Narrator
[First lines]
Once upon a time, there was a king named William...who ruled a large and mighty kingdom...and yet, he was sad...for he was growing old and had no child to inherit the throne. Then, happily, a daughter was born...a princess...and she was given the name Odette. [Cheers and Crowds] Kings and queens came from all around to offer the gifts to the child. Among them was the widow Uberta and her young son Prince Derek. It was then that William and Uberta happened upon the same idea. Derek and Odette will be brought together each summer in hopes that they will fall in love and join their kingdoms forever. But unknown to all was another plan. That of the evil man named Enchanter Sorcerer Rothbart. Odette's birth was of little concern to him...for he was preparing to take William's kingdom, by means of the forbidden arts.(King William and his daughter in the magic smoke. Until a mighty bat) On the eve of his assault, William attacked...and Rothbart's powers were plunged into darkness. Despite calls for his death...the enchanter was only banished.
Rothbart
[his first words]
I'm not finished with you yet, Willie. Someday, I'll get my power back. And when I do, everything you own...everything you love, will be mine.
Narrator
[Rothbart leaves walking forest. While King William angrily stares on.]
Many feared King William too kind. But in time, the threat was forgotten...and all hopes turned to that not so distant summer...when Derek and Odette would meet.
