Chapter One: Loss and Oath

Long ago, among the hills of Scotland, lived a boy named William Wallace.

It was a time of constant war.

The King of England tried to rule Scotland.

Villages were burned, and people lived in fear.

William’s father and brother joined the fight against oppression.

One day, they never returned.

Standing by his father’s grave, William felt loss for the first time.

His uncle took him away from the land.

Far away, William learned to read, think, and endure.

His uncle told him, “Wisdom is stronger than the sword.”

Many years passed, and war seemed far away.

William grew into a quiet and determined young man.

He did not long for battle, but for peace.

At last, he returned home.

The village remained, and so did the mountain winds.

William hoped to begin anew here.

He swore to stay away from war.

But fate had prepared another path for him.

On this land, freedom was still taken away.

And the story of William Wallace had only just begun.
