The third and final part of the Indomitable's quest brings him to the Endless Blue. Initially, the Earth God's request for sand from beneath the Endless Blue had concerned him considerably - Volterra is capable of many things, but breathing underwater is not one of them. Then he'd remembered the glass tunnel placed there by 'Kisamoa', one of the only good things that the vile false God actually managed to do. That will make the onyx warlord's task considerably easier, and he makes the journey from the Throat to the beach in good spirits.

Before he leaves his home, he invites Isopia, Otem and Vulkán to come with him. Spending time with his youngest children and the Mountain is something that brings him great happiness, even if he can't do it as much as he'd like thanks to the many obligations that come from the crown upon his head. This quest, though, is technically for the benefit of the Throat - a stronger Sultan means a stronger herd, in Volterra's mind - so he feels no guilt in taking time out of his duties to gather the necessary items, and if he can involve his young family in that then all the better. Vulkán, ever the keen explorer, quickly agreed and has followed close on his sire's heels across Helovia. The colt is a little bit odd (he'd refused to move from his sleeping spot to come with his father until the sun had hit a certain notch on a rock, which is downright bizarre and quite worrying), but his large size, volcanic magic and obvious intelligence means that Volterra has high hopes for him. Vérzés flies alongside them during their journey, whilst Vadir hangs back to look after Isopia and Otem during their trek - well, that's her excuse, although the stallion suspects she just wishes to eyeball Babel some more.

They arrive upon the beach in mid-afternoon, and the beast quickly glances down with a warm smile at his youngest son. It's a warm day and the travel has been long, but he's pleased to see that the colt doesn't seem overly exhausted. A fine warrior in the making! "This is the Endless Blue. It's changed a lot recently...that tunnel never used to be there." He gestures with his scarred muzzle to the glowing stones that signify the entrance to the cavern, which he begins to wander towards ready to collect the sand required for his quest. "You know, lad, when I was your age I used to come here to train. Running on the deep sand helps tone your muscles and increase your stamina ready for when you can take to the battlefield as an adult." He beams happily down at the boy, assuming he will be delighted at the mention of future battle. After all, he's Volterra's son - surely he will want to become a great warrior as well?
