King Fergus noticed the Lightfoot brothers. The king was fierce. "Stand aside, laddies!" King Fergus added, pulling out his sword. The king stared at the big black demon bear. "I'll take on, Mor'du!" King Fergus shouted.

The big black demon bear charges after the king with four big paws. Mor'du roars ferociously. It halts. The big black demon bear rises up on two front paws. Mor'du was standing. The big black demon bear was angry.

The Scottish king was mad at the black monster.

King Fergus and Mor'du fights with rage.

The king swishes with his sword twice.

The big black demon bear tried to slash-clawed him.

Barley and Ian ran to the other side of The Ring of Stones.

They are panicking.

While the blue burly elf asks questions, his youngest brother hasn't got any answers at all.

"Who IS HE?!" Barley inquired.

"I don't KNOW!" Ian screamed in his shrug.

"How DOES HE KNOW ABOUT US?!" Barley inquired again.

"I don't KNOW!" Ian screamed in his shrug again.

"Why IS HE-" Barley tried to finish his sentence.

Ian was agitated at his elder brother. "I! DON'T! KNOW! BARLEY!" The blue skinny elf screams louder.

The blue burly elf was fierce yet still panicked. "Ian, ye HAVE to use THE STONE SPELL on Mor'du!" Barley urges in his shout.

The blue skinny elf looks at his elder brother. Ian was concerned. "Barley, I'm petrified!" He screams again.

Barley shook his head. The blue burly elf extended his arms wide. "You're NOT turning into stone, Ian!" Barley reassures in his shouting.

The blue skinny elf shakes his head a few times. "NO!" Ian added. "I MEAN I'M SCARED!" The blue skinny elf corrected in his scream.

Barley holds his youngest brother's shoulders. "Ian! Don't hold back! I know ye can do it! Just trust me on this!" The blue burly elf believed in his shout.

The big black demon bear rotated around.

King Fergus was confused.

Mor'du was chasing after the Lightfoot brothers with four big paws. The big black demon bear was mad.

The king was alarmed. "Laddies, Mor'du's coming on your way! Run!" King Fergus shouted in fear.

Barley and Ian glanced to the sound of the monstrous big black bear.

Mor'du was dashing faster.

Barley was astonished. "Use the stone spell NOW, Ian!" He yelled.

The blue burly elf moved away from his youngest brother.

Ian looks at the big black demon bear anxiously.

Mor'du roars viciously while rushing in a swift.

The king was perplexed about the two blue elves.

The blue skinny elf makes his wizard's stance.

Ian efforts to remind himself for what his elder brother told him; speak from your hearts fire, focus, don't hold back and give Mor'du the death stare in his eyes. And say 'Petrifor'.

The blue skinny elf try not to look away from the big black demon bear.

Mor'du stops so close to Ian.

The blue skinny elf closes his eyes for one moment.

Barley was nervous.

King Fergus was bewildered. "Watch out, laddie!" The king yells loudly.

The big black demon bear raises upwards. Mor'du was standing on two big black paws. The big black demon bear attempts to slash the wizard.

The blue burly elf was fearful. "IAN!" Barley shrieks.

The blue skinny elf opened up his eyes instantly. Instead of Ian expressing his dread, the blue skinny elf was furious. Ian gave Mor'du the fiercest death stare at his eyes. The blue skinny elf frowns. Ian thrusted his brown wooden staff. "PETRIFOR!" He screamed at the big black demon bear.

Mor'du looked into the wizard's eyes. The big black demon bear wasn't feared for the blue skinny elf. Mor'du raised his right big black paw in the air, attempting to cut the wizard.

And suddenly, the big black demon bear was paused.

Ian, Barley and King Fergus are disbelieved for what happens next.

Mor'du's black fur becomes gray and hard like a rock slowly. The big black demon bear was turning into stone from top to bottom. After Mor'du's petrification was complete, the bear statue got scattered into nothing but rubble.

The king blinked his eyes thrice times. "I have not believe for what I'm seeing here..." King Fergus whispers.

Barley was thrilled with his smile. The blue burly elf raises his roof. "Yeah! YEAH! MY BROTHER BEAT MOR'DU!" Barley cheered.

Ian was quizzical yet smiling. The blue skinny elf can't believe it either. Ian blinked his eyes once.

Until out of nowhere, the peculiar spirit got out of the pile of fractured statue. It was the blue smokes.

Barley went to Ian.

The Lightfoot brothers are surprised at the blue smoking.

The odd spirit in blue smoke became the human ghost.

It was the human of the man.

They are wide-eyed.

The blue skinny elf blinked his eyes once.

The spirited man bowed his head, thanking Ian to be free from being the bear.

He was being transformed into the wisp itself.

Ian was confused. The blue skinny elf raised his eyebrow. "It...Mor'du's really not a bear...?" Ian inquires.

Barley was skeptical. "This can't be right..." he confirmed.

The king goes to the Lightfoot brothers. King Fergus was astounded. "Laddies..." The king said.

Barley and Ian faced King Fergus blankly.

The king was pleased. "Ye vanquished Mor'du, and saved my kingdom..." King Fergus uttered.

Barley raised his right arm. The blue burly elf was perplexing. "Actually, my brother vanquished the bear, which it was really a human." Barley added, explaining. "I don't understand..." he said sternly.

The king shook his head. "Don't ye worry." King Fergus added. The king was solemn. "I just hope my daughter would see this." King Fergus mentions.

Ian stared at the king mystifyingly. "I'm sorry, who are you?" The blue skinny elf asked.

King Fergus sits up tall. The king had his hands on his hips. He smiled. "I, am King Fergus of Dunbroch, and Princess Merida is my daughter." The king answered proudly.

Barley was astonishing. "What?" He inquired.

Ian was shocking. "Your Merida's dad?" He wondered.

King Fergus was happy yet bewildering. "Aye!" The king added, replying in his exclaim. King Fergus was quizzed. "How do ye laddies know about my daughter?" He asks.

Barley was solemn. The blue burly elf falls down on his knees. Barley takes off his black beanie out of his head. "Your majesty, it's really a long story." He confirms.

The king wasn't concerning. King Fergus was happy. "Then, come with me to my castle and we'll talked about it. We got all day." He reassures.

Ian blinked his eyes twice. He expressed his confusion.

The Lightfoot brothers are being escorted to Dunbroch with the king.

Barley and Ian are about to learn the truth from the queen.
