Aurelian/Guatemala's pov
"wake up Aurelian" I hear Jenni's voice telling me as I try to sleep some more. In the end I open my eyes and sat up to yawn before getting out of my seat. I pull out my pistol then unload the clip to check how bullet I have before sliding it back in. I also pull out my skinning knife and played with it for a moment. I enjoy spinning it around like Riddick did in the second movie.
"can you stop that! It freaking me out that you can do that and smile like that" Jenni tells me. I turn to see her looking at me, I shrug before putting it away then asking how long was I a sleep.
" two hours and you still talk in your sleep" Belgium say and Ireland agrees with her saying I was talking in Mayan and in a dialect that Jenna couldn't understand. " I was dreaming of the first man I killed" I said.
" I don't think I want to know that" Jenni said but I ignored her. " let see I was maybe physical nine but I still remember when my dad had me chop off one of his enemy's head with a stone axe for some sacrifice ritual I thing but that doesn't matter. Took me three swings but I got the head off and dad let me wave it around on a stick" I said.
" you know Aurelian there are times like this I am happy we never had kids because I don't want crazy little boys or girls running around killing people." Philippines say to me and I roll my eyes. " we never had kids because you are barren as a rock" I replied to her. Philippines now look at me with a hurt look on her face and told me I am a jerk before crying on Hungary's shoulder.
Jenni immediately tells me to say sorry or she will hit me with Hungary's skillet. " why should I its true" I told Jenni for some reason. Jenni gave me this look of pure shock because she then hit me three hits with the skillet while calling me a asshole. I took all three blows and shook them off, it was funny to see Jenni's face and the skillet was now blend. But before I could say a thing I felt a pain though my body, my body shook as large cuts start forming on my arms and stomach.
Jenni immediately asked me if what is wrong and it took all my willpower not to shout at her or even scream in pain. Instead I turn to Philippines, tell her I am sorry and its really my fault we never had kids since I spiked her drinks with moon tea every month because I was scare of being a father. Then pull up my shirt to see a large cut on my right side with a lot of blood leaking out.
South Africa shouted at Marshall and Nauru to get the first kit as he try to dress the cuts on my arms with field bandages. Before working on the cut on my side and more shots of pain ran though my body as he is doing this.
Suddenly Jenni screams in pain and is holding a her left side as her blood darkens her shirt. Bella and Ukraine are always to her aid as cuts form on her arms as me and she starts to cough up blood.
The pain grows more unbearable as my vision going dark slowly, at this point I try to call Jenni's name but just cough up blood like her. Next thing I know I am on the floor with everyone shouting and I just pass out.
Five hours later
I open my eyes to see a very worry Armenia placing a wet cloth on my forehead. " hey everyone Aurelian is awake now" she shouts and I hear footsteps. " dude you gave us a scare" Marshall say and I asked what happen.
"There were five major bombings in three of your cities. Three were in Guatemala city, one in Mixco and the last one in Villa Nueva. From what we got from the new sites we check the death toll stands at 100 dead and 300 or more wounded in the attacks." South Africa say to me as I sit up and notice my shirt is missing plus I been bandaged tightly.
The cuts on my arms are half healed and I fell weak. Ukraine pass me a cup of water to drink as Marshall explain that Jenni who is like me on a cot but still out and her wounds were more serious since she is a Capital city personification. Ireland chips in by saying Jenni's wounds have been treated and she should be ok since the three bombs were on the same street and not spread out between the city.
The next hour is spend by as everyone is being helpful in anyway, found out I been out for three hours and finally Jenni awoke but was in pain.
" Don't worry Jenni it will pass, I know since the explosions were in the same area so your mostly going to feel the worst pain there which is your stomach since they bomb the central of the capital." I told my capital city as she holds her stomach in pain.
With a pale looking face she curses the ones who did this and ask if I will catch the people behind this. "I promise Jenni I will hunt down the ones who hurt us and our people." I tell her and got a weak smile from her.
