Guided by Wrathion’s enchanted stone, the trio followed a series of clues that led them to Blackrock Mountain, a place steeped in the remnants of ancient battles and tainted magic. The mountain was a maze of tunnels and winding passages, its depths guarded by creatures warped by the lingering darkness of Deathwing’s reign.
They moved carefully, encountering pockets of elemental magic and remnants of Blackrock orcs, who watched them from the shadows, unwilling to engage but wary of their presence. The air was thick with sulfur, and every step seemed to echo through the ancient halls.
As they descended deeper into the mountain, they felt the energy of the Shadowheart resonating, its pull growing stronger. It was as if the mountain itself was drawing them in, leading them toward Shadrax’s lair.
Finally, they reached a vast, open chamber with molten lava flowing below, casting an ominous glow over everything. At the far end, a figure stood—a massive dragon, black scales glinting with veins of red, eyes glowing with an unnatural, menacing light. Shadrax.
“So, the heroes have come to face me,” Shadrax’s voice rumbled, echoing throughout the chamber. “And you bring the Shadowheart. It belongs to me, and through it, I will bring Azeroth to its knees.”
The battle that followed was fierce and brutal. Shadrax wielded dark magic with terrifying skill, manipulating shadows and fire in a twisted display of power. His claws struck the ground, sending shockwaves that threatened to unbalance them, while his fiery breath scorched the air.
Aedric deflected Shadrax’s attacks with his shield, while Tharok fought valiantly to keep the dragon’s attention, allowing Lyara to channel the power of the Shadowheart to weaken Shadrax’s defenses. But Shadrax was cunning, his every move precise and calculated. He knew the mountain’s layout and used it to his advantage, driving them into tighter quarters and attacking from unexpected angles.
Finally, after a grueling fight, they managed to deliver a decisive blow. Lyara unleashed the Shadowheart’s energy in a final surge, shattering Shadrax’s defenses and piercing through his dark heart. The dragon let out a deafening roar before collapsing, his body dissipating into ash and shadow.
As they caught their breath, the Shadowheart pulsed in Lyara’s hands, its energy somehow even more intense than before. They had defeated Shadrax, but the artifact’s power felt more unpredictable than ever.
