A cloaked and quick shadow jumps283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ko7r7RuR
from a dark corner to another; seconds283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O0aTarmAy

fast, easily as fast as any of them...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb5IGAXEWR
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDWxdl2coq
as he was the only one keeping his more283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm6W8gn4m6
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrOTqfeNZ
assumed a much more prepared stance.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD56AaUctcW
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ591fXl4ikI
his eyes travelled through that dark, while283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oQwuOpkNN
standing right next to him, Lorian already283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfxtamEIc1
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelD0UyaliE
Marce did not even consider holding283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw1ujhJk9h
his blade once. A few more unsettling283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0TfwMBQ9U
seconds of silence and then a rising flame283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZZCOSJLNM
would lure them into a more open area; it283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ8dh8am7w
is a most familiar flame to some of them,283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwHTwYIGtd
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh4EnHSSaI
A peculiar flame, a different kind of283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem7KtlT1wf
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyK3d8Dsz8
earn but worthy to master that currently283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ0Tt8AbxR
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdig5wvgPUb
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd6NJ76p0I
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexweWsgo9f
worshipped by some elder tribes in the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9WCkAZnxA
eastern depths of the world. Named after283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNE447g1YN
such divinity for it is a fire that does not283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGWaIB0aJH
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ254pXFTnxZ
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqjcYtJUJe
Regardless, that red glowing stone was283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWbqyvRKW6
long ago recovered by a couple of young283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtUP3FdK4C
adventurers and once it was confined to283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVnGGbGWbW
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqsXjoC8Z9
wielder, after much hardship, to secure283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlarOTrVZ5
himself a great power. Now in front of283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKk5TFshqr
them, waiting with his back turned, is said283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXNCrktvWG
wielder, a large and familiar man to some283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRDcjq7Xpg
of them here, for his fire also served the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1AlG5pNEH
Hand once.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeBgEuom9z
With his back turned to them but in283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfzJvMc0dF
an inviting manner, as if he was almost283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn71eAXRTB
waiting for them, as he too faces that283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvRu2IVYHV
mountain. The fire on his sword burns283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2L90vwzUH
up one more time as if calling them once283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD9R2bY9EE
again...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBhR0P9Ybg
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm9k6XpYbt
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4a2hrG9kO
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLfyUg7YEO
armed and ready.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQnHJgQkyF
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsU8wLUqoo
as the hooded figure gently turned around.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukKvUKvEhQ
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CotjYpjKw
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89AUxeCsE
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs3y3vCfge
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntYZqVfduG
approached the rest of them.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWQIyCz5UR
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ONMwVQ9g
