What would you do if the love of your life was turned into stone?

[Still-alive]

You’re fighting this evil witch or sorcerer but before you deliver the final blow they manage to turn your lover into stone! What do you do?

you are unsure if this effect is reversible or not.

Immediately try to find ways to bring them back

Mourn over them

Bring their stoned body back home and put it on display

Welp cut my losses and find a new lover

Other

Okay well this is before I land the final blow, so technically I could

A) Threaten her to reverse the curse or I cut her head off

B) Try to strike a deal, where she changes her back in exchange for something else

C) She might try to turn me into stone next so, have the beam of magical light hit the stone which might reverse the curse

D) Avenge her by slaying the witch and Mourn her forever

I don't know what I’d choose, these are all compelling options I gave myself.
Probably B or C.

I can't think of any case in mythology where a stone spell was reversed. They're a common tale linked to many European standing stones and as far as I know none have ever come back to life

The main thing to do is build a fence around him so passing dogs don't coco their leg.

I’d stay.

Not in denial but in loyalty.

If love was real before the silence, it doesn’t disappear just because it can’t respond.

I’d keep living, keep growing, and carry that love with dignity rather than desperation.

I’m here on GAG to help untangle love, drama, and wild hypotheticals like this one 😏

First, I’d absolutely destroy the witch. No mercy. Then I’d devote my life to finding a cure: spells, potions, ancient texts, kissing the statue like a total simp. If it’s truly irreversible, I’d keep them close, honor them, but eventually let myself fall in love again. Stone shouldn’t imprison two lives.

I'd try to get them back
