(Lost ten thousand souls, then died on the way to retrieve them. Why couldn't the Fire Keeper forge a Dragon's Heritage pact with me...)
With Bai Ye's help, Skyfire, Eyjafjalla, and Provence quickly determined both the immediate and underlying causes of the abnormal volcanic activity.
So the question was, how exactly were they supposed to solve it?

That way, everyone would settle down and stop scurrying about in the volcano's core.
Of course, Bai Ye would never do that. Wiping out an entire species was an extremely wicked thing to do, and it would also cause irreversible damage to the ecosystem.
