Chapter 1

Sickness

"How are you feeling?"

Mathias put his hand on Emils forehead and sighed. The fever hadn't gotten any lower and the younger nation was clearly in pain.

"I'm fine" His is voice was only a weak whisper. Emil had gotten very ill after one of his volcanos had a huge eruption but even now after everything had calmed down, he still hadn't become any better. Lukas had taken him home to his place for recovery and Mathias had temporarily moved in, too worried to just stay at home. But that was three weeks ago and Emil still hadn't gotten any better.

"Sure you are"

Emil had already fallen asleep so Mathias slowly left the room, leaving a last worried glance on the sleeping nation before heading downstairs.

As he walked down the stairs he could hear someone talking inside Lukas room. It was weird because it was only himself, Emil and Lukas in the house and it was unlikely Lukas was just talking to himself. Mathias put an ear close to the door and listened but he could only hear one person talking.
"Lukas?" he said and knocked on the door. There was no break in the mumbling and he didn't receive any answer either. "Lukas, I'm coming in" Mathias pushed down the handle and pulled at the door.

But nothing happened.

He pulled at it again. Lukas never locked the door. Mathias started banging on the door when the mumbling suddenly stopped. A slight glow was coming from underneath the door and it was slowly getting stronger. Lukas was now speaking, almost screaming on the other side of the door but to Mathias it sounded like he was speaking another language so he didn't understand a single word. But it didn't matter, it sounded like Lukas was in trouble so all he could think about was getting through the locked door.

After a lot of banging, kicking and screaming, the door finally flew open and he stumbled inside. "Lukas! Lukas, are you okay?" The sight that met his eyes stopped his worried yelling and he could only stare in shock. Lukas was hanging in the air a few feet above the ground and underneath him was a big symbol Mathias had never seen before. The only light in the room was a few candles, all with different colored flames. The startled nation slowly made his way towards Lukas that was now mumbling words that didn't make any sense. "Lukas, what…" All of a sudden Lukas head turned towards Mathias, his eyes rolled back so only the whites was showing and his body started shaking violently, the flames on the candles burned brighter and the circle started glowing stronger. In the middle of all this chaos Mathias could only make out one thing, a weak whisper coming from the only other person in the room.

"Help"

He didn't hesitate for a second before tackling Lukas out of the circle, which moments later lit up so bright they couldn't even look at it. It grew even brighter before disappearing in a shockwave that threw both nations across the room and made the entire house shake. The last thing Mathias saw was Lukas laying dusty and unconscious on the ground before everything went dark.

He didn't know for how long he had been unconscious but when he woke up something felt off. He managed to crawl to Lukas that had still not woken up. He tried waking him up but it was no use. With shaking hands he slowly reached to check his pulse and he let out a relieved sigh when he felt the weak pounding.

"What's going on?" A voice was coming from the door and when Mathias turned around he could see Emil standing there, seemingly healthy.

"I…I don't know, I just came down and It seemed like Lukas was in trouble and I didn't know what to do so I pushed him away and there was this light and I just-" his rambling was interrupted when he realized that the small nation was staring at him. "What's wrong?" Emil just pointed at him.

"Ears" then he moved his finger downwards "Tail". Mathias moved his hands to his ears but paled when he couldn't find them. He kept moving his hands higher and found something furry and pointy on the top of his head. He looked behind him and could see a long fluffy tail sticking out from in-between his clothes.
