One day the king grew ill and on the day of his death he decreed that he would divide the rule amongst his sons and that together they should lead the kingdom to greatness. However, the oldest son wanted to rule the kingdom all by himself, so he told his brother to pledge their loyalties to him but they refused. Angered the eldest son declared war on his brothers and destroyed their family stone, shattering the bonds of their brotherhood.

### The Battle

All four brother fought each other with their armies as the great kingdom had now fallen into war and chaos. However, despite their fighting and persistence, each brother was evenly match and the war was at a stalemate. Until one day the oldest brother wander out into the woods cursing his fate. Then suddenly, the Will O' the Wisps appeared and guided the prince to a cottage housed by an old witch. Seeking to win the war, the prince demanded the witch give him a spell to give him the strength of ten men, claiming it would change his fate. He then offered his signet ring as payment for the spell. The witch agreed and gave him the spell in a drinking horn, she also warned him about the affects of the spell and how to break it by mending the bond torn by pride. When the prince returned to the kingdom he called his brother together for a false truce. He demanded ounce again to pledge their loyalties to him but when they still refused, he stood before them and drank the spell.

The spell gave him the strength of ten men but to his surprise it also transformed him into a giant black bear. Instead of listening to the witch's words to mend the bond torn by pride, he accepted the shape of the beast and killed his brothers. When the prince returned to command his army they only saw the bear he had become and they all attacked him. The prince fought off his own army until eventually, the kingdom itself became deserted and had fallen into ruin.

Years later, Merida nearly repeats history when she gets into a fight with her mother, Elinor and turns her into a bear from the same witch.
