Lost is what Y/N felt, looking at the other survivors chatting in a different language. The survivors looked at Y/N, making them feel uneasy.

Out of instinct, they did a hand sign that they learnt from other culture, signing that they're deaf.

"This should be all right? Did you double-check for any people under the rubble?" America asked the rescue team.

"No ma'am, we did the counting of the alive survivors, and it turned out we have one extra." A person said, showing a checklist that they had made.

"An extra...? Did you check the people who didn't manage to make it?" Ze questioned, looking at the checklist up and down.

"We did ma'am! We noticed that there's one that doesn't fit the description of the missing." Another member perked up.

"Could it be the one that Russia took?- Either way, why would a person be in this path? They could be lost, so we might as well take them back to safety. " America closed the case of the unknown extra person and ordered the team to start transporting the survivors, including Y/N, to safety.

Y/N followed the crowd, finding themselves in a fancy and advanced 'horse carriage' with the other people.

'Is this what the people in Svíaríki ride for a bonding trip? This looks different from the other country's horse carriages I had seen!'

While Y/N was at awe at how the 'horses' was well hidden in the 'carriage', a person handed out food to the people. They observed the packaging. The more excitement that comes to them as they figure out more about the present day things.

'Woah! These people are really creative and original. This,This is truly remarkable! This 'fabric' feels weird and pleasing to touch!'

The others did not care at how Y/N was oddly fascinated with everyday life things. They continued with minding their businesses and chatted with their buddies.

The cute alien hurriedly walked across the vehicle, aiding with people's injuries.

When it came to Y/N's turn for checkup, the tiny creature tripped over a litter and would have hit its head if it weren't for Y/N's fast reaction. "Boop!" Alex pout angrily, using its psychic power to throw the litter in the dustbin.

"Bleep?" Alex looked up to them. The two stared at each other, confused.

"HELP! MY FRIEND IS KNOCKED OUT!!" A distanced but loud yell alerted them, Alex gave a quick pat on Y/N's knee and ran off.

...

"Hnng... where's Y/N? I've searched everywhere and yet I can't find them.." Sweden rubbed his head, yawning.

"My snow cat, too... the one that Y/N called Catnon Blaster." Norway furrowed his brows, trying to think of where it had run off. "You know what, I'll just resummon it again."

"Mrroooww..." The icy cat mewed, cuddling against Norway's cold body. ( "NOO CATNON BLASTER!!! 😭😭😭" Y/N cried, clenching the crumpled flowers they managed to save.)

...

Y/N looked around, seeing that the crowd was leaving the fancy horse carriage. They saw a massive camera pointed at one person holding a mic and talking.

They tried to open their ears, listening to each word the person is saying. ' Why didn't I know this before? They're speaking in English¹! Man, that language was in the back of my head...'

'But it sounds like an English dialect..? Why's some of the wording different?'

They looked at others' family members, running to them and giving them a tight hug.

"Where's your family?" America placed zir arm on their shoulder, Alex climbed up onto zir head looking at Y/N with curiosity.

"F-family?" Though Y/N had learnt some old english through the locals, they struggled to understand the modern english America was speaking in.

"Ah... you're..a foreigner?" Ze said with a sheepish smile. "Alex, help me check what language they speak, please." "Buu!"

"..?" Y/N watched as the alien jumped onto their head, staring deep into their eyes with it's completely black eyes.

"Brrp!" It squint its eyes from joy as if saying, 'Eureka!'

"Old.. Norse? Isn't that language like- extinct?"

A low grunt caught America's attention, ze turned to Russia, receiving a note from her.

'It could possibly be that they don't have any family members either.' The oddly coloured note, its flashing colours made Y/N curious too. They peeked over America's shoulders.

"Hum... we should give them a home and teach em english then! Gotta give them a better life to enjoy!"

...

Denmark looked over their shoulders, seeing Sweden sulking, snapping a picture as it made their day.

"Where's did they go..? We just reunited. Did I do something wrong to upset them?"

"I'm sure you didn't. Swe, judging by their character, they're quick to forgive." Denmark gave Sweden a pat on their back.

...

Y/N was taken to an even more fancier carriage, a long horse carriage without a horse in sight, too. They sat next to America, who was leaning against the seat very comfortably, scrolling through Twitter(X).

'The air feels odd in here. It's not suffocating to be here either, though..'

Y/N looked over at America's hand. They found the phone a very intriguing box. The phone started ringing, which caused Y/N to move away to a different seat.

"President! Ermm.. yes, we managed to save most of the missing survivors, but there's a tinsy tiny problem... one of my crew reported that there's an extra survivor. Don't worry - you don't have to deal with it, cause I'm dealing with it now."

America faked a happy accent, clearly shaking while holding the phone.

"What? Kill? I won't do that!? I'll lose my job if I were to kill! When I sayin' that I'm dealin' with it, I'm not killin'!?"

Russia stared blankly into the window, resting her face on her single palm.

'Hey, since kids manage to talk to each other despite the language barrier, why can't adults?'

"Isn't the view nice? Hey, what's your name?" Y/N gave it a shot to chat with the quiet woman.

"Mmm..." She slid a piece of card to Y/N.

"Rus..sia?" Y/N muttered under their breath. The english the others used and they used were relatively the same letters, though the pronunciation were a little different.

"Mhm." Russia grinned.

...

English¹ - Old English existed around the time when the Vikings still existed, so Y/N was able to pinpoint that the others were using a different type of English.

Fun Facts:

1) Sweden tends to zone out frequently when the conversation is getting boring and repetitive.

2) Sweden was having his beauty sleep while Y/N was knocking on his door.

3) Denmark is a sculptor who gets random spark ideas during the weirdest situation.

4) If you weren't able to tell, Y/N likes to travel around and learn about other things. They won't stay put in the same spot.

Author's note:

On god, Wattpad is really hard to edit. It keeps on correcting things the way I don't want it to be 😭😭😭
I might see myself struggling to update this book and 'Perpetuity' in the future.

I updated this book before even touching on 'Perpetuity's new chapter because I got a random spark of inspiration for this :3
I gotta scratch my head to think about the new chapter for 'Perpetuity'.

A drawing of Y/N to help you picture how they look like if you'restruggling :3

(Skippable)

Their outfit consist of a mixture of how male and female Vikings would dress as, I know that Vikings are often portrayed wrongly so I gotta do them justice and research carefully of how they dress and act.

Vikings are like real tall, so Y/N will be tall for this book, sorry lads.

I know some words may not even exist in Old Norse and not any sense to make a pun with the icy jokes so forgive me. But I gotta do it.

Also found out an app that makes my life easier so I don't have to type out the chats.
