Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Shadows That Reveal Our Deepest Selves

The aftermath of the battle left the stronghold both battered and resilient. Despite the significant damage and the casualties, there was a palpable sense of victory in the air. The Celestial Beacon had held its ground, repelling the Voidborne forces and securing the stronghold for the time being.

Elara, Kirin, Jarek, and Seraphina, though exhausted, moved with purpose. Their immediate priority was to assess the damage and ensure that the stronghold's defenses were fully operational. They also needed to attend to the wounded and mourn their fallen comrades.

In the command center, Elara reviewed reports and coordinated with the medical teams. The room was filled with maps, tactical reports, and the faint hum of the Beacon's protective aura. The Celestial Beacon's light continued to cast a warm glow, a comforting presence amid the chaos.
