REPORT FROM JOSH DURLER

Blood was spilled last night as the armies of Florence and Siena battled, one on one in the fight of San Romano. Tolentino, the leader of the victorious Florentine force, led his courageous army into the depths of war.

A witness reported,
"I watched my leader stick his vast razor-sharp sword into the air. As he yelled "ATTACK" my heart filled with fear and hesitation, but my muscles were filled with grit determination."

Tolentino told me, "Most people believe that if you are a leader you have to keep your head up, be strong and not have any fear. But last night I was scared."

The gold coloured spears shone in the light of the sun as men of courage and with brave hearts broke the barrier of insanity and lunacy as they ran into each other with only one thought in their minds, to kill the person in front of them.
