However, upon reaching their house, their father told him that it was impossible for his condition to make it to the village, and the only thing that can save him is the water from the Tree of Life.
Determined to save their father, the two brothers set on a journey to find and bring back the “Water of Life.” But the journey won’t be easy; they need to face adversaries and must rely on another to survive. They must work together and fill each other’s weaknesses, and know what it really means to have a “brother.”
