There was once a Wand of Elder…made by the ulna bone of Death…
And then with it a Stone of Resurrection…made of the right eye of Death…
And finally the Invisibility Cloak…made from the skin of Death…
And there was one a pale man with dark hair and yet he's not a man nor was he one of the living. He moved through his existence always alone and always feared and for someone that all will meet, his path was filled loneliness. So he decided to pass his time by creating events that will make those who ran from him forced to face him. But his loneliness does not go away.
He grew from warm and welcoming to cold and jaded. He became from merciful to cruel. He both loved and detested life for his duty was to take it and crush it. Yes, he was Death.
So the cycle and dance between Life and Death continue ever onward until Death, in his jaded pastime met three men. They came across one of his many 'invitation' but have the means to bypass it. Cross and angered that he has been cheated of his 'company', he confronted them. Three brothers they were, and in his curiosity of the nature of these creatures whose existence were on which he was dutifully bound to take away, offered them a boon in a secret exchange for the knowledge of their company with each other.
One demanded victory from him and he gave him the means to strike those who oppose him.
The other wished to see which was taken from him and he gave him the sight to see beyond the Veil.
But the Third Brother…sensed more. His boon was the most painful for Death for to depart with his shroud was to skin him. But he pretended as if it was nothing. After the meeting, Death followed them separately.
The First Brother, pompous and arrogant, declared himself matchless and in his foolish arrogance, showed them his boon. A month passed and his story spread afar. It wasn't long for his arrogance paid him his price. Death decided that this bigheadedness was not the secret to keeping company.
The Second Brother was a heartbroken fellow who desired which was taken from him. Death watched as he first delight with the Sight given to him but then noticed that Dead does not wish to suffer the Living for she, his lost beloved, was filled with so much jealousy and regret that she caused him to suffer the same. A year passed and he took his own life. Death decided that forcing his company was not the way to go.
The Third Brother with the last boon was hard to find. True to his promise, Death has granted him his chance to elude Death completely. So Death waited in loneliness for the brother. Soon, after many years, Death felt the call to his soul and when he went there, the last brother greeted him like a friend. Death has found his answer but did not know how to keep his company everlasting.
So he left his boons among the Living, vowing to find a way to keep his company.
