“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce375Please respect copyright.PENANAWL5tzC0F4P
as he was the only one keeping his more375Please respect copyright.PENANAHV5jCBvYIC
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly375Please respect copyright.PENANAiFXZ3ZwFxx
assumed a much more prepared stance.375Please respect copyright.PENANA6zHEz8JaQa
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as375Please respect copyright.PENANAWr65MA6PSe
his eyes travelled through that dark, while375Please respect copyright.PENANAdBkElL4WNF
standing right next to him, Lorian already375Please respect copyright.PENANAyZrRXAcTYu
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel375Please respect copyright.PENANAVz120JWAN9
Marce did not even consider holding375Please respect copyright.PENANAJjLPkzn6G8
his blade once. A few more unsettling375Please respect copyright.PENANAB6s1vCRPQf
seconds of silence and then a rising flame375Please respect copyright.PENANAkWmqb9cyEk
would lure them into a more open area; it375Please respect copyright.PENANAjmz7eID8wR
is a most familiar flame to some of them,375Please respect copyright.PENANAJncQb68u6n
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.375Please respect copyright.PENANAfAVEOMbMtD
A peculiar flame, a different kind of375Please respect copyright.PENANAoXcrnQp5F3

earn but worthy to master that currently375Please respect copyright.PENANAJzOP31pjJE
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar375Please respect copyright.PENANA9p71fmTpFD
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,375Please respect copyright.PENANAnYb1qBwksb
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´375Please respect copyright.PENANAKWXNsYc4ZC
worshipped by some elder tribes in the375Please respect copyright.PENANAh8XZsd5y16
eastern depths of the world. Named after375Please respect copyright.PENANAioNop6Mstu
such divinity for it is a fire that does not375Please respect copyright.PENANACleHQOmAvs

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.375Please respect copyright.PENANAxgz0F4B0LM
Regardless, that red glowing stone was375Please respect copyright.PENANAYYjBrIIrH7
long ago recovered by a couple of young375Please respect copyright.PENANABeYhqUgI7g
adventurers and once it was confined to375Please respect copyright.PENANAk7HuBHIBIV

With his back turned to them but in375Please respect copyright.PENANAz0CiJkfjoH
an inviting manner, as if he was almost375Please respect copyright.PENANAexA8EKLNpS
waiting for them, as he too faces that375Please respect copyright.PENANADd8YAG0RTf
mountain. The fire on his sword burns375Please respect copyright.PENANAum0rhSxDUJ

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also375Please respect copyright.PENANAgNY3dOrPB7
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel375Please respect copyright.PENANAADij5yQ8iA
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay375Please respect copyright.PENANAOqqkURD207
armed and ready.375Please respect copyright.PENANAGRrFH7kEAB
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward375Please respect copyright.PENANAxHXLt63D5s
as the hooded figure gently turned around.375Please respect copyright.PENANAtQUlIReLZg
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took375Please respect copyright.PENANAKYnPi7pgO8
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now375Please respect copyright.PENANAXD7W4Qqdio
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words375Please respect copyright.PENANAj88RVAVRvl
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two375Please respect copyright.PENANATVuIH3sVo9
approached the rest of them.375Please respect copyright.PENANAwSTRqKWUEj
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.375Please respect copyright.PENANAdHftqPunbU
