Aikka sat on his bedroom floor. He was supposed to be studying the Norasian Civil War, but all he could do is stare out the window and remember what his father had said to him.

i "The most important thing to do as ruler is to protect the people of this land as well as those of other lands." The King's said his voice low. "If starting a war means that innocent lives will be lost, on either side, it's better to surrender or try to reason." /i

Why had his father given him such odd advice? Aikka knew that he was too someday be the succeeder of the great Norasian Empire, but that wasn't going to happen for a while… right?

A knock came from Aikka's door and he quickly stood up. "Yes?" he asked, before the door opened and a messenger came in and bowed at the prince before giving him an envelope. "This message just came for you sir."

"Thank you." Aikka said taking it from the man. With another bow he left Aikka alone with the letter.

Aikka looked down to see the words "Molly Wei" scribbled in the top left corner. Aikka's eye's widened as he ripped open the envelope with shaking hands.

i "Dear Aikka,

I'm doing fine too. (Molly took this space to draw a little smiley face) I can't wait to see the Norasian castles."

Her handwriting was scribbled and hard to make out.

"And yes, Christmas was the 25th, it was real fun. People used to celebrate it because of this guy named Jesus… but now people just celebrate it to be together with family and friends…and of course to get presents. I got a new coat from my dad, and a stuffed doll from Koji. Stan gave me a set of tools, and Rick got me a new mp3 player. After opening the gifts, We all helped to make Christmas dinner, it was really tasty.

Do you celebrate anything like that in Norasia?

Looking forward to your reply.

Love,

Molly." /i

An odd look came over Aikka, he had a silly looking smile on his lips and a blush rose to his cheeks.

i Love….

Love… Molly.

She Love's me… /i
