Ajani - Bathes in Caldera's heat

The trail ended at the rim of a volcanic caldera, filled almost to the brim with seething red lava. The air above the caldera wobbled and distorted, and the entire front side of Ajani’s body was bathed in almost unbearable heat. The mana that flowed around and through the caldera was abundant and intoxicating. He felt like his fur was burning, but he couldn’t look away.

He took a step—

What am I doing what am I doing I’m going to die

As he fell, fumes from the caldera blasted up around him. They scorched his body and his soul, shredding him into pieces and reforming him, enveloping him in an eternity of fiery destruction.

***

Smoke wafted from Ajani’s fur.

The smell of it woke him. He coughed. If he was dead, then the afterlife must smell a lot like his home jungle.
