A cloaked and quick shadow jumps275Please respect copyright.PENANALZsbtA0IBF
from a dark corner to another; seconds275Please respect copyright.PENANA0ju4dRU7mL
pass and then there it is again, it is very275Please respect copyright.PENANAoEjVcHwDns
fast, easily as fast as any of them...275Please respect copyright.PENANAn6OOLI3wHX
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce275Please respect copyright.PENANAfqxfO4hFsg
as he was the only one keeping his more275Please respect copyright.PENANAwg3K3ijmix
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly275Please respect copyright.PENANAjRQuqIosBI
assumed a much more prepared stance.275Please respect copyright.PENANAZZJVKjAfOl
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as275Please respect copyright.PENANA3GNmbh9pY6
his eyes travelled through that dark, while275Please respect copyright.PENANA901iIr4ydV
standing right next to him, Lorian already275Please respect copyright.PENANAO6nQlyOAuB
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel275Please respect copyright.PENANA5tPsHvAP7E
Marce did not even consider holding275Please respect copyright.PENANAO8k8EmzzmP
his blade once. A few more unsettling275Please respect copyright.PENANAwZxAS7vLHv
seconds of silence and then a rising flame275Please respect copyright.PENANAwpWWHVtdG2
would lure them into a more open area; it275Please respect copyright.PENANA7UwYy6srSF
is a most familiar flame to some of them,275Please respect copyright.PENANAHLxj21pLPk
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.275Please respect copyright.PENANAshTCKNCtyq
A peculiar flame, a different kind of275Please respect copyright.PENANAEjlXFKBZKy
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to275Please respect copyright.PENANAO9wrKRmUAk
earn but worthy to master that currently275Please respect copyright.PENANALp1ff7Gcc6
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar275Please respect copyright.PENANAa4wQLY1nG4
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,275Please respect copyright.PENANATZ2DmNFmtl
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´275Please respect copyright.PENANABbLHJZ99Av
worshipped by some elder tribes in the275Please respect copyright.PENANAPN7He2jgbM
eastern depths of the world. Named after275Please respect copyright.PENANAUIBiVQsZnG
such divinity for it is a fire that does not275Please respect copyright.PENANAqvS7KHFbwf
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.275Please respect copyright.PENANA8g0B1sZnKZ
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.275Please respect copyright.PENANACFpqBweRm1
Regardless, that red glowing stone was275Please respect copyright.PENANAExln6IJFsY
long ago recovered by a couple of young275Please respect copyright.PENANAFz7zQai3gc
adventurers and once it was confined to275Please respect copyright.PENANAJJJGAvLYaC
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its275Please respect copyright.PENANA17FLupfChQ
wielder, after much hardship, to secure275Please respect copyright.PENANA0okMEHFGec
himself a great power. Now in front of275Please respect copyright.PENANAUv3D6vqkRx
them, waiting with his back turned, is said275Please respect copyright.PENANArxiuGt9XRQ
wielder, a large and familiar man to some275Please respect copyright.PENANASCxfiJiwRT
of them here, for his fire also served the275Please respect copyright.PENANAKVMmi9nE7c
Hand once.275Please respect copyright.PENANAvIn8CXqm2M
With his back turned to them but in275Please respect copyright.PENANAwYnlmSAAYL
an inviting manner, as if he was almost275Please respect copyright.PENANAPW3yAITqX2
waiting for them, as he too faces that275Please respect copyright.PENANAcHhTXjW9d6
mountain. The fire on his sword burns275Please respect copyright.PENANACAPY1ZLIcs
up one more time as if calling them once275Please respect copyright.PENANAjLDnAm1tQG
again...275Please respect copyright.PENANAoHkHbfuSbY
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also275Please respect copyright.PENANAtZlJ7EHw7t
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel275Please respect copyright.PENANA0vC526SxBF
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay275Please respect copyright.PENANAopdmVHXtI5
armed and ready.275Please respect copyright.PENANAbdzPtWBbQ6
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward275Please respect copyright.PENANAo1RWlXts7z
as the hooded figure gently turned around.275Please respect copyright.PENANAg3OnS68rpR
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took275Please respect copyright.PENANA34A5TIYpTR
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now275Please respect copyright.PENANAnnOZmjhxdk
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words275Please respect copyright.PENANA2jS5Zv4cTJ
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two275Please respect copyright.PENANAphPgGf0ly2
approached the rest of them.275Please respect copyright.PENANA84YKu4jYDx
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.275Please respect copyright.PENANAIQV5KDFPXu
