Chapter 46 The Sacrifice

• The battle raged on around them, a symphony of chaos and destruction. Fire and lightning crackled through the air, the very earth trembling beneath the weight of the clashing elemental forces. Ava fought with every ounce of strength she had left, her body battered and weary from the relentless onslaught. Her enemies seemed endless, a sea of Emberborn soldiers closing in, their dark, burning eyes fixed on her.
• But her focus wasn’t on them. It was on the relic—the one thing that could tip the scales and bring the war to an end. They had to reach it before Blaise’s forces did. Without it, everything they had fought for would be lost.
• Beside her, Lira, the fierce and loyal Stormguard warrior who had stood by Ava's side through countless battles, fought with a determined ferocity. Her long silver hair, streaked with blood and dirt, whipped around her as she wielded her twin blades, lightning dancing along the steel with each strike. She was a force of nature, unstoppable in her defense of Ava and the mission. But even Lira’s strength had its limits, and they were running out of time.
