A cloaked and quick shadow jumps275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZsbtA0IBF
from a dark corner to another; seconds275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ju4dRU7mL

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

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
