Wolf King's Trial 19

The black wolf wrapped the gold serpent in its arms and raced out of the sea of lava towards the flaming mountains. 

Seeing their figures disappear, Kulimo returned to his senses. "Quick, let's go! We can't let the Werewolf King and Serpentine Queen take the lead!"

He heaved the red wolf statue on his shoulders and the alpha and his mate chased after the serpent wolf.

With the golden serpent wrapped around its body, the black wolf dashed across the lava and began ascending the tallest mountain peak.

"Light, stay with me!" Ramose let out an urgent cry.

The moment he landed on stable ground, he stomped his feet and cleared a hundred feet of the flames. With another stomp, a makeshift cave was formed.

Ramose gingerly laid his mate down and checked her for injuries. Not finding any, he anxiously shook the gold serpent. 

"Light, can you hear me? Light!"
