Well, Derek trained hard for Odette. See, before the king died, Derek found him lying in the forest and the last words the king told him were "It's not what it seems." The wizard had transformed himself into a terrible dragon the night Odette was captured, but in his dying moment the king didn't have enough strength to tell Derek what exactly happened. So Derek was left to guess what those words could've meant.
After months of researching and searching high and low for Odette, the prince discovered that maybe the one who stole her wasn't what he seemed. A creature instead of a human. He spent a lot of his time practicing his archery so that he'd be able to exact revenge. In the meantime, Odette was back at her lake, too ashamed of herself to escape and find Derek. But with a little help from her friends -- a frog, a turtle and a puffin -- Odette was able to find enough courage to leave and search for Derek herself.
And do you know what happened when she flew out and finally reunited with him?
