CupTale "Prologue"
Once upon a time, in a magical place called Inkwell Isle, there were two brothers named Cuphead and Mugman. After making a nasty sly deal with the devil, they had successfully beaten him at his own game and managed to win the hearts of many after releasing their souls from the demon's grasp. Under the loving care of Elder Kettle, Cuphead and Mugman lived happily ever after without a care as they played and played across the Isle from dawn 'til dusk.
One day a mysterious mountain appeared out of nowhere in front of elder Kettle's house. Legends had foretold that anyone who had climbed this mountain never return. They called it: Mt Ebott. Unfortunately, Elder Kettle had all too forgotten to warn the boys of this legend, and Cuphead, out of so much excitement, ran off with his best pal Mugman in hand, despite the poor latter's worries and protests.
"Cuphead!" Mugman cried out as they ran through the forest up the mountain. "We promised each other we would never run into anymore trouble!"
"Aww, come on pal!" Cuphead winked to his best pal. "We're not 'running' into trouble. We're running to adventure!" He cried as he raised his fist like they were off to war.
Blinded by his excitement, he tripped on a very thick stray vine on the ground and they both fell into a great big hole. Down, down into the darkness while screaming in fear, the two mugs fell deeper, and deeper into more trouble…. (It was at this moment they knew…. They f! #&* up).
