Long Live – 5:17 (Hungary x Prussia)

It was before they grew up; before he – well, technically she – became a girl and left him. The two rampaged through Europe and conquered the land. They were undefeatable, swearing oaths to their swords and toasting victories to giant mugs of beer, the white foam frothing and spilling over the brim like the German way.

Gilbert remembered fondly, his friend who hid a secret that not even he himself – no, she herself – knew.

But they had their first cigars together, a big, thick one that old man Francis had given to them. Gilbert had coughed and gagged at the taste, but Elizaveta thought the round cigar felt good hanging and puffing from her mouth.

They took on what had seemed like all the armies of Europe together, losing the same amount that they won. Those were the good times, hearing the wild battle cries and the thundering hooves of the Calvary on the vast hills that seemed to be made for wars.

He remembered fondly, but he wondered if she ever did.
