A cloaked and quick shadow jumps382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfw08C8xnz
from a dark corner to another; seconds382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf7lNZIxjD

fast, easily as fast as any of them...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGX4InP9pb
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9NCDdUtN
as he was the only one keeping his more382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS75VGaFQZ
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqFKsbLBco
assumed a much more prepared stance.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqDerNcBZU
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGagnJNbs
his eyes travelled through that dark, while382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhovXDTWjr
standing right next to him, Lorian already382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CcogjlvbC
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwrshXX8W1
Marce did not even consider holding382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfqANaKI1m
his blade once. A few more unsettling382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aU3jFK8OK
seconds of silence and then a rising flame382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0MoCkclPM
would lure them into a more open area; it382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimwjgqU1aN
is a most familiar flame to some of them,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4oaXehKVB
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72xkEE9Qe3
A peculiar flame, a different kind of382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpZO9Cnw6M
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1huZrAq7F
earn but worthy to master that currently382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMq6vlum8C
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HESRfxSpa
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPK56YrLAi
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4XST67sZP
worshipped by some elder tribes in the382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFKbYRNU7r
eastern depths of the world. Named after382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB08dJNL5K
such divinity for it is a fire that does not382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHyV2kd8yg
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7JNWQX6h5
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzQ8DuCrHC
Regardless, that red glowing stone was382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ehhFqlJ2y
long ago recovered by a couple of young382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrziplVmE
adventurers and once it was confined to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6rKWoIBet

Hand once.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuSrNTC0oO
With his back turned to them but in382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvbe9MzDFX
an inviting manner, as if he was almost382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT129FGonI6
waiting for them, as he too faces that382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl14eltPmd
mountain. The fire on his sword burns382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqNQZhvAHP
up one more time as if calling them once382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdOPH5VIxb
again...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPcXcOvluk
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblmo9wzBPa
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0IgRLKWEb
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58SSin0wmq
armed and ready.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfulp58lGI3
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2P61Sd51e
as the hooded figure gently turned around.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm9DRmxKHl
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip0LFEoPPV
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEN9EGI2Lj
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY0NLZYmvb
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTEoV0Rumw
approached the rest of them.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaatyV0n096
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIWvXuYmIT
