Descendant of Swan (The Descendants 1 fanfic )

19. Swan's history

Once upon a time, there was a small beautiful kingdom in a small island between Neverland and Auradon.

The rulers changed era by era meanwhile us, the enchanted creatures, watched the revolution from a far.

We, the enchanted creatures, were the first creatures that were created and watched humans evolve. Enchanted creatures have various of advantages physically, mentally nor magically. Fairies, witches, wizards was only another creature created after us.

Enchanted creatures lives longer than human lifespan, however we are not immortal. We could die due to old age but not sickness, magical attacks but not physical. It was told that the children of first generation will always be twins.

While there were children, the magical ability will decrease little by little and so does the lifespan. Not only that, our physical appearance differed from the first as they had golden hair with blue crystal eyes but we had brown hair and eyes. Fortunately when we casted magic  our appearance will change similar to the first generation. Proving our own existence , the enchanted creatures.

Sadly by the time I am writing this, the only first generation that survived is my father, Mr. Robarth Swan.

He was the only source of information about our elders and what happened.Unlike me and my twin sister, Odile , the second generation had their parents wiped away.

He had storied about how he was a sole survivor. We were once abundant, but was hunted by the humans. In the beginning it was difficult to imagine wounded by magic but as time goes , he later revealed with a pained face. It was the fairies that had launched the attack by the command of humans.

I keep insisting him to reveal more, as I had wanted to know about our mother but before I had even asked, his face always looked me with great pain. He taught everything he knew about magic and trained us hard. Odile had the thirst to be praised by father but he would never let a praise through his lips.

After years had gone by, I came across a man, a human while I was training shapeshifting magic, a swan. I was terrified as he aimed me with his bow and several man following him. I quickly dodged and tried to fly away, but his arrow had striked by wings and fell far a little distance.

My form shifted to my original. I was frightened of what he will do to me. Images of what my father had told me ran wild as my body shaked uncontrollably. I shut my eyes preparing for the worse and waited for a while.

Nothing happened, as I opened my eyes, his sleeve was ripped and he was tending my wounds with a cloth. As he shifted his gaze, he moved his hands and touched my face so gently. Our eyes met and at that time, I noticed his gorgeous features, tanned skin, deep blue stormy eyes , sharp jaw which topped up his muscular look.

My heart began to thump as he uttered his concern of my wound. I looked at it for awhile and remembered that it had healed. This man had no idea who I am, what I am. That was the beginning of the story.

Days went by and I sneaked away every midnight just to meet him beside the lake where we first met. We talked about ourselves while hiding what I am and who he is. His name was Siegfried. Dreams, hopes, our conversation keeps going on and on, and every second being with him, my love gets deeper.

One day my father knew about it and was furious. He revealed that mother had actually died protecting me from the humans while now I was being with one. His rage was so bad that he had turned violent and cursed me into the first being when I met him and commanded Odile to go switch my position.

He insisted that humans know no mercy when it comes to us, enchanted beings. I was furious and told father he was not like how he said humans were. That only fueled his rage and he locked me up while I was a swan and flew to assist Odile.

The other second generations knew about my meeting and always looking forward about it but they started suspect when they saw Odile with my father meeting him. They sneaked to my house and found me, while trying my best to open the cage, my father had just arrived at home.

He snickered at the sight of my friends and cursed all of them into swans, he told me that even the prince can't differentiate me and Odile. He laughed so much and slammed the door while Odile only looked at me with tears forming and went back to her room. That moment, she screamed and changed, like she had transformed herself into evil. 

As the next day came, Odile talks as if she was a different person. She hisses that she would get marry today with Siegfried and reveals that he is a prince of the island. I was flustered upon the revelation while she and father behind her walk away. My heart was so pained back then, not long I felt a pain on my head.

It was a voice, talking to me... good . Right at that moment my body went hot as if I was burned from within and light was blinding myself, and when I opened my eyes. I was in my original form...

I felt... more powerful than before... I casted myself and quickly appear infant of their marriage. Siegfried was there, standing with a milky white suit on, hair shifted to the side and his perfect figure ; Odile with the most beautiful dress I had ever seen, and a veil dropping from her hair. Lucky enough, Siegfried was able to notice that Odile was the fake and hugged me tearfully. The surrounding was royal families, and a crowd of people was shocked when they spot two people with the same face.

Father quickly rage and tried to attack but I defended it with the power I had newly acquired. Odile also helped father but my power was strong enough to drop them down. Both of them on the floor, defeated, was what I had thought. I looked at them and back to Siegfried hugging him ever so tightly.

Unknown to me Odile took a knife and almost stabbed me but Siegfried defended me. However, he turned the knife facing Odile, which caused Odile to bleed and collapsed. My tears quickly dropped as I saw my twin sister on the floor. I tried to heal and stop the blood but it just kept flowing...

My sister's eyes later changed and she looked at me with a smile, it was devastating, and confusing. She later told me that it was her choice... A voice came through her head asking if she wanted good or evil and shall the other have the rest... Tears started to flow from her while she touched my face... her last breathe was live happily.

I cried so loud and mourned for days, weeks and months. After those months, Prince Siegfried still accompany me every time I had dreamt about her even until when I mourned for her. However, about my dad... he vanished just like that... The thing that vanish is not only he, but also my powers... My appearance also changed into  golden hair and clear blue eyes after that event.

I have so concluded that twins will have enormous power bestowed into them while they must choose their path between good or evil . If one chooses evil the the other will have good and vice versa. 

Now I am Queen Swan with my beloved King Siegfried, in an honour to my sister, my last name shall be bestowed to the two lives inside me. It was a joyous moment, the people surprisingly agreed and celebrated the lives inside me. I hoped that such event would never occur to my little swans.

Therefore to the ones who held this book, may this information be useful. Especially for my dear twins, if this book is in your hand... that means something had happened to me and your father.Please do not feel sad for us and live. Be careful with the powers, do not let people cloud your judgement, be brave and always help each other.

Regards,

Queen Odette Swan
