I don't Old-time Crest Oh Rice belongs to Sneaky Crab also don't own the Swan Princess all rights to that story belong to their respect to respective owners. Thank you enjoy the story.

As I said, the story has the swan princess in it it's one of my favorite non-Disney stories even though it could've been a Disney story, the story is based on the ballet of Swan Lake the story is very important because it has very important secrets about one of the main characters or two of the main characters I should say both both both Luther and Ash will learn something about themselves in the story that they're not just time crests I know this is not canon so don't take it as such take the story and great fun it's a twisted on for the violet eyes thing, so I just thought it would be interesting that the siblings are related to Odette the princess from the swan princess but like way down the line or whatever I just thought it would make it interesting, especially for the fairytale elements not just for a girl Lily that helps with breaking curses anyway, and that's with my gibbering I just get on with the learning.

The event was over, but the mermaid queen was still hanging around to teach us some things. I don't know how to teach us, but to give us an education of what happened to Princess Odette, my beloved's great ancestor. He found out that he was related to her now. I'd like to tell you the whole story the mermaid queen said, but it would be too long and I don't know how she got to Alencia or maybe it was her and says maybe it was her descendants who went there but I think I know most of that part at least, so you don't know the whole story of the swan lake, the story happened back in the 1800s send a mermaid queen way before I was born way before you and Lily were born so I don't know the whole story neither does any other descendants is that mean everyone is dead there's only one person who's alive from the story And he's seeking revenge even though he died, he's not dead.

and the only reason he's still alive, is because of the forbidden arts I'm talking about Rothbart, sir Rothbart he used to be part of the royal court that I do know, said the mermaid queen and he was jealous. That's the princess he wanted to marry, obviously so in retaliation, Chee kidnaps I didn't know this much. He did succeed in his plan of cursing the princess, so not when she was a baby obviously but later.

so Luther said so I don't we're not having to have to just deal with the bogeyman. Of course, you still have to deal with the bogeyman said the side, the queen that's what I meant I'm not just having to deal with the bogeyman, but we have to deal with a sorcerer who's barely like really really old like over 88 well from the 1800s so over hundreds of years old exactly he's alive through the forbidden arts forbidden. Ours has kept him from dying for all these years. Even God hasn't been able to take his soul to hell. what is he waiting for? I asked the mermaid I mean oh fart should be brought there for all eternity for what she what he's done to Odette and his fat and her family. Oh, that did nothing wrong.

One day I will tell you all the story send a mermaid or one day you'll figure out and find the story yourselves and read it yourself. The book should be in your library and not think they shouldn't be because everything has been destroyed. your mother didn't save that book when she took everything to the human which is awakening the world you know to the world of the people who are awake. The mermaid asked yes, but I don't know what book she saved, and which one she hadn't, I said there's no telling which books are still there and which books are not if the book of the swan princess is there we will read it don't worry, but I will know is the story of her not how she got to Alencia or how her descendants got to a Alencia right but the secret is that you two are both of you are royals that's the secret and that's why I'm your mother. Lily also hooked the two of you up. That's why you betrothed not just because of the Timecrest thing it's because of him she pointed at Luther me being a prince it's ridiculous. It's been hidden for many years, said the queen, your royal lineage has been hidden for many years, and why your power is so strong stronger than any Timecrest stronger than anyone in Alencia why can solidify? I am all that good stuff because I was a prodigy, he said again, partly said the mermaid, but that ain't all of it.

this could be also why she was trying to hook your mother Helena was trying to hook you up with Riley. Luther looked at her really because of your royal roots? She knew you still had royal blood somewhere in your DNA you are royal. Your family are royals but you're also cursed. I thought I thought Lily broke a curse. She brought the sleeping curse, said the mermaid, but she didn't break the actual curse that you're under. If you're staying in Alencia, you wouldn't have to worry about this curse, but now that you're here and near Swan Lake well it's only for a matter of time before the curse will take effect on you.

