Fairy tales are more than true—not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten. — G.K. Chesterton
Image of the Day: “Wild Swan” by Roxaane Fyanucci
A Moonlit Reverie of Wings, Whimsy, and Wonder
Today’s Enchantment Image of the Day takes us not into battle or skies of fire—but into the hush of a bedtime tale. Roxaane Fyanucci’s “Wild Swan” is a magical tableau spun from moonlight and dreams, and it captures the quieter magic of the Legends of Flight round.
A young girl dozes peacefully in a hammock held by two stately, crowned swans—guardians of the skies and perhaps the guardians of her imagination. Around her, white rabbits in tiny capes prepare stars like messengers of the night, while flamingos dressed in royal regalia oversee the gathering from beyond sand-swept hills. Each detail hums with story: the half-eaten fruit, the glowing moon, the shimmer of stitched clouds and falling stars.
Roxaane conjures a universe where dreams are living things, and legends begin in sleep. The swan—long a symbol of transformation in folklore—reminds us of fairytales like The Wild Swans by Enchanted Fantasy, where love, silence, and endurance can undo curses. Here, the magic isn’t in battle or fire, but in love, comfort, and protection.
In a round like Legends of Flight, this image adds levity and softness to the skyborne saga. It shows that not all wings are for war—some are for lullabies, for carrying the small and sacred safely through the night.
Thank you, Roxaane Fyanucci, for lifting us into this gentle wonder. Let your dreams take wing… and let Enchantment carry you there.
