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?

Enzo rolls as he lands, and groans.

"Shufti?"

"I'm not. If it didn't, you'd be here by yourself. Wherever here is. Are you okay?"

Enzo looks at their surroundings properly. He's never seen a real one in person, but…

"A volcano? Seriously? Does Milliways even have one of those? I think we'd have noticed."

"The Earth is full of molten rock under pressure. Volcanoes are where it pushes out."

He knows it because of his learnings.

Enzo makes the attempt, but the nearest to a doorway he can find is an arch in the rock of the cavern. It leads nowhere but its other side.

"Sorry. We must still be in Milliways, anyway, or else somewhere seriously magical. I mean we're both here and I'm still a sprite."

"And if we are, there must be a way out."

Out of the huge volcanic cavern is sounding pretty good.

"Follow a wall?"

"Yeah. Say, if we're still in Milliways, then…" He produces and expands his surfbaud.

Enzo puts on as much speed as he can without tipping or jostling, keeping the cavern wall some yards to their left and watching for openings.

"Yes," he says with forced calm, and puts on a little altitude as well. "It's called magma when it's underground and lava when it erupts. I'm not sure which this counts as."

"Not sure. I think some are more flowy, and some are more… explode-y."

Argh. Enzo flies higher and faster. "Keep close to me so you're inside my forcefield."

"Let's find out!" Enzo aims for it (but not so fast as to crash into the rock if she's wrong).

The heat is making it harder for him to think, but fortunately, he doesn't really need to think very hard at the moment. As soon as he can see for sure that there is an opening, he accelerates to the max.
