The dragon stood in the sea of bubbling lava flowing around his legs, submerged all the way to his knees in it. A large gem embedded in his armored golden and black forehead shone and played in colors.
The sea of lava stretched for kilometers, with small islands of bare black stone occasionally sticking out of it.
His long neck towered high above it, piercing the layer of clouds drifting through the sky and allowing him to see all the way to the world's border.
The world stretched far, for kilometers, until it suddenly cut off, behind it, nothing but a black and empty void. The void encompassed his whole world in a giant impenetrable dome.
'So this is my world?' Vesuvius felt the heat of the air wash over his scales and armor, bringing nothing but comfort to him.
Everything and all within it was part of his domain. The stream of magma flowing out of his miniature world constantly nourished his soul and body.
'If nothing else, it can work as a nice battery...'
