Reaching The Cauldron

After exiting the back of the building, the group found themselves on the vast empty plain that led toward the volcano, and little sighs of awe escaped from their lips.

It was an inspiring sight, even when interlaced with the winding path of cobblestone and wooden rails that led toward the forest. On the backsplash of this decor, they could see that same wooden railing snake up the side of the mountain, climbing the side of the volcano.

The forest, although not too long and a few hundred meters ahead of them, was filled with distinct Korean Pine trees, all of which had been trimmed at the base, to both keep people from climbing them, but also to allow a nice breathable path through.

Walking the distance between the building and the forest proceeded smoothly, and the group only fell on high alert once the trees covered the sky overhead. From this point on, their visibility was reduced enough for it to be a risk.

At least, it would have been for normal people.
