As the dust and debris settled Erend and Eccar stood side by side, their chests heaving with exertion.
The remnants of their combined assault still crackled in the air—lightning sparking from the ground, flames flickering at their feet. Before them the dark, chaotic figure that had once seemed unstoppable was now little more than a twisted writhing mass of shadow. It quivered and its form no longer able to hold itself together, melting into a pool of inky darkness at their feet.
Erend tightened his grip on his burning fists, his heart pounding in his chest as he stared at the creature's dissolving remains. Eccar kept his gaze fixed on the dark mass as well, the Earth's energy still coursing through him.
The two Dragonborns exchanged a glance, their faces grim. They knew better than to let their guard down even now. They couldn't shake the feeling that this battle wasn't truly over.
