Spellbound

In the end, the curse that turned Ellian’s parents into monsters was not just a magical mishap but a symbolic reflection of their failing marriage. Their constant fighting and inability to resolve their differences had created a toxic environment, which was literally transformed into a monstrous form by the Dark Forest’s dark magic. Throughout their journey, it becomes clear that the true obstacle preventing them from reversing the curse isn’t a magic potion or spell, but their unwillingness to reconcile and communicate. The Oracles reveal that only their genuine desire to be together and to mend their relationship can lift the curse, but since they are ready to separate, they cannot enter the Pool of Light.

When Ellian learns about her parents’ decision to end their marriage, she is heartbroken and frustrated. Her innocent hope that her parents could be cured and stay together is shattered, and her emotions overwhelm her. Yet, in the final moments, her love for her family proves stronger than her despair. Using her courage and understanding, Ellian encourages her parents to see that even if their relationship has failed, they can still find happiness apart. By embracing their need to split, Ellian helps them accept their fate and break free from the curse.

As her parents step into the Pool of Light, their monstrous forms dissolve and they return to their human selves. The ending emphasizes that sometimes, letting go of a troubled relationship can be the best choice for everyone involved. Ellian’s heroic act shows that love isn’t always about holding on, but knowing when to release what is no longer healthy. Now, despite her parents living separately, Ellian remains deeply loved by both, and she finds happiness in the understanding that her family can find peace in their own ways. It’s a heartfelt reminder that honesty and acceptance can bring wholeness, even when circumstances are difficult.
