You stare down into the heart of an ancient terror.  As you look down you
can always feel the fright and pain felt by those who were so dramatically
affected by it.  You stare into a red darkness with flares of orange that
streak up the walls.  The sky above is almost a mockery of the darkness that
lies below.  The sun shines brightly above and the sky seems its brightest
blue right above the volcano.  You take one more glance down and wonder what
terrors await you.  
  A small sign is stuck in the ground here.
