The Heroic Adelfos

“I have desired this for a long time now, and I tend not to give up the opportunity to treasure this alone”, brusted out Theus. He had stolen the only prized possession of his ancestors and let his brother fall off the cliff. Natheus and Theus were best of the brothers; they would sacrifice the world for each other, both equally charmed with beauty and knowledge but there was something about them that no one knew their desire to get hold of the cherished Marshall that great warriors aren’t able to get hold of. They had trained for many days and practiced all the necessary activities to acquire it. Though, there is always evil existing in this world that wants to separate both of them. Both were once walking around their beautiful kingdom talking regarding the businesses. Natheus said, “Adelfós, Today is that day where we would acquire the greatest power and possession”. That night both the brothers snuck out of their lavish kingdom in the greed of power that their heart has been longing for. They came near the caves they had been dreaming of. As they entered they witnessed their first task that was to cross the hot lava filled river. Natheus shouted towards him, “Gather wood from around and let’s start working”. They cleverly enchanted the wooden slippers with dark magic that helped them cross it like this; they used it to cross hot coal and poisonous scorpions and snakes. At last the final task stands ahead of them, that giant leap they have to complete. Theus crossed that cliff with one step while Natheus struggled, Theus took the Marshall from him and said, “You jump I will catch you Adelfós”. There was total silence as Natheus leaped forward waiting for Theus to catch him but that never occurred. Natheus now had met the floor where he was drenched in blood and took his last breath. Theus in glory screamed, “I have desired this for a long time now, and I tend not to give up the opportunity to treasure this alone”. Blinded with glory and fame he rushed back home now being the owner of the Marshall and spreaded a fake rumor of Natheus’s death. A decade later people discovered Natheus’s body and built a bridge across the cave naming it “The Heroic Adelfós'', Unaware of the real misery that took place in those caves. Natheus’s death is known as heroic death while people are still unaware that it was betrayal that could break their heart. The 2 brothers were separated due to the greed of one of them.
