Investigation [5]

Damien took the shortest possible route to the Dragon Lord, but it was by no means short. 

The main issue was the terrain, full of inclines and dips that made it impossible to teleport casually. When he reached the volcanic region, it became even worse.

There were thousands of spires surrounding the main volcano. The Dragon Lord's lair was in the very center of them all, right at the base of the volcano.

Damien was forced to weave through thousands of spires without making any sound. Avoiding the detection of the many people in the vicinity was also a problem, but he managed to do it with the help of the Void. 

Finally, he reached the lair itself. It was more of a mansion than a dragon's den, but it was built to look like a natural hole in the volcano. The magma that flowed from the top was used as lighting for the structure, creating a beautiful backdrop and scenery that elevated the ambiance to another level.
