Under The Volcano

Warm solid rock, with a glimmer of red and orange.
Burning sticks with red burning flames.
The smell of flaming, melting rock and puddles of blazing hot liquid. The liquid bubbles like crazy, and that liquid is… Lava.
Lava is around 1000 Degrees Celsius.
Lava can pretty much melt through anything.
As the volcano rumbles the lava begins to sway. It sways and sways till, Boom!
The lava blasts out of the volcano and a huge blast of smoke shoots out with it.
As the smoke clears the lava becomes visible and you see the lava trickling down the volcano.