if it doesn't do it on its own, Rothbart, or cast in self-cast himself on me are you sure you're her hair her air, her descendent your Odettes descendent being a prince, gives you that advantage when he does that to Lily instead, Lily is not related to princess Odette so you won't need to worry about that? The two of us shiver and writers arms around each other knowing that being cursed isn't over like I said we have to deal with this and we have to deal with the bogeyman. I know you all still have to deal with the bogeyman as well. I know that mermaid said I know you still have to deal with bogeyman with Alex and doing with him having to try and take Lily away from you but now you have to deal with Rothbart too and an old vendetta. He wants revenge if he finds out you're here the last heir to the throne who wanna do anything he can to hurt you does he even though yes he's ruthless and he'll do anything to get the throne. I know that your throne here is destroyed even though you put Ion here there's no way we can rebuild this place we can get married here, but you'll have to move to Swan Lake to live permanently anyway.

and it's only a matter of time before Rothbart finds out about it, but it turns out that you're even alive that you're even a royal descendent of her of Odette the princess, the swan princess is even a Dad alive know oh, dad is dead she's been dead for a long long time, but you have a necromancer among your group, right you have a necromancer are you talking about a lease? she probably can't communicate with her, and she could tell you her story even more so.

do you think Elise could do that for us? I don't know what the mermaid said, but there's no harm in trying for Elise to give you a chance to see her at least can't choose who she sees. Luther said well maybe she might if she goes to the place where the dead people of Swan Lake are if you take a lease to Swan Lake maybe she'll figure it out.

I just wish I could tell you the story but I just don't know what all it's fine I said, let us deal with it will deal with Rothbart and will deal with the bogeyman too. I mean it is our mission. It is said the mermaid well, I guess I better get going home now. The party is over. I just wanted to let you all know about your Royal backgrounds, especially, both yours, even though both of you have different royal backgrounds.

I hope you will leave this kingdom and start a new one at Swan Lake I don't think you could start a new one here with the mess that's here I don't think so either I said thank you the mermaid left and her friends and family and it was just us now.

I asked, are you scared? No, he said I'm not scared just worried I maybe I am a little scared. I don't know much about Rothbart so I don't know how scary or not scary he is the mermaid. Queen says she he is he he uses the forbidden arts. Whatever that is, we need to see what that is before we start jumping into this to fight our new enemy. We need to know what our enemy thinks and agrees, and if he wants to resent revenge on you because of your relationship with Odette then will need to figure out what he wants. He's a saucer, right? Yes if you read books on sorcerers once, but I never really got into them much most of them were fairy tail like things, so I never really thought of getting into sorcery or thinking about sorcerers in general and how they work because I've been more into political tight stuff.

I never thought of magic and wonder until I got with you Lily until I was cursed until you were cursed, and now I have to think of curses evil, bogeymen and sorcerers, and things I never thought I had to ever think about Now I have to or you scared. I asked a little he said, scared for myself and scared for you my sweet Lily.

I don't think we can think about a wedding right now, even though we're engaged, we need to defeat the bogeyman, and we need to defeat Rothbart if he can be defeated once surely he could be defeated a second time I said we just need to learn about the forbidden art, so that we know what we're up against we live in modern day we have modern technology and our exposure I said we have one thing Ross part doesn't have modern tech true he said he probably wouldn't know nothing about it about your modern technology's. It might scare him a little if you use some like guns and things like that I don't know a lot about modern tech so that would give him an edge or give us an edge. He's an old enemy if we have a plan, we can defeat him.

we also need to find a book on your family's history I said not on your family's history from Alencia. What's your family history here in the dream room since you're not native to an Alencia let's do that first before we do anything else we might discover other royals on your family tree I said, do you have a point he said all right Lily if that's what you want it might be helpful to know what else we're up against and who else they could come after us old enemies, sorcerers, and sorceresses. This sounds crazy to me.

