A cloaked and quick shadow jumps371Please respect copyright.PENANAqCVtddD7z7
from a dark corner to another; seconds371Please respect copyright.PENANAU1cIiGVRhC

fast, easily as fast as any of them...371Please respect copyright.PENANAJwmHcniHNQ
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce371Please respect copyright.PENANALNmKH6HMJ4
as he was the only one keeping his more371Please respect copyright.PENANAN38xzlSMYZ
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly371Please respect copyright.PENANAqSgUMczgrD
assumed a much more prepared stance.371Please respect copyright.PENANAo1JaTnG0G9
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as371Please respect copyright.PENANAhaw4r9IGw9
his eyes travelled through that dark, while371Please respect copyright.PENANABfo3S3V1e6
standing right next to him, Lorian already371Please respect copyright.PENANA5CoXsbVNx6
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel371Please respect copyright.PENANAcIKY9S4z2D
Marce did not even consider holding371Please respect copyright.PENANAHCk6JPbGHO
his blade once. A few more unsettling371Please respect copyright.PENANAuxd6IrQlrw
seconds of silence and then a rising flame371Please respect copyright.PENANAlooEgyPsH7
would lure them into a more open area; it371Please respect copyright.PENANA7wJrjgK8hv
is a most familiar flame to some of them,371Please respect copyright.PENANAVlCTP5yfOU
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.371Please respect copyright.PENANAJL0Tol9YXV
A peculiar flame, a different kind of371Please respect copyright.PENANAtsqvMF6Bpy
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to371Please respect copyright.PENANAjrSmETtBnV
earn but worthy to master that currently371Please respect copyright.PENANAufb0gGQyOy
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar371Please respect copyright.PENANAd8nrnXuNY8
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,371Please respect copyright.PENANA9cgDZRKJj2
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´371Please respect copyright.PENANAUiJtmIfhKf
worshipped by some elder tribes in the371Please respect copyright.PENANAZHnORbldZx
eastern depths of the world. Named after371Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Km8Kq7iw
such divinity for it is a fire that does not371Please respect copyright.PENANAxrWEhhXD0H
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.371Please respect copyright.PENANAzOFNAzm0Gr
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.371Please respect copyright.PENANA55Eoum86vR
Regardless, that red glowing stone was371Please respect copyright.PENANAbW1miUWnFW
long ago recovered by a couple of young371Please respect copyright.PENANAhkaG0bclca
adventurers and once it was confined to371Please respect copyright.PENANA1qZLQZVeWf
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its371Please respect copyright.PENANA8LKwrbxbsk
wielder, after much hardship, to secure371Please respect copyright.PENANAts9T0tUGbe
himself a great power. Now in front of371Please respect copyright.PENANANb8HoQuPvT
them, waiting with his back turned, is said371Please respect copyright.PENANAO9X1jrw59a
wielder, a large and familiar man to some371Please respect copyright.PENANAyX7i2mxqTr
of them here, for his fire also served the371Please respect copyright.PENANArnxLZuss7X
Hand once.371Please respect copyright.PENANAgejzhwIz0r
With his back turned to them but in371Please respect copyright.PENANAI9yPlVzKZ0
an inviting manner, as if he was almost371Please respect copyright.PENANARjKlFNsOx3
waiting for them, as he too faces that371Please respect copyright.PENANACTFM2iTeIV
mountain. The fire on his sword burns371Please respect copyright.PENANA30OuiTGsrR
up one more time as if calling them once371Please respect copyright.PENANAI5rEPPZ56t
again...371Please respect copyright.PENANABBNSuOU5l1
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also371Please respect copyright.PENANApgJYoU3fVI
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel371Please respect copyright.PENANAVppT1RejCd
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay371Please respect copyright.PENANAioq954c3y1
armed and ready.371Please respect copyright.PENANAAg6YcJ5gCe
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward371Please respect copyright.PENANA29bmvKvtii
as the hooded figure gently turned around.371Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7gY0oSJeK
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took371Please respect copyright.PENANA9eX9sM4Dd5
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now371Please respect copyright.PENANAxwtFp5nHRk
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words371Please respect copyright.PENANAkGij03lF3h
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two371Please respect copyright.PENANARcoi9xTEox
approached the rest of them.371Please respect copyright.PENANAfXtJXNO9VT
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.371Please respect copyright.PENANAl8mVG22U8n
