Under the golden-red dome of the sky, the seething volcano trembled violently. Magma and flames erupted, and terrifying heatwaves slapped about in the void like invisible giant hands, scorching the air into patches of distorted obscurity.
Orelsha, and Havel, a brown-haired young man, both from the Distant Star Federation, had just raced to the summit when they were greeted by this terrifying scene, resembling an inferno of extreme flames.
Even with top-tier protective gear, they could still feel the intense, scorching heat from the surrounding air. The hair on their bodies seemed to be slightly singed, emitting a faint burnt smell.
However, before they could express their astonishment, their attention was completely drawn to an object in the sky above the volcano.
Above the seething crater, a magnificent, giant, orange-hued bird circled, constantly letting out clear, resonant cries.
At the center of its flight path rested an egg, half the size of a human, white as snow.
