Chapter 1: Terminaisons Ancien et Nouveau Départ
Once upon a time lived an author and a duck, the two were both deeply in love with one another without the other knowing. The author, a former knight who had traded in his sword for the pen, had pledged to remain at the ducks side forever, and secretly pledging to protect her always.
The duck, a former girl who saved the town from a vicious raven alongside a noble prince and his loyal knight, promised her author that she would go back to being who she was, even if it made her unhappy.
But this duck's young author was not just any author, the stories this dark-haired man wrote would become reality, bending and twisting the fate of the town and the fates of those within it. The young man wishes to write a story in which his duck would become a girl once again and they would live happily ever after, like his friends a Prince and Princess. But no matter how the boy tried, he couldn't get the words to come. He would stay up night after night attempting to figure out what to do for his duck. It pained him to see the sad look in her eyes when she believed he wasn't looking.
This young author's duck was not just any duck; she was a duck full of hope that could change a story's ending from a tragedy to a happy ending. She was a duck who lived among humans, attending ballet classes and helping save the town unbeknownst to her fellow classmates. She would change into Princess Tutu, helping those who deal with emotions that are not theirs, and making them happier than before. The Duck yearned to be a human girl once again, to live next door to her two best friends Piqué and Lillié, to stroll past the fountain in the courtyard, and even to hear her former ballet teacher threaten to marry her. Most of all she wished to be able to touch her green-eyed author and chase all his troubles away. To the little duck her author seemed to always have something troubling him, and she prayed that it wasn't her. She did not want to be the cause of her love's burden, her love who would visit her everyday at 3:15 and stay until the sun set. Her love that would always bring her food and news of the academy, her love that would always be there to cheer her up. Her love that was as loyal to her as she was to him.
The two young creatures wanted to fix the other's problems and that made them grow stronger. Little did they know that one day, on a warm fall morning, the two's fates would change. But this time, they have the power to choose if it would be a change for better, or for worse.
