Good day to you Sir. I am Lady Orga. I am a wandering Story teller. I wander from land to land telling the stories of the greatest heroes who have roamed our wonderful world.

Today I would like to tell you the Story of one of the greatest Heroes of Fantoria. The great General Theo Sadi! Have you heard of this legendary man?

No? then sit back as I tell you his tale.... Very good.

Many, many years ago Fantoria had declared war on the Saurons to the west. The reptillian Saurons were a constant threat to humanity! They raided Fantoria and used to kidnap people and take them to their caves and feast apon them!

Odok was king of Fantoria at this time and he was furious with their ungodly practices. Odoks spies had heard news of a huge Sauron army that was preparing to invade the southern nation of Helglund

This great reptillian army was lead by a human Sorcerer named Beak. Beak had managed to bring these Saurons under his control through the power of his infernal magic.

Odok summoned his best General to lead his forces. This General was Theo Sadi. Theo had once been a mighty Knight but was at an age where his strength was fading. However Theos tactical knowledge of warcraft was great and he had won many battles for Odok in the past against the Sauron threat.

Theo's greatest strength was his unpredictability. He would come up with unconventional tactics which would take his opponents by surprise. He gladly took up the challenge of repelling the invasion of Helglund.

Instead of force marching his troops, Theo made his army travel via river on river barges, this was an unconventional move and took the Saurons by surprise as they were expecting The fantorian army to march to Helglund and had even set up ambushes on the roads.

Theo and his Fantorian army soon arrived at Helglund and prepared to do battle with Beak and his reptiles. Theo led his troops into a glorious battle that will long be remembered in the history of the world. The Fantorian troops fought like ferocious beasts.

The Saurons could'nt stand and fight with them! Theo personally fought in this battle and had gotten close to slaying the wretched Sorcerer Beak but Beak had cast a spell on Theo and Theo went insane!

Theo had become so crazy that he had ordered his beloved Regiment 13 to turn on the other regiments. The men of regiment 13 were fanaticly loyal to Theo and followed his orders to the letter and soon Fantorian was killing Fantorian! It was a military disaster and taking advantage of this chaos Beak and his Saurons were able to escape the battlefeild alive.

Realising that Theo had gone mad the Fantorian army turned on Theo! By the time Theo had recovered his sanity he realised that things had gone bad for him and he was hated by his own nation!

Many thousands of Fantorian troops moved in on Theos position hoping to slay the traitor. But they did not realise that Theo was innocent and had been befuddled by Beaks enchantment.

However Theos beloved redgiment 13 were staunchly loyal to Theo and would defend him to their final breaths. Redjiment 13 fought their own Army to defend Theo. And this allowed Theo and 10 loyal soldiers to escape to his ship which was called "The Black Cat." that was waiting in a nearby river.

Regiment 13 was overwhelmed and anniahilated by the Fantorian army, they had fought with unlimited bravery and bought Theo enough time to sail away in his Caravel. And with his small crew of 10 soldiers who piloted the boat they sailed down the river and made their getaway into the southern ocean.

Theo had recovered his sanity and when he realised what he had done he was forlorn.
However Theo had a problem, he and his men were considered traitors and fugitives. And the Fantorians were determined to hunt him down like a dog! Theos honor as a great General had been destroyed and he was now considered a most foul villain in his homeland.

The Black Cat sailed off into the great southern Ocean and Theo wondered what he could do to remedy his situation. Night soon came and Theo went below deck and had a conference with his second in command Lefttenant Foster. In Theos private Cabin.

"Its a disaster Foster! This was not my fault!" said Theo to Foster.

"As you say Sir." said Foster "But you were the one who ordered us to attack our own troops so it is you who are responsible! But do not fear sir we of regiment 13 will always protect you!

"I commend you for your loyalty Foster!" responded Theo who was wearing chainmail and a blue colored robe. "But I want you and your remaining men to know that I was under Beaks enchantment and therefore I was completly innocent!"

"But how will you prove that to King Odok?" asked Foster.

"How indeed?" exclaimed Theo "I will have to ruminate on this matter and come up with an answer!"

Theo thought long and hard through the night, and he realised Odok would never forgive him for what had happened. The old general laid back on his bed and thought of the past..

He remembered the time when he was a great warrior feared by all, He was muscular powerful and dominant, now he was a shadow of his former self an old hasbeen destined to live out his final years in banishment.

But something in him yearned for a new start a new beginning, perhaps the events that had taken place were a sign from the gods. A sign to make a new beginning for an old and tired General.