so where do we start? We go to the royal library but everything in your kingdom has been destroyed. The library wasn't in town I know a friend there who can help us we could find your family tree it would be the tree family tree that we would have to find that would be on your father's side do you know your mother's maiden name Timecrest? I don't know if it would. It would've been from Odette, she might've changed it to Timecrest or it was named that because of Alvin that could been because of Alvin Helena's name shouldn't have been Towncrest from the beginning. I think it's one Ashli will see we need to go to the library and meet with Miss Bell, a bell from Sleep from Beauty and the Beast there are a lot of fairytales we need to go to Fairytale Land. Swan Lake is not in fairytale land, obviously too close to sweet dreams we will need to go to the land of fairytales.

and I think I should come along as well. Since Ashli is part of the family, I'll leave Ash out he'll Ash probably might get upset. Let's go let us discover more about our family history.

But how we're going to get there in a carriage I said they don't use cars in the realm of dreams. Luckily, I have one and will have Leah and my mother's unicorn palette. It shouldn't be a long journey to the library into town to where the lives, which is near actually Actually would be a long trip actually will be gone a while. I said how long a long time I said traveling from here to France would take a long time France yes France my kingdom is nowhere so we have to go to an actual somewhere to get where we need to go to the nearest library I know we don't have a library here anymore because it got destroyed in the fire and all the books I have does not have our family trees or your family tree Just tails so to get to the records we have to go to a bigger library, a bigger library than what we have let's go inside of Myon and find Ash about it. All right let's do this then if you're determined.

he went inside ion the palace that we were living in for the time being – I heard him call for us his name I said yes and yes brother what is it? We're going on a submission together me and you and Lily just the three of us canteen 13 Come Yes they're coming to get a lease Ashwin to go find a lease, what about the rest? Roger can come to an AC so the whole team was coming.

where are we going for tea mast Swan Lake but we're not going to the lake itself. We're going to the kingdom of Swan Lake. Why Ashli is surprised? What are you when we get there Ash before we go there we need to go to the main library, which is, which is actually in France a long way yes, I said France is a long way off, but we could get there in no time we're in the world of dreams after all traveling should not be hard for us and we're taking the carriage. the unicorns will fly us there, so it shouldn't take much time.

but why Ash asked again I'll tell you on the way we just need to get inside the carriage now I said oh we just need to get inside the carriage now. OK, Ash said piling in with the team to my lady France I said well, do you need a portal open to get there? No, we're traveling inside the world of dreams so getting to France should be easy I said and we're going to the French library OK? The unicorn said OK mistress we will take you there both of them said Leah and my mother's unicorn looked at me.

everyone inside the carriage please is everyone inside I said yes the portal opened and we all went through. It was faster than regular teleportation and faster. If we didn't fly all the way there ourselves it'll take us several days if we did take a longer path.

We got there in record time. The carriage landed, and it just walked now I took the reins and pulled guiding it along the streets even though it was modern and there were people in cars we rode our carriage because there was no other way. I haven't been here since I was a kid so everything was different, but people recognized me as a princess it's Princess Lily, Angelo Angelo back I said my French was a little rusty. I didn't know you could speak French. He asked me yes we could speak some French I said not much but enough that I could get through. I took a course in all languages I said, but I don't know how to speak them all fluently English is my strongest said my strongest language. I kept waving at people saying bonjour good morning good morning it's not morning I said laughing.

which way to Paris that way mademoiselle thank you said Princess Lily. I thought she was missing and she had a man with her. Do you mean the bogeyman no a different one people like to gossip I said gossip? Yeah, there are a lot of people. Especially, in France. love that kind of stuff I said, you'll get used to it once we travel like this a lot Ashland curiously everyone around around them at everyone 1013 as well why are we walking? Do you want your feet to hurt? I said it's OK cobblestones it could hurt your feet if you walk too long.

