Chapter 2

Sweden glanced around in the volcano. It had started raining a few hours ago, and it showed no signs of stopping. At least it feels cooler now, but I'm sure it'll get cold later. They've agreed on splitting up to explore and getting back together when they're satisfied. They've all been exploring for a long while, and currently, the Dane was the only one who hasn't returned. Finland and Norway didn't find anything interesting. Sweden found an entrance, a cave, but decided to explore the cave tomorrow. As they waited, they munched on some granola bars and staring at the direction Denmark first ran off in. After a few strangely agonizing minutes of silence, save for the chewing noises, the Dane came running back towards the pile of food, grabbing a few chocolate bars, and plopping down onto the ground.

"I found an entrance with even more entrances! Well, they're doors, so I opened one of them, and it has a throne! C'mon, I'll show you where it is. Follow me!" Denmark squealed. "I don't think we should explore anymore for today. We can continue tomorrow. We need to rest." Norway calmly replied.

Denmark pouted. "Come on… You're no fun. Right, Finland?" Norway angrily replied, "Well, I'm so sorry for being boring!" Sweden was deep in thought. Is there more to this volcano than just lava and caves? There was the person who jumped in here… For some reason I can't wait to find out.

Norway called them over. "We should start exploring in pairs tomorrow. So, right now is the perfect time to choose our pairs and decide where to go." He explained. Denmark's hand shot up. "I call going with Nor!" "Okay, then Sweden and I will go together," said Finland. "Good. Since Finland and I didn't find anything, we will go explore the places Dan and Sve found. That's all." Norway said. "For some reason there are four sleeping bags beside the food pile. We can use them. Goodnight." He rolled one out and climbed into it, the others doing the same.

Hopefully we can find the black at as well, Denmark thought as he drifts off.

? P.O.V

…Why are they here? They were never supposed to set foot in this place. It's too dangerous. There are too many dragons here. They probably can't even handle a baby dragon. Well, I guess I can stay hidden from their sight and see how they progress. They already know I can transform from a human to a cat. Seems someone's already uncovered a secret of this "volcano".

…They're smarter than they look. I've got to be careful, that's for sure. And one of them… He seems so familiar. Oh, and I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Iceland...
