Chapter 9: The Siege of Blackwater Keep
Malric's forces occupied Blackwater Keep, the stronghold that controlled the Riverlands. Kael's army marched to its gates, their numbers bolstered by the villagers they had freed.
The battle was fierce. Rowan led the charge, smashing through the enemy's defenses, while Darian and Aria fought with unmatched precision. Selene healed the wounded, her magic saving countless lives.
Kael confronted the enemy commander atop the keep's walls. Their duel was brutal, but Kael's determination proved stronger. With a final strike, he declared, "This is for Eryndor!"
The keep fell, and the Riverlands were freed.
