Amara drops to her knees, fighting with every ounce of strength she has left to resist the sword's control. The weapon pulses violently, trying to regain its hold on her, but Amara, fueled by Lily's unwavering belief in her, manages to resist—if only for a moment.

Lily seizes the chance and takes the sword from Amara's trembling hands, but the moment she touches it, she feels its dark power surge through her. Lily fights to resist the sword's influence, knowing that if she doesn't destroy it now, it will continue to claim lives.

In a final act of courage, Lily smashes the sword against a nearby rock, breaking its blade in half. A blinding light erupts from the sword as it shatters, releasing the dark energy that had been trapped within. The curse is broken, but the toll it took on Amara is undeniable.

Scene 1: Aftermath

As the light fades, Amara collapses, weak but free from the sword's grasp. Lily rushes to her side, cradling her best friend in her arms. The forest around them seems to sigh with relief, the oppressive atmosphere lifting.

Amara looks up at Lily, tears in her eyes, her voice barely a whisper.

Amara (weakly): "I'm... sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just... I was so angry."Lily (tears falling): "It's over now. You're free. We're going to fix this together."
