"Your eldest brother, proud of his matchless skill, crossed blades with me to prove his treasured sword. But all his struggle came to nothing in the end, and helpless, he could only flee into the woods.
Your second brother was more foolish still, his heart so wholly set on you. I only borrowed your face for a moment, and there he came with that wooden blade in hand. Poor fool to the last, and in the end, his wish came to nothing.
