The Unraveling - It Burns

The barren hills have been shaken awake, their maw yawning open to reveal smoldering lava. An anxious tongue thrashes about- a large onyx worm with an angry, fire filled mouth. It screeches and hisses as it emerges, gurgling as it resubmerges. Tendrils of molten rock and fire fling in every direction, bubbling and boiling over the edge of the fresh, enormous crater. Nearby brush is caught ablaze, burning to a smoldering charcoaled crisp.

The worm, long and slender, weaves through the scalding lava, working waves outward before shooting up crashing back down. Quadrant mouthpieces flay open, showing its glowing inner flesh. Thick dark ropes of fluid drip from each of the four segments, black as tar. Its impossible to see if it is simply cooled rock or another substance. The center of its intimidating display, active flames that shiver and sputter when it shrieks out.

Its agitated movements send a clear message: it's pissed.
