After three days of travel through the woods and hunting the beasts that they found at the river, a majestic mountain on the far side of a crystal clear lake finally came into view.
According to their map, that should be the Dragon Peak, which was supposed to be an active volcano, but thanks to the presence of the dragons, it had been allowed to peacefully vent down the far side and had never fully erupted.
From the far side of the lake, it felt like nothing was out of the ordinary, but as they walked, it became clear that the entire region was under the effects of the volcano. The temperature increased with every kilometer that they crossed, turning the mountain forest into a tropical jungle over the course of an hour.
