What in the Hell

It seemed they were both curious by nature, her reasoning the same as his and he chuckled softly. The other canine was quick to accept his offer to explore and he nodded in agreement when she assured him that she did not want to stay long. Honestly he did not want to either as he was certain that not only that his paw pads might soon burn off but that the sulfur that filled the air couldn't be all that healthy to breath in. "A pleasure to meet you Jynn. I'm Drachen." he replied as he fell into step beside her as they walked. He was nearly mesmerized by how the lava moved, its glowing surface a contrast between bright orange and black. It honestly reminded him slightly of Ardyn and how the boy nearly glowed in the same way when air touched the boy's dark fur. Drachen swiped his tongue over his lips once as they walked deeper into the cave and rounded another corner and another, even larger, cavern opened up before the pair of canines. His jaw would have parted if it had not already been open from his soft panting. All he could so was nod in agreement at first when Jynn commented on the amount of lava that stretched before them.

"I wonder how many of these lava filled caverns there are in Boreas and we just don't know..." his hushed tones rumbled in  his throat as his eyes took in both magnificent and terrifying sight. Large pillars of rock somehow survived the unbearable intensity of the heat and touch of the lava, holding up the roof of the cave. Massive lava flows ran down the sides of the caverns to pool thickly in the lake before them. Despite knowing better, Drachen glanced around the cavern looking for any signs of life that may have somehow made some sort of life down here, but all he saw was a darkened scorched rock and dried lava mounds. "Only the gods could have created such a thing..." he found himself saying, his oceanic blue gaze turning to find Jynn's. He did not particularly believe in any one god or gods but it was times like this, that make him think that there had to be some sort of divine being or beings out there
