The Brothers Revenge is a long story (total of
about 2-3 minutes to read…) and it went into some great detail into one of the
brother’s demise. Something I didn’t want to show in the animation,, onscreen
deaths.. Granted the story itself is not exactly child friendly. But I intend
to keep my version to around pg-13(maybe)…meaning no one screen blood/gore, or
onscreen deaths, no this will be done though the mind, via sounds and music. To
give the impression that something “bad” happened.

Retold by S.E Schlosser
So for my version I will only focuses on them
main key details, and skip others. Mainly cutting out the dialog.
Start (arrival)
Winter was fast approaching…
Two brothers were walking down a road looking
for a place to rest when they find a tavern. As they push their way through the
doors of the Tavern every person in the room turns to look at them. Shortly
after, they all went back to their conversations all but one person, a rather large
butcher with red hair and a long red beard. The Butcher continued to watch them
as they moved towards the fire, towards him
Middle (brothers death)
The elder boy accidentally strikes the
Butcher on the arm as the pass by There was a moment of stunned silence in the
saloon as the Butcher grabbed the elder boy by the collar as the Butcher moves
towards the fireplace the yonder brother tries to grab his brother. But he’s
pushed back s the butcher threw the elder boy headfirst into the huge fire, as
the flames engulfed him from head to toe the Butcher turned his attention to
the terrified younger brother.
The Butcher grins sadistically as the younger
brother tries to beat out the fire with his small hands. The Butcher loomed
above them as he throws the younger brother through the doors. As the flaming
boy lost consciousness the younger boy gasped in fear and flees for his life
into the woods.
End (brothers revenge)
Some time passed after the event, the Bucher was
walking down a road that the brothers once walked. As he walks down the path he
becomes aware of a sudden silence no wind no bird songs, nothing but his
footsteps and a 2nd set of footsteps of a large animal following
him, and stopping as he stops.
As he turns around the gaze of a large black dog
as large as an ox with blazing blue eyes greets him. The Butcher recognizes the
eyes. The eyes once belonged to the small boy on that day.
A the Animal takes a step towards him, he turns
to flee he finds himself face to face with a wall (glowing) figure covered top
to toe in flames.. as the flaming figure reaches out to the Butcher with
hands withered and blackened by the flames. Before the Butcher can make a sound
the boys hands are upon him..
The Butcher is dead before he hits the floor,
with blood coming from his mouth, nose eyes and ears.
(believe it or not. this IS condensed)
