A cloaked and quick shadow jumps324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrEMzdMLMH

fast, easily as fast as any of them...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQ0gRDLTI
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKLlmz2kIm
as he was the only one keeping his more324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhq8hZ8Df9
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP2g7VDyHo
assumed a much more prepared stance.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpBqmAdQxN
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKspTG9K6S
his eyes travelled through that dark, while324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINEHuPsCBI
standing right next to him, Lorian already324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu7CVg9Hs7
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIntHlnJUG
Marce did not even consider holding324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ROPOkuIl
his blade once. A few more unsettling324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL6DAkbI48
seconds of silence and then a rising flame324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyGFUBYksC
would lure them into a more open area; it324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKSapXZC57
is a most familiar flame to some of them,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcSYPkd6w2
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQGtOkTFJX
A peculiar flame, a different kind of324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKKcN6LfUY
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11xYXpYZXl
earn but worthy to master that currently324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyE7ub7tGc
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA3AWiC9nR
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEnfbVaM4X
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxtTpGg7Hd
worshipped by some elder tribes in the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLSTjvM6m9
eastern depths of the world. Named after324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzRyCMxzD
such divinity for it is a fire that does not324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM3Q5csFUA
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4GXD1wAYn
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1vdx9cWTI
Regardless, that red glowing stone was324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVulY5wD5Bf
long ago recovered by a couple of young324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSWVPgGSlP
adventurers and once it was confined to324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xNLz5Yg4P

Hand once.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvUDObX7ab
With his back turned to them but in324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CoIKuiL2x
an inviting manner, as if he was almost324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViVKjrrUFT
waiting for them, as he too faces that324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSmWsonlO9
mountain. The fire on his sword burns324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit95h86Jrk
up one more time as if calling them once324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHC5CHPFR9
again...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7utxDINse
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yI4J0YeOK
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nY6F8L76t
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqiksUQo5V
armed and ready.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpkg4VGtsC
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb29tuwEvh4
as the hooded figure gently turned around.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXXSvYkvjk
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjUm1tWlLw
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHEzrzK0t
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FAmGQxMSj
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDwcn7bmcF
approached the rest of them.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8dO08jZqa
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaapSxoiOV
