“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY4JbOIZYI
as he was the only one keeping his more318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo5TdB77T5
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDp7Wxcg2A
assumed a much more prepared stance.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmzSrVylXS
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vWdZpnSiH
his eyes travelled through that dark, while318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD4FzArCvG
standing right next to him, Lorian already318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM88vMLEro

Marce did not even consider holding318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvcUkZRYo8
his blade once. A few more unsettling318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqkBNk69ae

is a most familiar flame to some of them,318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgJQF28Ras
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR53zGzwMOj
A peculiar flame, a different kind of318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiihxPHbUqo

for it is named after some sort of ´deity´318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1KEiltMhC

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEjkRgFoSZ
Regardless, that red glowing stone was318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT1TvcHHog
long ago recovered by a couple of young318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fgRvuZPCx

With his back turned to them but in318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIStFU0t8Z
an inviting manner, as if he was almost318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b51mKI7Xa
waiting for them, as he too faces that318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUfzUQVLXR

up one more time as if calling them once318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqo3M1lES

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxethlDL2Qx
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJur6NWFIJX
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgAsG4xb1r

“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hIMGj7gvg
as the hooded figure gently turned around.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9M4Syrhy3
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBrTXQ8BPe
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR9A9qEJ3u
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxa0bHFNMr
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHzaXyMg9C
approached the rest of them.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitPNtyu4hW
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwQ8mNhxln
