seige of shadows

The Elemental Nexus, newly awakened by arcane ritual, glows defiant amidst surrounding twilight. Beyond its protective aura, shadows seethe and advance ponderous against delicately woven wards. The unearthly radiance serves as both fortress and siren call toward annihilating opposition. Thus the ageless dance ever spirals...

Reeling still from the convergence of relics and immortal intent shining unveiled before mortal comprehension, the gathered guardians are first to steady among lingering dizziness. Their hands, no longer grasping talismans of power, now flex against sudden void where intrinsic might raced epiphany along nerve and sinew just heartbeats earlier. The absence washes profound through their collective awareness of self diminished abruptly without infused graces.
