Nix had been expected a world of flame and molten rock, however, the reality was quite different. The air was a bit heavier, and it bore the faintest hint of brimstone. There were dozens of pools with steam coming out of them. The entire area was lightly forested.
"Nice of you to finally show up." A voice spoke to him from close by. He turned to see Shae floating casually on the surface of one of the pools. Her red hair was slicked back on her head, she beckoned him with a finger.
He removed his armor while he walked toward her. "This is way more water than I was expecting Shae."
He placed a barefoot in and right away pulled it out. "Trying to cook me?"
Shae nodded, "That coincides with my plans to eat you... so yes."
Nix laughed and ignited his aura. This time when he stepped in he felt only the pleasant warmth of his own flames. The bottom of the pond was a spongy porous stone that he had never seen before. "Is that brimstone?"
