- "I-I'm not so sure about this, Zorch..." Vulk said nervously.
The two were in front of a large Lava Slide almost bigger than them. Zorch would give Vulk an encouraging pat on the back.
- "Oh c'mon, man! It won't be so bad! Zorch assured.
Vulk's ears would flop down a little as he looked at the height of the Lava Slide, it was almost towering to him like a giant stepping towards him. Fear striked in Vulk and he flinched behind Zorch like a startled kitten.
- "N-No no-! I'm not going up there-!" He said, his voice shaky.
Zorch would look down at Vulk with sympathy and pat him on the head, knowing just the thing to help boost his confidence.
- "Buddy, I know you're scared but you can do this! Just step out of your comfort zone! Zorch said.
Vulk perked his head up at him.
- "Step out of my... Comfort zone...?" He asked.
Zorch nodded, Vulk would then look back up at the Lava Slide and gulped. At the same time he felt like facing it head on but just still wasn't comfortable with it, even though Zorch assured him he could possibly do this.
Vulk would take a deep breath before speaking.
- "O-Okay... I'll try I guess..." Vulk said.
- "Good! Now c'mon, let's go!" Zorch took Vulk's hand as both of them went up the lava slide.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The two brothers came sliding down the Lava Slide after some minutes, well it seemed like an hour. They both were covered in black splotches of ash from the fire, but it didn't seem to bother them much due to being immune to fire themselves.
- "Huh.. that was intense." Zorch said."Sorry about getting us both burnt little bro, heh.."
- "Nah, it's fine!" Vulk said. "After all you taught me to step out of my comfort zone!"
The two brothers smiled at eachother and hugged.
- "Say, how about we get some Lava Punch? Zorch asked, standing up from the ground.
- "Sure!" Vulk stood up beside Zorch.
The two brothers walked away from the lava slide and back into the main infernite house, they talked a bit along the way there.
- "Ya know, Vulk... We could've just used a cube it to get down easily." Zorch said, holding up a cube it.
Vulk stopped dead in his tracks, going silent for some seconds before slapping his giant hands onto his face.
- "I really could've come up with that sooner..." Vulk groaned.
Zorch would laugh, putting away the cube it.
- "I'm joking! I'm joking!" Zorch laughed.
Vulk would remove his hands from his face and laugh a bit with Zorch as they continued to walk to the Infernite House without a care
