I own nothing.
I present: Swan Lake
Ships: Amebel
The young hunter nearly dropped his bow at the sight. Before the young lad, a flock of graceful swans flew low and eventually ended their flight. The swans were too small to kill so he lowered his bow and placed the arrow back in his quiver. He stayed in his place among the willows and the wildflowers that his his presence.
The largest of the swans, stepped forward and in the starlight, transformed into a young lady with an unearthly beauty. She reminded him of the harsh winters in his home. Biting cold that made you gasp for breath. Blood that slowly freezes until you can no longer move. The snow that is fun at first but then becomes the fiercest enemy. But there were also the beautiful winter days and nights where he could just be glad for the snow. His mother would make a warm chocolate drink and his father would cut down a mighty pine for Christmas.
And her eyes! Her eyes were a beautiful indigo and reflected the night sky.
Her snow-white hair shone like the stars.
She looked at him and met his gaze and he walked to her. He was under this swan maiden's spell and he didn't care. She could have punched him in the face and he would have let her.
"How did you find this place?" Her voice cold and sharp like wind.
"I was hunting for my family and I followed your flock here. You were too small so I didn't attempt to harm any of you. I was just watching."
What was it about this boy that drove her crazy? Was it is wheat colored hair? The wind softly brushed her fingers through his hair and it definitely made her mad, but that was not it. His eyes then. No. Not those eyes. They were too bright and full of life. That smile? It made her heart beat faster sand her knees weak but it wasn't it.
Could it...could it be the way that he looked at her like she was the most beautiful lady he had ever seen?
"What can I do that will earn me your love?" Oh he did not just ask her that! Was this really the one she wanted to save her?
She looked at his hopeful expression.
Of course he was.
"You must prove to the world that you love me." She said.
"I love you. From the moment I saw you, you reminded me of the winter, of all the fun times I had with my family and I want to share that with you, I want to share my life with you. I am so cought in your spell, that I would go to the ends of the earth for you. Every thing I do, I will do it for your honor. Never will I stray, never will I leave you, you will never have to worry or fear again." He whispered to her and her alone.
"Why did you whisper?"
"Because you are my world."
He spoke so honestly and so true that she had to believe him.
On the opposite side of the forest, a wizard poofed out of existence because his spell was broken.
