The Story

For all of your life you lived in the magical land of Arretue, working on your parents' farm.
You had never been any further than the local village, and enjoyed your idyllic life.
As you grew up, you heard stories about the evil king, Orcenohim, in the nearby land of Arretlam, but 
figured them to be rumors. Life was peacefull for you until a few months ago, when the king's
armies started to sweep across Arretue, seeking to conquer it.

When news of the invasion reached your village, most of the grown men and women prepared to
fight to defend Arretue. Since you were not yet old enough to leave and fight, you sat and
watched as they gathered their weapons and belongings and journeyed out to join up with
villagers from other parts of the land. For a few months, you were forced to stay back in
the village, helping take care of the children and elders left in the village. Messengers
constantly brought news of what was now turning out to be a large-scale war. Orcenohim had
effectively taken control of the capitol of Arretue, but revolutionaries were keeping him
from taking any of the smaller villages spread out in the mountains and forrests.

Just last week, you became old enough to leave the village and join the fight. By now, the
first wave of villagers had already reached the capitol, meaning that you would have to journey
alone. You packed what little food you had, and left the village. You must now fight your way
through the countryside, defeat the troops sent out by Orcenohim, and try to reach the capitol
to join the other villagers. Good luck!
