Sacred and Minotaur were the King's sons. Of course, Sacred and Minotaur weren't their real names, but they had been known by the nicknames since they were children. Although they were brothers, the two men were very different. Minotaur was the oldest and also the biggest, but slightly on the slow side. Sacred was younger and smaller, but much smarter than his older sibling.
One day, the inevitable happened and the King died. He was interred into the tomb built for him on the outskirts of the kingdom and the two brothers stayed to mourn long after everyone else had gone home. They were heartbroken at losing their remaining parent and stayed it the tomb for days.
On the fifth day, they were joined by an unknown woman. The brothers, overcome with grief and not wanting to be bothered, ordered the stranger to leave. The woman refused and the brothers became angry. From an early age, the brothers had been taught to harness the powers of the earth and use it as magic. As long as they were in contact with the ground, their magic was unlimited.
When the mysterious woman refused to leave once again, the brothers attacked. They sent an earthquake hurtling towards the woman, who merely laughed and cast float on herself. Furious that their attack had failed, the brothers attacked again. This time she countered by casting float on the brothers. Losing contact with the ground caused the brothers to lose their power. They floated in the air helplessly as the woman pummeled them senseless. Finally the brothers could take no more and passed into death.
After the brothers had fallen, Hyne drew their souls from their bodies and trapped them in a maroon stone. She added the stone to her collection and left the kingdom to continue on her quest.
After the deaths of Sacred and Minotaur, the kingdom of their father fell into ruins and was eventually forgotten. Even though the tomb of the King survived the centuries, it was forgotten just who was buried in it.
