[Hetalia] Singapore, the Lion City

A Fan-made Fanfiction


He gazed down at the lithe figure that looked up at him curiously. "Hey... Who're you?" The little girl blinked.

"The Island at the End."

            A girl with black shoulder-length hair ran freely, stopping at the edge of the sea. Even though she had never been told, but she knew that if she stepped into the waters, she would easily be washed away into oblivion.

            She lived alone, with only a lion as her friend. There was no one else living with her. Temasek was always spending her days freely roaming her lands, full of trees. I wonder if there's anyone else like me? she wondered, but those thoughts were soon distracted by the sighting of a butterfly, and her chasing after it.

            One day, as she sat at the shore enjoying the feel of water on her feet with her lion friend, she saw something in the horizon. Quickly jumping to her feet, she squinted to see what it was. A strange thing like the shape of a pod that floated on water! She gasped. Would it kill her? Or did it just want to visit her island?

            As she stood there frozen, the boat came to a stop where water met sand. The lion growled, and Temasek hushed it. Two men alighted from it. Though Temasek did not know it at that time, one of them was called Indonesia and the other was called Sang Nila Utama.

            Indonesia knelt down and gently touched Temasek's face. She seemed a bit surprised and uncertain of what to do, but when Indonesia smiled at her innocent youth, she smiled back shyly.

            They rechristened her as Singapura, the City of Lions. Her furry companion would have approved.

Fin.

We've only begun on Singapore's history, but I vaguely remember some parts which I learnt before. I was so proud during history when I absent-mindedly pointed at the map and read, "Prussia". So the teacher explained that Prussia was no longer there, and I replied, "I know, it was effectively abolished in 1947 since it kept being absorbed into Germany. The country there is now Germany."

I'm looking forward to writing about her time with England for some reason.

Sayon.
