Author's note: Hi, people. This is my baby, the first fanfic I've ever posted. Please treat it kindly.
Obviously (disclaimer), the story and characters aren't mine although I really wish they were (Harry Potter and Princess Tutu belong to JK Rowling and Ikuko Itoh respectively), but the plot is.
This story is told in 150-word snippets, and I will be updating every Saturday excepting unforeseen circumstances such as evil tests and nefarious writer's blocks.
Fakir stared at the owl rapping on his window. The bird gazed back impassively, brandishing its leg, to which was tied an envelope, and Fakir fought the urge to sigh. Why do I have the feeling that I can wave any peace and quiet goodbye?
"I suppose you want me to let you in," Fakir ventured, opening the window as the owl hooted affirmatively. It flew in and perched on his chair, holding out its leg.
"For me?" The yellowish envelope seemed to be made of parchment, thick and heavy-looking. Feeling slightly ridiculous, Fakir freed the envelope from the bird and examined it curiously. It was sealed with a purple wax emblem: an "H" flanked by a snake, a lion, an eagle, and a badger. He turned it over, glanced at the emerald lettering, and froze.
"Ahiru Gosling, Kinkan Town"
He only knew one Ahiru… and she was a duck.
AN: So anyways, this was the first installment of what's shaping up to be a very long fic. I hope you enjoyed it.
By the way, Ahiru's last name in this is indeed Gosling (not related to Ryan Gosling). I found this name to be incredibly appropriate, as it is a common last name in Britain and means "a young goose" or "a foolish and naïve person."
Since today is a Monday, the second chapter will be posted this Saturday (five days people!).
