A Flame To Never Wilt

The frosty volcano alp of the Volcan Empire had never before been so bare. The naked mountain top was covered in black soot as the dragon's red flames were extinguished by the melted snow.

Pyre, as a mighty dragon, was more than capable of controlling its strength to prevent himself from searing the surroundings but… why did it matter? Only the scalding lava found inside the volcano was qualified to be called its territory.

"I don't want to die!" One yelled gripping their sword with trembling lips.

"Focus and get- aaAAAAHH!" His superior didn't even have time to reproach the fearful man before they were both burned to a crisp. 

Pyre, true to its name, had created heaps of burning corpses all around the Volcan Fortress as more and more knights charged at it now full of nothing but fear and regret.

The harrowing sight made more and more of the knights falter until becoming nothing more than a disorderly bunch of cowardly people.
