the lone country, trying their best to fly. They never thought flying would be this hard. So many other countries knew how to fly but why was it so difficult for them? maybe because of those purple burns on their arms. They felt weak, they felt as if they were going to collapse. The dark vøıđ's dark black shadows took over their vision.

they were back in their palace, they were a child again. They recognized the hallway. The palace... it was were they lived all their childhood. They looks at themselves, their dear ears going down in confusion. 'I was in the void, how am I back in the palace hallway? I remember this.. this- memory! this is before mom was- oh no- mom!' the country runs down the hallway. They see a tall female country, kingdom to be precise.

They ran up to her and hugged her. The female kingdom looked at them, "India what's wrong sweetie?" Jhansi said. She got on her knees and looked at India, he had been the lone country all along. "Mom- I was in this- this void- everything was black and dark and- there were these purple burns on my arms- the clouds had a blinding little and I had angel wings. I don't know if it all was a dream or not-" India quickly said. Jhansi's eyes widened.  "I didn't want this to happen to you in the future.. you can't give up, think of those who need you, think of those who love you, think of those who need your help. You can't leave them" Jhansi explained and got up. India looked at her, "but it hurts so much.." he said under his breath. "You'll have to bare the pain. You can't disappear because of some void burns. I raised you and I don't want you to disappear just like that in the future" Jhansi said. "If only you knew what would happen later on this day.." India whispered to himself and closed his eyes. He woke up. He was back in the void.

He had fainted because of his voids burns while he was trying to fly. He got up, it was painful but as his mother said 'you'll have to bare the pain'. He wanted to get out of there but it seemed like there was barely any hope. It was like the void was sucking every bit of hope and happiness out of him, it did seem true. He lost track of time. He forgot how long he had been there. It never seemed to be morning, never seemed to be night, never seemed to be noon. There seemed to be no time in the void. It was a timeless prison. It was sucking the hope and happiness out of him. Was he ever going to leave? would anyone even try to get him out of there? would anyone remember him?

those voices.. they wanted him to lose hope, they wanted him to stay there forever. He couldn't let those voices make him lose hope. But... he felt those voices were right. Maybe he was stuck there forever, maybe everyone else already forgot about him, maybe no one would try save him.

there was no comfort, no people who could help him. 'Did anyone even know about this place?' he thought to himself. Maybe he would be trapped there forever, no escape, no one there to help him, no one might even remember him. He was probably stuck there forever. He felt a stinging pain in his left arm grow. He realized because he kept thinking of negative things and thought of never leaving that place it was becoming true as the void burns on his arms grew. Negativity wasn't a way he could get out of there, he'd have to think positive. His siblings, his loved one, his friends, they'd find a way to save him, right? maybe. If there's a chance he's stuck there then theres also a chance he won't be stuck there for long. He cant give up hope now or else how would he get out of there. 

(Heya! I know this chapter was MUCH shorter but I also wanted to educate some people on some stuff and make myself feel better. lots of times we get stuck in situations or places we hate being in and we think that there's no way to get out of it. well if theres a chance you wont get out of that situation then theres a much higher chance you CAN get out of that situation. we should stay strong and know that we can fight any voice that tells us anything bad about ourselves, I wanted to add that part in this book to help make people feel better. and when in the last chapter Mexico thought he was all alone and regretted his decision of not going with the south americans he found his other friends who are the caribbeans, showing that even if you make a regretful decision you can still find people who did so much to see you or be with you again. if you ever feel theres a deep message in my books that can help you when your struggling, try relate it to something similar that happened to you in real you'll realize these messages I hide in my books. it's not all fiction I also write hidden messages to help people when they are struggling. remember dont give up because something good will happen. I was also struggling and I re-read my books to keep understanding my own messages I hid in my chapters and it helps. alvida~)
