from a dark corner to another; seconds391Please respect copyright.PENANA3PxSxdlWdB
pass and then there it is again, it is very391Please respect copyright.PENANAyvx22rVNoW
fast, easily as fast as any of them...391Please respect copyright.PENANAQohM3vayEo
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce391Please respect copyright.PENANAyHVn3uoaJ7
as he was the only one keeping his more391Please respect copyright.PENANAbi3zk6Ccj7
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly391Please respect copyright.PENANAPPnGcYjYPx
assumed a much more prepared stance.391Please respect copyright.PENANAyp2eAWCpew
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as391Please respect copyright.PENANAcI6wT8qKTl
his eyes travelled through that dark, while391Please respect copyright.PENANAIma4jLNARx
standing right next to him, Lorian already391Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4Qxj4Idup
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel391Please respect copyright.PENANAWotohCunVH
Marce did not even consider holding391Please respect copyright.PENANAgHLqwsZXqv
his blade once. A few more unsettling391Please respect copyright.PENANAK45Aqej4kA
seconds of silence and then a rising flame391Please respect copyright.PENANAS912LQFqgw
would lure them into a more open area; it391Please respect copyright.PENANAjT6o2aDVCU
is a most familiar flame to some of them,391Please respect copyright.PENANArX1saelqJG
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.391Please respect copyright.PENANA9eDNLlU4he
A peculiar flame, a different kind of391Please respect copyright.PENANAi3zkQJy1EX
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to391Please respect copyright.PENANAiTfLYoO3O5
earn but worthy to master that currently391Please respect copyright.PENANAFRgKUIx9hk
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar391Please respect copyright.PENANAEl8naNvwKe
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,391Please respect copyright.PENANAJMuHN7BOa5
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´391Please respect copyright.PENANAN1KwHM1MIJ
worshipped by some elder tribes in the391Please respect copyright.PENANAdy6BUipWGK
eastern depths of the world. Named after391Please respect copyright.PENANAaLBlvhspXq
such divinity for it is a fire that does not391Please respect copyright.PENANAP83egxiJPO
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.391Please respect copyright.PENANAo6g1dYULwe
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.391Please respect copyright.PENANAUXFMwxmsns
Regardless, that red glowing stone was391Please respect copyright.PENANADJMvpO9aoD
long ago recovered by a couple of young391Please respect copyright.PENANAXvDk2Ti71p
adventurers and once it was confined to391Please respect copyright.PENANAmidI6T4Hip
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its391Please respect copyright.PENANA26svq5YEzN
wielder, after much hardship, to secure391Please respect copyright.PENANA8wQGe69SXs
himself a great power. Now in front of391Please respect copyright.PENANApXq0qAjej4
them, waiting with his back turned, is said391Please respect copyright.PENANAIF7rNxQWlq
wielder, a large and familiar man to some391Please respect copyright.PENANADbLt0cK3Gx
of them here, for his fire also served the391Please respect copyright.PENANAJz8gTFxEb5
Hand once.391Please respect copyright.PENANA5kjfdb9vTJ
With his back turned to them but in391Please respect copyright.PENANASQj3EgLeCu
an inviting manner, as if he was almost391Please respect copyright.PENANAHy5tqVWIgN
waiting for them, as he too faces that391Please respect copyright.PENANAkbz3R0rqrw
mountain. The fire on his sword burns391Please respect copyright.PENANAa2ovCgFcMe
up one more time as if calling them once391Please respect copyright.PENANAaw7bKGULTN
again...391Please respect copyright.PENANAieW55T2wxR
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also391Please respect copyright.PENANAjIEzrXdPbx
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel391Please respect copyright.PENANApZunrfCzsp
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay391Please respect copyright.PENANAsqS1QoCuwV
armed and ready.391Please respect copyright.PENANAe8dWEbZdgO
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward391Please respect copyright.PENANAFJRVLNCnHO
as the hooded figure gently turned around.391Please respect copyright.PENANAlTVAbk6zG2
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took391Please respect copyright.PENANA2spuEsKVjT
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now391Please respect copyright.PENANARezKZVRCj9
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words391Please respect copyright.PENANAjnHsgQRfhF
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two391Please respect copyright.PENANAmaPB0VwOLS
approached the rest of them.391Please respect copyright.PENANAk7zdijoVSF
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.391Please respect copyright.PENANAQv9WfFfS4q
