The second of a tentative experimental 7 pieces, inspired by the lore of the Force of Will TCG. This piece, like Gloria, utilizes some sound design to help portray an image. The particular setting is Certo's infamous volcano. Ambient bubbling of magma can be heard in the background, building in intensity as the song progresses, leading to an eruption at the end at the control of the Flame King, Melgis.
The piece itself is simple, utilizing some standard orchestral instruments. It's short and a tad repetitive, again like Gloria, but is meant to be more of a theme-piece that sets a mood and tells a piece of a story.
Let me know what you think, and thanks for listening as always!

Allow me to paint a picture for you...
Certo is a kingdom where only the strong survive. Its volcanic environment is well suited for the dragons that reside there, but is harsh and unforgiving for its human inhabitants. The flickering glow of flames and volcanic activity against the dark, soot-filled sky is the closest thing to sunlight the denizens know. The air is polluted with smoke, the lands are nearly barren due to the volcanic pollution. It is a wonder how anyone can survive here.
Its current king, Melgis, used his brute strength to usurp the throne and take reign over the kingdom. Melgis values only strength and power, and has no sympathy or mercy for any of his own people whom he deems weak- often resorting to exiling or killing those he did not deem fit to live under his rule.
With ruthlessness, cruelty, and a thirst for power, Melgis seeks to attack the rivalling neighbor kingdom of Gloria in an act of envy and conquest. The people of Certo follow Melgis unquestioningly out of fear, but also out of lust for the chance to live in a cleaner land, where the sun shines and vegetation grows.
Melgis rallies his troops, and prepares to satiate his hunger for war. They mount an attack against Gloria, with everything to gain and nothing to lose- even at the cost of burning the entire kingdom to the ground.
"For if I shall not reside and reign in this land, then nor shall any other!"
