AN: Chapter thirty!


Weeks later, Fakir was no further on his quest to free Ahiru from her unknown curse. While he was much more knowledgeable about the world he was now inhabiting, Ahiru's inability to return to a human form baffled him. All the books in Flourish and Blotts on Transfiguration explained that no spell that changed the human body was truly permanent and irrevocable unless the caster was incredibly powerful in both will and magic (and even then the alterations would only last a couple of years).

However, even allowing for the dubious time passage that Drosselmeyer had inflicted on Kinkan, Ahiru should have long changed back.

"This doesn't make any sense!" he muttered to the duck at his side, frustration clouding his features.

The waterfowl shrugged. Not that our lives seemed to make much sense either, her blue eyes and deadpan expression seemed to convey. Why should this be any different?


AN: Despite what it may seem, I'm neither dead nor on hiatus! Updates will just be very erratic.

See you next update! Some duck-time, same duck-channel!
