Ouroboros Spine Black as Soot, Cold as Ice

Charon was eager to hear Potema's information about this place. He had known of its name, though had never met any wolves that came from here. "They were lucky," Charon said when he heard all of the wolves that had made this place their home had survived the fire.

Then Potema moved on to the subject of the deer herds, wondering if they had survived. It was a bit of a morbid topic which caught Charon off-guard, and he quickly find himself thinking aloud: "I hope not. Would be a shame to see our food burned down." He then found himself wondering, also slightly morbidly: "I wonder if the bones actually survive the fire or if it's so hot it would just burn everything down. I mean, if you look at what it did to the trees..." Charon didn't know how hot exactly fire was, but he was pretty sure it was hot enough to devastate about anything in its way. Except for the Sequoia trees, of course, as well as the earth (luckily!).
