When the plague had hit, Merida had done nothing except run. With her parents both gone, and Mor'Du on the loose, what choice did she have? But after years of running, Merida finally came to a realization: what was she running from? She was strong, she was fierce, and she would not bow to any man. Merida decided it was time to go home. She collected her brothers Harris, Hubert, and Hamish from the safety of their cottage, and with her bow and arrow, decided it was time to finally claim her throne, Mor'Du be damned.
While Mor'Du had failed several times at collecting Merida, he didn't need her dead. He had fear, he kept the people safe, and they bowed to him. So while Merida fled and left her people helpless, Mor'Du offered them safety, walls, weapons, a place safe from the plague. How will they react when their rightful Queen finally comes home to them? Better yet, how will Mor'Du react when Merida returns home to claim what he has already taken?
