This story sure is good, and I wasn't far off from the reality of the story when I thought it would be two different stories being two brothers following a different path. The battle lasted a long time because fighting for three hours must be something that can leave you tired. I think I was shocked when I read the last part when it says that the earth swallowed him up.
Now we can only wait to see how the story continues, or if the next chapter will be the story of the other brother.
I can see that it is a very beautiful house, and also a very cozy home, I think that autumn suits that house very well.
I hope you enjoy your stay.
