Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons

Merida's Fate and Center

Merida sewed as fast and as hard as she could while riding on Angus's back. He treaded fast through the forest's path to catch up to the king and his men. But he had to substitute safety for speed. The little brother cubs try to hold on to the horse for dear life, as well as Rapunzel. She was defiantly not expecting the hard jumps and the bounce when riding a horse. But she did her best to grab the brothers if they fall off and bring them close to her.

Merida was also had troubles trying to study the tapestry so she could work. "Easy Angus," she said as she stitches a few more threads together. Soon the giant gap between the mother and daughter was almost gone; soon the tapestry was repaired with a couple of obvious thread lines.

With one final tug, Merida was able to pull the thread close together, mending the rip and the bond.

"Done!" She cheered as she held up her final work.

"That's great!" Rapunzel said with a smile while keeping the little boys from falling off. "Now all we have to do is catch up to the others."

"We will," Merida said looking back to Rapunzel. "We have to."

Suddenly, Angus stopped, nearly flinging everyone off his back.

"Angus wha-?" Merida said looking at him. Then she noticed a familiar blue flame figure in front of him.

"A wisp," Rapunzel cried out in shock. Soon, a whole trail of them appeared, heading over a hill and into the direction of an orange light.

Light like that can only come from fire and the clans were carrying torches when they left. Surely that is them. Wasting no time, Merida kicked Angus to charge in that direction. He obeyed and followed the wisps' trail to get to the location in time.

But in the shadows, something was watching them. With its dead eyes locked on to Merida, with the thirst for pay back.

Elinor ran with all her might to get away from the clans' screaming and weapons. In her haste to get away, she didn't really look forward. She kept darting her head back to see how close the hunting party was getting. And they were close, about a spear throw away.

Toothless spots Elinor from up high and fired a number of plasma shots at the trees so they would fall and block the path. But the men would easily find another way around. Their determination and stubbornness was a bad combo for them. Jack also tried to slow them down the best he cloud, by making cold air fly around and the ground supper slippery. But they just kept charging forward.

"It's no use," Hiccup said to Jack while riding Toothless. "We can't stop them without hurting them."

"We have to do something," Jack yelled. "We can't let them kill the queen."

The boys flew down closer to the trees, and glide with Elinor still running beneath them. When she glanced up to look at them, she lost her footing and tripped on a loose root. It made her fall over and roll along the path and into a clearing. Her body only stopped when she slammed to a giant rock. She shook her head to get rid of the dizziness, only to realize she's back at the circle of stones.

"Your highness!"

Elinor looked up to see Hiccup and Jack flying towards her.

"Are you alright?" Hiccup asks her with worry.

Elinor quickly shook her head and backed away from them.

"Whoa hey," Jack said putting his hands up. "It's ok; we're here to help you."

The sound of the angry men nearby put panic on everyone. The clans were getting closer and closer.

"We need to get out of here," Jack said as an obvious suggestion.
