Now for this story two things. First Ahiru will be called Duck. Why? Well long story short it will be less confusing in this case I suppose. Second let's pretend that Fakir turned Duck back into a human after the Raven is defeated. OK? Great. Let's go.
Narrator's Pov (We are starting after the Raven is defeated)
With the Raven defeated things start to change back to normal. The dark sky clears up. People turn back to normal. Not before going to their houses though. The damage made clears up.
All that's left in the street is the prince, his princess and a now human Duck.
"Mytho look." Rue says.
She points to Duck's bruised body lying on the ground. They can see Duck going in and out of consciousness.
Fakir runs out to them. He gently picks up Duck and holds her bridle style. Finally Duck passes out.
"Come on." Fakir says.
Mytho and Rue follows him into his house and up to his room. He gently lays Duck down on his bed.
"Oh Duck." Fakir says.
Fakir starts to clean her wounds carefully and wrap them. Mytho and Rue stand to the side and watches. Both notice the gentleness Fakir is using with Duck. His care is swimming in his eyes.
"She saved us. Even as a duck she helped me." Mytho says.
"She truly is kind hearted. She grew on me." Rue says.
"That's Duck for you." Fakir says with a light smile not looking away from Duck's face.
"Will she be alright?" Mytho asks.
"She'll be fine. The cuts are shallow. Her arm will heal in a couple of days." Fakir answers.
Five hours pass and Duck finally starts to stir. Her eyes flutter open with a light moan escaping from her mouth. She looks around the room. She sees Mytho and Rue standing by her bed. And she sees Fakir sitting at her bedside.
"You're awake." Fakir says.
"What happened?" Ducks asks.
Before anyone can say anything, her eyes widen and she gasp.
"I spoke. I'm not a duck." Duck says surprised.
Duck looks at herself. She sees her legs and arms. She wiggles her nose.
"That is true." Fakir says with a small smile.
"But how? I don't have a heart shard." Duck asks.
"I wonder that too." Rue says.
"I rewrote her story. Now she can be human without a heart shard." Fakir says.
"Why? I thought you said we should be our true selves." Duck says.
"Well yes but you longed to be a girl. You would've been miserable as a duck again." Fakir replies.
"Thank you Fakir. Thank you so much." Duck says with a bright grin.
"That was awfully nice of you Fakir. It seems like you may have fallen in love with Duck here." Rue says with a smirk.
Duck blushes to the shade of a cherry. Fakir on the other hand tries to hide his.
"Like you said I was being nice." Fakir answers.
"Of course." Rue replies.
The next day the royal couple prepares to go back to the story. Duck goes with Fakir to the clock tower to say goodbye. There they also break Drosselmeyer's machine.
"Bye have a good life." Duck says.
Rue surprisingly hugs Duck. Duck returns the hug just watching her injured arm. Mytho and Fakir hug goodbye too. Soon the couple is off leaving Duck and Fakir.
"So now what Fakir?" Duck asks.
"Well now we wait for you to be all healed and then we go back to school and live a normal life." Fakir answers.
"Really, we get to go back to school. Can I do ballet again?" Duck asks excitedly.
"Yes you can and I will be right there with you. To make sure you're fine of course." Fakir says.
The two start to walk back to Fakir's house.
"Hey Fakir." Duck says.
"Yeah." Fakir answers.
"Umm since no one remembers anything except us and I'm technically not in school yet, where do I live?" Duck asks.
"Well you live here with me. And if anyone asks why just say we knew each other for a long time and you recently moved back." Fakir says.
"Oh you don't have to do that Fakir." Duck says blushing.
"Yes I do. Besides even if you were a duck you would be living with me. It's just now you only have to wait until they give you your own dorm room again." Fakir replies.
"But…" Duck says.
"No buts. The matter is final. You'll sleep in the extra room." Fakir cuts her off.
"Thank you." Duck says.
"You're welcome." Fakir says.
For the two this is the start of their normal lives.
Though a certain someone isn't pleased with this.
"No no no. My perfect tragedy. This can't happen." Drosselmeyer himself says.
"I know. If I can't have my tragedy then I'll just mess with the happy ending. And if that doesn't work then I'll give up my tragedy for good. But this will work." Drosselmeyer says.
It seems things are about to change.
