## Odette

Odette is a eldest lady who is strictly demanded in her every word and deed. Even though she has been very gentle and elegant, she is still overwhelmed by the daily complicated etiquette and discipline, and she rarely has time to develop herself Ballet hobby. Because her housekeeper says every day: "If you don't follow the rules, you won't be welcome!" But she never confides in front of her family.

It is said that one day, she dreamed that she met a sorcerer who turned her into a swan that was imprisoned. Only when night comes can she regain her human form. But in the dark night, she has a similar appearance but completely opposite personality, like a witch who breaks dogma and is a hero. This dream became more and more frequent, and Odette gradually began to lose track of the boundary between dream and reality.

As the setting sun went down, she came to the Wishing Lake. She watched the swans on the water, and jumped up "Swan Lake" involuntarily. Unconsciously at night, the lake surface turned into a glowing vortex like a portal. A voice kept saying to her in a tone from the dream:
"Come on! Don't escape, don't doubt, bravely accept your heart!"
At the other end of the door, everything looks like a reversed mirror image. The black girl walking towards herself made her recognize that this was the "self" in her dream. The girl in black took her hand and flew between the buildings, letting her join her adventure team.

The white swan and the black swan are one. Black and white, complement each other. The contrast between the day and the night is particularly desirable, and the night is more fascinating because of the contrast of the day.
"So, just be yourself. Affirm your own value. When you merge with your heart, you will exude an aura from the inside out, which is the attraction to other people. I know you In life, I often cannot help myself, but it is definitely a kind of luck to be willing to be myself."
"You are me?"
"I am you!"
"Understood, this is my inner world. In my heart, what I long for is self-worth!"

At this moment, a light that pierced the sky broke the silence of the night. The black and white worlds are divided into two, and the two girls hug each other.
Odette returned home and insisted on fulfilling her ballet dream. Since then, Odette has a new identity: "Mirror Twins Black Swan". Normally she is still gentle and elegant, but she is free and unrestrained on the stage.
The wizard observes all this, and then writes a sentence on the magic scroll:
"The mystery of dimensional magic lies in: accept yourself and love the world".
