D3 Try to Move Mallory
"Okay, we don't have time to wait around," Mira decided. "I just hope you're not too heavy in addition to being breakable."
She slipped her arms under Mallory's figure and slowly lifted her from the bench. Things seemed to be going well, and Mira managed to turn and carry Mallory towards the table.
"All right, see, everything's going to be fine," Mira said as she carefully set Mallory down on the table and started to back away.
But she suddenly noticed the sound of glass being chipped away or breaking. And chinks began to appear all over Mallory's form. The sorceress appeared on the other side of the table, and her red magic swept into the chinks. Mira watched as Mallory's essence was seized in the red light of the sorceress's power and drawn out of the glass figure that shattered into pieces.
The magic swept Mallory into a small crystal held by the sorceress who shot Mira a cruel smile.
"No, I saved her," Mira protested. "You can't do this!"
"Foolish girl. You do not understand," Alastrid scoffed. "You did not to ease her fears by having to save her. This duck needed to find the courage to break her own curse. You didn't give her the chance to do that."
"I can't let you take her," Mira said as she started to go around the table.
"It's too late. She's mine now," Alastrid assured her. "But if you like saving your friends so much, see if you can help the other two."
She laughed and disappeared with Mallory. Mira suddenly felt the castle tremble under her as if an earthquake had begun. The shield finally fell from the wall behind her, but now there was a threat that the whole castle would fall on top of them.
Mira rushed over to Wildwing and tried to pick him, but he was so heavy that she could only drag him. She managed to pull him out to the garden, and then she hurried back for Nosedive. But she couldn't manage to lift a stone statue.
Suddenly the floor gave way beneath her, and Mira fell into a deep cavern under the castle. The shaking stopped, and Nosedive remained a statue just a foot away from the edge of a deep pit.
In the darkness below, Mira managed to crawl out of some debris, but she cried out in pain and collapsed on the ground. She felt pain like she'd never known in her left leg and knew that it must be broken.
Mira stared up at the opening of the pit and wondered what would happen now.
Ending #4 – You were able to help Mira save Tanya, Grin, and Duke, but you lost Mallory, while Wildwing and Nosedive are still cursed.
If you want to try for a different ending, you still have choices. You can choose to go back to an earlier point in the story, before this happened, and choose differently.
Or the story can end here if you want.
