A small snippet from the POV of North America (Maitte and Al's mama)
Amaguq-Inuit- God Of deception and Wolves – Potential: Philanthropist – Desire: Freedom
Annakpok- Inuit- Free- Potential: Philosopher- Desire: Success
"Brother hold still, the paint will smudge if you move then mama is going to make us go wash and then we can't go hunting with our people." Annakpok whined as he put hunters paint on Amaguq's cheeks.
"Fine Annak but I want to put your paint on you next; it's not fair if just you get to do it."
Their mother watches from the opening of the hut, she smiles at their nit picking. She loves them and would do anything to protect them, but even she cannot stop the flow of time.
She has seen what is to come.
Has seen her boys grow apart, be fought over, ripped apart, brought back together, fight and scar one another, make the other cry, argue and hate each other.
But she has also seen them love one another, bond, and laugh, stay strong and support the other, fight for each other, look the world in the face and laugh the pain off together.
She fears for the sadness that they will meet.
She is glad that they will stay together, holding one another up so they can fight the worlds pain.
"Now remember Ama no getting it in my hair and just put little marks!"
One will be known as Canada, shy and quiet, but fierce and strong.
"I know Annak stop telling me and let me do it!"
The other as America, loud and strong, but helpful and caring.
"Careful Ama the paint is spilling!"
"Annak look what you made me d-do."
By themselves they are not weak.
"I'm sorry, I just want our first time hunting together to be fun." Annakpok said quietly.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fun no matter what happens, because were together." Amaguq laughed bending down to pick up the broken bowl of paint.
But together they are stronger.
She knows this because no matter what happens; Amaguq will always seek out Annakpok.
Amaguq desires freedom.
Annakpok embodies freedom.
