Volcano

There's a smoky smell in the air.

Shufti and Enzo land heavily on warm, dusty rock.

The claws had gripped so hard, Shufti felt like she was going to pass out. When she lands, instinctively one hand reaches to protect her head, the other her abdomen. The grip around her chest is gone, and she takes a deep breath, and coughs with the dust.

What is this place? Why is the air so thick?
