The Legend of the Magma Core

Forged in the heart of Mount Cinder by Vulcan himself, the Magma Core was no mere golf ball. Legend held that it was a solidified tear of the fire god, imbued with the volcano's volatile spirit. Its first (and perhaps only) game was played on the ashen plains of Tartarus between Hercules and the titan Atlas. Each swing left a searing trail of smoke, the scent of sulfur clinging to the scorched earth. One errant shot nearly ignited the Fields of Mourning, forcing a temporary truce to stomp out the inferno. Atlas, unnerved by the ball's unpredictable nature and the wisps of flame licking at his heels, conceded the match, declaring the Magma Core too dangerous, even for the gods. It was then banished to the mortal realm, where it awaits a golfer brave (or foolish) enough to unleash its fiery potential once more.
