Bramble The Mountain King

 Bramble The Mountain King

 

Long ago in an old Nordic land, a young boy named Olle searches for his big sister Lillemor during the night. Eventually he does find her but not long after they fall into a giant tree, which magically shortens their size, and both Olle and Lillemor playfully spend time with the gnomes and fairies before returning to normal size. Things start turning grim, however, when a troll kidnaps Lillemor to be taken to an unknown kingdom. With a mysterious stone of light he finds in his hands, Olle traverses through the woods in search of his sister.

He first encounters and escapes a butcher troll, then escapes another troll by freezing him into stone with the light. Olle also helps and befriends a stone giant named Lemus. After passing through dark caves filled with captives in cages, Olle is entranced by the hypnotic song of the Näcken, a dangerous water spirit. He was originally a human violinist who was beaten mercilessly and unjustly by his fellow villagers, and so he obtained his revenge by playing a cursed melody that caused them to dance to death; he fell into darkness and despair when a woman he loved was killed by his spell. Olle hides and flees from him in the riverside, and the Näcken is killed in his pursuit of Olle when they both go off the edge of a waterfall. Olle also meets the young witch Tuva, who gives him encouragement and gives his stone the power of light to defend himself and push back the Bramble.

Traveling farther out into the marshes, Olle happens upon a shack that is home to a witch and her infant child. The marshes are filled with shadowy figures of drowned children, and Olle learns that the witch plans to sacrifice the baby in a Satanic ritual, with the child becoming a shadowed one under the watch of the demonic monster Kärrhäxan. While he manages to fend her off, Olle ultimately fails to save the newborn from being drowned by the witch, who hangs herself. Olle brokenheartedly buries the child to prevent them from becoming another shadow.

Meeting the Lyktgubbe, an immortal creature and a magical archivist, Olle enters a clearing where its library manifests, and he learns the tale of the Mountain King. King Nihls' son Ulrik was ailing, so he set out on a bloody search for the cure. Finding a merciful witch, she gave him a special flower that she warned to only use a piece of. While the boy is healed, he is then killed by the servants out of anger towards his father's bloody campaign. The crushed King unleashed his fury with the full flower, turning into a mad giant and releasing the Bramble onto the world. The kind witch witnessed his transformation and rampage from afar and used her power to build a mountain over him and his decimated kingdom, binding him to the Bramble forever; the trolls are forced to retrieve prey for him to feed on.