we finally made it to Paris, and there was the library and all of its glory. It was open. It's always open. We will park here. All right Celia, if you find inside yes because you're not allowed inside, right yes, no yes mistress but you may grace the two of you I got you buckets of oats you can eat that while we wait while we go inside, of course it was also a bookstore as well as a book library. There are a lot of books.

go buy a lot of books as well. I said so y'all can get educated in the human world Waze it'll help you figure out what life is like here. I've had a few Luther said he looked at me and I don't want to help me remember yes but there are more books than that, so let's get started I want the librarian's desk what is your bell?

how are you? I am fine Princess Lily. I didn't expect you to ever come back to the dream room. Well, I had to mother pass away. Oh, I am so sorry. Queen Serafina was such a nice lady, said Val. Yeah, I know how are you and Adam getting along doing well too bad I didn't get a chance to get you to come to my party. It is OK but you can come to my Royal wedding you and Adam are always welcome thank you, but I thought you were married everyone thinks that I said the bogeyman was an evil man I got a divorce oh new men yes I'm not here to discuss that maybe later course you might wanna walk around fairytale realm and invite as many people from the fairytale world as you can especially in the Disney verse said bell. Oh yes, the Disney princesses of course don't worry I will go and invite them as well.

pardon me, but wouldn't you be dead no said Bell in the dream room not many people die and besides even though my book says it takes place in the 1700s my story does mean that I am alive long my movie was made in 1991 so no even though my movie takes place in the time. It takes place in that doesn't mean that we were born in that time. So let me know if Dad and her Royal cohorts or alive that could be a possibility. We haven't went inside of inside of Swan Lake Kingdom I said we never went inside. We don't know if it's deserted or not it might not be.

A set might be deserted spell asked the mermaid that we talked to that we invited to our Royal Cotillion oh dear, she's mistaken. It's not deserted people live there Belle said how do you know the wreckers would've said that people would've died in the world of dreams even though movies and stuff time is different, books and things like fairytales characters come to life here in the world of dreams Even different versions of myself even exist spell said beauty and the beast is different. In different places. I'll let you I'll show you in books later they might live for generations but they don't die. That means my ancestors are alive. Luther asked yes ancestor.

what do you mean by that? Bill asked. The mermaid queen said that he is related to Princess Odette I said the swan princess fell and looked at him. Am I have a mixture of well mostly Odets looks her eyes for sure that's of your luxe. Don't look like her, but you do have her eyes. Where are you from Alencia or I was Your name bell asked Luther time crest he said oh I don't know if I could find anyone with that name but if you said you're related to to Swan Princess, then your last name would be Smith because that was all Dad's last name oh that's one really yes that means you're the great great great great I don't know how many greats Grandson I knew that much he said, and I knew it was royal because the mermaid told me yes she did Ted Bell, but you're special more than just being royalty. I know I was a Timecrest where I came from Alencia your family travel to Alencia Bell said to escape from being killed off by Rothbart, but some people still live in there no Royals you're the last one but some people still live there. There's a death still living there I think so she's the only royal still there her and her prince, her husband king.

King Derek, you have to go back to the lake to Swan Lake to meet them in person but yeah, no one dies in the dream room. I mean they do but it takes some time if you're normal like you then yeah you could but I've been alive for a long time, said Bell, as long as people believe in us, especially children, we never die pretty much, but we had brought you all here we came for the book for ancestors I said, of course, of course send it said bell course that's what you came for and I know you came to not just asked me about Adam no tell Adam I said hi and here's your all's invitations to a Royal wedding of course thank you very much. You should travel to other fairytale kingdoms and give out their invitations. I think that's a good idea. We didn't do that last time. I will do that later. I said this is more important than you. Any time Princess Lily?

you could buy the book you don't have to read it Bell said any other books you like to have yes would like to have a lot more books if that's possible of course I have every copy of every book so I can give you more but you don't have to pay for them. Well said I can give them to. You can start a library in your area that sounds great but if we don't end up, living in law and sweet dreams, and we end up moving to Swan Lake will build the library. That sounds good. what is the wire around here should go around to all the fairytale rooms and give out their invitations before you go back to your home area. Thanks see you bell bye. All of La.

