Inside a gigantic volcano crater.
Angel stood on a small path carved along the volcano wall, silently watching Toby, who was "bathing" in the volcanic magma below... Well, to be precise, it was Toby in Gryphon form.
The elemental tide had not yet receded, and the fire rain continued to fall from the sky.
So, Toby was both bathing and enjoying a shower, looking quite content.
By Angel's feet lay a severed hand, none other than Dangross. It was perched at the edge of the path, peering down at the volcanic magma pool below, its gaze fixated on Toby.
The eyes formed of flame radiated evident admiration.
Dangross's five fingers kept curling and stretching, as if in reverent worship of Toby.
Above the volcanic magma pool, a tall "demon" figure floated, surrounded by flocks of Flame Sparrows flying in circles.
This demon was the new king of the Region of Fire — Magma Lord Midir.
Magma Lord Midir was issuing orders to the Flame Sparrows, after which they dispersed.
