Dear Mom, Dad and the citizens of Wherton,
I am so sorry that I left you and everyone else. The reason I left Wherton is that, well, there are tons of reason. First, I met a guy named Ozymandias. He told me about a place called the White Mountain where freedom still last. Ozymandias also told me the plan and the way to go to the White Mountain. At first, I didn't want to go. Not leaving Mom and Dad. But after a second thought, I decided to go to the White Mountain to search for freedom. Because I know that Mom, Dad, and the rest of the people will lock me in my room and try many different ways to stop me from going to the White Mountain because you want me to become mature and forget about the childhood memories. But, isn't freedom important much more important than being mature? People change when they need to. You can't force them Mom, Dad. It is not what I want. That is the reason why I left you guys. Sorry Mom, Dad. I'll tell you what happened along the journey.
First, I met Ozymandias who told me everything about the White Mountains. He gave me a map to the White Mountain. He told me the plan. And this is the plan. One week after he leave, then I leave. So actually in that one week, I was stealing food from you at night. Then, on that very night that I leave, Henry came following behind me. He told me that he wants to go with me and he was kind of scared to get Caped. Even though we fought a lot in the past years, I let him follow me. We then took a boat trip that Ozymandias arranged and met Zhanpole which we call him Beanpole. He is kind. So don't worry. Even though we steal food along the journey, we didn't get caught.
Next, we reached to the city of the ancient and stole a few handfuls of "eggs" those eggs are like granite. Because you have to pull the ring out and then throw it. Then, we went to the Red Castle to rest. And there, I found my first love. Eloise. She is a pretty girl but she has to go to the Tripods city to work for them forever. To overcome this situation of leaving Eloise, I decided to carry on. But along the way, a Tripod picked me up and just like Jack said, I don't remember anything. Along the journey, we saw lots of Tripods in front of us. Like it stops and then when we past it, it comes out again like it knows where we are. After a while, when we stopped to rest, Beanpole noticed something underneath my torn sleeve. I felt it and felt not my skin but a smooth hard surface. Everything is clear now, I had been guiding the Tripods to us all the time. We tried to think of a plan but it will never work. So, in the end, Beanpole cut the metal off. It hurts but I think that it is worth it. I thought that we can now leave for the White Mountain safely. But I was proved wrong.
More Tripods came. We ran away with all our might holding an egg. One Tripod got me. I struggled but I couldn't get out. So, I threw the egg with all my might to the hole in the Tripod. After seconds, the grip of the Tripod started to loosen. And the next thing I know is that I fell down onto the ground with Beanpole and Henry helping me up. We ran away to the river so that they can't sense us. They searched for us all day long. Even at night. But thanks to Beanpole, we hid near a rock. For a few days or even weeks! One day, we didn't see the Tripods anymore so we came out. We carried on our journey and reached to the White Mountains. But one shocking thing is that, we saw two Tripods together, we hid but it didn't see us. It's like it's mating!
That's the journey that I wanted to tell you. Now, I'm a free men and I won't be Capped. I know what is love and I know what freedom is all about. Mom, Dad, don't worry about me anymore. You might be angry of how I am a cowardly when I ran away but after reading this letter, do you understand why I left? Thank you for understanding me. I miss you Mom, Dad.
Love,
Will
