The great magma spires that litter up the trails prove to be great dangers for those stepping into the outside comfort of their home region. He knows this, it's exactly why he's got a multitudinous amount of heat-proof layers to keep himself safe. The blackening ground beneath him is rather underwhelming, but the few cracks emit a luminosity that he can't help but get lost in. It was beautiful, but it was painful. No one dare live on these active volcanic mountains... No one sane enough, he should say. Steam hisses between two tightly knit boulders, dislodging one of them slightly as the new angle properly allows plumes of smoke to rise into the air without such a noise. His eyes narrow and a paw raises to cover his face, inhaling smoke like this wasn't ideal in the slightest, so the young man continues his trek forward up the ashen mountain whose lifeblood pulsed in view with various shades of yellows, oranges, and reds. Jagged terrain bit up at him, and if he wasn't careful then he certainly could leave this place with a gash or two. The thunderclouds rolled through the distance, lightning kissing upon the ground he walked on. Some may stray away from locations like this, where there seems to be no benefit of roaming, but Kino thouroughly enjoyed the beauty in it's destruction. Bubbling pools of lava caught his attention, and with each burst did waves of heat tickle his cheeks.
It's interesting how a location like this could be so different, yet so similar to the mining towns. There was less of a glow, but lava still lazily sloshed around the undercity. Zevija wasn't all fiery, though. Taking this chance to sit on a warm rock, Kino reflects on the total opposites of this region. From the luminiscent waters in the caves that shone with ethereal blues, to the steaming hotsprings that revitalized weary travelers, this region was something of it's own. His explorations in such a place were reminders that he was alive, and perhaps to keep that little part of Zevija with him during his travels, he'd swing by a local market for some stone carvings -- or possibly even gemstone carvings if he was lucky enough to stumble upon them!
