“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYPapw7dkd
as he was the only one keeping his more319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNWHLGocNy
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe99jHW20p
assumed a much more prepared stance.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvyvSsu3P
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh7hJL3k9c
his eyes travelled through that dark, while319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHUnvbPaHD
standing right next to him, Lorian already319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhGYTVcDmS

is a most familiar flame to some of them,319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVWysn39K4
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KrgfNoPBe
A peculiar flame, a different kind of319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmPIfW9Sha

for it is named after some sort of ´deity´319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7VOkyUMFx

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPHWin5gpi
Regardless, that red glowing stone was319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQNWeQiTsU

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPfkYxLcRV
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgKofLlGzq
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5kcZ2SHYk

“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4if7VqE0
as the hooded figure gently turned around.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXvImcV1t1
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4y8nprKKs
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLRPRfMBLO
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATZw2V7lY
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEimgBAREup
approached the rest of them.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBv8cJhXai
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTI34HD2yn
