I took the final step out of the portal and landed like I always had. On my face. I shook off Mytho's offer of his hand and picked myself up and glanced over the view. It was exactly like I had always thought it would be a fairytale castle made up of charming pastels complete with 3 balconies, all with a view and a dark castle where the evil raven would plan out his revenge.

Mytho stared down at me "Does this bring back any memories?"

I looked at the ground. "I'm not really from here. I was just a duck before Drosselmeyer decided to give me a part." He gave me a look of sympathy, but didn't say another word about it. Instead he walked with me towards the.... Dark castle? I pulled on his sleeve and asked him "Why are we walking towards the Raven's castle?"

He gave me a sad look "Ever since Drosselmeyer took our son, Rue has been miserable. I thought returning to her first home might be good for her."

The rest of the walk to the castle was silent, which was an eerie thing in a land that looked so picturesque. The trees branches were stretched out as if to grab those walking the path, and the pond began to resemble a swamp, the contents of its blue depths almost frightening. In fact I was starting to realize something. This fairy tale, looked more like a gothic horror novel. I couldn't keep myself from asking Mytho what was wrong here, why it all looked so fake.

He glanced at me from the corners of his eyes, clearly confused, "It has always been this way."
