Onward: Don't Hold Back

Breaking the Witch's Spell

The entire throne room of Dunbroch watched the scene of Queen Elinor with Merida.

The queen was giving her a sad smile. "Oh...oh my dear, Merida...my precious wee lass..." Queen Elinor sobbed.

The bear princess was confused at her mother. Bear Merida looked over the mended tapestry. Then, the bear princess stared at her mother again. Bear Merida makes animal noises. The bear princess sounded so happy yet solemn.

Merida's blue eyes becomes the eyes of the bear.

Queen Elinor cups her mouth. Her eyes are widened. The queen gasped in her fright.

The Lightfoots are melancholy.

Laurel was appalled. "Merida...?" She whispered.

The blue skinny elf looks at his elder brother. "Barley...what did the princess say?" Ian wondered.

The blue burly elf looked back at his youngest brother. "Ian...Merida said...'Ye are always there for me'..." Barley replied.

The Lightfoot brothers stared at the scene again.

The bear princess lays her bear head down. She closed her eyes.

Queen Elinor fell on her knees. The queen touches the bear's head. Queen Elinor cloaked the fixed-up tapestry near her daughter's bear head. The queen was sad. "Oh Merida...I am...I am so sorry...I acted like a beast...It should have been me who becomes the bear...It should have been me..." Queen Elinor weeps. The queen buried her head on the tapestry. Queen Elinor sobs horribly.

The three lords of the three clans are sad for such a tragedy.

King Fergus comforted his three crying sons.

The blue skinny elf hugs his elder brother. Ian shuts his eyes. "Barley...Merida can't be a bear...We put the tapestry back together...This shouldn't have happened..." he whispers.

The blue burly elf hugged his youngest brother back. Barley patted his back. "I know, Ian...I know..." he believed.

Laurel embraced her two blue elf sons. She sighs. "We loved her like she's part of our family...We tried to help, boys...We tried..." Laurel said quietly.

Barley leans on Ian's head. The Lightfoots are pitying the princess.

The throne room became lit up by the sunlight.

The queen embraces her daughter as a bear. "I love ye, my darlin'..." Queen Elinor said.

The sunbeam lights on the mended tapestry. Lighting on the royal family portrait. Right on the stitches between Princess Merida and Queen Elinor.

After a long silence, the queen gets up. Queen Elinor blinked her eyes once. Her face was drenched with tears.

Suddenly, the fixed-up tapestry was moving by itself.

The queen was baffling.

Someone was moaning under the mended tapestry.

The red curly hair has been showing under the fixed-up tapestry. She touched her head.

Queen Elinor blinked her eyes twice. "Merida?" She wonders in her whisper.

Everyone was astonished at the queen's curiosity.

The princess has no idea what happened. She wrapped herself up with the fixed-up tapestry. The princess looks up with her blue eyes. Merida was perplexed. "Mum?" She inquires.

The Lightfoots' eyes are widened with surprise.

Queen Elinor was joyful. The queen extended her arms out. "Oh...Merida...you're...you're back..." Queen Elinor added, gasping. The queen held her daughter's shoulders. "And you've changed...you've really changed..." Queen Elinor mentioned.
