Anna-chan in Island Land (PRIVATE attn. Kannadrickia)

[AHSCA]

"Terrific, I'm so happy you like our own cuisine here! All right consider that a done deal we'll export rice, fruits and coffee beans to you. And tea leaves I cannot forget those!"

[Kannadrickia]

"Oh ya, not much tea is grown in Kannadrickia. Are there things that your people want from Kannadrickia?"

[AHSCA]

"Oh well you're kindly building us a cinema but what else does Kannadrickia have to offer? I'm eager to know more what your nation specializes in"

[Kannadrickia]

"Well, we produce a lot of entertainment related merchandise, such as music, video games, movies, books and so on."

"In regards to food we also produce a lot of confectionaries and various drinks."

[AHSCA]

"I see." She thought on it a bit "Toys and physical games good for young children and books for all would be the best in that case. I'm sure some vendors would even be willing to sell specialty foods or drinks famous from your country."

[Kannadrickia]

"That would be terrific! My ambassador will make the necessary arrangements."

[AHSCA]

"Wonderful! All right so that takes care of trade deals is there anything else you want to talk about or ask me?"

[Kannadrickia]

"Well, I thought we could go see some of the tourist attractions in your country."

[AHSCA]

"Oh certainly, I'd like to show you some parts of Aurora Island." She stood up eager to get out for a while "The best place to start would be the town center. I don't know how much you saw when you arrived off the ship but it's the heart of our fair country. Asuna" she called for her bodyguard who entered upon being summoned and she took a knee "At your Command, Milady"

"The Queen and I would like to go out so if you'd please round up an an extra guard or two and escort us."

"As You Wish." She summoned her fellow Knights over who assembled. Marcella turned to Anna. "Oh, Queen Kendrick since you have decided to stay here, I'll have your things brought to your state room."

[Kannadrickia]

"Oh thank you, that's very kind of you." replied Anna.

[AHSCA]

"It's our pleasure, I'll have a maid turn down and unpack your things for you as well. Now, shall we?" She gestured for Anna to follow her and with the guards trailing behind them. "Sometimes I like to go without security but with a guest as important as you, I felt it'd be best to have some guards with us."

[Kannadrickia]

"Oh, I'm not sure if that's necessary." replied Anna.

[AHSCA]

"Oh it's just good to be safe. I do promise AHSCA is a very safe place but a handful of security is vital. I'm not sure your ambassador will be happy if you and I were to just go out and about without some kind of security."

[Kannadrickia]

"Well, I suppose you're right." replied Anna.

[AHSCA]

"Very good." She escorted the Queen along out of the royal grounds into the heart of the village of Aurora Island which was crowded and bustling with people, shops shouting deals from every corner. "Public baths are here you might consider going during your stay here.

"Your Majesty," A Woman Shopkeeper beckoned her "Something I can get you today?"

"Not today, thank you very much."

"Please see us again soon."

They came upon a stone wall with named etched in.

"Right here this stone wall is our memorial to our independence and everyone who laid down their lives for it."

[Kannadrickia]

"Oh." Anna went silent for a moment.

"Could you tell me more about your country's struggle for independence?"

[AHSCA]

"Yes, we've been often loosely clustered or occupied or occupying for different points in our history. For a while our path to independence and becoming a nation state was to be trusted and colonized. As such as our decolonization began others moved in to take advantage. A group of lonely poor islands down here, not many paid much mind when we were invaded. My mother stood firm in the face of our occupiers and she was taken as a POW for it. She still has nightmares about it. Those who met to draft our nation's declaration of independence were doing so at great risk to their lives and family's lives too. Chief of Corona his name was Kino" She ran her hand over his name which was etched. "The departed Husband of Current Chief Ayla. She wanted to stay and fight but he felt she should hide so she could carry on." She fell silent a moment wiping a lone tear that came into her eyes.

"In the end many died but we made it through. You've probably gathered our weather is quite dramatic here. Well it was a major storm that stopped the fighting long enough for a treaty to be drawn up and for us to be recognized. It still took longer for us to be fully recognized by the world. But here we are today. By the sounds of things, Kannadrickia is a very calm peaceful place and I hope by grace of The Goddess of Light that I worship, it always remains that way, Dear Queen Kendrick."

[Kannadrickia]

"Ya, Kannadrickia is pretty peaceful. I'm sorry for your loss though."

[AHSCA]

"Ah it's quite all right. It's been many years since then. I was born just after the war so I didn't have to grow up with the experience of it. I also didn't mean to bring you to such a solemn place while on a visit to our nice lands, old habits when I go through my usual route I walk when I want to meet and greet with people."
