A cloaked and quick shadow jumps315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrfUn0KCF

fast, easily as fast as any of them...315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4ztAKnHgf
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sgserHbvt
as he was the only one keeping his more315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTJQq5WAfZ
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYHvKjdyA2
assumed a much more prepared stance.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJa1dtUmN
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHVVqzxDRj
his eyes travelled through that dark, while315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GUrWUL3T0
standing right next to him, Lorian already315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7qJe4rUOB
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA19ulWL0Y2
Marce did not even consider holding315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldCMY9UoPW
his blade once. A few more unsettling315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQHHxPdqK7
seconds of silence and then a rising flame315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZHEIs4gkC
would lure them into a more open area; it315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDeyY4JDcp
is a most familiar flame to some of them,315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8teWFjZGL
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrj5sb3z4b
A peculiar flame, a different kind of315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJVvTOn9Cz
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvJxe608E1
earn but worthy to master that currently315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I8t6Vprrg
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVgwDU09pj
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbMK6lGbDq
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBAvllwlz6
worshipped by some elder tribes in the315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrYXmqtXC8
eastern depths of the world. Named after315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SuhQFQCrK
such divinity for it is a fire that does not315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k66LmpX47
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8DigNp6hd
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7DR5f8EpP
Regardless, that red glowing stone was315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpl3PwEfrw
long ago recovered by a couple of young315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiqz61fquR
adventurers and once it was confined to315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ky26fGhri

Hand once.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcotD1hn4y
With his back turned to them but in315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkw6UbE0yF
an inviting manner, as if he was almost315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xEQm66ry5
waiting for them, as he too faces that315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k0Qxygi1x
mountain. The fire on his sword burns315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ItpXlY4N8
up one more time as if calling them once315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioxH45z75g
again...315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeSJgSJJGz
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ODwqf3BwB
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTYHMPkUOf
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXApc3fhtUk
armed and ready.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhcStiHQWA
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eyddNrIU8
as the hooded figure gently turned around.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RI1nyFKKa
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqUFDRJcNp
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxonxyXrc4N
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KtxKIXI5L
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtLN1SkcOi
approached the rest of them.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ar7pySQAi
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBsTqBZ0xg
