What a queer landscape, all rock and rubble, ash and soot. A dainty, ladylike sneeze escaped her, a quiet sound that sounded almost like a kitten sneezing. However, it still sent soot pluming up from the ground below. Her petite creamy paws struck the uneven terrain with a doe like step as her twilight toned optics drank in the ethereal landscape. She half expected one of the dragons from her fathers stories to come charging towards her with fire streaming from it's mighty maw. How fantastic and terrifying it would be, a tale to tell... if she managed to survive. A quiet chuckle trickled from her inky lips, a small smile toying at her cherubic features. Her mind was wandering to all sorts of places as of late, it was such a funny thing when she thought about it. What had been getting into her?

Meandering across the rocky slope, her thick coat began to feel a touch of heat. Well well, what could that be? This craggy peak couldn't possibly be a volcano, could it? Father's stories had always depicted them as constantly trickling up a plume of smoke, lava turning the air above it red as blood and hot as the sun, should it have one day decided to descend from the sky. Were they not as fantastic as her father had made them out to be? Her pace increased, her blue-violet optics shining with curious glee as she trotted carefully upwards. Her tiny frame was a sun kissed blemish upon the blackened and savage landscape, a daisy among brambles.

When she reached the top, the English lady was squinting against the intense heat and being very cautious now. Her delicate tiara would dare to peer over the lip of the crevice. Sure enough, a pool of molten liquid burned fiercely as the sun, and a goofy grin started to grow upon her doll like face. She was finally getting to experience something from her father's stories, and while not as mysterious and wondrous as he told it to be, it was still quite a marvel. She was really making her adventures into adventures now, and would soon have stories of her own to tell her siblings.
