The Deathly Hallows

There were once three brothers who were traveling along, a lonely winding road at twilight. In time the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass. But, being learned in the magical arts the three brothers simply waved their wands, them said “Brengadiom Leviosa” and made a bridge. Before they could cross, however they found their path blocked by a hooded figure. It was Death, and the felt cheated.

Cheated because travelers would normally drown in the river. But, Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to avade him.

The oldest asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence, “give me the most powerful wand”. So Death fashioned him one from an elder tree that stood nearby. The second brother decided he wanted to humiliate. Death even further and asked for  a power to recall love ones from the grave. So, Death blucked a stone from the river and offered it to him,” this is for you,the resurection stone” . Finally, Death turned to the third brother. A humble man he asked for something that would allow him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death and so it was that Death reluctantly handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility.

Only when he attained a great age did the youngest brother shed the Cloak of Invisibility and give it to his son. He then greeted Death as  an old friend and went with him gadly departing this life as equals.

The elder wand,the most powerful wand ever made. The resurection Stone. The cloak of invisibility. Together, they make the deathly hallows. Together, they make one master of death.
