In the south, in the Fire Anomaly, Idan, Ned and his two clones did not encounter any serious obstacles, except for the periodic shock waves of the earth element. By the morning of the next day, they emerged from a cloud of thick smoke and ash, and they saw the heart of the Anomaly — a Giant Fire Tree blazing in the distance.
The base of the Tree was located in the mouth of an active volcano, from which tons of ash and lava erupted, and shock waves spread through the surrounding area.
It was a truly breathtaking sight, despite its dangerous nature and the place where it grew.
Idan, admiring the tree and its surroundings, turned and looked at the area filled with smoke and ash. After their second meeting, neither he nor Ned and his clones had seen the bird.
"I hope it survived," he whispered.
For some reason, the bravery and pitifulness of the bird that dared to enter the Central Layer touched him. He wanted it to survive and perhaps return to the middle layer.
