“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhv3YKmNiU
as he was the only one keeping his more330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Rd2q1lwU
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB9PEP5iNp
assumed a much more prepared stance.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCpeybdLQd
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRVPJKqRi8

standing right next to him, Lorian already330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNgyC1GloS

seconds of silence and then a rising flame330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CqyZzYwMh
would lure them into a more open area; it330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixeujIS7p
is a most familiar flame to some of them,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQwUV3HsF
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06WTQnjoBj
A peculiar flame, a different kind of330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7hCMjSn9X

Folklore maybe? Perhaps.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnoUZHCH4F
Regardless, that red glowing stone was330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsGjAoyLew

With his back turned to them but in330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pm2Pz0XHh

“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMJg3aUr6S
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDybdZfiEM
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJ2JVupTm
armed and ready.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljomHglbOK
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdNtEhUib1
as the hooded figure gently turned around.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJeuGCONhI
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQSHnNp2In
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMOJMotoPl
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmoBm9cC4F
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVr3RyHCXQ
approached the rest of them.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCRa0KwT9f
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeC3RtTKOA
