King Edward, the new king of England, had bombed Florida... This was the start of a new war.

I don't know how long I sat there, letting tears make waterfalls over my face, but once I got up I decided the best thing to do was write a letter. I walked towards my desk and grabbed a piece of paper and a quill pen. The first person I would write to,...

Philip. He was the one person who understood war. He had studied since he was small. He would know what to do. So that's what I did:
