A cloaked and quick shadow jumps402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc2oRuKHjX

“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhQF0Dr4Iv
as he was the only one keeping his more402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjsXO3HAU4
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFicegQH5ze
assumed a much more prepared stance.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6kAZbtLg9
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UQXv4fKjR
his eyes travelled through that dark, while402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzu2ujzIy4
standing right next to him, Lorian already402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLtVbp6JOw
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1VU8wONSM
Marce did not even consider holding402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOai0uiqEv
his blade once. A few more unsettling402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl1TxU9INM
seconds of silence and then a rising flame402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1yf7PS5VM
would lure them into a more open area; it402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTACRPfDGGA
is a most familiar flame to some of them,402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD65afARZB1
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfseVdlHaU
A peculiar flame, a different kind of402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR9pMT4ary
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX67TlGoCGS
earn but worthy to master that currently402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUT9esdMzS
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRora9fbuZ
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVY1RQYTIX
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGswdyo5aVz
worshipped by some elder tribes in the402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOHKdyxqsA
eastern depths of the world. Named after402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47HqR60SeC
such divinity for it is a fire that does not402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRmNCbypK
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEHQsve6WY
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChOmb5bjTl
Regardless, that red glowing stone was402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpkALjpcot
long ago recovered by a couple of young402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hKsejG16G
adventurers and once it was confined to402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2qXA2RM5g
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NuJuYke1Y

Hand once.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqoipvAA33
With his back turned to them but in402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVirBhDR67s
an inviting manner, as if he was almost402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHAeQxf1fq
waiting for them, as he too faces that402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf2g0CoCWE
mountain. The fire on his sword burns402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXrByEXUG7
up one more time as if calling them once402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtvsyXv5f6
again...402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ24Tmxxi5
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NnsKg7dZA
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxH9ZiXQrz
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImC537bpiR
armed and ready.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZTwTzkUju
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VCExHm1rt
as the hooded figure gently turned around.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUCFz2UFQO
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh11xenXl4
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftn6qMjjda
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBDJRdYm8C
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzA8Ohalnl
approached the rest of them.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyRHWRtukh
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBUfwZGgGS
