Christíana danced through all the hurdles.
She collected all the shards of Ken's heart.
Christíana slaughtered demons and monsters thrown at her by the Owl with ease.
And every morning returned to Swan Lake to live as a Swan.
Until there was one shard left.
She knew what it was: the shard of love.
Ken already had it; it was what made him remember her.
All she had to do was return the rest of his heart.
The easiest way would be to kiss him, and the magic would flow.
Christíana had to get to Ken's castle—to the ball his mother was throwing.
If Ken's vulnerable love shared was swayed to another; he would be lost to her.
Christíana would become a swan forever.
The Owl would win.
Ken had to accept her again; they had to find each other.
They would always find each other.
