 It is about to kill Sooz as well, but Schmendrick calls upon the unicorn Amalthea for aid.Amalthea quickly slays the wounded griffin and, though King Lír dies from his wounds (though not before joyously reuniting with the unicorn), she then brings Malka back to life with a touch of her magic horn.Amalthea soon vanishes without a trace, and Schmendrick and Molly depart to bury King Lír.
