Bird of Prey by @shoedonym​

The problem with living in a world of magic, he would argue, is that the lines between fact, fiction and fairy tale blur.

They blur and blend together until hearsay becomes rumour, rumour becomes bedtime story, story becomes legend, and legend spreads through every village, right up to the point where Killian is told to never visit the lake on the third full moon of Spring.

To him, his mother, his town and his world, the facts are simple – it is dangerous, the swans cannot be trusted, the swans will lure men into the depths, down beneath dark, black waters until they come out the other side.

(Well, the ‘Otherside’.)

The facts are simple: beware the bathing swans.

Happy Birthday my gorgeous, prickly, runaway disney princess! 🍓🍓
