Deer Spike.

How are you? I am fine. *Inkblot* I am no logner longer grownbeb. This meens I can go and visit yuo you. Mi momma mother says that she wood like to meet you first as yo u are a straingr. If this is not good then i can visit with mi godfather, Cratz Kratz.

*ink dribble*

Mi sistur wood like to now why you are called Spike. She sayz it is a stupid bad name and you must look like a hors. Our horss have horns. I have lernd that a lot of places horss do not hav e horns. I th ink this is sille be cause the hross horss do not have a way to pro tect them selvs. What do you think?

I hope to heer frum yo u soon.

Dear Alexander,

Hallo mate. I got your letter. It was very good to hear from you and I am glad you aren't grounded anymore. I will be happy to meet your mum any time. What is your god father like?

I have got a god sire, his name is Drakus. He is cranky a lot and sometimes sort of a bully and a brute. But he can be nice when he feels like it.

He has a boy named Corvo. We are mates. You would like him I bet. If your mum says yes maybe you can come visit him with me some time. His world has dragons too but they are bigger and eat only fruit.

Tell your sister her petticote is showing. Spike is not a stupid name it's a good name. I am called Spike because it is a tough name.

Our horses have got sharp hooves and they can bite.

I have asked Bert to write his sire for me about the faerie dragons but I have to hear back from Ryan's mum and Drakus to make sure Corvo and Ryan can have one. This waiting is bollox a bit of a pain.

We are going to my Sire's country house soon. This will be brillient cos I will have lots of space to run about and play properly. It snowed here! Do you have snow?

I am going to make a fort if there is enough snow in Blankshire. And also take Dru skating and have a snowball fight with Ralph and Bert and Murphy.

Murphy is a prizefitter and Angelus says we can set up a fight and I can watch.

That is all my news for now. Tell your mum she can name a place and time and I will meet her any time she likes. Except tonight cos we are going to be on the train.

Sinceerly,

Spike Aurelius.

My god father is a witch. He is very old. He was old when my da father was old yong. He is strikt but nice. He takes care of sic peoqle.

She says she does not care and that Spike is still a silee name.

I hope Berts sire says yes! Wayting is al ways hard.

Yes I have snow. There is a lot of it now. I liv in the mountains and so I have a lot for a long time. When it is reely cold we get to have cider be for we go to bed.

Jono and I like to sit on walls and throw snow bals at people. Ther is a pond in a park near bi where we go skayting. Laruna is very good but that is because she is a water wizard. I am getting beter.

I will tell my Mother and then you.

What is a train?

Sinceerly
