“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6RDQ1vPst
as he was the only one keeping his more347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJZvuptiZL
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXewSikgvyk
assumed a much more prepared stance.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO3bCSX5YN
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsU2hwgEjG
his eyes travelled through that dark, while347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlbl71YwOU
standing right next to him, Lorian already347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipU8RgizB9
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdXuozh1Op
Marce did not even consider holding347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnqN9v4hFV
his blade once. A few more unsettling347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY38IaXdYrI
seconds of silence and then a rising flame347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4eY28dXIp
would lure them into a more open area; it347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1VzUS8Yaj
is a most familiar flame to some of them,347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgsYddiAt1
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKwvKXnb4S
A peculiar flame, a different kind of347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUjcqipNeI
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC79pl8c1T
earn but worthy to master that currently347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycvCBSduQO
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2rEikyXsY
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIddhekAZ1
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9pQbDrmov
worshipped by some elder tribes in the347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Eo1aF9sr
eastern depths of the world. Named after347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSA72X3fuu
such divinity for it is a fire that does not347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSVT4RJWMa
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJjTxPvaNv
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO60NPkXKu1
Regardless, that red glowing stone was347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzO2brz6c9
long ago recovered by a couple of young347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUpxIvtCcJ
adventurers and once it was confined to347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRrGlCUab8

Hand once.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaIK6GXlGo
With his back turned to them but in347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVzfjxD59y
an inviting manner, as if he was almost347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOqhB1HFdc
waiting for them, as he too faces that347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HErAwyL6v
mountain. The fire on his sword burns347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBA0rNalit
up one more time as if calling them once347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCSqFZD1S7

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xNZrAr9f1
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlymKlrl6My
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlXFFBxStd
armed and ready.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD2JbdJ1tj
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKciPkd7gL6
as the hooded figure gently turned around.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysnt7QhCvR
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqkPwHHGhb
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGZH9rfsiC
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dlSpKbB17
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLSOL72nKR
approached the rest of them.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18RUFEfFrB
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVAIk0qPkw
