One day, when liquid went to fetch his brother some water, he found that the stream was barely dry and unfilled so he decided to travel further downstream. In the lake there was usually a ton of water, but he found it bare with no water there, so he began his journey to find water for his brother.
But for six whole years, he traveled around the Greece looking for fresh water, but when he came back to his small village, he found his brother dead he had died of dehydration and liquid became very depressed. Because of his brother's death, he felt like he was the only thing in the world that he had and know he lost. His brother was as dead as a door nail.
Liquid became very depressed and started not to eat or drink, he felt so lonely, he just felt empty. Without his brother, the one thing that always kept him going wanting to wake up in the morning, really wanting him to live was gone.
So on days past, then months, and then years. Liquid, no matter what he tried to do, he always thought about his thirsty, dehydrated, dead, little brother.
Liquid became very sick, he was dehydrated like his brother, but he also was also sick because of a deadly disease called smallpox.
One day, he could not stand it any more he felt like he had nothing else to live for and so he took some small but strong wire from the little shack that he lived in and so he headed off into the woods where he would see the final things he ever would on earth.
The liquid’s body was never found, but he traveled the painful journey that all mortals travel when they die and that is the trip to the house of Hades where all mortals reside after death, it was hell.
There it was gloomy, dark, and scary for liquid.
Months had passed and the drought carried on in the mainland, but he had no idea being in this creepy droopy eerie painful underworld.
But suddenly, one day when all hope seemed lost something appeared out of the mist and it said drink from the cup and so he did what the stranger asked of him, considering he had nothing else to do but the second he swallowed the water his body began to change he had no idea what was going but when his body stopped changing he looked at himself and he felt like a god.
