“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaK2VRxkxj
as he was the only one keeping his more343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZNMljWxb
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnawbONyff2
assumed a much more prepared stance.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJFBTPnTrb
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdLnwtmJ6o
his eyes travelled through that dark, while343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfMTqsD9uz
standing right next to him, Lorian already343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YAEWtq54l
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjjpenr35V
Marce did not even consider holding343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bs6yqPWYm
his blade once. A few more unsettling343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUFf0Byngu
seconds of silence and then a rising flame343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcWqjbvVLl
would lure them into a more open area; it343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQxpCSoLbZ
is a most familiar flame to some of them,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLfe8in9sw
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl0f21u2be
A peculiar flame, a different kind of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV7zUwcfr5

earn but worthy to master that currently343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdOSMYGT4R

for it is named after some sort of ´deity´343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi8L31BJ1u
worshipped by some elder tribes in the343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT4Y41RluV

such divinity for it is a fire that does not343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePmFlw4p6t

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84FKSz9pp1
Regardless, that red glowing stone was343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jz3JaLj7k
long ago recovered by a couple of young343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWa76KH8QS
adventurers and once it was confined to343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ixP4b6Ex

Hand once.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXZ0gmeym
With his back turned to them but in343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8vjrqQL9d
an inviting manner, as if he was almost343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXe0mHR5X3
waiting for them, as he too faces that343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj7Xe56T4t
mountain. The fire on his sword burns343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy2PdEeYWd
up one more time as if calling them once343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto4pYwj9jQ

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIJP3DAhcf
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCllA6p68Y
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5IxxHkV3z
armed and ready.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA3zaY14LE
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfGmzBwhVI
as the hooded figure gently turned around.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT38Z6i8xLy
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBTU0ikgy9
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6xrONigFi
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5NSJwvdEb
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S1nDdGSdu
approached the rest of them.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlLE5jWcMd
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOek4oO04LY
