My Black Swan

I have no reason for writing this except for that I wanted a scene with Opal and her adopted father. I hope it's good.

Story
"I shall slay you, yon dreadful beast!"

King Garvey watched his two daughters, Opal and Fauve, playing. Opal was the hero, and Fauve was the dragon.The silent dragon. He chuckled.

But his amusement was short-lived as another eight year old girl joined in. It was Luna. "Fauve, need I remind you Opal is the wicked queen's daughter!" She hissed, pulling Fauve away.

Opal stood there, her lower lip trembling as tears welled up in her eyes. King Garvey shook his head. Of course it would happen today when his wife and nephew Larkin were both away on a trip. Those were always the two who comforted Opal when Luna stole her sister.

His thoughts were interrupted when Opal suddenly took off running. Worried that she would run away from home, and wondering what he would do if she did, he followed her.

Needless to say, he was not expecting her to turn to the dungeon, Even more surprised to see her enter the magic proof cell they had once locked her birth mother in.

She sat there and stared straight ahead. King Garvey knew he had to talk to her, try to cheer her up, though he wasn't good at that. "Hello my swan." He said softly as he sat down next to her.

'I'm not a swan Daddy. Swan's are pretty and good. Fauve's your swan." Opal protested, her lower lip quivering. The king shook his head. "Fauve's my white swan Opal." He told her. "What other kind of swan is there?" Opal asked.

"You are my black swan Opal. Black swans are different and very rare. But sometimes, they are better than the white swans. White swans are pretty and good like you said, but they are all alike. Black swans dare to be different, and sometimes that's what the world needs. The world will need you as you are Opal, and when it does, you can prove Luna and everyone else who doubt you that you are a fantastic hero, just like you were playing." King Garvey declared.

Opal smiled as she gave him a kiss. "Thanks Daddy. I love you." She said.

"I love you too my black swan."
