"Welcome to the Fire Swamp! I'm Ysull. All of the creatures here live in a "Volcano" like habitat, so you MUST wear this Fire suit. It's for your own protection. Watch out for the lavapools and fire columns and everything should be fine. Make sure to stay on the path, or one of these creatures may see you as prey instead of visitor. Don't make them mad.. and they won't eat you? Got that? Good.. Lets go." Ysull hands you a flame retardent suit and motions for you to follow her. You slip the bulky suit on, and follow in her wake.. making sure that you always have the path borders in your view.
"This is Feind! He's the local Guardian Hound. Kinda like the Hounds at the Gate to Hades. Nothing passes through these gates without getting passed HIM." Ysull explains to you as you approach the giant fire beast. The Hound looks penetratingly into your eyes for what feels like several minutes, and you find that you cannot move. Finally after only what was really a couple seconds, you are in control of your movements again, and feel almost drained. As if someone has gone through your mind and picked it apart, and then tried to put it back together again. Feind nods his head at you, and allows you and Ysull to pass by him without anything more than a glare and a snort.
Sadly.. I cannot find the link to where Fiend is originally from. If you know.. please tell me!
