Germany POV

G: Guys I translated more from the Tome!

We were on our way to Skara Brae. This neolithic settlement on the Orkney Islands was going to be our planned destination. I say was, because the recent translations stated something else.

G: Apparently the seal here is the seal for sky magic.

P: What's sky magic?

G: Apparently it's magic related to air and weather, mainly storms. The problem is I found the location, and it's in the south.

USA: Darn it! It's probably at Stonehenge.

G: Most likely. We should re-chart our course and head straight down.

Ame turns our car around. And I get shoved into Japan as we turn and SK gets shoved into me. We are stuffed in the back while Poland gets the front seat and Rus is in the trunk. Soon I hear shifting from behind my seat, so I move. The back of it folds down and Russia's head pops out.

R: Yo why are we turning?

USA: Germ here found out that the seal is in the south, so we are heading for Stonehenge.

R: Oh. I was wondering why I got pushed to the side.

We make our way down south, and stay at an inn overnight. We plan on heading to Stonehenge tomorrow.

[Time Skip]

We make our way to Stonehenge. Poland is looking over pictures of it before notifying us of a mysterious hole nearby to it. As we make our way to the structure, some security guards tell us how we aren't allowed past. We show them our ID, which allows any country to go into more classified areas. They mention something about how an old couple is usually the only ones who have similar IDs but let us pass. We search around for the hole and eventually find it. Poland leads the search followed by Russia, then America, then me, SK, and Japan. Rus and Ame are visibly trying not to fight which is nice for a change. We find catacombs underground, with patterns that represent flowing wind and lighting decorating the place. This is clearly it.

G: So guys, you should be on the lookout for a cyan disc that has a pattern representing wind around here.

SK: Ok. Then what do we do if we find it?

G: Shatter it. Smash it to pieces. Breaking it will release it's magic back into the world. But I'm not entirely sure what will happen.

P: What do you mean you're not sure?

G: Well I don't know if it will magic random people, if we have to wait for new children to have the magic. Basically, I'm not sure who will get the magic.

USA: Hopefully I do, I want magic powers.

R: A magic America is something I don't wanna deal with.

Ama and Rus start fighting and we eventually leave them to bicker by themselves. We soon see a fork in the road. Japan and SK decide to go left, while Poland and I go right. Eventually, we reach a room that's getting sunbeams from somewhere. Old relics cover the area, and decayed wooden tables are scattered around. We decide to search. Eventually, Poland speaks up.

P: Hey Germs, I found something.

G: What is it?

P: A cyan disc with a wind pattern on it.

G: Really!

I face him. He is indeed holding the seal of the sky. That is until he slams it on the ground. And hard. Suddenly, cyan magic bursts out and swirls around Poland.

P: Germany, what's happening?!

G: I don't know! I told you that!

Suddenly, the magic lunges at him. His eyes and mouth glows as the magic forces it's way inside. He then falls to the ground exhausted. I quickly rush over to him.

G: Poland are you ok? I think the magic got inside!

He then coughs and gets up.

P: Yeah. I think so. We should probably go tell the others we found it.

G: P-Poland?

P: What?

G: You have wings.

To large white bird wings have ripped through the back of his jacket and spread themselves out. As Poland notices this, he leaps back and let's out a large gust of air. He gets shot backwards before hitting the wall. He tells in pain as electricity surrounds him. He then falls down as the sparks disappear. SK, Japan, Ame, and Rus rush in after hearing us.

R: What happened, we heard noises!?

G: Poland has sky magic!

The look over to see Poland with his stretched out wings. The all look wide eyed before Ame interjects.

USA: What powers does he have specifically?

G: Uh, flight, weather control, lightning generation, and a few more.

USA: So COOL!

Ame gawks over Poland's wings and powers before we all realize that we should probably head back into the car, as Poland got hurt from launching himself into the wall.

[Time Skip]

We made our way back to the inn just as the sun set. We were careful to hide Poland's wings from onlookers and as we reach our room, he shoves off the blanket.

P: What did we get ourselves into?

G: Magic.

P: Yeah but I have wings! I can electrocute stuff! This is dangerous!

G: Only if it fell into the wrong hands. If we get all the seals, we could make sure nobody else gets the magic!

USA: Yeah! And we also get cool powers!

After enough convincing all the others agreed to continue, and we slept well that night.
