Synopsis (Happy Ending Version)

Prologue – The Enchantment

In a quiet forest, a young girl, Odette, enters, drawn by the beauty of nature. Innocently, she gathers flowers, enchanted by their color and fragrance.

She exits, and moments later returns as a young maiden—still filled with wonder, yet more aware of the world around her.

Suddenly, the dark sorcerer Von Rothbart appears. His presence shifts the atmosphere, turning the forest from magical to foreboding.

Odette tries to escape, but Rothbart casts a powerful spell. Before she can flee, she is transformed into a swan—her freedom taken, her fate bound to the enchanted lake.

As the spell takes hold, Odette disappears into the darkness, leaving behind only the echo of her innocence lost.
