Source of the Chaos

"Report," Lucas uttered, his gaze fixed on the Howling Mountains in the distance. The King had been correct; from a distant observer's perspective, it appeared as if the island were on the brink of breaking apart. Large cracks had begun to appear on the island's surface, resembling flowing lava.

"Your grace, the mountain is shaking," Huig immediately remarked. "It is displaying signs of a violent awakening."

Lucas nodded and decided to personally visit the island, alone. Even though Huig possessed great power, this situation was unique.

Once he set foot on the island, he immediately felt the ground beneath him tremble and groan, sending shockwaves through the air. The cracks around the island expanded, revealing molten rock glowing with an otherworldly reddish light. It was as if the very heart of the mountains had ignited, and the land itself was about to unleash its fury.
