One day, while Odette was by the lake, Rothbart cast a powerful spell, turning her into a beautiful swan during the day and a princess at night, with the cruel twist of stealing her voice.

Each night, as the sun set, Odette would regain her human form.

She longed to break the curse but couldn’t speak to tell anyone of her trouble.

She was trapped in a world of silence, with only the moon and the stars to share her secret.

One evening, as Odette was walking by the moonlit lake, she heard a sweet sound.

It was Prince Derek, who had come to the lake, drawn by its beautiful waters.

He saw Odette, and as they danced together under the moonlight, they felt a connection like no other.

Prince Derek learned about the curse and promised to break it.

Over time, he and Odette spent more time together, their love growing stronger with each passing day.

But Rothbart, the wicked sorcerer, would not give up easily.

Rothbart transformed his son, a handsome but unkind young man named Siegfried, to look like Odette to trick the princess.
