The Legend of the Olt and Mures Rivers
The legend tells us about a mighty king living in a castle with two towers, on a high mountain. One summer day he left the castle to go to war against his enemies and he never came back.
Searching for the King
His queen sent emissaries to search for her husband every time further and further, till the end of the earth but none of them could find the lost king. The king had two sons, two babies when he left. Although they looked quite similar physically, they had a very different character and behaviour. One of them grew up in the western tower and the other grew up in the eastern tower. When the two brothers became adults they decided to try their luck too and go searching for their long lost father.
The queen did not know whether to be glad or sad about that decision: was she to be happy she had such brave and determined children or should she fear they might be lost for good like her much beloved husband and king. She advised the two young men to stay together and not to argue with each other during that long and probably difficult quest as she knew they were very different and proud. She reminded the brothers they were much stronger together than divided.
