Chapter 6

"She really is cute, your little Flora," Japan commented towards England. After some thought, the nations which were hit by storms and some of their 'concerned' neighbors had decided to meet and discuss what to do with the eggs once hatched. And since the hatchlings were like children, the nations were not comfortable leaving the creatures alone.

"She is I suppose, I just wish she would stop becoming so dirty. Honestly, it's as if dirt simply sticks to her!" England replied with a sigh as he tried brushing some of the dirt from Flora's long hair. Flora squirmed slightly at this, only to then see a potted plant and try to run to it to play in. England saw this, however, and firmly held her tight. He then continued, "So then your egg has not hatched yet?"

"No. I found it the other day, but not yet. However, I think it will hatch soon. I simply wonder what kind of creature will come from it," Japan answered as he showed a little egg the color of an ember. He smiled slightly to himself as he felt a constant heat come from the egg.

"Well, all I can give you are ideas, but I can narrow it down to at least four broad categories," England answered.

"Really? So then do you know what these things are?" Finland asked as he walked near them and decided to join in the conversation. As he walked closer, Pyry looked curiously at Flora and Japan's egg, only to then jump down from Finland and up to Flora.

"Yes, the idea came to me after Seychelles' egg hatched last week," England answered only to then point towards Seychelles who at the time was talking to America and Canada. Within arm's reach from her and on a table was a shallow bowl filled with water. Lounging in the water was a little girl with large ears, short, sand-colored hair, and if one looked down at her a blue fish tail for legs. Feeling that the girl looked a lot like a mermaid, Seychelles had decided to name the girl Ariel; after the famous mermaid.

"So then what are they?" Finland asked.

"I think we're still waiting for one or two people, so I'll tell everyone then," England answered only to then wander towards America, Canada, and Seychelles.

Soon after saying this, the last two nations entered the room and the meeting was to begin. With this, America asked, "Okay, according to England he now thinks he knows what these things are. So…what are they?"

"The answer is actually very simple, so simple that I must have overlooked it for some time. They're a certain kind of sprites which can control a part of one of the four main elements," England answered then looked to the others satisfied. The others, however, simply gave him an unsure look.

"Okay, so I'm confused. What does a creature having wings have to do with some element mumbo jumbo?" America asked.

"Well, the fact that she has wings signifies her as controlling the element of air. Besides, don't you think it's interesting that before when she wanted to fly around a rather curious breeze appeared out of nowhere?" England answered.

"I thought that it was simply from the boy that hatched out of New Zealand's egg," Canada commented only to then look towards New Zealand and at the little boy who was happily distracting himself by seeing how long he could keep a scrap of paper floating due to his breath.

"Then I suppose it's pretty obvious which element little Berg here represents," Liechtenstein commented as she pointed him out to the others. Roughly one week ago hers and her brother's egg had hatched to reveal a little boy who seemed to always be covered in dirt and would at times make small stones appear out of seemingly thin air. Upon seeing this, Switzerland and their neighbors had been focusing more on figuring out where the stones came from than the creature that made them.

"Yes, earth, aru," China, who decided to come to the meeting with Taiwan and Hong Kong, replied dryly. The elder then looked down near Hong Kong's lap at where Shandian was happily watching. As Hong Kong predicted, almost immediately after announcing that his egg hatched China decided to visit and see the contents. Also as Hong Kong predicted, Shandian was not happy to meet a new guest, and upon being picked up shocked China. With this in mind China continued, "I, for one, think that it was very irresponsible to leave these dangerous sprites or whatever all over the place and with whoever found them first."

"You're just upset that Shandian doesn't like you," Taiwan commented only to then laugh as the little creature in question looked darkly at China before snuggling deeper into Hong Kong's shirt.

"You make it sound like General winter left them wherever he felt like it," Russia, who had also decided to crash the meeting, answered in defense of his long-time friend.

"There is a point to that. Maybe that winter dude left the eggs where he did because he knew that they'd be taken care of best by that nation!" America concluded happily.

"Please, who in their right mind would leave you alone with a small child?" England asked snidely. To this Canada commented that if that really was the case then the egg was originally left for him, not America; but was ignored.

"And if he wanted the eggs to be left where they would be 'taken care of best,' why did he leave them with so many youngsters, aru?" China continued.

"Liechtenstein does a wonderful job of with Berg," Switzerland growled in defense of how his little sister took care of the egg they decided to both raise.

"I agree with Switzerland. It's not really fair to say that all of us younger nations are bad at raising the sprites just because the one Hong Kong is in charge of doesn't like you," New Zealand replied.

"Besides China, if you were to take claim to Shandian-chan you know that you would not be happy since he would shock you every chance he got," Japan continued the train of commented.

China harrumphed at this, only to then watch as said creature jumped out of Hong Kong's reach, walked across the table to China, and stared at him. After a second of this, the child smiled and held out his hand; only to then give China a small enough shock simply to annoy the elder. Upon seeing China's enraged look, the boy laughed and rushed back to the protection of Hong Kong.

"Wow, he really doesn't like you. What'd you do to anger the lad?" England asked as he watched the fight between the nation and the sprite continues silently. When he heard about the egg, England had also gone to meet with Hong Kong's sprite. He was like-wise shocked, but afterwards the boy seemed very friendly with England.

"I didn't do anything to him. Hong Kong must have for some reason made the child hate me, aru! I don't know why he'd do that though," China answered hurtfully due to the idea of his little brother hating him so much.

In response, Hong Kong gave a hint of confusion and replied, "I can't help it if the child likes certain people and dislikes others. I didn't tell him one way or the other."

"Well maybe you should have, aru," China answered finitely, only to then earn an eye roll from most of the other countries.

Feeling that it was time for that conversation to be dropped, Finland decided to ask, "Looking around I guess this means that everyone's but Japan's egg has hatched. Do you know what kind of creature will come from it?"

"I my theory is correct, the creature should control-!" England began but did not finish his sentence due to Japan throwing the suddenly smoking egg onto the table. From the smoke came an intense flame which quickly spread down the table. In the panic, someone yelled out "Fire!" right before the smoke detectors began to alarm and water to come from the sprinklers on the ceiling.

Sudden ending but we'll stop there for now
