The Tale of Theo, Ruffian of Turtles.

Theo Lived a happy childhood on a remote small island in the Alchemist´s Archipelago. Every day he went coconut picking and fishing with his friends, so his mom and dad where able to cook amazing fish curries in the evening. His parents had a small garden for vegetables and herbs and where farming all day. They also had a goat, which they kept for milk and a pig, who was supposed to be slaughtered for Theo´s birthday, the day Theo would become a man, according to his tribe´s traditions.

But luck was not on Theo´s side. During the great feast on his birthday, a giant wooden beast arrived from the see. When the beast touched land, walking Iron Suits wielding shields and swords, disrupted the feast and started to slaughter his family and friends. Theo rushed into the shed and grabbed his father’s butcher knife. He didn´t know how to use the weapon, so he ran to his father for help. He found his father inside their families tiny wooden house. He was holding his mom in his arms. The whole room was covered in blood and there was an Iron Suit lying motionless on the ground. As Theo cautiously came closer, he saw that his mom wasn´t breathing either and his father was in teers and heavily wounded. He turned around, saw Theo and told him to run and defend himself, for Theo had never learned how to fight and was no match for the Iron Suits. His father quickly gave him the Shield of the dead Iron Suit, which was decorated with the head of a pony. Run! His father shouted as tree more Iron suits entered the house. Theo held the big shield above his head and ran away, as his father threw himself into battle.

Theo ran towards the only other place he knew, towards the only friend he had left. The Iron Suits where to heavily armed and so, not able to enter the dense vegetation in the center of the Island. Finally he arrived at the turtle pond. Where a dozen turtles where living. Theo was out of breath and wounded because of the spiky vegetation. Turtle Tom, the biggest turtle of the crew walked up to Theo and asked him what happened and why he was holding a shield and a butcher knife, but before Theo could answer, he heard a whistle like sound. A second later a rain of wooding stick with sharp points fell out of the sky. Without thinking it through, Theo raised his shield above his head, protecting Tom and himself from the deadly rain. Right before their eyes they saw how the other turtles screamed in panic before getting pierced by these strange, sharp objects. Tom shouted that they immediately had to hide in the secret turtle cave below the pond. So they did...

A day later Theo went to scout the Island, only to find death and destruction. Nobody was left except Tom and himself. There was no evidence of the presence of The Iron suits either, other than the shield Theo had obtained.

The years that followed, Tom and Theo lived their live to their best. Crafted combat clothing for Theo and spiked Tom´s shield. They Trained for hours every day, knowing that one day, they will get their revenge on the Iron Suits.
