A cloaked and quick shadow jumps216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvWCuFSvE2
from a dark corner to another; seconds216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXoIL2cJ1k

fast, easily as fast as any of them...216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD0J8dweTb
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtrlwwaKsV
as he was the only one keeping his more216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsczPblW9
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4omwKkkMs
assumed a much more prepared stance.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUKh6F0waC
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjVCvPjBOv
his eyes travelled through that dark, while216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJtrEtU8YC
standing right next to him, Lorian already216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GV73ERETa
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjyyPBQmxj
Marce did not even consider holding216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K6SjhdCUi
his blade once. A few more unsettling216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVbltnCnjj
seconds of silence and then a rising flame216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXaEKZQmhs
would lure them into a more open area; it216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Qt2S6XRh
is a most familiar flame to some of them,216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUIe6JXUSP
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l0xLLiqJk
A peculiar flame, a different kind of216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXM9fxIoA
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVHCPNDPVB
earn but worthy to master that currently216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKyIIGEYC
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9lTIyf9dV
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSlm2y4GWf
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApL6FF7ESe
worshipped by some elder tribes in the216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrHUje46DB
eastern depths of the world. Named after216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4BLv2nmTz
such divinity for it is a fire that does not216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkxzpU4TxO
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yxh6xC488
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL3kkRwbUK
Regardless, that red glowing stone was216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbitRvCvSue
long ago recovered by a couple of young216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8INFqU0rWD
adventurers and once it was confined to216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zWxVjI0Ot
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Q6epxOoH
wielder, after much hardship, to secure216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJDCPRdJXj
himself a great power. Now in front of216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhXXIDMzPc
them, waiting with his back turned, is said216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWBb4Tl2Jt
wielder, a large and familiar man to some216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPFDfeAI3G
of them here, for his fire also served the216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zJWXCI4Q6
Hand once.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6EBXFEiax
With his back turned to them but in216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo23bs7PvX
an inviting manner, as if he was almost216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIaRQVHaGs
waiting for them, as he too faces that216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmjj8BVBv2
mountain. The fire on his sword burns216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJAsxfWVZg
up one more time as if calling them once216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxuHdbZ4P
again...216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9e4BFYH0k
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyGbLNIoFn
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwPfTQRwWJ
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGGKqL74Bl
armed and ready.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQblbh8ZW3n
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pAy8wAboZ
as the hooded figure gently turned around.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXO1QoxKeX
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UrWnRzVpD
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyKG3trAOX
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuN3YSWB0S
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpUeL5RPoW
approached the rest of them.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn4Hn4jNnQ
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gJz6nDHkM
