.
And I took my chance to return to my land
To check on King John.
I did not like what I saw.
Too taxing
I could feel the strain on my bones.
So I decided to
Redistribute
The wealth.
I became a thief.
I guess that's what set me on the road to piracy.
Somehow, as a thief,
I made a false name
Into a legend
It wasn't even until I had returned to court
And to Arthur
That I even began to hear the stories.
I was made into someone else, almost
There were new characters
And I was made older
I was barely into my teens at that time.
Robin Hood was a hero
Favored over the King
Someone my fealty was sworn wholly to
To whom I should give my full loyalty to
And my people should follow my lead
But I didn't care
Robin Hood was for the people
I was for the people
I was the people
But do I stand with my King as Country
Or with the people that make me?
France once told me that
It takes a hero
To raise one.
Take this chapter as you will, as I do play around with history, lore, American brands, and Hetalia. Any comments are accepted, and reviews appreciated! I'm not sure if I'm going to make another of these or not, but I could be persuaded to if anyone really wanted it.
