Author's Note

Hi, this is my first time posting . I hope that the story is to your liking. I have decided to use French and German in the story so translations will be at the bottom of each chapter. My french is accurate because I'm native from Paris and if my German isn't it's because it came from Google Translate :) Let me know what you think, I love reviews and suggestions for this or future fics. Also tell me if you want me to include other pairings ! Thank you for the reviews I love them !

Enjoy,

Ps. I know it's a lot about Maya right now but the next chapter is all Pru/Can I promise ! Also only a few more chapters then I'm wrapping this story up. Might post a Spamano one shot soon too. Any requests are also welcome.


Chapter 28 - Overseer

Ivan was breathing hard, Maya had just hung up on him. When she had told him about being the overseer he had been broken inside. Like a mirror being shattered into tiny pieces no bigger than grains of sand. 'Not her' Ivan was breaking down internally. If Maya became the overseer she might die, or worse me killed. Ivan paced in his room, his mind racing. Toban Demetrikhov was the mad man that had caused every nation to distrust each other and Prussia's downfall. But causing all this what was not his real real goal was much worse. He wanted to destroy the overseer of that time, or the legend of the overseer. The last overseer the nations had had was an extremely long time ago, and, Toban's ancestor had destroyed him, almost bringing the world it's knees. So, when Toban heard it was possible for another overseer to exist he tried and almost succeeded in making every nation turn against each other and perish. Ivan did not want this to happen to Maya. Vincent Myler was dead, and there was no threat, but no one could ever be too sure that another one like Toban or Vincent would not arise again. Ivan stopped pacing. He had to stop this before it was too late. He did not want Maya to be six feet under.


Matthew and Gilbert had just told Maya the story of the previous overseer and of Toban's true intentions. Maya sat in silence, her face void of any emotion. Gilbert watched her, she was thinking, analyzing every possible position and outcome. Like a military general. Over the years she had learned so many things and she was good at many things, one of which was strategies. She moved her pieces across the board like a tigress.

"I understand what you have told me,but, if I become the overseer I will have the opportunity to change things for the better. Create unity." Maya said. Gilbert acknowledged that she had reached her verdict and that because she took after him, she would not change her mind. From his place next to Matthew, Gilbert felt his lover squeeze his hands. He knew this was difficult on Matthew. In a way they were letting go of their daughter.

"I promise you that I will succeed." Maya said firmly.

"You will." Gilbert said then looked at Matthew who nodded, "We both support you."

A smile lit up Maya's face. She stood and stated in a very professional manner,

"I hope to be of service in uniting all the nations."

Matthew and Gilbert the told her about her inauguration, which would take place during the next world meeting. That night when Matthew and Gilbert went to bed in Francis's guest room Gilbert had placed a new found hope in his daughter.


Maya couldn't sleep that night, she was too excited, and a little troubled too. She hadn't really meant to hang up on Ivan, it had just happened. She didn't want him to shelter her forever even though when she had trained with him in the past he had said he wouldn't. Maya slipped out of bed, she was wearing a black tank top and a pair of small sports shorts. It was very hot right now, even if it was only May. She went downstairs as quietly as she could and slipped out the front door going to sit on the steps. She looked around her making out the trees that surrounded Francis's home in the full moon. Then she heard something. Footsteps. She steeled herself, you could never be unprepared. Then standing in the moonlight in front of her was Ivan. His ash colored hair lifting slightly in the night breeze, lavender eyes sparkling.

"Maya." he said.

"Ivan, what, what are you doing here ?" May was very surprised. She had not expected him. Not at all, but he was not unwelcome either.

"Maya, listen to me." Ivan took a step closer to her, putting his hands on her shoulders like he always did when something was important. "You cannot become the overseer."

Maya was again surprised, she had expected another phone call, but not an entire trip for this matter. "She took her time, choosing her words carefully.

"I have looked into all the possible outcomes. It is true that there are some that are not optimistic and are dangerous. But the positive greatly outweighs the negative. I can accomplish a lot of good doing this Ivan." Maya was firm with her words, looking Ivan in the eyes to show him she was serious.

"I know, you can do amazing things, you are perfect for this role." Ivan said.

Maya's spirits lifted, he agreed with her. She did hate it when they disagreed.

"But I don't want to see you dead Maya. I couldn't." Ivan continued.

Maya was amazed at how much he cared.

"I'm willing to take the risk Ivan. I want to." Maya tried to keep her cool. It was very difficult at the moment. "I need to take a risk." Maya continued, "I want to belong somewhere." she finished her bottom lip trembling as tears now threatened to spill over. They did. Ivan took her head is his hands and wiped away her tears with gentle fingers.

"Shh, don't cry Maya. Ты разбил мое сердце, если вы делаете." he said softly. Maya just hugged him. They stood there, the moon hanging like an opal in the sky.

"I understand." Ivan said in the silence. "You will become the overseer of the nations."

Maya thanked him from the bottom of her heart. This was not easy for him, and it was not for her either. A soft melancholy swept over both of them as they stood bathed in the moonlight and it rocked them to sleep, slowly washing away into white.


Ivan surprisingly was calm. Today, during the world meeting, Maya would become the overseer of all the nations of the world. Sitting next to him was Matthew who looked distressed. Gilbert who sat beside Matthew was attempting to calm the small blonde man. Ivan just watched them. He had spoken to them about Maya's choice, saying he supported it. The pair had the same feelings about it, but it was obviously difficult either way, Ivan could tell. Maya sat at the end of the very long table, and on the other end Germany called the conference to order.

" Today, as you all know, we will be accepting our new overseer Maya Renata Beilshmidt Williams." the German man said and all eyes turned to Maya, her deep emerald eyes glowing brightly. "She, the child of Prussia and Canada by birth, will be the one who unites the nations a the previous overseer have done." Ludwig continued. Ivan was surprised at the use of Gilbert's title. Prussia. It had been a very long time since anyone had called him that, even Ludwig hadn't. Maya now stood to speak.

" I was told once that to be part of something is one of the greatest gifts of life. I am apart of my family. Now I will be apart of an even greater family: the nations. My name, one who holds all the gods creative power and shares them with the nations of the land, I wish to hold true to. I want to unite us all, even more so than before. Boundaries only separate us, so I will be the bridge in between these boundaries in hopes that, one day, we can achieve being part of the world all together." Maya spoke with confidence. She stood regal, dressed in white, like a queen. All the countries then accepted her as their overseers. Then the conference was over and Maya was approached by many, each giving congratulations and invitations as a loved friend and as the overseer. After this Maya left with Matthew and Gilbert, and as she stood in the door as the sunlight streamed in from the street, she smiled the smile of angel for Ivan then turned, white blonde locks catching the sun, and stepped into the world as the overseer of the nations.
