This is Oswald's final story. Oswald came here after learning from Skuldi that Gwendolyn was given to Onyx in order to start a war between Ragananival and Volkenon. Odin would come here as well to check on his daughter. He would learn that Onyx knew the spell and laughing at him he 'hopes' that Onyx get's his wish telling him the truth of the spell. Oswald would fight his way to Gwendolyn but would be stopped by Onyx who would insult and berate Oswald calling him a hooligan, and to step away from his 'Queen' to which Oswald would return with his own mocking question of "Your Queen eh?" Onyx would then go how Gwendolyn would be the bride of Onyx and how she would sit at his side watching the world go to ruin.

Trivia[]
- Volkenon is probably based off of Muspelheim, the land of fire, no one except Muspel's sons is able to live there. These "sons" must be referring to the Vulcans from the game, Onyx's servants. In the norse mythology Muspelheim was one of the two kingdoms that is said to have created the world.
- the structures in this kingdom somehow resemble the ruins structures of the Roman Empire, if truly applied, the previous civilization that previously existed in the same place as the fire kingdom may had been based off in this nation, in real life history of Europe, roman empire had been placed on its tomb top by other superpower empires after its collapse in 476 A.D.
