Chapter 2 or the story of how a duck became a girl
Once upon a time a little duck saw a beautiful ballerina near the lake. How beautiful she is, the duck thought, but how sad she looks. As she swam, following the ballerina, she wished to help her. And her wish was heard.
The queen has lost her heart, a voice said to the duck. Unnaturally unfrightened, the duck asked the voice how could she get it back. She can't, the voice told the little duck, she is doomed to be a dancing porcelain doll forever.
But I want her to dance happily, reclaimed the duck. The voice showed his body, he was an old man wearing strange clothes but his face was strangely enough to keep all the duck's attention. He approached the duck and said, you won't be able to enjoy her happiness, you will even risk your life. Still, you want to do it?
Without hesitating the duck said yes and the old man smiled.
Then you will need this, he said as he took out of his robe a necklace, a beautiful blue little stone with a silver chain. As he put it in the duck's neck, the animal was turned in a girl, a red haired girl with freckles and blue eyes. She splashed in the water, but quickly swam to the lakeside.
The queen's heart has been crushed into pieces, so nobody could have it at once. You will have to find every piece and then she will recover her feelings, happiness included. You will have enemies and allies, but you alone have to give every piece of heart to her.
That was the mission the strange man gave the former duck. That was the mission the girl accepted.
Next chapter, in progress. Wait for it, probably ready next week ;)
