"Who's there?!" Elisha shouted, instantly drawing her red compound bow and nocking an arrow.
The Wraiths snapped their heads toward her.
Before Elisha could release her bowstring, the lead Wraith plunged its skeletal hand directly into the generator's core.
BOOOM!
The mana generator exploded in a shower of blue sparks and shrapnel.

The mechanical alarm blared across the camp. The bright mana lights flickered and died instantly, plunging the entire military installation into absolute darkness.
Voices erupted across the camp in panic.
"What's happening?!" "I heard an explosion near the center!" "Grab your weapons! Perimeter breach!"
The heavy clouds above blocked the moons. The darkness was suffocating.
Elisha ducked instinctively as a sharp blade of compressed shadow sliced through the air exactly where her head had just been.
