Greetings ! Everyone. I'm ChicoHoney from Malaysia. This is the second chapter of The Story of Malaysia. Next, I did not own Hetalia and my English is not good so feel free to pin point my mistake. So… Let's start!

Kedah: The oldest civilization of Southeast Asia (Part 1)

The personification Kedah was born in a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom around 110 A.D due to the discovery of temples, jetty and so on. Kedah was a quick learning nation because he easily learns the meaning of trading, the architect and so on. His people discover a valley known as Bujang Valley (In Malay is known as Lembah Bujang). His people built tons of temple (candi in Malay), figures and so on.

Kedah has a lot of names… I mean it. For now, let's name him as Kedah Tua which literally translates as The Old Kedah.

There was a legend saying that Kedah was found by a Hindu King which was known as Merong Mahawangsa. According to that legend, Merong Mahawangsa was from Rome and claimed that he was a descendent of Alexander the Great. He was a warrior but from this point onwards, there were different theories, first theory was, Merong Mahawangsa brought a young Roman prince to China to marry a Chinese Princess and the second theory was, Merong Mahawangsa left Rome and sailed to China for tranding.

Of course, there might other theories but there was one similarity from those two theories was Merong Mahawangsa and his crews were attacked by a legendary giant phoenix called Garuda then they were washed up on a shore which is Bujang Valley, where they settled and created a kingdom of Langkasuka (From the northern of Malaysia to Southern of Thailand).

Kedah was walking on the Bujang Valley and he was really bored. Suddenly, he saw some unconscious men lying on the shore. He run towards the scene and knelt down to check on one of them.

'Hey,are you okay?' Kedah shake the man. The man stirred then he opens his eyes.

'Where am I?' the man said as he tried to sit.

'You are in Bujang Valley. It seems that your friends were unharmed.' Kedah replied to him.

'What's your name, sir?' The man asked him. Kedah replied him with a kind smile 'I'm Kedah. What's yours?'

'My name is Merong Mahawangsa. It is nice to meet you, Kedah.' Merong extended his hand after he introduced himself. Kedah accepted his gesture.

Kedah bought Merong Mahawangsa and his crew to the village that Kedah live. The villagers were kind enough to provide a place to live and food for Merong Mahawangsa and his crew.

Ever since that day, Kedah and Mahawangsa became friends. One day, Kedah having his sleep and he dreamed that there was a great warrior come and unite all the tribe into one kingdom and defeat the enemy. Kedah woke up after his dream ended and he saw the figure of the great warrior clearly. It was Merong Mahawangsa, his best friend.

Kedah's dream came true. Merong Mahawangsa defeats all enemy and unite all the tribe then form a kingdom known as Langkasuka. During all the battles, Merong Mahawangsa fought along with Kedah, they protect each other's back and won all the battles.

After a kingdom was built, Merong Mahawangsa became of King of Langkasuka. As his best friend, Kedah was happy and proud of him. When Merong Mahawangsa appoint some of people as ministers, there was one position that he was hesitate about which was the King's advisor.

The King sighed loudly, he stood up and walked through the door. He walked aimlessly, he passed the gate of the castle, the village that he lived before then he stopped.

He remembers that place, the shore of the Bujang Valley. The place that he was saved by his best friend and he turned his head to a figure who was stared to the view of the Bujang Valley. It was him, Kedah.

The king approached him and said to him 'Hey, Kedah. It's been long time I did not meet you.'

Kedah turned his head to the familiar voice and he smile then turned back to the view 'Yeah.'

They stood in silence for a moment but Kedah interrupted the silent 'How's the life as a king, Mahawangsa?'

The king chuckled then he sighed 'It's tired, you see. Appointing the ministers, keep the kingdom in peace, treaty and so on.'

Kedah hummed 'I thought that you have finished selecting the ministers?'

Mahawangsa shook his head 'There is one more which is the advisor. Well… I can't make my decision.'

'That's why you coming here, huh?' Kedah said to him and the king nodded his head.

'Kedah…?' The king turned his head to his best friend.

Kedah tilted his head 'What is it?'

'Can you become my advisor?' The king asked him after he gained some courage.

The personification was confused and asked him back 'Why? May I ask for a reason?'

The king calmly replied the question 'You are my friend, Kedah. We have gone through a lot of battle and manage to unite all the tribe. You helped me, trusted me even taught me your martial art. I think that you are the suitable person to become my advisor.'

Kedah was slightly shocked and said to him 'But I am the personification of this land, I told you before.'

Again, the king calmly told him 'I know and that's also the reason I wanted you to become my advisor. You are familiar with this land and the people, Kedah. Please become my advisor.'

Kedah thought for a moment 'Alright then. I shall become your advisor.' Mahawangsa smiled and he extended his hand. Kedah smiled and accept his gesture. Thus, this created the strong and unbreakable between the king and the personification of Kedah.

Merong Mahawangsa passed away and passed his position to his son then to his great grandchildren. Kedah also continued to become the king's advisor and watched his land became more prosperous.

On the year of 1136, the eighth King, King Phro Ong Mahawangsa converted from Hindu-Buddhist to Islam and changed his name to Sultan Mudzafar Shah. The Empire of Kedah also started on the same year.

In the Kedah's house

The Sultanate of Kedah (Kedah Empire) started in year 1136 when King Phra Ong Mahawangsa converted to Islam and adopted the name Sultan Mudzafar Shah.

After King Phra Ong Mahawangsa ascend the throne, Kedah started to became an empire and his king converted to Islam due to the influence of Malacca. Kedah was busy working with his paper works which most of them were trading, security of his country and so on. This also causes Kedah's work double. He sighed and closes his eyes for a moment. Suddenly, there were two children busts into his office room.

'Brother, can we go out and play?' Penang and Perlis said to him.

Kedah stared at his siblings then he smile and replied back to them 'Sure. Let's go!'

Finally, I'm finished…I'm so tired. This story is so hard to write because I had to figure a scene and it does not have many interesting history happening like Malacca but I shall try my best to do my next chapter. Feel free to review and please tell me which next state I should write about? Thank you!

Peace out~~
