The lava cascade stretched out before them, an incandescent curtain that defied gravity as it flowed smoothly down the rock formation. The distant roar of the flames mixed with the crackling of the lava, creating a hellish symphony that echoed across Muspelheim's apocalyptic landscape.
Kaizen and the others approached the waterfall, feeling the intense heat emanating from it. Og'tharoz led the group, his red eyes shining with determination as he searched for a safe path.
"It's safe here for now," he said, indicating the area behind the waterfall. "The lava never hits this area directly, but we can't stay for long."
Kaizen nodded, looking towards the cave hidden by the waterfall. "Let's take shelter there and discuss our next move."
Carefully, the group moved through the safe area and into the cave. The contrast between the oppressive heat outside and the relative coolness inside the cave was striking. The rocky walls were jagged and rough, the sound of dripping water echoed in the dark chambers.
"We have some time before we need to move on," said Kaizen, looking at his companions. "Og'tharoz, explain to us how we intend to find the entrance to hell."
The demon took a deep breath, gathering his memories and knowledge of Muspelheim. "Muspehleim is a place of constant change. The rock formations move, the lava flows and everything seems to be in eternal flux. The entrance to hell is no ordinary door. It's more like a passage between dimensions, a portal that opens in specific places and for a limited time."
"We need to find one of these places and wait for the right moment to cross." Alina explained.
Kaizen looked at her in confusion. "What? Og'tharoz and I didn't have much to talk about when you went out sometimes, so we got into this subject at one time or another."
"She's right," agreed Og'tharoz. "There are natural markers that indicate the proximity of these portals. Charred towers, rocks carved by fire, crystalline formations rarefied by the intensity of the heat. We must look for these signs."
Everyone looked at each other, absorbing the information. The task seemed challenging, but not impossible.
"Let's split up into groups," suggested Alina. "That way we can cover more ground and increase our chances of success."
Kaizen nodded, studying the inscriptions carefully. They were ancient symbols, similar to those used in summoning and conjuring rituals. "It looks like we've found something important. Let's go down and investigate more closely."
They landed softly near the rock formation, feeling the warm ground beneath their feet. Kaizen examined the inscriptions, trying to decipher their meaning.
"These inscriptions speak of an ancient ritual," he said thoughtfully. "It's like a summoning portal, but with a specific purpose. It could be one of the passages, but Og'tharoz didn't say anything about inscriptions or runes."
Blood Lily looked around, sensing an ominous energy hanging over the place. "This place is charged with magic. I believe we've found what we were looking for."

Kaizen agreed, looking up at the sky tinged red by the intense heat. "We need to inform the others."
Back in the cave where the group had gathered, Kaizen and Blood Lily shared their findings with the others.
Og'tharoz, with a hand on his chin, thought about it. "I see, it really isn't a natural entrance to hell. It could be one of the ancient entrances that came before me."
"Do you think you can open them?" Xisrith asked.
"Are you kidding, young descendragon? Of course I can, I'm an old demon too." Og'tharoz replied. "The only thing is whether or not our presence will be detected by Surtr when using this entrance. You know, these entrances are like the old doors of a house. They get stiff and noisy, so it might alert Surtr."
Kaizen crossed his arms. "He doesn't have many strong demons to send to fight us, if that's the case."
"Yes, but he has legions of lesser demons that are quite worrying. In any case, I think the potion that Alina prepared to hide the magical presence of each one and make us practically invisible will suffice." Og'tharoz said.
