A cloaked and quick shadow jumps388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbzYl4EqXW

fast, easily as fast as any of them...388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA0avGh8Ty
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJdeAByU4L
as he was the only one keeping his more388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuSPhETGux
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZkwJQ7PDB
assumed a much more prepared stance.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAzhFkAeOy
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0tK2cfeSO
his eyes travelled through that dark, while388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXO9rTjU1I
standing right next to him, Lorian already388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmv2XdG5ok
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkZiwRRwZK
Marce did not even consider holding388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUD4gnb6M9
his blade once. A few more unsettling388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7axzSNeN9
seconds of silence and then a rising flame388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1dM95RReB
would lure them into a more open area; it388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPVybsKWFD
is a most familiar flame to some of them,388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeTZIdQYEB
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJgaggYA3
A peculiar flame, a different kind of388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThBUO5Wypd
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdPFvEp9tT
earn but worthy to master that currently388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4OQOOVBU
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt427dN7DG
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTdg6A7E5b
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKedDjewuAE
worshipped by some elder tribes in the388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEbuMh3ku6
eastern depths of the world. Named after388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiTNPjJ5sX
such divinity for it is a fire that does not388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWxEXPT978
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLyVBegeH
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3D2oflVZc
Regardless, that red glowing stone was388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT62MvgOZdE
long ago recovered by a couple of young388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS79oHEuTK
adventurers and once it was confined to388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbpclG38Lw

Hand once.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN0MBCSoNc
With his back turned to them but in388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicbhrHKzJk
an inviting manner, as if he was almost388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnsvpjTP7
waiting for them, as he too faces that388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hoEygKjin
mountain. The fire on his sword burns388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAbZigezep
up one more time as if calling them once388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uE8Jpy15o
again...388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAr7AF4Q1L
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMCjfyXJfw
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4xs9mqc8l
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn7EzlkdqP
armed and ready.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p0JjEGkw8
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Zs5cizJH
as the hooded figure gently turned around.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rcOwiduSz
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u8oi4teuf
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82On6EicdT
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO7gG4mMza
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLpdWdizab
approached the rest of them.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvDMz0Szzs
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcXoxh2Uyv
