Archibald stood dangerously close. The heat radiated towards him, grasping for his dark coat with its alluring fingers. Before him stood a tree, large and unusual. The tree was composed of the blue lava that surrounded the veins. The blue and black roots tangled down into the earth and spilled into the pools of magma.
