bigger brother

There have always been rumors, that the crazy Geud had been with Milard, the music goddess, in his youth, though everyone meant it as a joke, for Geud was crazy and yet the greatest composer of the time.
There have also been tales from time to time about duels of Eugenie, Geud's wife, and Millard. The crazy Geud had always been such a heartbreaker that it was no wonder to know he had even turned the goddess down. In fact, everyone wondered what kept Eugenie with him after all these years. The answer was simple, after the troubles they both made; the judge had condemned them to stay together for the rest of their lives.
The only person who was of extreme importance to Geud and for whom he'd sacrificed anything, was his daughter Honey.

Millard knew how to aim this, but she had underestimated hazard.
What no one knew, including Geud, was the birth of the two sons Millard had from her time with Geud and... well, you know how gods' feelings are for their siblings, especially if they are half siblings.
The first son had been given no name, for Millard strongly believed he should be named by his father. In fact, Millard did not like him much and believed it was after his birth that Geud started to lose his temper. In revenge, Millard tried to ignore the existence of her older son as an individual. That was why he knew everything and was trusted with every little secret of his mothers. He was no half god and had taken much after Geud, but at the same time been gifted to be able to change his looks whenever he wanted.
The second one, Liew, 4 years younger, was a blessing to Millard. She adored the little kid and planned great future for him. Shortly after his birth she moved out with her sons to where no one knew and started living like mortals, so the little Liew never suspected his mom to be a goddess and his brother, a god. He did not even know who his father was and due to his hatred for the man who had left his mother, his brother and him, he never showed any interest.
This was one of the secrets big brother had been told and he never felt any negative notion for the father. In fact, he even thought the crazy Geud was much better off with Eugenie and this was to everyone's interest.
Liew grew up gifted with music from his mother while no one ever knew what his big brother was up to, to Millard's favor, he always remained a shadow.
Liew happened to be a big fan of Geud's as a composer, which was nothing unexpected from any young musician of the time. At the age of 19, he left home, seeking Geud's lessons. It was impossible that the great maestro could turn such a talented student down and finally, he got what he deserved, so he had to stay far away from home.
The big brother, knowing how rejective Liew was in general, nevr liking bigger half of the world, decided that Liew was not to be left completely on his own.
Milard warned him that Geud should not find out anything about his having sons. She had already convinced Liew that his brother had accidentally killed a politician at the age of 14 and that Interpol was after him, so for his own sake, they were not to mention that their family had a third member. And he looked like Geud, just because with his own face, he was to be easily recognized.
So the visits he paid Liew remained secret and big brother went out with Liew's face, not to draw any attention. It was just too easy till after one year he got to know Honey in the woods and after another year, they started dating each other in the woods, Honey always thinking it was Liew, her father's student. So after a while, she started dating the real Liew, who never suspected Honey was actually in love with someone else.
What none of the three knew was that Millard had planned on Liew's affair with Honey to get even with the crazy Geud.
Soon Honey decided to go visit Liew's mother, for they had planed their future. Liew and Honey went to Millard's, lacking the slightest suspection that their pasts might have anything to do with each other.
Millard warmly welcomed the lovebirds but shortly after their arrival he warned Geud that either he'd be to Millard's desire or he'd never see his beloved daughter anymore.
Eugenie thought it was time she taught Millard a lesson and challenged her, so Nusha; a family friend revealed to her that she herself was also a goddess.
She won and Millard promised she'd never mess up with Geud's life again. That was how Liew and Honey found out about Liew's father and who Millard really was.
Millard finally told Liew that he was immortal and warned him that it was only her sword which could kill her sons.Yet she did not tell him where to find the sword. The only secret untold remained that Honey was actually living with two men.
Liew had just faced the dilemma whether he admired Geud as an idol or hated him as a father when Honey announced she was pregnant, not having a clue how the idea of having a child of his own terrified the real Liew.
Liew was so irritated that he immediately left. The night the child was born, he came back telling Honey she must have been dating someone else for he'd never commit such thing. He explained how dangerous it was that someone else should have taken advantage of Honey, keeping the identity of his suspect secret, for he was not absolute yet. So they would pretend Liew had left Honey for good in order to catch the fake Liew.
But big brother knew Liew and his dark world better than anyone else. He went to Honey telling her he wanted to hide in the house to surprise the fake one, but he had also taken Millard's sword to threaten Liew in case he decided to kill him.
Liew, having seen him enter the house went inside looking for him. As both brothers got into a sword fight, Honey started singing as to curse the fake Liew, her singing made him suffer so bad, that he closed his eyes and throw the sword away, ignoring Liew's position and when he reopened his eyes to Honey's screaming, it was already too late for any help.
All Millard wanted, was to teach Geud a tough lesson and now, as she entered the living room, all the grief was hers, whose dearest son was killed by the one who had always been so undesired by the mother, she had even refused to give him a name.

They say you should never play with the gods.
