Taken by his conscience and lust of the Elder Wand's power, the eldest brother boasted of this wand gifted by Death and his own invincibility. Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the eldest brother walked to an inn not far from the duelling site and spent the night there. He sought out a duel and fought the wizard using the wand, instantly killing the latter. The eldest brother travelled to a village where a wizard whom he had quarrelled lived. The three brothers took their prizes and soon went on their separate ways. A reluctant Death, most unwillingly, handed over his own invisibility cloak. The third and youngest brother, who was the most humble and wise, did not trust Death and asked for something to enable him to go forth without Death being able to follow. Death granted his wish by crafting the Resurrection Stone from a stone picked from the riverbank.
The second brother, an arrogant man, chose to further humiliate death, and asked for the power to recall the deceased from the grave. Death granted his wish by fashioning the Elder Wand from a branch of a nearby elder tree standing on the banks of the river. The eldest brother, a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. Death cunningly pretended to congratulate them and proceeds to award them with gifts of their own choosing. The figure was the enraged spirit of Death, cheated of his due. Halfway through the bridge, a hooded figure stood before them. Learned in the magical arts, the brothers conjured a bridge with their wands and proceed to cross. Three brothers, travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight reached a deep treacherous river where anyone who attempted to swim or wade would drown.
