"Guarded by some of his finest produced armor and a strong staff, the prince entered the great caves at the base of the mountain. Cold as they were at first, they quickly grew warmer, and warmer as a fiery red glow lit the cavern walls. At the end of the long tunnel was a gilded altar. From each side flowed molten earth, the heat from which scorched the rocks in the cave to a deep black color. The prince, amazed by sight, stood firm at the stairs below the altar. Looking up at its shining gold, he shouted out to the spirit his request. With a booming voice from beyond the room, he heard the spirit speak. From beyond the shadows emerged a great dragon basking in the fiery earth. It was the incarnation of the stone spirit, boasting in his own majesty."
