Green hadn't paid much attention to his True Name.
Dragons weren't Demons. Even if other creatures learned their True Name, it wouldn't have any effect.
After reciting his True Name, Green immediately swept his gaze around.
A blazing Magma Lake lay before him. Scorching heat radiated from the red magma, and bubbles in the molten surface burst nonstop, releasing a strong stench of sulfur.
Above the Magma Lake was a small opening through which he could see the blue sky.
The place where he now found himself was an island at the center of the lake, surrounded by magma.
A crimson path connected the island to the outer edge of the Magma Lake. There, a cave about ten meters wide appeared to lead outside.
Turning to look around, Green discovered two other Dragon Eggs on the island.
They were slowly absorbing the Fire Element in the air as they developed.
"No Dragon Mother?" Green was full of doubt.
Normally, even Chromatic Dragons—pure evil dragons—would fulfill their responsibilities once they decided to have offspring, ensuring their young grew into Adolescent Dragons before driving them from the lair.
This situation was clearly abnormal.
As Green wondered about it, a faint tremor came from the cave leading outside.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
It sounded as if someone were pounding away with a battering ram. The immense impacts sent ripples across the entire Magma Lake.
Under the unrelenting blows, hairline cracks appeared beside the cave entrance.
A red crystal suddenly fell out of one of them.
As the red crystal hit the ground, the pounding stopped. The cave and the Magma Lake fell quiet again.
The red crystal lying on the ground then began to wobble as it floated into the air.
An invisible pulse erupted from the crystal, sweeping across the entire Magma Lake
