As you stand before the Serpent of Shadows, your decision to press on with the battle reverberates through the courtyard. The clash of wills and weapons fills the air, each strike resonating with the weight of destiny. In a moment of clarity amidst the chaos, Marzanna's eyes meet yours, pleading for release from her cursed form. Suddenly, a blinding light erupts from the ancient amulet hanging around your neck, bathing the courtyard in its radiant glow. The very essence of darkness recoils at the purity of this light, revealing cracks forming in the Serpent's twisted scales.
The ground trembles beneath you as Marzanna, now more woman than beast, falls to her knees, tears of gratitude glistening in her eyes. The curse that bound her begins to unravel, shadows dissipating like smoke in the wind. With a final surge of power, she reaches out to you, offering a chance to rewrite her tragic fate.
Will you extend your hand and channel the light within you to break the curse once and for all, freeing Marzanna from the chains of darkness? Or will doubts cloud your heart, hesitating to trust in the redemption of a being long lost to despair?
