tree in a volcano? or did she climb out....

ugh whatever just ignore my weird questions

Akurle closed her eyes and nodded sadly. She sighed and placed a paw on Zyla's side. The words that the Dark Lord had said came back to her. "May you know that every death you witness is just the loss of what you are fighting for today." Was that really true? Was she fighting for something that would cause losses later on that she wouldn't be able to stop?

Zyla had died so she could Save Akurle from the Dark Lord himself. She knew that she would have to face deaths worse that this. The Dark Lord was just trying to make her feel bad and regret what she did. But her defeating the Dark Lord was saving so many more lives than if she had just let it go. The whole island would have been destroyed, and perhaps even Jamaa. What she had done was for the best, and there was no going back. Sombra was lying.

Meanwhile, Buttons had woken up. But when he looked around, Cronin was gone. So was Calypso's key.

...

Cronin ran through the crater as fast as he could. It was painful for his shoulder, but he couldn't stop himself. Despite how much he tried, he couldn't slow down. In his beak was the golden orb.

He passed Alexis, who was talking to a mysterious orange fox-looking thing. He wasn't sure what they were saying, but he couldn't stop to ask what was wrong. His legs continued to push himself forward, despite his attempts to stop himself.

He should have known this would happen. He should have just thrown himself into the lava when he had the chance. Now he was dooming his friends and everyone who had ever been nice to him. He should have known that the Dark Lord had cursed him. He should have warned his friends before this could happen. Now there was no way to stop it. Tears dripped out of his eyes as he began to cry.

Cronin stopped at a part of the pthway that had been covered with boulders. Cronin stood up on two legs and pushed on a loose rock. It hurt so bad, but he couldn't control himself. With a loud grinding noise, the rock slid out from under the other rocks. The rocks above it started to creak and groan, but didn't fall. Cronin slipped into the hole he had made and came out on the other side.

There was only a small place to stand, and the rest of the ledge and broken and fallen into the lava. The other side was too far to jump.

Now that he was hidden from view, Cronin stopped and sat down. Despite his attempts to stop, he grabbed Calypso's key from his mouth and held it out. He was going to drop it into the lava.

And there was no way to stop it.
