Tome

My class was tasked to make a tome for a video game. We had to think about who is writing it? What era is the message from? Is the person writing this dead or alive? And so on and so on. The first thing I thought was to make the message based in a really old era. I actually incorporated this with another task we had to do which was to make a steampunk invention so a really old steampunk era is what I was aiming for. The idea for this is that a deceased mother wrote her daughter (or player) a letter a explaining the decisions she made to protect her. I hope it's not TOO corny/cheesy/cliche but I just wanted to make something sweet and sad. Sorry about the writing, I tried to make it look like the mother was in a rush to write it as if the enemies were close to getting her. It also helped that I have really horrible hand writing XD.


If you can't read it, it says "My  dearest  Bell, it  breaks  my  heart  for  you  to  find  out  this  way  but  please  understand  I  did  this  to  protect  you.  It  is true  that  I did  abandoned  you  but I knew  that  I would  be  followed  and  that  we  both  would  be killed  once  I  was captured.  To  give  up  was  the  was  the  hardest  decision  I  had  to  make  and  I  only  pray  that  you  can  forgive  me.  I  know  that  when  each  day  goes  by  that  you  will  grow  and  become  wiser  and  stronger  just  like  your  father.  Please  know  that  I  will  always  love  you  and I  hope  you  can  forgive  me."
