The Brothers Three

Long ago, three brothers were born to a humble living in a far off country. As they grew up, it became apparent that they were everything but ordinary. There has long since been rumors of these brothers accomplishing deeds and reaching realms that no mortal ever even dreamed of reaching. Warriors, Lords, Kings, and eventually, even Gods; the brothers were feared by all existences in this world due to the power they held, to the point that even a mere rumor that one of the brothers was stopping by in a certain country gave that country the power to be feared by all and remain safe for years. But that's all they were known to be, just mere rumors - legends... The brothers eventually disappeared from the world. This story does not begin where you may think it will. No. That isn't this type of story. This isn't the story of three young brothers setting out into an unknown world to become legends. All of that has already happened. A new tale begins now. It's the story of what happens when the legends are already old. When every mountain worth climbing has been climbed. When every enemy worth beating has already been defeated. When the names of those who once stood beside you have faded from history and the kingdoms you fought to protect have risen, fallen, and been forgotten... The Brothers had reached the end of their adventure long ago. Or at least, that was what they believed. For thousands of years, they had stood at the summit of the world, so far beyond ordinary men that there was little left capable of surprising them. They had fought creatures thought to be immortal, challenged the very Gods that created them, wandered lands that weren't on any maps... There were no more mysteries. There were no more great enemies. There was nothing left to discover. And then, one of the three Brothers disappeared. The legends they had spent their lives creating? It was merely the prologue. This is a story of those legends, but not in the sense that one might assume. There are no heroes in this story.
