"Asikagon."
you answer harshly and quickly, with a "what". You were just strolling through the forest, who is whispering to you here? More importantly, from who?
"..." silence. accept a faint rummaging noise-
"hello mate! just a traveling pirate here!" There's a very loud clatter over to your left. When you look over, you see an odd red pirate.
"Asikagon!"
you hear again. Louder & more thundering. You look around quickly to see where it came from, but you cant find any source.
"I'm sorry, in didn't mean to scare you, are you okay?" this confuses you a bit because Sunfyre didn't scare you, its this weird ass whispering in the fire swamp! the only thing you see when you look around is the red lion, the path, and the trees. you take a second to look at the lion.
His fur is red. He seems to be emanating heat like the lava pits way underneith you. with a closer inspection, his feet seem to be smoking, not just warm. and the lion moves to set up his shop on the side of the road, you watch as he steps. it seems wherever he steps, the field grass burns just a little.
what a weird guy.
"want to take a look at what I have here? I call it the red pirate shop, welcome!"

You ask the funny lion in a hat if he really is a pirate, like Mr. Gibbs from the ship that helps with your treasure hunting. He nods his head yes.
"I treasure hunt! I even have a boat. My pride lives in it just past the lava bog, which is south of here! Do be carful, the lava pools can get you a little turned around."
"Asikagon!!"
You whip around, yelling out a growl. "Whoa whoa whoa! are you okay?" he asks. You growl at him, asking who Asikagon is. He looks down, silent, before shaking his head.
"someone who's gone..."
You apologize for asking, & tell him that you must be hearing things. Maybe this guy could give you directions to the lava bog, and maybe even how to get past it. Best to be on his good side.
"you might be able to find my pride past the bog if you follow this route... be careful of the bridge across, some low-lifes take fake tolls at night..." he goes on to tell you how to pass the bog and get to his pride safely, so long you follow the path. it won't be easy, but surly it will make this journey easier.
