“Set in Medieval England, the four heirs to the Wellington throne are shocked when their oldest brother, Duncan, is sent on a suicide mission by their father. However, Duncan is about to cross paths with a few sorcerers who have ties to his father.”
=== Additional Info ===
I know some people will be disappointed there wasn’t time for transformations in part 1. However, unlike most series that only have one transformation in part 1, and none in the rest of it, this series is the opposite where there’s none in the first part, and a transformation in the rest of it.
I was originally going to wait to start this series until after the approaching endings of Halloween Switch or My Apprentice, but I figured there wasn’t a harm in posting an animation that got finished faster than planned.

== Plot ==
In 1458 A.D. renaissance England, King Mathius Wellington is introduced by his squire and he demands his eldest son Duncan be brought before him. From a bush nearby Alistair Huntington watches and plans to cure the royal family of the gender curse placed on them by Sylvana a couple years prior in vengeance. (Unlike most of her other victims the Royal family all had their genders swapped by Sylvana out of anger instead of simply being all turned into woman.) Mathius is strict and demanding, overly dedicated to royal traditions. He summons his eldest son Duncan and berates him for his recent failures to forge alliances between nearby kingdoms and refusal to marry a suitable bride. Duncan insists he doesn't want the throne and pleads with his father to choose one of his younger siblings, Grace, Brody, or Tristen but Mathius refuses saying that he will not forsake traditions and as the eldest son Duncan is the only proper heir. He sees Duncan is unsuitable but refuses to be a heretic of the royal traditions and orders him to go on a quest that is known to be dangerous and will most likely result in his death. The King demands it saying how he will return a proven and worthy heir or die and his younger brother Brody will be the next in line for the throne. Duncan is forced to accept and goes to prepare. Alistair watches from nearby and while he elects to leave the king cursed; as he's unlikely to have any more children at his age, he follows Duncan as he is comforted by his siblings Brody and Grace in his room. Alistair mentions how he is still adjusting to his cursed form and thus is too weak to transform them all at once or preform Mass Memory Alter quick enough so he must wait for the right time to transform them one by one and change the worlds memories of them when finished. Grace and Brody detest their fathers over obsession with traditions as well, but neither can defy him. Brody says he too doesn't want the responsibility of the throne. Grace is willing to rule but knows her father will never allow it as she's a woman. They also speak of their youngest brother Tristen who is weaselly and greedy and while he does desire the throne, they all feel he would be a cruel ruler undeserving of being king. Tristen enters and sarcastically wishes Duncan good luck on his quest certain he will die in the trials ahead. After he leaves Duncan tells the others his intention to flee and start a new life as a commoner hoping that everyone will assume he died in the trials, and he can escape the oppressive hand of their father. Grace and Brody comfort him and say their goodbyes promising to keep his secret. Duncan prepares and leaves the castle to begin his plan to flee. Alistair watches closely and follows him waiting for the right time to cure him of his curse. 
From the castle walls nearby two cloaked and hooded Ruby Sorcerers watch saying how they have finally tracked down Alistair and intend to make a move on him. Both show their Mana marks witch closely resemble Sylvana's. The Male Sorcerer teleports away to get "the others" while the female remains watching Alistair closely.
