“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM37mX5CKS
as he was the only one keeping his more392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx29q7U5Rc
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ6to8D00T
assumed a much more prepared stance.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIP6sBR6xZ
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc3WM8rUv9
his eyes travelled through that dark, while392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL35TKCqPPd
standing right next to him, Lorian already392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uaH9JwATr
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kQetUtS2W
Marce did not even consider holding392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10SqXOTVkK
his blade once. A few more unsettling392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eXSjeYbNi
seconds of silence and then a rising flame392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr0E3va5la
would lure them into a more open area; it392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNt1qZC6Qv
is a most familiar flame to some of them,392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjmRmRYeWh
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkigXvfQGp
A peculiar flame, a different kind of392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwjdIR10yq
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sNdomMGRP
earn but worthy to master that currently392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRSiFpBpOs
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM4i8tOoxV
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQoPyUMo5
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VSjDRFPdP
worshipped by some elder tribes in the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64OXpJ2MZP
eastern depths of the world. Named after392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dbfXEL1Kp
such divinity for it is a fire that does not392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qxoSVImVt

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7sn1RYQFZ
Regardless, that red glowing stone was392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3LhfQe4go
long ago recovered by a couple of young392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuAO05DoAG

Hand once.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOTuiwFUdv
With his back turned to them but in392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO52G4eTAj
an inviting manner, as if he was almost392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TLQXNWUNV
waiting for them, as he too faces that392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeggQMQ7sZ
mountain. The fire on his sword burns392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeuVnRB3GM
up one more time as if calling them once392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf6j7FMk7F

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJEO1XI5YM
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZdIG6GEtV
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaAHqH2wFP
armed and ready.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxedEEgkHk
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW1WHQdOME
as the hooded figure gently turned around.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWQXUnIfrO
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHrMvgRKD9
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7R9wgZ2wm
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxssciofbyI
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK33D20S7iR
approached the rest of them.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouhEQfnHps
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgnMa1wk0D
