England rescues America from the fairies. Except by “England” I mean Japan. And by “America” I mean Greece. And by “rescues...from the fairies” I mean, “Hi, this is an obscenely late sequel.”
Also, I’ll be posting flavor music for each chapter. The one I’m posting here is is by one of my top ten favorite artists ever, and this particular song has both Greek and Japanese in it, apparently. It doesn’t quite fit the chapter, but this is kind of what I think the “OP song” sounds like.
A man of great power and magic lived in a town where towers of stone and iron stood proud in the sunlight. They cast their shadows down upon the humble temples, instead beckoning his eyes skyward. And so the man forgot the temples, forgot the magic that dwelled inside of him. Without his offerings and prayers, the gods skittered across temple floors like leaves.
One day, the man came back from a great journey with a changed soul and eyes no longer fixed to the great towers. And as he looked at the world around him, he spotted something he’d never seen before.__

ReCAPTCHA seems to rear its ugly head more when it encounters ALL CAPS posts, probably in reaction to spammers and trolls being more likely to use caps lock to get people's attention. :'D

Oh man, this makes me happy just reading it! :D
Kiku's situation is heart-wrenching, and I love the whole dream-like quality for the chapter, how everything seems slightly removed from reality. I can really imagine it animated and how it would work.

OMGOMGOMGOMG *flails like an Italified Kiku*
I remember reading your fabulous Croatoan fic eons ago and being sad that the planned-for Japan/Greece sequel was never done but accepting it.
But now you're actually continuing it and with my favorite Hetalia pairing to boot and omgomgomg I can't wait to see Kiku's own journey and just what he did to make Heracles flee to the other world. Kiku seeing Arthur and Alfred all happy together is already tugging at my heartstrings here, ffff.

Really looking forward to this, and I think the "Kiseki" song you posted is so befitting of this tale! I'm totally hooked on it now.
