Hi, everyone I'm back with another story my boyfriend never saw Brave, so we watch it together and he enjoyed it very much to the point he said; is there a Brave 2 that was really good. Which got me thinking there isn't a brave 2 and another story on how to by brave and know a very good one. Not spoil it there will be love scenes but there still be sad scenes. Love, betrayal, kidnapping, and timed murder.

Chapter Eight: The Highland Games Part One

King Fergus made his way down to the dungeons where the captures Viking were being held all of them gave King Fergus dark looks. Finally he was at the cell of Norse who finish his meal given to him as his dinner. He looked at King Fergus and glared at the large man who fathered the beautiful Princess Merida.

"Tomorrow there will be the highland games." King Fergus said keeping his gurad up. "The games decide who will marry my daughter and unfortunately for me Merida has chosen you to be her champon."

"Champon?" Norse said confuse. "I have to prove myself to wed your daughter. You don't like that do you?"

"Merida is my only daughter to see her ..." King Fergus said clinching his fist. "Knowing what you did to her sicken me, but I as king must respect the request of the princess's choice of champon. Get ready boy the highland games are meant for men."

"I faught in many battles I can handle a bunch of games." Norse said smocking Fergus. "And by the way getting use to calling me son as I will marry your daughter."

"Over my dead body boy over my cold dead body." King Fergus said leaving the dungeons.

Norse watch King Fergus leave the dungeons so tomorrow he'll be up to prove himself for the hand of Merida and in King Fergus's words; Over my dead body boy over my cold dead body. Very well Norse thought if I want to marry Merida I have to play these highland games then so be it. The next day Norse was given his breakfast which he ate and then taken to the field in shackles and he saw where every Scotsmen were practicing their skills before the main event games. Norse looked around the highland games were more then games they were test of skill and strength these weren't games.

"Bow before the royal family Viking." One of the gurads said forcing Norse to knee before the royal family. "Wait, until the king say you can get up or I'll push you right back now."

"Now as you all know this Viking here is my daughter's champon thus a challanger for her hand." King Fergus said as he stand. "Norse is the son of the Viking chief I slayed two nights ago a great glory battle. Your father died a man Norse be proud of that. Now stand up before me boy."

The two guards made Norse stand up before King Fergus and the rest of the royal family. Norse narrow his eyes at King Fergus, but they lighten up when he lay eyes on Merida wearing a lovely royal blue dress that matches her eyes so very lovely. Then three young man before Norse. One was big and fat with blonde hair up like pigtails. One was small with wild white hair and finally the third one was broad like Norse with wild black hair and face paint.

"Young MacGuffin, Young Dingwall and Young Macintosh who I think are better choices as champons are your opponents." King Fergus said explaining the rules. "But it not just them you have to best they and you have to best me as well."

"Dear you haven't played in the highland games since well when the Romans were last here?" Queen Elinor said protesting her husband behavior.

"As a king I must prove I too can protect not just my people, but as a father I must do what is right for my daughter." King Fergus explained himself. "Highest score to mine or above mine will be the winner and my future son in-law. Guards unchain Norse let it known that King Fergus is a fair, wise and honest king. Let the highland games begin."

The crowd cheered with excitement as music began to play King Fergus first at all the events followed by MacGuffin then Macintosh followed by Dingwall and finally Norse every event had to be complete by all comparators. Queen Elinor with Princess Merida started each event with their handkerchiefs. Merida smiled at Norse and he smiled back. Young Macintosh didn't like the fact Merida was smiling at Norse.

"Princess Merida I like to declare the highland games to you." Young Macintosh said with a smile both Young MacGuffin and Young Dingwall saw this.

"Aye! I declare the highland games to the princess." Young Dingwall said pushing Young Machintosh aside.

"Is maith liom a dhearbhú na cluichí Highland go Banphrionsa Merida." Young MacGuffin said bowing to Merida.

"Mom!" Merida said feeling awkward.

"Hold your handkerchief high dear Norse anything you like to say before we start." Queen Elinor said.

"I do!" Norse said stepping forward. "I will win for you sweet princess and have your hand in marriage for love."

"Norse, that is so sweet." Merida said smiling at Norse.

"Sweet or not he ate winning the highland games. Ref call the event." King Fergus said getting annoyed.

The ref called out each game event starting with Archery and Merida with Queen Elinor use their handkerchiefs to flag the events off. Merida waved at Norse and blew him a kiss for luck this made the three young lords jealous at Norse. King Fergus fired his arrow hitting the bulleye. Throwing his fist at a great shoot as the crowd cheered then MacGuffin fired his arrow getting the third ring the crowd cheered. Machintosh stepped up and fired his arrow winking at Merida. Hitting the second ring he walked bumping Norse's shoulder his way of saying beat that. Norse narrowed his eyes at Young Macintosh as he watch Young Dingwall fire his arrow only to miss his father yelled with anger before Norse step up and fired hitting the bulleye like King Fergus.

"Whoa! Norse yes!" Merida cheered as her mother looked at her. "What? He'd my champon."

"Merida please support your father he's doing this for you." Queen Elinor said as Merida sat back down.

"Next event hammer throw." the ref yelled out the next event.

King Fergus threw first throwing the hammer fifty feet what a throw he still got it has the crowd cheered. Young MacGuffin threw his next making thirty feet his father cheered that's my boy he'll be marrying the princess. Young Macintosh was next cracking his shoulders, neck and fingers before throwing his hammer making a good 43 feet his father mocking Lord MacGuffin cheering you see that that's my son a real highland man. Young Dingwall took deep breaths before grabbing the hammer spinning it around and around before releasing it, and it flew making 47 feet very close to King Fergus's hammer.

"Ha! Macintosh you were saying about your well look at my son small, but strong and chip off the old block." Lord Dingwall cheered mocking the other lords.

"Next event son knock them out of field." Lord MacGuffin yelled to his son.

"Aye ! Athair Beidh mé!" Young MacGuffin said in Gaelic.

"Son show them why your a Macintosh?" Lord Machintosh said getting annoyed with Lord Dingwall.

Norse couldn't believe his eyes that small Scothmen was insane, but it was his turn the throw hammer and beat these highlanders for the hand of Princess Merida and revenge will be his. Norse step up to the ring and took hold of heavryest hammer he could find and lifted. He shring it about to get used to the weight before he got ready to throw it he let the wind blow and began to spin around, and with one good throw the hammer went flying hitting King Fergus's hammer making it even.

What you think? I am making this story a M because there will violence and the odd swear like damn and/or hell, but I do wish to hear your reviews and if you notice any spelling errors please let me know and I will correct them. Next chapter is coming soon. With each event of the highland games become more harder win our Viking win and have his revenge or gain the respcent of King Fergus. Colleen I am flatted you want to name your future son Norse after my character, but I choice that name because it was also the name of the Viking land and Gods.
