The air was thick with smoke and the bitter scent of burnt wood, swirling around the shattered remains of the chamber where the battle raged on. Kaela's every breath came ragged and sharp, stabbing through her lungs like knives. Her body ached from the relentless fight, yet her spirit burned with a fierce, unyielding fire.
Her sword moved like an extension of her will — precise, deadly, and unrelenting. Each swing carved a path through the chaos, cutting down those who dared stand against her. The Ashen commander was a relentless foe, matching her blow for blow, their blades singing a deadly song that echoed through the ruins.
Flames flickered, casting grotesque shadows that twisted and danced across the broken stone walls. The light caught the sweat and blood glistening on Kaela's face, highlighting the raw determination etched in every line.
Behind her, Ava's movements were a blur — swift and silent, dispatching enemies with deadly efficiency. Joren's explosives continued to disrupt the enemy's advance, their detonations shaking the very foundations beneath them.
The rebels, battered but unbroken, rallied to Kaela's side, their cries rising like a tide of defiance. The commander's forces wavered, their resolve shaken by the unyielding courage before them.
Kaela felt the weight of the moment — this was their last stand. Victory or death lay ahead, and she would not falter.
With a roar that tore through the smoke, she launched herself forward, every ounce of strength and will converging in a final, desperate assault.
The clash was fierce, brutal, and unrelenting.
And in that moment, the fate of them all hung in the balance.
