Down the path, a figure stumbled. From his vantage point, Lindo could make out that it was likely Everson, who had been visiting almost every day since his father went to war. Everson's father happened to be Luego, the first-born son of the king's general. Despite being just 13 years old, Everson and Lindo, who was 15, were close cousins, almost like second cousins. Lindo, with his brown hair, stood tall for his age, donning a white shirt, black pants, and a long sword at his side. He also wore a black cape around his neck. As Everson approached, Lindo noticed something white in his hand. Lindo called out from atop the garden wall, asking, "What do you have there?" However, Everson remained silent, his face beaming with a broad smile.
Upon reaching the wall, Everson announced, "It's from Father. Come down quickly, come see it."
"Alright," replied Lindo, "go to the gate, I'll be there."
Everson was slightly shorter than expected for his age, with blackish-brown hair. He wore a white shirt and brown leather pants, along with a black habit draped over his shoulders, and he carried a lightweight long sword by his side. As he approached the gates, his smile faded. The gates remained shut. Was Lindo truly going to show up? Everson couldn't be blamed for entertaining doubts, especially considering Lindo had missed an appointment to join Everson for dinner just the other day. Just as one of the servants came around to open the gate, he greeted Everson, saying, "Good day, Lord Everson." Everson replied, "You too." Then, Lindo appeared around the corner and exclaimed, "Come, come to the garden with me." Everson followed, but Lindo stopped as he heard a call from his mother. "Could you ride to the castle and ask Gilmore, the gate guard if there's any news of how the war is going?"
"Oh, mother," replied Lindo, "I really can't now, Everson's here."
Just then, Lindo's mother's head popped out of the window above. "Alright then, I will send one of the servants."
With that settled, Lindo led Everson along the cobblestone pathway that wound its way to the garden. The garden was a sanctuary of blooming flowers, lush greenery, and tranquility. It was the perfect place for the two cousins to talk.
As they entered the garden, Lindo couldn't resist his curiosity any longer. "So, what did your father send you?" he asked eagerly.
Everson smiled and held up a small, delicately wrapped package. "It's a letter signed by both Father and Grandfather," he whispered excitedly. "I haven't opened it yet. Father said it contains important news about the war."
Lindo's eyes widened with anticipation. He knew how much Everson longed for updates on his father's well-being and the progress of the battlefront. Together, they found a nice spot on the wooden bench under a blooming cherry blossom tree, surrounded by the gentle sound of chirping birds and the sweet scent of blossoms.
"Could you read it, Lindo?" said Everson. "I don't like reading," he lied.
Lindo knew Everson couldn't read well, even though his father was rather strict about it, but still, Everson declined.
Lindo took the letter and carefully broke the seal and unfolded it. As he began to read, his face transformed from excitement to concern. "Everson," he said, his voice filled with a mix of worry and determination, "the situation is not as good as we thought. The enemy forces have gained ground, and Luego's army has suffered great losses."
Lindo's heart sank as his thoughts were consumed by the dangers his uncle and cousin were facing on the battlefield. Despite his young age, Lindo understood the gravity of war and the sacrifices it demanded. Everson, on the other hand, looked puzzled. He couldn't fully comprehend the magnitude of the losses in war. His father had always shielded him from the harsh realities, focusing instead on the glory and honor of serving their kingdom. Lindo hesitated for a moment, contemplating how to explain it to his younger cousin. Lindo took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to explain the situation to his younger cousin. He looked into Everson's eyes, his own filled with a mix of sadness and determination.
"Everson," Lindo began, his voice gentle yet firm, "war is a difficult and dangerous situation. It's not just about glory and honor. It involves sacrifice, loss, and the harsh realities that come with it."
Everson furrowed his brows, trying to grasp the meaning behind Lindo's words. "But Father always talked about the bravery of our soldiers and the victories they achieved," he said, his voice tinged with confusion.
"Yes, that's true," Lindo nodded, "but alongside victories, there are also defeats. The enemy forces have gained ground, and Luego's army has suffered great losses."
Everson's face paled, his eyes widening in shock. "But... but what does that mean for Father?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Lindo's heart ached for his cousin, knowing he had to be honest despite the pain it would cause. "It means that Father is in a dangerous situation," he replied quietly. "We have to pray for his safety and for the strength of our army to overcome this setback."
Tears welled up in Everson's eyes, and Lindo smiled slightly, forcing a smile, "Let's finish reading the letter. There's still more to learn." Lindo took a deep breath and read on.