I had someone pass me my phone and I call the boss to see how bad the bombing was. He told me the death count is a lot higher than thought and local hospitals are being overwhelm with treating the wounded. I also learned they attack during a Mayan festival which made me even madder, after finishing talking with the president I then made a other call.
" hey I need some your help." I said when he answered the phone. " what you need buddy" Sonora say to me in a playful tone. " I guessing you and Chihuahua heard about the bombing today well I need you two to help track down the ones who did it. I get you papers and IDs from my people and some money to help in your search." I said, " hey wait a minute I got to ask if she wants to do this… ok she is up for it but only if we can hang out after the UN meeting in a month but you got to talk like you did during your classical era ok. We also want to hear your noble accent and have you act like you used to back then alright" he say to me which I agreed though I didn't.
With my phone I sent a email to the head of my secret special service unit who will get them what they need. Then I poke Jenni for a bit which made her try to bite my index finger. " don't be like that sunshine" I say to her and she sticks out her tongue at me.
" ok now your just being childish Jenni" I say to her and she gave me her tough face despite being in pain " your so cute when you give that face" I said and ask South Africa if Mongolia can get us to my nation faster.
Mongolia comes from the cockpit saying yeah he could if we don't land and refuel in the air over Panama. I told him I call a plane and to get back in the cockpit before we crash. " don't worry man I got this baby in autopilot so its okay" he said and suddenly the plane lean to the left hard.
" get back to flying this plane Mongolia before we all die and when we all come back I going to kill you with my skillet" Hungary scream as she kept Jenni from falling off her cot.
With out being told twice he rush back in the cockpit and got the plane stable again. " never let him fly again" Jenni tells me after this. I don't say anything and had Marshall pass me my laptop to check reports on the situation of the war. Not much change I see since the Colombia capital is still under siege, my forces had clash with Ecuadorian soldiers in a few skirmishes, Cuba's submarine is causing more trouble in the Caribbean with three more foxtrot subs that he had also stored away going to be soon in the sea, Venezuela's soldiers are doing great though his government is fucking up their economy even more than usual I going to have a talk with him about opening up his economy some more, also my sister plus her boyfriend's armed forces are going to be attacking Chile soon and I working on recruiting Suriname and Guyana to our side.
But I not sure if those two want to join in or stay neutral. Suriname doesn't like me much due to my past actions to Netherland since he is to her a brother and former colonial ruler. Same with Guyana but she hates me for hurting her dear big brother England at the battle of Waterloo. Then I went over a list of who I have enlisted in my company I got Mongolia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Oman, Marshall islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Lesotho, Comoros and finally Swaziland.
I should put more ads for recruits because I still more men if I want a semi decent amount of soldiers in my mercenary company. " hey I got a name for the company" I say to the guys who all want to hear the name I come up with.
"War Serpents" I say to them and South Africa say isn't that my old Mayan name. I told him its Waxaklahun Uban Kan or just Waxaklahun or to a few friends Waxa. " it mean the War Serpent, as you can imagine my father gave me that name" I explain to them the origins of my name.
" you know I going to call you Wax now Aurelian" Philippines say to me in a teasing tone. " do that and I will throw you out of this plane naked and tie up" I said to my ex wife who gets mad and lightly smacked me on the side of the head.
I ignore this and take a nap until the plane lands. When we do landed I am well enough to walk again but Jenni is still badly hurt and required me to carry her into a waiting bus. South Africa wanted to drive but I stop him by saying I am the only one who can drive us to my ranch unless you of course are one of the workers.
I drove the bus that I got to the private airfield though the country side until I enter the jungles on a well kept road then though six checkpoints all with very well armed Mayan guards and also pass a road with dead bodies hanging from trees on the side of the road.
" those are likely poachers, drug dealers, smugglers or people who didn't listen to the warning signs on what happens to trespassers." I said when I notice the others looking at them. Finally we came to the last checkpoint with three Sherman tanks aiming at the road and fifty Mayan troops manning it.
