The Prince and The Swans
The Prince having hit rock bottom after the tumultuous events of the evening, heads to the lake and perhaps the only solution to the pain and despair that fills him. Suddenly The Swan from his dreams appears to him, magnificent and powerful. The prince is instantly mesmerized by this vision before him...or is it a vision?
The other Swans appear as well - mystical, sensual, alluring - as they seem to beckon to him.
The Prince wants to be with them, become one of them, but other swans do not like this intruder.
With their leader gone, they quickly swoop down to attack. But The Swan comes in to his rescue....
..and thus starts the romance of acceptance and friendship between the swan and the man...
The Prince has suddenly found himself alive in this wonderous world of beauty, of peace, of freedom...
.....and feelings of love, desire and needs unfulfilled until now, begin to overtake him.
And then suddenly, the swans are gone....as he stands at the edge of the lake where he stood before, a tortured soul; now he feels suddenly transformed by this experience....or so he thinks...
