Rain began to fall, bringing along with it the smell of rain as the sun once again broke through the night's blankets. No words were said, the time went by as more rain spoke hitting the leaves, drip drop. Soon the tower, Hungary's home, came in clear sight. The old bricked up tower of a home, with its cone blue roof running the clear water down to the hard solid ground.
"Hungary, you climb up first." Austria said, his face pale.
"Yes, father." And so Hungary climbed up the ladder, dragging herself into the window. Austria stepped into the window too out of the cold rain.
"Hungary, we need to talk." Austria's voice low and crackly.
"Hm? What about?" Hungary asked, looking t Austria from across the room.
"I have many questions to ask you. But first." Not bothering to take off his wet clothes he walked over to Hungary, giving her a soft hug. At that moment, Hungary's eyes widened, forgiveness, pain, hurt, worry? Is this what I'm feeling? Hungary Thought to herself. A burning sensation swelled in her eyes, tears poured down harder and harder, more fell even as she dug her face into Austria's chest.
"I-I'm sorry d-daddy!" Hungary shouted, pulling away a bit so her voice could be heard clear.
A shocking pain pierced rushed into Austria's heart remembering when was the last time she called him that. "I'm so happy your not hurt." He said, pulling her away so he could look into her eyes, puffy and red, filled with salty drops. A light smile crossed his face.
"D-daddy, please tell me. Are you still mad at me?" Hungary cried her wet eyes, not giving a second thought as of to look away.
"No, I was just so frightened of the possibilities that some thing could have happened to you. The last thing I want is to loss you." Austria said, helping her dry her eyes.
"Thank you daddy!" Hungary shouted, finally able to smile again.
"Now Hungary. There are a lot of things going on. You see, there is a castle far from here. And well, to say the least I'm involved with what's happening." Austria's voice lowers, casing a frown to resume.
"Can you tell me what's happening? Please! Maybe I can help!" Hungary pleaded. Tugging on his cold shirt.
"Fine, but we need to get some clean cloths on before we catch colds!" Austria laughed a bit. Hungary nodded, smiling, they both went to their rooms.
"Daddy, can you tell me now?" Hungary asked again, now with clean cloths. Austria was already sitting on the couch, he also having clean cloths. Hungary then sat next to Austria waiting for an answer.
"W-well, there's supposedly a boy named Prussia, as the once called nation. I've heard Germany, his brother, died years ago, though their only rumors. Prussia is wanted dead because of his eyes. Everyone says their unnatural, that they need to be gone." Austria sighed, then continued. "The castle I mentioned has a queen, she's the one who wants Prussia dead and with that, her people follow her in wanting just that. The queen once had a King who stood besides her, and a young daughter. Her name being Elizaveta, her human name anyways." Austria was stopped by Hungary's wondering look.
"You mean, that name you called me before, if so then!" Hungary said, questioning her own ideas.
"Yes, that is your human name. And I'm the king, Austria. I too have a human name." Before Austria could speak more of the truth, Hungary dropped to the floor.
"AHHH! Daddy!" Hungary yelled, a tight pain come over her neck. Austria pushed away her hair, reveling the name Hungary written in fine cursive.
"Hungary, are you alright?" Austria asked, slowly rubbing her neck.
"I'm fine, what was that?" Hungary asked, feeling the pain vanish away in a shocking second.
"After knowing the truth, the truth will never be lied about. This is what this is. You finally found the truth, now, with this on your neck you'll never be able to deny it." Austria said, hopping to reassure her.
"But, you have a human name too, right?" Hungary asked, still trying to comprehend.
"I do, but my truth is upon my arm. There are others like us who have truths like this. As in the Queen, Prussia, and Germany." Austria said, happy the truth come at last.
"O-oh." Hungary nodded.
"Hungary, a war may start though I myself is still unsure of the future. I want us to travel to the castle." Austria shivered in the thoughts of that coming into reality.
"I will travel with you! Prussia is my friend, and with what I saw in the last few days I'm ready this time!" Hungary shouted, determined, now filled with courage.
Austria smiled, "We can't go quit yet my dear. Sadly, you wouldn't last more than a day out coming into the mist of war, I can't even say more than a minute." Eyes dead serous, but still very worried and scared.
Hungary thought for a moment, "Why don't you train me then?"
"Haha, I would love to, of course I can't do more than chip a tree." Austria awkwardly laughed.
Hungary frowned, sitting back down on the couch.
"But, I do know some one who can help." Austria said, by those words Hungary's eyes lit up.
"Who is it?!" Hungary jumped up feeling more excited by the reassurance.
"We have so little time until some thing big comes up, though I'm sure we can find some help in stopping this." Austria said, standing up walking over to the closet way back in the far corner.
"Hm? What exactly needs to stop?" Hungary asked, forgetting the reason.
"We need to stop the hunt for Prussia, along with the hunt for the other truths. Naturally, truths have a psychical traits which is unnatural." Austria said, ruminating through the closet.
"Oh, but you don't have anything unnatural about you. At least, I don't think so. And, why does the Queen want all the truths to be gone?" Hungary asked, looking outside to where the rain hasn't let out.
"The truth I have you can't see, its only visible only at night. Also, the queen herself is a truth. Nobody knows of course. She wishes to be the only truth alive." Austria said, bringing out a cage
"What's that daddy?" Hungary asked, walking closer to the cage.
Austria takes off the cloth hiding the cage, then opened it to take out a small yellow chick.
"This is Gilbird. A chick who will never become a chicken, or well, at least never grow bigger than this anyways." Austria handed the chick over to Hungary, though instead flew to the top of her head.
"Its so cute." Hungary smiled and laughed.
"He's also tough, Gilbird is a messenger bird."
"You mean chick?" Hungary giggled, spinning around this the little chick sitting on top of her head.
Austria laughed, "We're going to have this little guy get a letter to your soon to be trainer. Okay?" Austria winked, smiling as the little chick flew over to his head.
Austria then sat at his desk, which was conveniently next to the closet.
"Daddy, what will you write?" Hungary asked, peering over his shoulder.
He began to write," Dear Alfred, please come over to the tower, I think we both know which tower that is too. Come train my daughter for we will travel to find all the truths we can to stop the queen. I'm not sure if you know about the truths, I will explain everything within my knowledge to you. Austria." Finished writing the letter, he wrapped it giving it to Gilbird.
The small chick garbed the letter by its peak.
"May I take him out?" Hungary asked, picking up the warm fluffy fur ball. Austria nodded. With Gilbird sitting in the palms of Hungary's hands, she let him fly out, stretching her arms out the window.
"Did Gilbird fly out alright?" Austria asked, walking up next to Hungary still staring out the window.
"I think so, will he be alright?" Hungary asked, a bit worried.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll fair just fine." Austria said patting Hungary's head, smiling.
Now, watching the little chick fly out yonder, all there was to do was wait until an answer came. Or probably the real person, which is most likely better in this case.
