"W-what do you mean we'll be separated again?" England asked as he tried to comfort Serena, "I'm not sure. I-I just had this vision l-last night." She answered as tears streamed down her face. "I-I thought you promised that y-you would stay by me un-until we both disappear." The Brit spoke once more as he wiped away his mirror image's tears.

"I know. But maybe.." Serena paused as her originator looked in her eyes, "It will happen to give you strength." She continued, followed by a sigh. "What do you mean it will help me become stronger?" He asked before hearing the crinkle of dead grass and leaves to reveal a figure.

The figure had light orange hair; similar to Scotland's, with darker green eyes. "Ireland." England growled, "What do you want?" Ireland just stared at the two as he thought of his answer. "I heard ya gonna go ta war with the Frog." He spoke at last. "So." The English nation answered, "Can't you see I'm busy?" He added. Ireland looked over his younger brother's shoulder to see the same girl he saw centuries ago.

"What're you doin' her lass?" He asked as he got Serena's attention, "I'm here to visit. What are you doing here?" She answered and asked back. Ireland stood in shock when he noticed that Serena asked the same question.

"Just ta warn Sasana 'bout what the Frog's doin'." Ireland answered, "An' I thought that someone was chosen to be a maid or servant of his." He added as Serena looked at her hands. "Is that true? Am I just here to be your maid England?" She whispered to England, "Don't even mention that Ireland!" England yelled at his older brother, "That's not the only reason Serena is here!"

As soon as those words hit Ireland's ears, he slowly walked away, leaving the two alone. "Fine, but don't tell me I didn't warn ya." Ireland replied as his figure slowly disappeared.

Serena stared at the slightly larger hands that were holding her own, "I-is the main reason I'm with you now, is s-so I could be your maid?" She questioned quietly as England rubbed her back. "I didn't even know I was going to get a maid." He answered, "I was only asked for the name of a girl in this land; and I said your name." England continued.

~before Serena and England reunited~

England slowly walked through one of his villages as he noticed men leaving their families to prepare for possible war. Turing around, England heard panting from behind him. "Adam." The Brit spoke, "What is it?" He added. Trying to catch his breath, Adam answered; "Henry VII wants you to pick a maiden to stay with you for awhile."

"Why?" The English nation asked as Adam slowly came closer to him, "He doesn't want you to be lonely, England sir." Adam answered as his nation sighed, "There's a girl I knew as a child; her name is Serena." England spoke as Adam caught on, "The girl who was with you for a few hundred years? The one you abruptly came into existence?" Adam questioned once more.

"Yes. There's no other maiden I want by my side; I believe Serena is best with what Henry wants." England answered with a sigh. Adam nodded, "As you wish England sir. May the relationship between you two prosper."

"Honest, I only said your name so that we could be together again!" England slightly wailed while Serena stayed silent. "I-It was just so painful t-to be abused by Scotland w-without you by me, Serena. I didn't want you to f-feel lonely as well." Serena noticed that her originator was now crying.

'What have I done?' Serena asked herself as she thought of how to react, 'Right now, my job is to make England happy.' She thought to herself when she finally spoke. "I wonder if this is what fate wanted." England looked at his mirror image as she hugged him tightly, "For me to be your maid, so that it could be an excuse for us to be together." Serena continued.

It then made sense to England, it was planned for him to suggest Serena to be his maid; to be the one responsible to help him. "O-okay." England whispered as he wiped his tears away. "I understand now." He added as slumber somehow came to him, making him faint. Serena chuckled to herself; she couldn't help it as a thought came to her mind.

'He hasn't changed a bit.'

~1337; beginning the Hundred Years' War ~

England could feel the change within him; his king wanted the throne of France. "But why? Edward the third already has this country's throne; why would he want France's throne?" He asked himself as he got his armor ready.

"England!" Serena called from farther down the path, "Why is Edward wanting France's throne? There shouldn't even be this war going on right now!" She asked as tears felled down her face.

"This is unnecessary! Blood will be spilled for no reason at all!" Serena continued as she cried into her originator's shoulder, "I think he wants more power." England whispered in Serena's ear, "They've been fighting for who would take the frog's throne for awhile now. I think Edward snapped." He continued as Serena nodded to his answer.

England sighed as he stared at Serena's worried face, "I know you don't want this war to break out. But it's gotten worse; I honestly didn't want it either." "Is this really what he wants?" Serena asked as she pulled England into a tight hug. "Unfortunately yes, it's what Edward wants. As much as I desire getting more land and power to defend myself; he shouldn't go for another nations throne." England answered as he rubbed Serena's back.

Hours passed as England calmed his mirror image down, and walked through a few near by villages. "Just seeing these families separated for the war makes me upset." Serena whispered quietly to herself, "I know." England responded. "But it's what these people have to risk for defending this land."

"I understand." Serena whispered once more as the two got to their tents. "Good night." England spoke into Serena's ear as he lightly kissed her forehead.

~Serena's dream~

Serena was surrounded by dark clouds, she could barely see what was in front of her as she felt the presence of someone else in the area. The clouds started to fade away as it revealed a figure dressed in purple.

"The witch!" Serena gasped as the woman came closer to her, "The name's Lucia darling." Lucia replied as she touched Serena's face. "Why are you here? Where am I?" Serena asked as Lucia took a step back. "I'm here to tell you something." She responded with as the clouds slowly turned red.

"There will be a time of rage and anger coming mirror image." The witch continued, "The people will be raged of the war and the king's decisions. They will blame England for suggestion of taking the throne in the kingdom of France."

Serena's eyes widened; "What?" She asked as figures appeared as a crowd was below them. There was a small stump as the smallest figure put it's head on the stump. "W-who is that?" Serena stuttered as it revealed who it was.

"England?!" Serena somewhat wailed as the crowd started to cheer, the widest had a sword in his hand as the crowd became a riot.

"Kill him already!"

"It's his fault my children's father is dead!"

"He should have never told the king to take France's throne!"

Serena heard over and over. "No! Please, stop showing me this!" She shouted as Lucia put her hand on Serena's shoulder, "Do you want to prevent this?" She asked as Serena turned around.

"Yes." Serena answered, "I don't want England to disappear; I don't want him killed!" Tears came down her face quickly as Lucia kneeled down.

"You can stop this." She whispered, "What can I do to stop this from happening?" Serena questioned Lucia.

"The price for saving your originator's life, is to sacrifice your own and take his place."

Lucia answered as Serena nodded. "If that's what I have to do to save my own originator..." Serena paused.

"Then I'll do it! I won't let England die when I know he can gain much more power and recognition then what he currently has. I know that he has potential to lead them. If that's the price to prevent him being killed; then I'll take that risk."

Serena vowed as the clouds started to fade. "Your wish shall be granted. But how England will escape; is up to you." Lucia spoke as she faded away and a light appeared in front of Serena.

"I'm doing this for you England. Please understand what I'm doing."
