The river just beneath your feet basked in the midnight moon's glow as you stood and stared into the seemingly endless body of water just a few meters away from your position. You haven't really been keeping track of the days spend here but you know it's been a while since your initial kidnapping and imprisonment. You don't bear any chains to weigh you down but you can still feel yourself being dragged down with each day that passes by from the curse placed on you. You may not be bound to a singular dungeon cell but you're still trapped within the borders of night and day and the forest and it's lake

The sound of a chuckle coming from the woods just behind you don't even phase you anymore, you know he's here and you know he's just thriving seeing you miserable and under his spell. The sound of approaching footsteps doesn't even phase you as you continue to stare into the dark waters

"Aren't you growing rather bored of this nightly dance, my dear swan?"

Speaks the velvet soft voice just behind you, you can almost hear the smirk in it too...

"You know all you have to do is surrender...don't you?"
