Ahahahaha! The boy's reaction was priceless. No, more than that. It was perfect, everything she'd been hoping for and more all wrapped up in a stunned, 42 inch package. Unwilling to chance smashing her toes, Warja chose to set her rock on the ground instead of dropping it. "It's great, isn't it?" She didn't expect an answer, really. With his mouth hanging wide open, Kismet was a bit busy catching flies.
The seconds ticked away and then he asked the question Warja had been dying to hear. Her answer busted through her lips the moment he was done speaking. "I have no idea!" Was that not the best thing ever? A river of fire in an underground lair. How unexplainable, how magnificent! "Isn't it grand? There's a river of fire in a cave underground! 'Where does it come from? Where does it go?' I've asked myself these questions each time I've been down here and I'm no closer to an answer than I was the first time." She shook her head in awe, her gaze fixed on the lava. "It's amazing."
