The battle for the stronghold was fierce, each clash between the resistance and the Voidborne forces echoing across the land. The artifact's barrier held firm, its shimmering light casting a protective dome over their stronghold and repelling the Voidborne's relentless assaults. But as the hours wore on, the strain on the artifact became evident. Its glow flickered intermittently, and the shield wavered under the weight of the Voidborne's onslaught.
Elara and her companions fought with determination, their movements a fluid dance of strategy and strength. The artifact's power allowed them to hold their ground, but the Voidborne were unrelenting. They pushed forward, their numbers seemingly endless, and their tactics becoming increasingly aggressive.
