“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

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

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgz0F4B0LM
Regardless, that red glowing stone was375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYjBrIIrH7

With his back turned to them but in375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0CiJkfjoH

“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
