Description :
The story begins with the younger brother paying his respects at his mother's tombstone, who drowned at sea while he tried to save her. The elder brother calls him to help their ill father to the village's doctor, who in turn tells them the only way to save him is by collecting the waters from the Tree of Life. The brothers embark on their journey through the village, hills and mountains, while facing challenges such as the local bully, a farmers dog and wolves. They also help others along the way of their own adventure such as reuniting a friendly pair of trolls, saving a man attempting suicide and aiding an inventor. Eventually they reach a giants' castle and free a badly injured gryphon who helps them before succumbing to its injuries. The brothers press on through a valley of dead giants that went to war and save a girl from being sacrificed by tribesmen. The girl in turn helps them travel the glaciers avoiding killer whale-like fish and helping giant sea turtles. They arrive at an old town that was in the middle of a battle before everyone suddenly froze to death and the trio have to escape from an invisible beast that stalks the ruins of the town. After successfully defeating the monster, the girl starts romancing the older brother and tricks them to go into a cave much to the younger brother's dismay. Once inside she reveals herself as a monstrous spider and while trying to eat the elder brother, the two sons manage to thwart and kill her by pulling off her legs, but not before she mortally wounds the older brother.
