Derek had been looking for you…for over a few weeks now.
Prince Derek had been betrothed to you since childhood. After he had admitted that there was nothing else to you but your beauty, you had ran from the palace in tears.
You got captured by an evil sorcerer, who held you in a secret castle in front of a lake hours and hours away from Derek’s palace. Under a terrible spell, you now were transformed into a swan whenever a moon was not out in the sky each night.
Last night, while hunting with his servant best friend, Bromley, Derek had almost killed you in your swan form, but luckily, you transformed back into a human. He had kissed you and held you and had wanted to bring you back to the palace with him when you told him about Rothbart, the evil sorcerer, and how the only way to break the swan spell was by a vow of everlasting love from him to you.
He invited you to the grand ball at his palace the following night, promising to make his vow of love to you in front of the kingdom.
Unfortunately, Rothbart had heard the whole conversation, and he revealed to you that there would be no moonlight and therefore you would not be able to go to the ball and dance with Derek.
He transformed his hag assistant into a complete copy of you, so that she would go to the ball as you, dance with Derek, and get the vow of love, killing you.
You were currently in a water dungeon in your swan form with Bromley, who had been locked up as well.
