As you walk up the mountain, the air around becomes warmer... drier... as if the sun itself had scorched the land to eradicate life.
The green life you were able to see below become scarcer and scarcer, until you are at a point where all you see are burned semblances of life that once existed.
Embers and flames flicker and dance around you as you trudge up, the true master of this terrain being revealed. Nearing the top, you can hear the
crackling of fire, and a blazing heat that seemingly radiates around the peak. A piercing shriek can be heard. From the peak, you see
a single entity of the destructive element leap out and soar through the skies.
