A cloaked and quick shadow jumps363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12iJyOn43T

fast, easily as fast as any of them...363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wzA7yqUou
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLzcHKUwMS
as he was the only one keeping his more363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx0jPiw6PF
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2SNFo6ZyC
assumed a much more prepared stance.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQExxgnUsC
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmpbh0KSAU
his eyes travelled through that dark, while363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1PySnN9nJ
standing right next to him, Lorian already363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGh8aXITdF
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeJnGy2dDs
Marce did not even consider holding363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZNtemzski
his blade once. A few more unsettling363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOR8WDWWEh
seconds of silence and then a rising flame363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd8zZZKhSO
would lure them into a more open area; it363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xAnebiklU
is a most familiar flame to some of them,363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNDYad7sYg
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp373TflHFB
A peculiar flame, a different kind of363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT3MhEgaD7
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrtM8XrKES
earn but worthy to master that currently363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGNQIjl5v
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7lNlOFYOu
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskfDkuZZjS
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwB0Z2oVpC
worshipped by some elder tribes in the363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HoKhNDjvE
eastern depths of the world. Named after363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKkvBIgP96
such divinity for it is a fire that does not363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqZPaPge2k
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpImvxMcQpc
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOMoeVl6Om
Regardless, that red glowing stone was363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsVTDyUAD1
long ago recovered by a couple of young363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p7gpO1PbR
adventurers and once it was confined to363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxemyJ0KKU

Hand once.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFHdmC2JPi
With his back turned to them but in363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKevGZzTVpA
an inviting manner, as if he was almost363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aq6r51PFV
waiting for them, as he too faces that363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIDnB8iRI
mountain. The fire on his sword burns363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq7wCxhrEC
up one more time as if calling them once363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpSJx4dtaf
again...363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZTQ3UVL11
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS0OYhFOU9
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GN1pwkiOj
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG80A3l5rOU
armed and ready.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mOVRhty7z
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcOKgmAUNS
as the hooded figure gently turned around.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf71mc3LKmT
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI7gvFBEW9
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlc17dpBI
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QmX2dNIZj
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmRaXS8rdE
approached the rest of them.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY9h0BCjsn
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiHIQcJTXF
