In this world spun from the threads of fairy tales, not every story ends in happiness…

Here, the Little Match Girl freezes to death on New Year’s Eve.

Little Red Riding Hood is devoured by the wolf.

The Steadfast Tin Soldier melts away in the heart of the flames.

And the Little Mermaid becomes sea foam, never living the dream she longed for.
Because the truth is:

Not everyone is born a prince or princess.

And not everyone who enters this world becomes a noble sorcerer or a hero destined for glory.

Some are simply fated to face life as it is—

its betrayals, its bitter cold, its merciless solitude.

But…

Who said we must surrender to those endings?

“All those tales… I rewrote them.”

“Why? Because I simply want a better life in this enchanted world.”

So declared Bell, the young man who fell into the heart of the stories.

Now he rides upon the back of a great swan, beside the Match Girl he saved from her tragic fate, soaring with her toward a new kingdom—

Where new adventures await.

Perhaps new powers… or even greater magic.

But none of that truly matters.

For what he longed for from the very beginning…

was to craft a more beautiful ending—

for himself,

and for those he loves.
