Once upon a time, there lived a duck. The duck was turned into a girl by a great wizard so that she could be with the prince that she loved. But the great wizard told her that the moment she confesses her love to him, she will disappear in a great white light. She agreed, if only to save the life of her prince. But her prince, in the course of our tale, found his true princess. The duck returned to her original form, to forever bask in the happiness of her prince and his true love.

"Ahiru."

"Qua..."

"Ahiru, wake up."

"Qua? QUA!!"

Fakir! What are you doing there?

"Ahiru, you're such a lazy duck."

"Quuuuuaaa!"

Idiot! I'm not the one waving a piece of bread in front of a duck...

"Here, I brought you this."

"Qua."

Thank you, Fakir.

"..."

"Qua Qua Qu-- Qua?"

It's good... Fakir, why are you looking so sad?

"Is it good?"

"Qua."

Delicious.

"Hm. That's good."

"Qua."

Fakir... you're smiling, but why are your eyes so lonely?

"Ahiru..."

"Qua?"

What is it?

"What is it like to be a duck?"

"Quaaa... Qua Qua Qu Qu Qua Qua Quuuuaaa!!! Qu Qua Quu Qua Quu Qua Qua Qa Quu Qua Qua Qu. Qua!"

Hmm... I think I may drown a little sometimes, but I've been a duck all my life. And I get to see all the people from before, even if they don't really remember me, but I'm okay. Fakir!

"Is it fun?"

"Qua!"

Of course!

"Do you miss being Ahiru?"

"Qu--- ..."

I have only been a girl for Mytho. After that, I am just a duck. As long as Mytho is happy, then I am happy being a duck. Sometimes I miss being human, but you are here, so I am fine the way I am.

"I'm sorry, Ahiru."

"Quu?"

Why?

"I couldn't do anything for your story. I thought that I could write your story again, but somehow... I cannot. I'm sorry Ahiru..."

"Quu..."

Please don't cry, Fakir. Don't cry...