before we returned, we did with bell said we went to give out invitations to all the other royal princesses from all over the world. Luckily, I knew every language which was good for me. I studied multiple languages I said, so that's why you knew so many yes, English is my main language, but I know every language, I'm multilingual I said that's why you're able to speak to Bell in French. I didn't speak to all in French but I did speak to most of her in French I said.

after we went to all the princess's places and gave them their invitations, we decided to put everything back in the carriage and headed back to our home. We put the books inside of ion all right now we got books and Tom's he said now you can learn to be human yes and I need to learn how to be royale whatever that means.

we took we dropped everything off and then we headed back out. What are you doing now? The Torah asked Swan Lake to be careful.

Here we are we need to go past the lake this time I said right we don't need to fly though we can just walk. We can just walk the horses now I tapped on the gate.

A man and a woman, a man with brown hair with pensive gray in it, and a man with a woman with beautiful blonde hair with hints of gray answer, the door and the gate themselves. The family resemblance was on canning. The woman looked similar to Violet, except for the hair color and the facial features, but the violet eyes were there, she also looked like Miss Helena who I never met, but her carriage was royal and regal, and she wore a white swan dress. Her husband wore a royal blue outfit with brown on the sides.

welcome, set the woman hello I said Bowen are you Princess Odette queen she said when you Berta has died recently actually, she's been dead a long time set of debt and now we finally get to become royals or not royals, but rulers, yes said Derek I am king Derek and this is Princess Odette or queen Odette now can you tell us some stories? I asked what kind of ancestor stories ancestors do I have descendants I must have she said taking a double take that my soon-to-be husband sitting next to me.

oh, my children come in where is our hospitality? Come in come in. This place is not deserted and we are not dead. We just closed off our visitor management because of Rothbart. He sneaks around. He doesn't live inside the city anymore though which is good because we don't want him around we did see you on Swan Lake not too long ago. Yes, we had a picnic there. I said I always go there as a child. I remember said Odette I saw you, Princess Lily.

I'm sorry about your mother, Queen Serafina, your father, and everyone you love who was killed by the bogeyman. I am so sorry I'm the last surviving air. I said I bet that's tough for you is I said, and I thought you were married to the bogeyman I divorced him I bet that was tough, the marriage or the divorce both yeah it was because I had a life in exile. Did you know set Odette that my family had to live in exile my family exiled themselves here and my son my son disappeared I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry about your son I said my son was exiled was sent away to another world away from here and had a family of their own but I never heard from them since after that Derek and I have never had anyone else around in our actual immediate family alive since so they're probably dead they probably are I said Odette kept looking at Luther. I'm sorry, but you look familiar.

is that why you're staring at me he asked yes I would love to tell you the tale of how my family became exiled that would be nice. Your majesty we come all this way to talk to you anyway I didn't even know you still were alive. Oh, we're very much alive.

and so is Rothbart, but he doesn't know that I have any great-grandchildren, which is a good thing I guess knowing that I have a great great grandchildren would probably have set him off the edge. It probably would come in if it T is almost ready.

I was hoping I would be able to use my powers to set a lease, but I guess you all are pretty much not ghosts because if you were, she said touching Queen Odette, my hand would go right through you with your solid. Yes, dear, I am solid time passes us by though, but that doesn't mean we can't die. We're just old.

anyway, I'll tell you the story over some T about how my son went missing and then I'll ask you all some questions especially you e said pointing at my husband-to-be where did you come from and what happened? Well, ma'am OK then Your Majesty.

I think this is a good place to stop the store this chapter is not the whole story, but this chapter the next chapter will be Odette telling her story and that'll be for the next few chapters and then we'll get to part 2. I mean part three, but not yet I hope you enjoy this chapter chapter 16 secrets revealed.

What do you think they'll discover in the next chapter
