A cloaked and quick shadow jumps120Please respect copyright.PENANAHic7G1D8nE
from a dark corner to another; seconds120Please respect copyright.PENANAXjo8YhQh5A
pass and then there it is again, it is very120Please respect copyright.PENANAvt9RW5ftZI
fast, easily as fast as any of them...120Please respect copyright.PENANAZdTsyufV13
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce120Please respect copyright.PENANACjPRNiKAZF
as he was the only one keeping his more120Please respect copyright.PENANAYQFfJJKonO
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly120Please respect copyright.PENANAQtHe6w6SaS
assumed a much more prepared stance.120Please respect copyright.PENANAdEEzpE3V9Z
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as120Please respect copyright.PENANA50Br8lJ7jP
his eyes travelled through that dark, while120Please respect copyright.PENANA9kdVdNhqCG
standing right next to him, Lorian already120Please respect copyright.PENANAjfkGENLX2g
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel120Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ZadWI5VE
Marce did not even consider holding120Please respect copyright.PENANA67HVYTUraj
his blade once. A few more unsettling120Please respect copyright.PENANA2GgwTI2wNo
seconds of silence and then a rising flame120Please respect copyright.PENANAcuPLotgW0e
would lure them into a more open area; it120Please respect copyright.PENANAndJCQlbxrV
is a most familiar flame to some of them,120Please respect copyright.PENANAHn0z7vsiMB
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.120Please respect copyright.PENANAt9vHrcBJYO
A peculiar flame, a different kind of120Please respect copyright.PENANAykvlrRW0JA
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to120Please respect copyright.PENANAKpS1TYeKLl
earn but worthy to master that currently120Please respect copyright.PENANAKdgyZBUz4j
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar120Please respect copyright.PENANAnacTFYlaXw
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,120Please respect copyright.PENANArR5ceJBqqb
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´120Please respect copyright.PENANA8FF4VLH7ZE
worshipped by some elder tribes in the120Please respect copyright.PENANArGcyaKqAzX
eastern depths of the world. Named after120Please respect copyright.PENANA2he012jdAE
such divinity for it is a fire that does not120Please respect copyright.PENANAZt6kbNTaFm
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.120Please respect copyright.PENANAH3RKLvGfEk
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.120Please respect copyright.PENANAdMcEYeM9yh
Regardless, that red glowing stone was120Please respect copyright.PENANA3YEiXgVpYF
long ago recovered by a couple of young120Please respect copyright.PENANAIZeG4K5qrn
adventurers and once it was confined to120Please respect copyright.PENANABiTSHCTgIY
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its120Please respect copyright.PENANA8QTJP0IqKw
wielder, after much hardship, to secure120Please respect copyright.PENANAzDumfcZbO3
himself a great power. Now in front of120Please respect copyright.PENANAvThjOmwYt7
them, waiting with his back turned, is said120Please respect copyright.PENANA7h78yQlZII
wielder, a large and familiar man to some120Please respect copyright.PENANArr688s9WXh
of them here, for his fire also served the120Please respect copyright.PENANAFnMvWWXNn4
Hand once.120Please respect copyright.PENANAwDVEuZyPIn
With his back turned to them but in120Please respect copyright.PENANAH85pFX20oZ
an inviting manner, as if he was almost120Please respect copyright.PENANASnaZ8y95h3
waiting for them, as he too faces that120Please respect copyright.PENANA1PZb8imaL5
mountain. The fire on his sword burns120Please respect copyright.PENANA6WyQZgeSTI
up one more time as if calling them once120Please respect copyright.PENANA97E5oa3oAs
again...120Please respect copyright.PENANAKWrvC3OgbB
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also120Please respect copyright.PENANAOtGFP4uxmX
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel120Please respect copyright.PENANAKL3Nm4uZYY
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay120Please respect copyright.PENANA4y3YqGulDo
armed and ready.120Please respect copyright.PENANAy2aCboMA0x
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward120Please respect copyright.PENANAwB8p7LhjJR
as the hooded figure gently turned around.120Please respect copyright.PENANA7w9pfg7Zdi
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took120Please respect copyright.PENANAhmaYH7zg5J
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now120Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9qyvDcxJm
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words120Please respect copyright.PENANAu5roz0JPky
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two120Please respect copyright.PENANAr2CwgccmHY
approached the rest of them.120Please respect copyright.PENANA8b8CtPQ2e3
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.120Please respect copyright.PENANArRiTJSfuLa
