Warning: Chibi America and Canada adorableness!

Magena knew that something was bothering her little ones. Matoskah and Dyami were trembling as the sun went to sleep and there was no moon that night. She wrapped them in the deer skin blankets to shield them from the cold.

"My loves, what is the matter?" She cooed.

Matowkah whimpered as he answered. "It's too dark."

"We can't see you when it's dark and it's scary mommy!" Dyami cried.

Her little joys were scared of the dark? That can be easily fixed.

"Well, I will be here all night so there will be nothing to worry about. Go to sleep my White Bear and Eagle." With that, her little children curled up next to each other and fell asleep under the large oak tree.

Instead of sleep, Magena saw a glint of silver and saw a spider spinning its web.

"Little Spider, may I have some of your silk?" She asked.

The spider gave her some silk and Magena spun and spun a very large, very thin blanket of webbing. Early morning dew made the silver blanket shine all the more brighter and she smiled. She heard a yawn and watched as her little Matowkah turned in his sleep and Dyami wrapped his arm around his brother. Her little bear and eagle. Magena climbed the tree all the way to the top with the blanket and threw it into the sky.

With the rise of the sun, Magena did not see her web of silver and dew and worried for her children at night. After a full day of teaching her sons how to hunt and fish and to plant food in case the animals leave, the mother and sons were tired.

"Mother, what are those bright lights in the sky?" Dyami asked, his voice filled with wonder.

"Those are the stars. They will watch over you with the moon and will always be with you even if I am not. They are your guardians and will protect you as you sleep." She said to her child.

...

Alfred woke to a little body trying to get into his bed. He opened his eyes and saw little Petrova. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" His voice croaky.

"It's too dark and scary in my room. Can I sleep with you?" Her violet eyes wide with fright and small little body shivered.

"Yeah, sure. Let me show you something." Alfred got out of bed and lifted his seven year old state into his arms and carried her to the window in his room. "You see the stars?"

Petrova nodded.

"They will watch over you with the moon and will always be with you even when I am not. They are your guardians and will protect you as you sleep. Like your guardian angels. You scared still?" Alfred asked, his hair messy.

Petrova shook her head. Her daddy was the bravest man in the world and if he could be brave at night, so could she!

"That's my girl. Let's go to bed, I have a meeting with the other countries in the morning." He yawned.

Petrova was still scared of the dark, but her daddy was a hero and the stars were her guardian angels so she fell asleep snuggled up to her dad.
