The Stench of Sulfur

I am currently investigating the lava. The stench of sulfur is overwhelming. Even at this distance from Zephyros Castle, molten rock still flows unfrozen. Where is its true source? At times, it feels as though the entire land is boiling beneath my feet. The fumes make me dizzy. Did you know that lava does not instantly melt flesh upon contact? For a few brief seconds, you remain alive. It is strange how this lava is warm, almost beautiful. Sometimes I feel as though I could simply walk across it, as casually as strolling outdoors. The source must lie deep within. I am certain of it. I have to see for myself. - Researcher Hashashin
