Chapter One: Tutu is Back
I am horrible with finding unique names for my characters. If you don't like the names of my OC's then put in suggestions if or when you review. This is my first time writing a Princess Tutu story, sort of. I actually started writing it about year ago-ish but I haven't typed it up. I already wrote 12 chapters, however, if you have any suggestions, please place it in the reviews. Please and thank you! By the way, the first chapter is the longest. I broke the other chapters down.
'Thinking'
"Talking"
If I owned Princess Tutu, she would have not ended as a duck.
Chapter One: Tutu is Back
Narrator: You've heard the story of the princess who confessed her love for a prince and became a speck of light before vanishing from the world. What if the princess never vanished from the world but merely from the human eye? In truth, she was only trapped in the form of a duck, that is, until her hidden prince comes to save her.
Story: "Hi Duck," Fakir greeted his feathered friend from the dock.
"Quack!" Duck noisely greets as she swims to the pier. It had been a year since the battle with the Raven. Yet, every morning Fakir would come to the lake and write his stories.
"I was able to snag some cheese bread for you," Fakir said as Duck happily flapped to the pier. Fakir broke up the cheese-filled bread for Duck to eat easier. "We are going to have three new students within the next week."
"Quack?"
"Don't worry. I'll sneak you in at some point so you can see them." Fakir looked at his watch. "I have to go. Karon wanted me back for lunch this time. See you tomorrow morning Duck. I'll come early since I have school tomorrow too." Fakir waved his good-bye and Duck tried to wave back to the best of her ability.
'If only I were human again. Then I could go with Fakir without hiding,' Duck thought.
'If only I could find a way to make Duck human again. Then we could spend the whole day together instead of just the morning. Of course I would rather die than say that to her,' Fakir thought.
When Fakir got back to Karon's house, there was a girl about sixteen sitting at the table with a drum in her lap and Karon was sitting across from her.
"Welcome home Fakir. You'll never guess who has come to visit," Karon greeted his nephew.
"It's been a while, zura." said the girl at the table.
"Uzura?! How…? You grew!" Fakir said in astonishment.
"Yes, I have, but we need to talk about Duck, zura."
"Why? Is something bad coming?"
"Not yet. There is, however, a way for Duck to become human permanently. But you must read the story of the hidden prince first, zura. Then when you see her tomorrow, mind you she will only have half an hour, you will have the choice to help her find her prince or not, zura." Uzura handed Fakir a book with the title: The Hidden Prince.
"So, I just have to read a story before seeing Duck again?"
"Yes, but I must warn you, zura, the ending is blank, zura."
"What? Why? Who-, "Fakir couldn't finish his thought. Karon got up and went into the kitchen but soon returned with a pot of soup and some bowls.
"I don't know, zura. You and Duck must find the hidden prince, zura. You will need Mytho and Rue's help later, but for now, Snow and Frost will help you two if you decide to help Duck, zura."
"Are you able to eat now Uzura?" Karon asked the grown puppet.
"Yes, but only liquids, zura."
"You're in luck, we are having tomato soup today," Karon said as they all sat down to eat.
Meanwhile, with Duck…
Duck watched as a couple of kids with their hoods up, maybe sixteen or so years old, ran along the edge of the lake. The girl dropped a book but they kept running without it. Duck swam over and then waddle next to the book. The title said 'The Hidden Prince'.
'I don't think I have ever heard of this book,' Duck thought. Normally she would know about a book because Fakir would tell her about them or read them to her. Duck flipped open the book with her beak and began to read. It took her half an hour to read all of it but the ending completely blank as if it was never finished. "WHAT! Who would do something like that? It's so cruel to leave a book unfinished! Yet the story seems familiar, especially the part where the princess turns into a speck of… light," Duck's eyes got wide. Of course her words came out as noisy quacks. "I need to get Fakir!" Duck shoves the book under a bush and then started to flap over to Fakir's house when she saw something shiny on the pier. She flew down to see what it was and found that it was a necklace on top of a note that said the following:
'Duck-
There is a way for you to be a human permanently. Put the necklace on when you see fakir tomorrow morning. Read "The Hidden Prince", then, if Fakir accepts to help you, you must find the hidden prince's memories and your own memories of your past life together. You must hurry before Octa corrupts the memory shards.
-Snow, Frost, and Uzura'
'Uzura? I haven't seen her in a long time. Oh! This is a P.S.'
'P.S. Once you put on the necklace, you will only have thirty minutes to be human unless Fakir helps.'
"So either way I will need Fakir's help.' Duck grabbed the note and necklace in her beak and awkwardly flew back to the bush with the book and placed the note and necklace in the bush. "Looks like I have to wait until morning. I wonder who the hidden prince is and why didn't I go with him to begin with?" Duck dives into the water to gather her dinner.
Okay people! Just for you, I have broken the first chapter into two chapters. Please review and tell me what I need to improve on or any request you might have. Hope you enjoyed. Stay human and don't let the zombies convert you!
