I'm trying to expand on a chapter I wrote last week, but I can't find a way. And I'm not happy the way it is now.
2550 BCE, China. (Hebei = China) (Jiangsu = Genderbent China)
There was the everyday tension in the air, as everyone presumed their everyday lives. But since this is like 4000 years ago, and I have no idea how life went back then, I'll just get to the point. Hebei and Jiangsu were arguing over something again. But unlike the unimportant stuff, like rations, defense, battle tactics, they were arguing over something that would change all of China.
"I say the national symbol should be Pandas-aru!" Hebei Argued. He then slammed his hand on the table in anger.
The entire town could hear the arguing.
It was a hot summer day. With nothing to do, Hebei had visited Jiangsu's house in order to discuss unification.
"I say Dragons-aru!" Jiangsu yelled. She then took some ink and threw it on a board of wood. The ink formed into a series of drawings. Jiangsu then arranged the drawings. "You see!" She then pointed to the drawings she had finished. On the left, was a Dragon breathing fire. On the right, was a Panda being roasted.
On a side note, Pandas today, are an endangered species.
"Ai ya! What the hell-aru!"
"Little brother's frustrated-aru!"
"I am the eldest!" In anger, he broke the left wall, and Hebei stormed out.
Note, China, like Mesopotamia, lacked unity. On a happy note, Egypt wins the contest of being the first major civilization to unify, in 3000 BCE. But it wasn't until the 27th century BCE that the Egyptian old kingdom began.
A short one this time. Please review.
