After traversing a harsh set of Mountains I came across a very large barren, volcanic landscape...It seemed like this hellish place was spreading... like a plague across the land as it burned plants and trees to ash, smoldering everything in its path.

That wasn't good.

Perhaps a Dragon lived here

The first thing I found was not a Dragon however but a giant woman with hair like ash and skin like molten rock!

I thought it was a demon and I didn't want to fight it and a fight is not what we received...

Instead it just stood there... watching us curiously and every time we walked far enough away, the woman would turn to ashes, returning to the Earth before remanifesting near our new location to watch us once more.

It wasn't long before I spoke to it.

"Look, I don't want any trouble," I said, my hands up.

"It burns. Help," She pleaded.

"I have nothing that can put out the fire. I have no water element fighters," I said as I got out the heart of the ice. "I can try this," I added as I threw the heart of the ice right at the woman's heart!

The heart of ice melted instantly and the water evaporated.

Without receiving proper help, the woman disappeared and did not re-appear.

Our conversation had brought some unwanted attention as I heard footsteps behind me, the smell of smoky breath on my nose. This was it, a Dragon! All I needed to do was turn around and face the mighty, gian-

It was a tiny little baby Dragon and it looked scared.

I didn't have the heart to take it, it wasn't right.

With my disappointment we moved on, looking for a proper Dragon to defeat.

After crossing Volcanic pit after Volcanic pit, we finally found ourselves a Dragon!

It was another Metal Dragon, just like Betsy!

I sent in Archelon first to deal with the extreme heat and flames better than the whole party!

The Dragon unleashed a rain of fire, but it had no effect on Archelon!

Archelon shell spins into the dragon!

The Dragon retaliated with a punch!

Archelon rammed the Dragon with a shell spin again!

The Dragon tried grabbing Archelon and biting down, but it couldn't pierce through Archelon's Obsidian Shell!

Archelon began to soften the metal scales around the Dragon's head, tearing it off and exposing the softer under-scales!

The dragon spread its wings, creating gusts of wind that carried rocks and magma at high speeds!

Archelon loaded his MP-5 automatic rifle with a Narcotic Bullet we crafted earlier using Multi Bullets and Narcotic Mushrooms!

The Dragon spat Molten Iron at the firearm, covering it, solidifying and jamming the gun!

The Dragon then dived into the lava pool, resubmerging with its metal scales replaced with a coat of boiling lava!

Archelon stomped forward, a Narcotic mushroom in-hand and shoved it through the fresh magma, his hand protecting it from the heat and shoved it into the Dragon's face!

The Narcotic Effects were beginning to work!

The lava then cooled and solidified, giving the Dragon; Rock-Armor!
