Scene description:

Torches slash through the darkness, casting jagged shadows against the trees. Smoke clogs the air, thick with the scent of burning wood. Shouts tear through the night—closer, louder. Footsteps thunder against the earth, the villagers’ rage pressing in.Alruna and Eira stumble onto the riverbank, lungs burning, legs shaking. The boat rocks violently against the shore, the river churning beneath it. 

Villager 1: “Get her!!”

Villager2 :”They’re not getting away with this!”

Villager 3 :” It’s all their fault!”

“There! A boat!”Alruna shouted as she pointed at the port.As she gets close,Alruna yanks at the knot, breathless. “Just hold on,I can untie this..”

Eira glances back at the torches closing in, her small hands clenched at her sides as she muttered to Alruna”They’re too close… We can’t get out of this together.”

Alruna struggles as she tries to untie the rope in distress.”No! I won’t let them take us! We’re leaving together!”

With a final tug, the rope slips free. She scrambles in, reaching for Eira. “Eira, get in the boat! Now!”

But Eira doesn’t move.She glances back at the torches closing in, her small hands clenched at her sides. “You have to go. I’ll hold them off.”

The villagers are getting closer and catching sight of the sisters.Eira knows that they do not have much time left,in order to survive,someone has to stay behind.

Alruna panics.”What?! Eira, don’t—! “

Eira tossed Alruna the ocarina she has for her keepsake and was determined to say goodbye.Her voice was shaking despite her trying to  stay strong.”Listen to me! “

“If I draw them away, you have a real chance. You have to take it.”

“No!” Alruna snaps. “They’ll kill you!”

Eira exhales sharply, eyes glinting with quiet resolve,smiling in pain and resolve.“Maybe… but if only one of us can make it, I’d rather it to be you.”

The first villager bursts through the trees. Eira turns on her heel and bolts towards another direction from them, vanishing into the forest being a part of firelit chaos.

Villager 1:”This way! I saw one going this way!!”

Villager2: “There’s one on the boat too! There!”

Villager 3: “Forget about that one, let’s go after the sister!”

Villager 4: “And let a witch go free?! No way!”

More angry villagers scream.The boat drifts amidst the chaos.

Alruna watches, heart hammering, her fingers gripping empty air where Eira’s hand should have been.Eira never looks back.
