That's right.

I've always felt the end of the series was right and proper for the story, but tragic for these two characters. Because the theme of the second season was to fight your fate and achieve glory rather than happiness. Mytho and Rue fought their fate, but Fakir and Tutu ended up fullfilling their fate. And while they did get glory-- they alone, of all the characters that fought so hard, were forced to accept who they were in the end. They couldn't change it like the others had managed to. I found that so profoundly sad. Especially given that Ahiru is a duck and to deny that part of her is to deny her... and yet she was also a human, and I am a firm believer in the Last Unicorn philosophy that says once you spend time as a human, you can never go completely back to being the animal you were before, however magical. A part of you will always be human. And in that sense, Ahiru was jipped. She fought the hardest, and she saved everyone with Fakir, but she was forced backward. It's just so damn sad.

::wry grin:: I found it perhaps melancholy, but appropos. In a way, I didn't feel that she was forced backwards, but instead into being a better 'her'...that for most of the series she was stressed out about being 'just a duck', but it was being willing to be fully herself that it seemed she had the best successes. Fakir is 'just a writer', but he's a writer who can shape realities. Duck is 'just a duck', but she's a duck who can communicate beyond her means and is more human (humane?) than most of her peers. =)
