A long time ago in the deep dark forest of Astrum lived two brothers named Josephus and Tomas. These two brothers were always getting in trouble, trying to outdo each other. The two were always in competition against one another. When one jumped, the other had to jump twice as high.

One day their competitiveness had gone too far. As usual they could be found in the field romping and playing. This day was like no other though.
