The Hero Twins tells the story of brothers One Marksman and Seven Marksman who were skilled ball players but angered the Lords of Death. The Lords killed the brothers, but Seven Marksman's skull spit on the daughter of a Lord, Blood Moon, impregnating her with the Hero Twins, Venus Lord and First Jaguar. The twins also excelled at ball playing and completed impossible tasks set by the Lords. Eventually, the Lords tried to kill the twins by burning them and throwing their bones in a lake, but this allowed the twins to return to life with catfish heads and get revenge on the Lords by making them disappear during a performance.

1. The Hero Twins A comic strip adapted from Well of Sacrifice by Chris Eboch

2. The Hero twins started with brothers One Marksman and Seven Marksman (the Hero twins’ father.) The two brothers came upon this ball game and were very intrigued. They became very skilled players, but soon they disrupted the Lords of Death beneath them. The Lords were furious, and they killed the brothers.

3. The Lords hung the skull of Seven Marksman. However, one of the lords’ daughter, Blood Moon, found the head. The head spit on her, and this made her pregnant with the Hero twins.

4. The Hero twins, Venus Lord and First Jaguar were very talented children. And when they discovered their father’s ball gear, they got very good at the game. But they too disrupted the Lords of Death.

5. The twins were put to many impossible tasks that they had to complete to stay alive. They had to keep alive a fire, stay warm in freezing hail, and much more!

6. Every day the twins played ball against the Lords. This day though, Venus Lord’s head came off. His head was used for the ball, but his brother was able to use a squash as his head. Eventually he switched the balls. When the squash splashed on the Lords, they were so angry!

7. The Lords were so furious at the twins that they decided to kill them. The twins had to jump over a fire pit. The twins knew they couldn’t make it, so they just walked in.

8. Once they were successfully burned, the twins’ bones were crushed up and thrown into a lake nearby.

9. What the lords didn’t know was that their way of killing the Hero twins let them come back alive. And the twins did, but with the heads of catfish. Once their heads came back to normal, the twins became very famous performers. They even performed for the Lords of Death!

10. The Lords wanted to be in the twins’ show. However, they didn’t know the twins were who they were. So when the Lords were in the show, the twins made them disappear, but never come back!
