The room trembled as the shadows, feeling the warmth of those memories fill me.

The shadows faltered, their grip loosening as light began to pierce through the darkness. But just as I thought I had gained the upper hand, the curse unleashed a final, desperate attack, crashing battled my light, and I felt a connection strengthen between Druvan and me, a shared understanding of our intertwined fates. "Focus on the love you felt for me," Druvan urged, his voice echoing in the chaos. "It's the only way to weaken her hold!"

I steadied my breath, envisioning the moments we shared—the laughter, the warmth, the connection that transcended even death. "I will not let you consume me!" I shoutedinto me like a wave.

I stumbled backward, my heart racing. "Aisha!" I called out, feeling the edges of my vision blur.

"I'm here!" she shouted, rushing to my side. "We can't give up!"

With her by my side, I drew upon our friendship, our shared laughter, and unwavering support. "Together!" I screamed, channeling that energy into a final chant, the words reverberating through the air.

The shadows howled, writhing as the light grew brighter. "NO!" the apparition shrieked, its form disintegrating in the brilliance of our combined strength.

And then, in a blinding flash, the darkness shattered, scattering like smoke in the wind.
