If You're Scared Don't Show It

Aureus felt some sense of relief that they were not directly under Mount Volkan but that relief was snatched immediately away. This could indeed still be a floe that fed it and if it didn't feed Mount Volkan it might feed another volcano. He felt his heart hammering and closed his eyes tightly to get a hold of himself. It was far to hot down here!

His ears perked up at the mention of there being some mountains that could offer shelter. He'd seen them in the distance but was uncertain how far away they really were. Maybe it would be worth a shot. As he thought about it he'd rather be swept up in a storm than stay down in this wretched heat. The cat left and Aureus was quick to follow. For the first time in a long time he felt compelled to pray.
