I sat with the kid that night. He was full of boundless energy as always. Wanting to play games. Hear stories. Explore. Things I was hardly ever up to, but I did my best to join in and take him wherever he wanted to go. Give him whatever he needed, wanted. I raised him rather unlike myself. I didn't want him to be alone as I was. So I taught him to swallow his pride. To stand up for those he cared for. Not give in to anger. To treat others with respect. And thus he was a rather respectful and people just loved him. I loved him. My son.
Japan and Greece sat in front of a rather surprised Egypt. Never touching the drinks that they were offered they told their story. Calmly. Concerned. Looking for direction. Egypt listened without interruption. The pleasant confusion as to why they were here melted away in the heat. The even expression never leaving his features, but the calm in his eyes darkened considerably as the story went on. The Egyptian slowly set the glass down.
"So… he has a rebellion. And he plans to keep it. Is that what you're telling me?"
"Yes."
Egypt drew in a long breath and let it out slowly. Looking the two over he took a moment.
"Then we have a choice to make. Tell me. How long has it been around? For how long has he been growing it?"
"We are not certain. However it appears that to have been for some time now. He is rather weak."
"He'll die any day now with how things are going." Greece put in.
"I see… What will you do then?"
"What will we do? We came here for your help."
"As I see it there are only two ways this is going to go. Either he is going to die and the rebellion will take his place as the new Turkey, new Government, new customs with the old, new working systems, new everything. The second option is to kill it while it is premature. While we still can. It is still a child, yes?"
"That is correct."
"Then there's still time. The choice needs to be made now. You need to decide whether or not you can live with the guilt. Leech or not it means a lot to Turkey."
The two looked at eachother.
"Well?"
"It's the only way to save Turkey."
"It is better to have him hate us for a while than have him dead."
The Egyptian nodded to himself. "So you have made your choice? Kill the rebellion?"
"Yes."
"Then we'd better get going. The sooner it gets extinguished the better." Egypt stood. "Get what you need. I'll get something to tie Turkey down with. He's bound to fight like his own life is at stake."
Short chapter yes, but I'm going to just wrap this up. Screw continuing. It isn't a really visited story due to it being a Turkey story so it's not like many are gonna miss it. But I love it all the same. I love Turkey all the same. I'll do what I always do with stories like this too. I'll have different endings! Yay! Well thanks for all who have read this so far. I hope you enjoyed it. Especially my three reviewers! Thanks a lot! BrightDarkness signing off until the next chapter. Also to be known as ending A!
