## Plot

The Bringers of Life, after a while of traveling, arrive at Mount Fjall. As they go inside the mountain and explore, they are greeted by a blaze called the Fire Demon. He offers to give them a reward if they are able to complete his challenge. Once they do, he gives them a reward and warns them to be careful who they trust, as the mountain is unstable in more ways than one.

They travel through the mountain and eventually meet Blooddrawer, the receptionist of the mountain. He welcomes them to the mountain and offers them several potential places to stay, but Dabsar informs them they're merely here to enter the outskirts. Blooddrawer discourages them from doing this, telling them that any monster that goes into those outskirts doesn't return, and tells them the outskirts are the Outskirts of the Void as well as the heart of the mountain. Ezen agrees with Blooddrawer, knowing all too well the dangers of the Void, but the others decide it's worth it and go into the outskirts.

As the Bringers of Life enter the outskirts of the void, Ezen warns them of the dangers here, as the Void is an incredibly dangerous place; entering even its outskirts is incredibly risky. Chappal retorts this by claiming "don't you know I'm going *toward* the danger by now?" Zian comforts Ezen, saying that they'll manage, but Ezen is still uncertain. Regardless, they go in and start traveling through.

After a while of traveling, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian encounter Glacias and Aer, two more demigods who seem to be guarding an enchanting table surrounded by bookshelves. Glacias demands for them to leave while Aer greets them. Dabsar explains what they're doing here, which causes Glacias to quickly realize that they are humans, and something bad is happening. Sure enough, seconds later, there is a bunch of lightning hit at the enchanting table, and from the flames comes the horrific image of Zovan, who has apparently returned. The shocked Bringers of Life are then attacked by Zovan.

After some time of fighting, Zovan leaves, not before saying that it's been fun, and that he's hoping to see them again soon. Glacias is outraged at Dabsar, Chappal and Zian, telling them that they just released the most dangerous and powerful of all the demigods. Dabsar apologizes, and then asks where a couple of monsters are. Glacias assumes that they are simply looking for innocent monstersto slaughter, but Ezen speaks against this, saying that he's a monster himself, and that they're here to discover why they're missing. Glacias informs them that the Order of Magma is taking them captive and taking them to their base. The Bringers of Life leave the outskirts of the void after gaining the Tree of Life piece and the key to the Heart of Fjall.

Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen travel through the the Heart of Fjall. Ezen makes some remarks as they go through their journey.

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian reach with Ezen the edge of the mountain and are about to enter the Order of Magma Base. However, they are suddenly encountered by Blooddrawer. They are shocked to see him there. Blooddrawer explains that he is there because of his brother, Skinscraper. He wishes to talk to Skinscraper and get him to leave the Order of Magma. Ezen is distrusting of this after his experience with Pilin, but in any case offers some words of wisdom, saying that Skinscraper won't be able to change just because Blooddrawer asked him to, and that he needed to make that choice on his own. Blooddrawer disagrees, saying that Skinscraper's turn was circumstantial and that he shouldn't give up on him. He tells them he won't get in their way to get the Tree of Life, and that he's only here for Skinscraper, so they ultimately agree to him going with them.

After entering the base, they eventually reach the captain's quarters, encountering Skinscraper with Coo Coo with him. Blooddrawer begs Skinscraper to stop this, but Skinscraper refuses. Chappal is horrified to see that Coo Coo has joined the Order of Magma, so much so that she blurts out that Coo Coo is her sister. Blooddrawer is quick to blame Coo Coo for forcibly converting Skinscraper and perhaps manipulating him, but Coo Coo confirms that she joined Skinscraper, not the other way round. Skinscraper is ready to kill Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen and threatens Blooddrawer, telling him that if he doesn't join him to fight them, he will kill him too. Blooddrawer, after a moment of hesitation, refuses, saying that Skinscraper is in the wrong. Skinscraper is temporarily wounded, but eventually brushes it off and proceeds to attack them.

After a while of fighting, the voice of the Magma Queen suddenly appears, much to everyone's horror. Chappal demands how they can hear her if she can't be seen, and the Magma Queen answers that she can reach her voice to anywhere that she has control over, including their base in Lijos, saying that that her power is unlimited, and so is her knowledge. She then berates Skinscraper for being unable to handle three teenage humans, an enderman and his brother. The Magma Queen wonders what to do with them as she can't kill them since they were never part of the Order of Magma. Coo Coo suggests giving them the Tree of Life piece. The Magma Queen then glares at Blooddrawer, and realizes that he was once part of the Order of Magma, and that the Magma Queen can kill him. The Magma Queen does so, and turns him to dust, much to Chappal's horror. Skinscraper is briefly remorseful, but goes on to claim that his brother brought this upon himself. The Magma Queen fulfills Coo Coo's wish to give them the Tree of Life piece. However, she then charges Coo Coo for treason and drains her of all her magic, and takes both her and Skinscraper away. Before they vanish, Coo Coo cries out to Chappal, demanding why she did nothing to help. Chappal is saddened by this, but before she can do anything, the Magma Queen warns them to leave, or else she will bring down the base on them. The Bringers of Life do so, saddened by the death of Blooddrawer.

Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen arrive back at the Land of Xora. Zian expresses the fact that he is exhausted after literally going through a volcano and the outskirts of a deadly realm. Cutie agrees, saying they need a vacation, and knows the perfect place for one. He introduces the City of Life, a wonderous city in which they can all relax and rest, as it is the place where humans, monsters and animals are truly at peace with one another. They decide to leave right away for this vacation.
