It’s entirely from your side of the family.įergus: I take it the talk didn’t go too well then?Įlinor: I do speak to her. It’s not the end of the world.Įlinor: I blame you. The clans are coming to present their suitors.Įlinor: Oh, Merida! It’s marriage. They ring with truths.Įlinor: I would advise you to make your peace with this. Merida: That’s a nice story.Įlinor: It’s not just a story, Merida. He followed his own path and the kingdom fell to war, and chaos, and ruin. But the oldest prince wanted to rule the land for himself. And when he grew old he divided the kingdom among his four sons, that they should be the pillars on which their piece of land rested.

She’s in charge of every single day of my life.įergus: And then, out of nowhere, the biggest bear you’ve ever seen! His hide littered with the weapons of fallen warriors. My whole life is planned out, preparing for the day I become, well, my mother. I’ve got duties, responsibilities, expectations. They get away with murder! I can never get away with anything! Merida: The story of how my father lost his leg to the demon bear, Mor’du, became legend. It’s the one thing we search for, or fight to change.
