In this legend, it is said that once upon a time there were two brave brothers who had spent their whole lives fighting with swords and spears.
The biggest and most powerful had been Muji. Halil had been the smallest and most flexible.
Muji had been so strong that when a passer-by had asked him where such and such a village was, Muji who had been plowing the field had raised his hands together with the plow and plow ox in the direction of that village. Halil had been so agile that with his quick body movements he had escaped not only the sword but also the spear and arrow.
Thus, the power of Muji and the agility of Halil had done the hatana and got the dana. Until the war was fought with swords, spears and arrows, Mujit e Halil had not dared to face them.
In order to protect their Illyrian-Arber lands, they had fought with Krajl soldiers and the Sultan’s “nobodies”. But, first of all, they were against the Slavic gangs known as “harambash gangs”, which at that time had committed robberies, burnings and murders among the Illyrian-Arberian tribes.
Although they had had all the wars unequal, nevertheless, they had won all the wars. But, as the legend says, when the rifle was discovered, Muji and Halili said to each other: “Brother, a new weapon has come out that kills us too, that’s why we’re going into the Udbina cave and we’re not coming out more!”.
Since then, legends are told and epic songs are sung among Albanians and Bosniaks about the bravery of Muji and Halil.
