The sea of constantly cooling magma at the bottom of the volcano seemed unusually active today. Blasts of smoke and sulfer shot through the cracks in the rock more, and various sections kept breaking to reveal the molten sea below it, only to re-cool and repeat the process. Two cloaked figures stood at the top of the volcano, one with a large, powerful stature; the other was about a third of the bigger one's height.
"I still don't see why I had to wear a cloak." The smaller one muttered in a childish tone.
"Cause cloaks are cool. Duh." The bigger one stated, in a strangely familiar voice.
The smaller one was going to say something, when the larger held up a clawed finger to silence him. Both peered down at the volcano's base as the lava started churning even more violently than before, spurting into the air. A massive roar emanated from the confines of the volcano, and the smaller one backed up quickly. The taller one smirked under the hood, then grabbed the smaller one and shot into the air, revealing two large, draconic wings as both watched something emerge from the lava.
A large set of black claws dug into the top of the crater, followed by a large, crimson reptillian head. The beast broke through the top-most section of the volcano as the larger figure stated,
"Cover your nose; he's producing a lot of sulfer."
Both did the required action as the beast landed on the side of the mountain, throwing its arms to the sides and bellowing into the sky as bursts of smoke shot out from two 'vents' on its back. The larger figure nodded, still smirking, while the smaller figure was a bit... nervous.
"THAT THING'LL FRIGGIN EAT US!!!" The smaller one screamed.
The larger shook his head, replying,
"Nope. He just eats coal."
The beats was saurian in shape, most of its body covered in dusky-red, rough hide. It had several claws on each hand and foot, each of which was a shiny, rough black. Sections of what looked like drying magma covered its shins, forearms, shoulders, upper chest/back, tip of tail (which ended in a cluster of thick magma-spikes) and two large spikes that were slightly hollowed out on the underside shot out from a point almost on eachs shoulder. Beneath said spikes were what appeared to be holes, both of which were emitting large amounts of heat and smoke. The beast's head was much like a dragon's, but had two horns that also appeared to be cooling magma. Two glowing orange eyes glare out from the beast's skull, and the chin tapered down into a sharp point. Finally, a row of long, obsidian-looking blades ran down from the base of its neck to the end of its tail.
The beast snorted a blast of smoke and sparks as it glared off towards the city, seeing the spreading foliage. It growled, then began stomping towards the plants in the hope of doing what it was created to do: Destroy invading forces. The larger cloaked figure wooted and punched the air with his free arm as the beast stomped forward, then glanced down at the smaller figure.
"C'mon, let's go. Someone might see us." He stated.
The smaller nodded, and both began to fly off to a higher point on the mountains.
