And so it was done…
The 'not so tragic tale' of The Prince and the Raven... comes to an ending with The Prince and Princess Rue being whisked away in a carriage by two beautiful swans, leaving Fakir and Duck to do as they please.
Drosselmeyer could not believe that the characters in the story could possibly pull the strings into making it a happy ending; he simply could do nothing alas and moved on to find another means of starting a new story.
The town had become how it originally was. Mr. Cat had now literally become a cat with a family and wife of his own; Ducks own friends, Pike and Lilie, and everyone else in the academy had continued living on like nothing had happened, as if no one had ever heard of Duck.
Though just because everything seemed like it should be, does not mean that everyone completely forgot about the tale...
Drosselmeyers decedent, Fakir, was still able to write stories and make them come to life with in his writing, with of course Duck by his side.
But what indeed became of Duck after the story of The Prince and the Raven?
Did she simply vanish as the old story had presumed to happen?
And so begins the start of a new tale of a Duck once called,
Princess Tutu.
