Some storyline changes??

In the original story there is a tortoise that carries her at the end, and I thought okay maybe the flying rocks was stupid and I was tired, a swimming turtle would make more sense at the cat apparition scene as they are standing by a river after all…

Also, the final scene could be her lying asleep to show it was her just dreaming everyything. I dont know if this is too cliche though.

Alternatively, I could keep the flying rocks or just leave that out and just pan to where they arrive at the palace, and then at the end when she is dead her body is taken by the turtle and it swims away… then ending with the final sleeping scene and tapestry in the bg.
