Igneus Orbem - World of Fire

Deep beneath our feet lies a world greatly unknown. Smooth like caramel, bright as burning embers, and magical like fairy dust – magma is born, contained within chambers of varying size. Magma is the concoction in which land is created and destroyed only to be recycled deep below the ocean floor. Volcanoes are the gateways in which magma escapes and sometimes with such ferocity that life is harmed. It flows over land, fire sparks from the surface and poisonous gases pollute the air then yet beauty is yet to be seen. The cool air strikes the burning magma causing crystallization to begin but the crystals are small and inert to the earth-bound elements. Still secrets lie below where treasures can be found for magma isn't always shared. Large crystals begin to grow within the underground chambers, they glitter like the midnight stars then yet they were created in a world of fire where life does not exist but still beauty is created. This world is full of irony; life cannot exist in this fiery furnace then yet life begun in such a state when the land was deprived of water and the air toxic where magma flowed like rivers. A world of fire lies beneath our feet circulating the life source of our home but sadly it produces fear like no other for it has become associated with dark omens in the common fairy-tale. Still the world of fire will continue to burn and erupt until we are gone from this Earth only to be recycled into the every earth itself.