My Dear son Everson,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. It pains me to inform you that the situation on the battlefield has taken a turn for the worse. Our forces have faced heavy losses, and the enemy has gained significant ground. It is a trying time for all of us, and I want you to know that your grandfather and I are safe for now.
War is a cruel and unpredictable mistress, my son. It tests our courage and resolve, but it also demands sacrifices. Many brave souls have fallen in this battle, heroes who fought gallantly for the kingdom. Their memory will forever be etched in our hearts.
During these dark times, it is essential that we come together in solidarity. You must remain strong, my son, Your presence and resilience are of great comfort to us.
I understand that this news may be difficult for you to comprehend fully. You are still young, and I have always tried to shield you from the harsh realities of war. But now, it is time to learn and grow. Now, it is time to understand the weight of our responsibilities.
We must not lose hope, Everson. Our people need our courage and determination more than ever. We must rally behind our king and general, supporting them in their endeavors to turn the tide of battle. Pray for their wisdom and the strength of our soldiers.
Remember, my son, that we are bound by blood and love. No matter how far we might be physically, our hearts are eternally intertwined.
May the stars guide and protect you, my dear Everson. Hold onto hope, and let it be the flame that lights your way through the darkest nights.
With all my love,
Your Father
Lindo choked back his tears and pushed the letter towards Everson. "My father's out there too," Lindo exclaimed, his voice full of emotion. Tears streamed down both boys' faces as they realized the gravity of the situation.

Start the next chapter with them talking t others mother
Chapter 2: A Mother's Resolve
Lindo and Everson sat in silence for a moment, their hearts heavy with the weight of the letter's contents. They knew they couldn't dwell on their fears and uncertainties alone. Turning to his cousin, Lindo made a firm decision.
"Everson," he said, wiping away a tear from his cheek, "we need to talk to our mothers. They deserve to know what we've just learned."
Everson nodded, his voice still trembling. "You're right, Lindo. We can't keep this news to ourselves. Our mothers have the right to be informed."
The two boys made their way back through the garden, their steps more cautious than before. As they approached Lindo's house, they could see both their mothers conversing on the porch. Lindo's mother, Lady Elora, spotted them first and immediately sensed the heaviness in their expressions.
She rushed towards them, concern etched across her face. "Lindo, Everson, what's the matter? You both look distraught."
Lindo took a deep breath, steadying his voice. "Mother, we have received a letter from Father and Grandfather. The war... it's not going well. The enemy has gained ground, and Father's army has suffered great losses."
Lady Elora's eyes widened with worry, a hand instinctively reaching for her heart. "Oh, my dear boy," she whispered, her voice quivering. "How is your father, Lindo? Is he safe?"
Lindo shook his head, his own emotions resurfacing. "We don't know, Mother. The letter didn't mention his safety specifically. But we must pray for him and all our soldiers. They need our strength and support now more than ever."
Everson's mother, Lady Adela, had joined them by now, her face pale with apprehension. She placed a comforting hand on Everson's shoulder. "Everson, my love, did you read the letter too?"
Everson sniffled, his voice fragile. "Yes, Mother. Father and Grandfather informed me of the situation. It's... it's worse than we thought. The losses are heavy, and they're counting on us to remain strong."
Lady Adela's eyes welled up with tears, but she maintained her composure. "We will stand strong, Everson. We will support our loved ones and our kingdom. Now, more than ever, we must come together."
It was a moment of realization for Lindo and Everson. They were not alone in their grief. Their mothers, too, felt the weight of the news and the uncertainty that lay ahead. In their shared pain, a newfound resolve ignited within them.
Lindo locked eyes with his mother, that familiar determination shining through. "Mother, we must not lose hope. We must find ways to support Father and Grandfather, to contribute in our own way."
Lady Elora nodded, her voice filled with determination. "You're absolutely right, my dear boy. We will do everything in our power to aid them. We will look for opportunities to assist our soldiers and bring hope to our allies. We are proud and strong, just like your father."
Lady Adela squeezed Everson's hand, her voice steady. "Everson, my love, your father is counting on us. We will stand by him, sending our prayers and unwavering support. Together, we will overcome this challenge."
The four of them stood on the porch, their hearts heavy but filled with a newfound resilience. They knew that the path ahead would be fraught with difficulties and sacrifices, but their love for their family and their kingdom was unwavering.
Lindo, Everson, Lady Elora, and Lady Adela locked arms, symbolizing their unity and unwavering commitment. They would face this challenging chapter together. With their love, determination, and a community of support, they would stand strong in the face of adversity. The journey ahead might be uncertain and perilous, but their bond would guide them through the darkest nights, reminding them of the love and hope that burned within their hearts.
