In a time when the civilization was young,
slippery traps of the death spread out everywhere
looking for the ones who were walking thoughtless through out the world.
It was in that tricky time that three brothers went
in a disturbing adventure and established their names within the imortal legends.
This episode was very famous among the territories.
There are people who believe that the story is just one of many fables
that the wind whispers into the ears of those who mess with the flow.
However, others think that it really was an amazing happening,
and after that day on, the world we know
has changed forever.
THE TALE OF THE THREE BROTHERS
Did you call me, dad?
I need to tell you a story.
But now?
I don't have much time son,
I fell that my life is coming to an end.
you need to know and pass on this story.
So, pay attention.
Long time ago, a man called Cadmus has lost tragically his bride,
a day before their marriage.
Perhaps, it was not the best decision, but Cadmus decided to leave his village.
He used to say that place was driving him crazy, because of the memories it called back to him.
Cadmus had two brothers: Antioch and Ignotus.
They liked and admired each other very much,
despite their differences and divergences.
Antioch and Ignotus decided they would not leave their brother alone in his solitary journey.
Hey, Cadmus!
Are you sure is that what you wanna do?
We already discussed it!
Yeah, but I thought that maybe...
Enough! I can't bear staying here anymore! It's intolerable to me.
Every place I look I can see her face.
If I could, I would go too.
Really? And that's because that damn duel of yours?
Exactly! That's all about that damn duel.
After that, people seem to have lost their respect for me.
STOP IT! It was always obvious that someday it was going to happen.
You always wanna duel with everybody!
Stop you two. Stop this discussion. I gotta go alone! I don't need you.
When I arrive there I'll send you an owl.
We already decided that and you are NOT going alone.
And then they went beyond the village's limits,
where Cadmus left his sad and moving story.
It's in the devious ways of life that we found in our true friends,
the strength not to give up at the first adversities.
Now we just have to follow the river, and soon we'll arrive at a city.
But ... why don't we stay at the city on the other side of the waterfalls?
You wouldn't stay there! They receive the foreigners in a very bad way.
What happened? Have you lost a duel there, too?
Ha, ha, ha... Very funny, Ignotus.
They walked for long hours that devious way following
the treacherous river that divided the land.
However, Cadmus' anguish squeezed his heart.
And his wish to depart the farthest he could from his birthplace,
bothered him awfully.
...of course, when I arrived there he was waiting for me.
I took my wand then when I was not expecting
a blue lightning appeared and ***!
There was an explosion on Mrs Black's window. Poor thing!
Sure I headed off in time... I won him with just a move of my wand.
This guy will never mess with me again.
Hey, what are ya doing?
That's all, Antioch. I'm gonna cross it by swimming.
You filth Muggle! Why we don't just apparate on the other side, so?
Are you crazy? We don't know what there is on the other side.
What if there is a bog or a tree or something like that?
I'll swim! I already said that! I don't need you.
If you want, come with me!
Right. Nobody is going to apparate or cross it by swimming.
What we must do is to build a bridge, so.
I'll get some wood.
Accio tree-trunks!
And then they built a bridge!
However without wondering what was waiting for them in the other margin.
They were five against me and they thought that they could win,
then I... Hey!
Hey, who are you?
Congratulations, my dear friends. So, you've mislead Death building this bridge.
Very clever!
For sure, crossing it by swimming, you’d have a painful end,
'cause your bodies would be eaten by the creatures that live under this water.
And if you have decided to apparate in this side,
you would sink in a devious bog that would eat you alive as quicksands do.
Are YOU here to get us? You won't without dueling with me...
- Don´t you do that! - No!
Please, if I'd get you, your rude manners wouldn't late me.
And as I was saying before, you won Death.
So, I intend to give you a prize.
Are you kidding?
I don't play with anyone!
Ask what you want and I'll honour my word.
So, we won Death and we'll receive a prize for it.
I...
I wanna be invincible.
I wanna have something... I don't want to lose any duel.
I want the ones who cross my way to feel sorry for doing that.
As you wish.
I'll give you... let me see,
ah, of course.
I'll give you the most powerful weapon.
With this wand you'll be invincible.
From now on, you won't lose any duel.
And you, young guy. What do you wish from me?
You took the one I loved and you hadn't right to do that.
I... I want to have the power to call back those you took away.
I understand.
Very well.
To you...
I'll give you this stone and with it you'll be able
to call from the dead, the ones you wish.
But remember:
you have to turn the face of the stone three times
having the people you wanna call back in mind.
Finally...
what do you want, young man?
I...
I wanna...
I wanna get out of here without you following me.
Right, then.
Take this cloak.
And the Death faded away, leaving the three brothers with their prizes.
I can't believe! I need to go back.
Go back?
- Where are you going? - What? WAIT!
Wait!
