The heroes entered Icecrown Citadel, braving its frozen halls where the remnants of the Scourge and dark specters roamed. As they pressed deeper, a chilling voice echoed through the citadel—one that seemed both ancient and familiar.
Lyara felt the presence more strongly now. “This isn’t just Shadrax,” she murmured. “Something else is manipulating these forces.”
Suddenly, spectral shadows coalesced before them, swirling into a monstrous figure—the Shadowheart itself, manifesting in physical form. The entity had somehow broken through the Dream’s barriers, corrupted by something even darker than Shadrax. It loomed over them, exuding an ancient power and radiating an aura of dread.
Aedric raised his sword, heart pounding. “Whatever it is, it’s not leaving here.”
The battle that ensued was one of the most brutal they had ever faced. Lyara, Aedric, and Tharok fought side by side, channeling every skill, every ounce of strength, and every spell they had learned. Yet, the Shadowheart’s power was relentless, shifting its form and summoning dark tendrils that drained their energy.
In a last-ditch effort, Aedric thrust his blade into the entity, channeling light energy from the paladins he had trained. The Shadowheart screeched, and Lyara and Tharok joined in, amplifying his attack with nature and elemental forces. After an agonizing struggle, the entity dissolved into wisps, finally defeated.
They stood in the silence that followed, realizing the true extent of the battle they had just fought. This had been no ordinary darkness, but something that would continue to haunt Azeroth if left unchecked.
