However, Zyric always felt that their destiny lay beyond the volcanic horizons of their home planet. They longed to explore the cosmos, seeking new stories, adventures, and opportunities to bring light and inspiration to others.

Their moment of destiny came during a volcanic storm—a phenomenon where geysers of molten rock erupt unpredictably across the landscape.
