A cloaked and quick shadow jumps214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzKMBYKBzJ
from a dark corner to another; seconds214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe1rqCMtAg

fast, easily as fast as any of them...214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf3leVJoSL
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5dZkaO8kh
as he was the only one keeping his more214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YrOlawSR4
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXI7xu7xZS
assumed a much more prepared stance.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb4UEVsZTO
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXrrzBlfK7
his eyes travelled through that dark, while214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Vc80NRHd
standing right next to him, Lorian already214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelin1a6dom
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCLwOCog3T
Marce did not even consider holding214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PYjX7hWsD
his blade once. A few more unsettling214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaUM1UlwDZ
seconds of silence and then a rising flame214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxd3GSX3XY
would lure them into a more open area; it214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhKqIKjYV2
is a most familiar flame to some of them,214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivmT45mC3x
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGIrXmcz1A
A peculiar flame, a different kind of214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF678ZfBoj
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXfu5NiYhw
earn but worthy to master that currently214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgHlPwsuxr
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLfoGjNZNs
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyA7fzsqIo
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU3xAQkG6s
worshipped by some elder tribes in the214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjCScTVtH7
eastern depths of the world. Named after214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtBfYSov39
such divinity for it is a fire that does not214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBAcwq0p2Z
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFGjUuYmkS
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf98rdTSP1
Regardless, that red glowing stone was214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckcHOzIBDH
long ago recovered by a couple of young214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uQdHanZ9p
adventurers and once it was confined to214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwM3afh957
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx2XUyRiPC
wielder, after much hardship, to secure214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWOf1xk1xj
himself a great power. Now in front of214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrm1DZVUi

of them here, for his fire also served the214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aCBzndIhA
Hand once.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2AKmeVVwM
With his back turned to them but in214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc7sD635jK
an inviting manner, as if he was almost214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IiAnUUbjt
waiting for them, as he too faces that214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaECHAGl7N
mountain. The fire on his sword burns214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoyuCfnuCa
up one more time as if calling them once214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIPEudGKbh
again...214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNSpIr2dpC
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUG1xEJVU0
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBtF7DGhVJ
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuXp0AeYHM
armed and ready.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82HQEWwNq8
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAT20sQpK3
as the hooded figure gently turned around.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtI8Ti3eL
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEyaJd1UpQ
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71crtzTgNs
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcUNvcMCmh
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFslEBaSctZ
approached the rest of them.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveqb9X3qns
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriPd65wS70
