章節 1027: Chapter 1027: The Shadows That Hide

The days following the battle were a whirlwind of activity for the Enclave. The stronghold, though scarred from the recent siege, was quickly returning to a state of readiness. Elara, Elias, Seraphina, and Kael worked tirelessly to address the immediate needs of the stronghold while also preparing for the Dark Conclave's next moves.

Elara's thoughts were often occupied by the troubling discovery of the new dark artifact. Seraphina had dedicated herself to studying it, but progress was slow. The artifact's properties were complex, and its connection to the Dark Conclave's plans remained elusive.

One morning, Elara received a message from an old ally—a scholar named Draven, who had been researching ancient magical texts in a distant library. The letter was brief but hinted at a significant breakthrough in Draven's research. Elara decided to consult with him, hoping that his insights might shed light on the artifact and the Dark Conclave's plans.
