A cloaked and quick shadow jumps176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RAA3JpBfz
from a dark corner to another; seconds176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbWB7m5cSe

fast, easily as fast as any of them...176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99af37Vnfv
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4nflxIhWr
as he was the only one keeping his more176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQPKhYJp1P
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq8doyGtXD
assumed a much more prepared stance.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSF1fEEjcd
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL3rcpSah7
his eyes travelled through that dark, while176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDvj3eZyRe
standing right next to him, Lorian already176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpPoiWwLxd
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCMGknVl1h
Marce did not even consider holding176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC04WXz4UE
his blade once. A few more unsettling176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBJK7z780k
seconds of silence and then a rising flame176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZUKurH9Fs
would lure them into a more open area; it176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAmhzDtNW1
is a most familiar flame to some of them,176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyZ6thyFYA
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43JyhdL467
A peculiar flame, a different kind of176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2waQDIUs2M
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9az5U1mmdo
earn but worthy to master that currently176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXTGAUgCJh
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf9L04kemB
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvRDeuafjA
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56wNWfP6WR
worshipped by some elder tribes in the176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxHlFgdQCY
eastern depths of the world. Named after176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg2jprRnVj
such divinity for it is a fire that does not176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2myiIhNEm3
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v3AeEpKj1
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNAA5GwkPn
Regardless, that red glowing stone was176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyTF6VdBo2
long ago recovered by a couple of young176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW0rNRHczC
adventurers and once it was confined to176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBg37OxOGz
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHUBjyfyz6
wielder, after much hardship, to secure176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbFOf6i3Vc
himself a great power. Now in front of176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9FVej7EA
them, waiting with his back turned, is said176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRZpQZb3JT
wielder, a large and familiar man to some176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e2fGsmEnB
of them here, for his fire also served the176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5PWcYBggE
Hand once.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa3CAWdKaE
With his back turned to them but in176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqmWa79hS9
an inviting manner, as if he was almost176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LbmcQn6wt
waiting for them, as he too faces that176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62CbNghtv
mountain. The fire on his sword burns176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKZuYHEFZF
up one more time as if calling them once176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kuiOEK7IJ
again...176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIhdd18jsI
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuShmVWwm6N
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOn2OxgjXM
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMlNRhzDBn
armed and ready.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnn3cUmIjo
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSzPGVVgWV
as the hooded figure gently turned around.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0cA8hPPca
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtFSoH6frT
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65hizuomcd
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n1cnIVI8w
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrTs6tIk2P
approached the rest of them.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYeGnQKEs
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMRQ2P5lIQ
