“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce300Please respect copyright.PENANAqInRzuqHyB
as he was the only one keeping his more300Please respect copyright.PENANA5ocvj6gzVc
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly300Please respect copyright.PENANA6XT8RA6Fbg
assumed a much more prepared stance.300Please respect copyright.PENANAJUqYAfqxU6
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as300Please respect copyright.PENANA2wWDv8ZQ71
his eyes travelled through that dark, while300Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwWTD2q95
standing right next to him, Lorian already300Please respect copyright.PENANAwOSWgYYzGH
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel300Please respect copyright.PENANAsSdZQhrdNz
Marce did not even consider holding300Please respect copyright.PENANAKylafqwPoT
his blade once. A few more unsettling300Please respect copyright.PENANABln20dZe3t
seconds of silence and then a rising flame300Please respect copyright.PENANAE4QxXvMZR9
would lure them into a more open area; it300Please respect copyright.PENANAasHhjUJHq0
is a most familiar flame to some of them,300Please respect copyright.PENANARC41LCawB2
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.300Please respect copyright.PENANAiMWFzABG3U
A peculiar flame, a different kind of300Please respect copyright.PENANAATXQvgJHc5

for it is named after some sort of ´deity´300Please respect copyright.PENANAIW4J4SlWl5

such divinity for it is a fire that does not300Please respect copyright.PENANAFiyrnhfRJj

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.300Please respect copyright.PENANAKrwaqB228V
Regardless, that red glowing stone was300Please respect copyright.PENANACTQPdLwJGh
long ago recovered by a couple of young300Please respect copyright.PENANAGyjMfDErNO

With his back turned to them but in300Please respect copyright.PENANAuYwXQDgXEY
an inviting manner, as if he was almost300Please respect copyright.PENANAlCcCWtHG04

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also300Please respect copyright.PENANASTL0TiOgne
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel300Please respect copyright.PENANAUpkUz0pEF6
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay300Please respect copyright.PENANAKiQR3wkRU2
armed and ready.300Please respect copyright.PENANA15mOjLa26l
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward300Please respect copyright.PENANAsw3VXG2ofV
as the hooded figure gently turned around.300Please respect copyright.PENANAHs8jvbHBy5
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took300Please respect copyright.PENANAUhs9F6Awx5
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now300Please respect copyright.PENANAAvm0DD5RSk
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words300Please respect copyright.PENANAHeHGsQYiXp
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two300Please respect copyright.PENANAfjKhLX41Lg

Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.300Please respect copyright.PENANAxTn0sOYC1l
