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.
