The destruction of the Heart of Shadow was a monumental victory for the resistance forces. The dark stronghold's collapse had crippled the enemy's operations and given Eldoria a much-needed respite. Yet, even in victory, Elara knew that the battle was far from over. The darkness, though weakened, was still a lurking threat, and vigilance was paramount.
Back at Emberfall, the resistance forces celebrated their triumph. The fortress buzzed with activity as soldiers tended to the wounded, repaired fortifications, and prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead. Elara, Aiden, and Roderic remained focused on the future, aware that the enemy would not remain idle.
