A cloaked and quick shadow jumps279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOk60xlHxP
from a dark corner to another; seconds279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIGb0YyugY

fast, easily as fast as any of them...279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUoTpifZQN
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1zxCrF7ct
as he was the only one keeping his more279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN92uvjDSD
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtqEztoiL1
assumed a much more prepared stance.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieMlzE7BAX
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJBcOySZFr
his eyes travelled through that dark, while279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84DLEmKDpp
standing right next to him, Lorian already279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ925GGb1nct
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgdG5kTy0R
Marce did not even consider holding279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IDdZmNr3k
his blade once. A few more unsettling279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf3fTCJBAb
seconds of silence and then a rising flame279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdnKc6bJk1
would lure them into a more open area; it279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0vjVBgOOk
is a most familiar flame to some of them,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTP2D8KDPV
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykSFPbeOXJ
A peculiar flame, a different kind of279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6UTZc82ja
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0dg20XXGg
earn but worthy to master that currently279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWO9GZqBUm
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbhc3wPWAd
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESkIxOHviQ
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrfv5yPHaN
worshipped by some elder tribes in the279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBKHPajXbh
eastern depths of the world. Named after279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2uDtEnw4e
such divinity for it is a fire that does not279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdS3UdpU9G
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD71WXoadb
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMULZhDmFUa
Regardless, that red glowing stone was279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8l6xSneMx
long ago recovered by a couple of young279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9JNWQVXx9
adventurers and once it was confined to279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhtoJeygwv
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L3wfT3WVJ
wielder, after much hardship, to secure279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u9LMuGIdY
himself a great power. Now in front of279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7efZKcctT
them, waiting with his back turned, is said279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hnOz8ngPV
wielder, a large and familiar man to some279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxjhU7J77g
of them here, for his fire also served the279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa99vkolY4A
Hand once.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPYrTWQZFR
With his back turned to them but in279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPqoYu3Et6
an inviting manner, as if he was almost279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwldf3XVcjA
waiting for them, as he too faces that279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91TFcxfW7E
mountain. The fire on his sword burns279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GmH7xdWAX
up one more time as if calling them once279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteQ9DqfSoi
again...279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPmke6m8Cu
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwg7OphtO
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH170Vs816
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge05REVKuM
armed and ready.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHxr1iB2CM
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMELPzYlrOT
as the hooded figure gently turned around.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv7lekKyFW
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEWOrEztfp
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOQXR8Db7M
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFHqOtjp5x
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcJZcbliwu
approached the rest of them.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoy9uuBrwQ
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Az6meVIJ
