“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YVya3ZLXL
as he was the only one keeping his more384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFcfM6nlMX
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1RgVBskRl
assumed a much more prepared stance.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy61IdUcBOQ
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTI5WHQZ93
his eyes travelled through that dark, while384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQZsj9xrRn
standing right next to him, Lorian already384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzTwiglsji
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdxYQ97MPf
Marce did not even consider holding384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQNVLTZSh
his blade once. A few more unsettling384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlY5xPUwKM
seconds of silence and then a rising flame384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjL2yM416V
would lure them into a more open area; it384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu11mZt7BQ
is a most familiar flame to some of them,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrERqGGJ9P5
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVJryW7XDo
A peculiar flame, a different kind of384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAQokqhz05
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8UNlfZA4m
earn but worthy to master that currently384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ9si4EtKr
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEoX0Wclsk
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrpIf9LbnY
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VYig06OAA
worshipped by some elder tribes in the384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbdTjJpwZ7
eastern depths of the world. Named after384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCQv0CAkTI
such divinity for it is a fire that does not384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e3aWAFgrM
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8fa2z0ZKP
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5b4kzir8e
Regardless, that red glowing stone was384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7n1NrsaYe
long ago recovered by a couple of young384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1zXXoROhE
adventurers and once it was confined to384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu4y7laByD

Hand once.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1BUPl9l5x
With his back turned to them but in384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89isyUG4UM
an inviting manner, as if he was almost384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevNITMsajj
waiting for them, as he too faces that384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrash9iCt5s
mountain. The fire on his sword burns384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHJpA8bapU
up one more time as if calling them once384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThzHD7Vhyt

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlyqRRZJG4
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Y9MFwrNn
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbF5m0kfW8
armed and ready.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jVtqtXarT
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtEg5ZmFkf
as the hooded figure gently turned around.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZYbEzlfNz
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOazDJ2zlR
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsM7FmFwNX
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pJ4WR3tEr
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhesGf84Tn0
approached the rest of them.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgn6dEDw4L
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87nMghRZ24