After showing my card they greeted me with happily with much respect. I parked the bus and we all got off to continue on foot" wow " Armenia say when we got into a hill and they saw the small valley fill with fences and the large mansion in the middle.
I had the guys grabs some deer carcasses hanging in a shed on the dirt trail that runs in the valley. Oman asked why are carrying dead bodies and I told him its for the animals. Jenni ask what type of animals do I have here and just as I am going to answer her. I hear something running, I smiled when I see one of my African wild dogs coming out of a forest that the trail runs though. He had his tongue out and his cute outsized ears up, he looks over the group until he spots me and ran up to me.
I recognize him and call out his name " Alexander" and he goes crazy. And while greeting me starts calling the rest of his pack who descend on us and start begging for the deer meat or licking me. Alexander got the deer carcass off me and drags it away before him and four others tear into it.
The guys toss the few deer carcasses they carry and the dogs tear into them too. The woman all got together in a group looking scare and I can't blame them. The dogs were ripping the carcasses apart and fighting each other for the best parts. Alexander comes up to me again and pet him while scratching his ears. Then I lift him up and walk up to Jenni " want to pet him" I said as I hold the heavy dog up to Jenni.
" no!" she said and I gave her a do it look. Jenni gave Alexander a quick pat on the head and let him down to sniff at her. The rest of the pack are soon finish and start sniffing the guys and girls, who are looking more scare especially Hungary who is hugging Philippines while holding her fry pan. " they aren't going to eat you" I said to them before playing with them a bit and telling them to ran off which they did except for Alexander who stays.
Afterwards we continue on our way with Alexander tagging along. Armenia is the first to scratch his ears and Ukraine gives him a belly rub plus saying his fur is so soft and beautiful.
Jenni asked where I got them and I tell her on during one of my trips to Africa in the 20s I came across of some and decide to bring some home. I also mention they won't attack humans unless ordered or are a threat to them or get too close the dens where the puppies are.
" so beautiful" Jenni tells me when she saw the different species of tigers, wolves, birds, lions, lizards and prey animals some of the Carnivores eat. Ireland spots a thylacine napping on a rock and said that is suppose to be extinct. I explain I rescue some in 1907 when I visit Tasmania with Jenni for a short vacation. And Belgium spotted a pack of much larger then usual wolves and ask what breed are they since she couldn't recognize them and she has a thing for wolves.
Try to avoid the question but she didn't give up until I told her the true. " they are Dire Wolves Bella" I said and watch her eyes widen and then look back at the pack. " that can't be those are extinct" she said in awe and I told her I found them in a very isolated part of north America. I also mention the American lions I also found too plus the suppose extinct species like the Passenger pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, Heath Hen, Newfoundland wolf, Yukon horses I found in a very isolate part of Canada, Camelops a type of camel I found back 1800 on a west coast island off America was a pain moving but while it I guess and some other species that survive by being in an very isolate pocket of turf.
After letting Bella pet one of the wolves who I named Ghost back in 2012, Jenni ask if I named him Ghost because he is white and after the one from Game of thrones. I didn't answer her and played with Ghost for a while, he tackled me when he saw me on the ground and licked my face. Then we get in the mansion and the guys hit the living room first and watch some TV.
Alexander rejoins his pack after a quick treat and Ghost takes a nap in the kitchen. After I gave the wolf a tasty chicken and then I show the guests where the females will stay to the girls. Then enter my own sleeping quarter to relax and watch some TV but Jenni enter my chamber to ask if she can stay in here with me. This surprise me but since we are both still weak from what happen I said yes to my capital.
She brings her stuff into the room and gets in bed with me. Jenni yawns and cover herself with the blanket for a nap. I couldn't help but snap a photo on my phone since she looks so cute napping. After watching some Happy days I take nap and also decide to show the girls around the valley tomorrow.
Sorry it took so long people and next be soon I guess. Review or ideas are welcome. Well until next time folks !
