The Nutcacker Prince

The Land Of Snow ☃️

**
"We have to find a way to return you to your size.. Perhaps there's a way.."

The toys all began to think to help Ahiru return to normal. It was the least they could do to repay her for helping protect the nutcracker. The princess like doll soon spoke up to answer his question.

"Perhaps the sugar plum princess can help!"

Fakir eagerly nodded as he looked around and saw the small hole the mice came from. Looking to Ahiru, he held out his hand as if an indication that he would lead her to the princess.

"It's best we go together. Shall we? I'm sure she can perhaps change you to normal and perhaps help me in answering my questions."

After a while, Fakir soon spoke to the toys to return to their areas as they all bid Goodnight. The nutcracker now turns and went off to the area and looked in. It was quite dark.. Almost pitch black.. long into the tunnel was a small source of light! He wondered where it went..

now going inside, the nutcracker soon felt a breeze hit him as he saw small snowflakes fall around him. My, he sure went deep into the darkness, which soon was changed with the light! It seemed he was in a land full of snow.. Amazed, Fakir turned back and looked, in hopes of seeing Ahiru following, but if not it's understandable.

Ahiru covered her ears because of the kings loud screech as he had been stabbed at the heart. When the mouse king had fallen down in defeat, Ahiru and Fakir were surrounded by all the toys that cheered in victory!

However all Ahiru's attention was at Fakir. She felt like he wanted to say something to her and if he did she could not register it. Ahiru wanted to express her gratitude for him saving her earlier from when she fell. But..She started thinking of home..It wasn't quite right...She wanted to go back to her simple life as a girl..

However Ahiru's thoughts were simply blown away when she heard the princess spoke aloud.

"Perhaps the sugar plum princess can help!"

Ahiru smiled thinking she may just get her wish. Oh how wonderful it would be to get back to normal! Ahiru couldn't wait a second longer looking at Fakir before starting down at his hand in confusion.

"It's best we go together. Shall we? I'm sure she can perhaps change you to normal and perhaps help me in answering my questions."

Ahiru smiled brilliantly as she took his hand excitedly. The tunnel however was very dark..it sent shivers down her spine..she stayed close behind him not wanting to get lost in the darkness.

For awhile it was dark. But soon came a bright light..it was comforting! Once for what felt like forever Ahiru and Fakir were engulfed with light! Her feet were buried in snow and it made her freeze. It was beautiful.. snowflakes gently fell.. sweet sound of music from afar..it was paradise!

Ahiru looked at Fakir in joy as snowflakes fell down upon them. Ahiru realized she was still holding his hand turning bright red letting go of his hand immediately.

"AckSorryIshouldn'thaveholdyouhandforthatlong-sorry-sometimesIcanbereallyclumsylikemyfriendsPikeandLillesay-I'msorry!"

**
The nutcracker gripped her hand once in his hold as the two set off to show her comfort and protection.. He felt.. Strange.. Turning back occasionally to check on Ahiru, Fakir would ask if she's alright. N-Not because he cared that's for sure! H-He was just worried! Yeah.. worried-, gasp!
