from a dark corner to another; seconds406Please respect copyright.PENANAaWkDnfMKaN

fast, easily as fast as any of them...406Please respect copyright.PENANAW5hmtzL4fL
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce406Please respect copyright.PENANAYVmqfgkwlF
as he was the only one keeping his more406Please respect copyright.PENANAZtJ1KokDAM
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly406Please respect copyright.PENANAhcWsVCmh6u
assumed a much more prepared stance.406Please respect copyright.PENANAP9RLqju6eQ
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as406Please respect copyright.PENANAC7ihLC5tGc
his eyes travelled through that dark, while406Please respect copyright.PENANAxyPgEX8j05
standing right next to him, Lorian already406Please respect copyright.PENANAq6cLjBmMXN
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel406Please respect copyright.PENANATltr5gBQWO
Marce did not even consider holding406Please respect copyright.PENANAvCi7oG7npo
his blade once. A few more unsettling406Please respect copyright.PENANAUepCnpHADZ
seconds of silence and then a rising flame406Please respect copyright.PENANAvO5j15QdOq
would lure them into a more open area; it406Please respect copyright.PENANANQeLZ5EeqO
is a most familiar flame to some of them,406Please respect copyright.PENANA1kmnZdkS92
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.406Please respect copyright.PENANA8notHAmqmP
A peculiar flame, a different kind of406Please respect copyright.PENANA7xluI6ut9C
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to406Please respect copyright.PENANAzlHRWkWcu2
earn but worthy to master that currently406Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mi7rHrxVc
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar406Please respect copyright.PENANAd6qdXn1G2k
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,406Please respect copyright.PENANAL7AbV7xRio
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´406Please respect copyright.PENANAEKKncPk0BW
worshipped by some elder tribes in the406Please respect copyright.PENANAbzLa6iykaS
eastern depths of the world. Named after406Please respect copyright.PENANAWqnNWgtMQx
such divinity for it is a fire that does not406Please respect copyright.PENANAahvQlXPQ21
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.406Please respect copyright.PENANAd2VDoajdY9
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.406Please respect copyright.PENANAWZWBhM3TmS
Regardless, that red glowing stone was406Please respect copyright.PENANAaRYO4yKabK
long ago recovered by a couple of young406Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ7mhd1c2i
adventurers and once it was confined to406Please respect copyright.PENANAvuIUJaxgI9
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its406Please respect copyright.PENANAC0v4HTtvBt
wielder, after much hardship, to secure406Please respect copyright.PENANAOFUwE2vDmX
himself a great power. Now in front of406Please respect copyright.PENANAIYiOTrTTBp
them, waiting with his back turned, is said406Please respect copyright.PENANAjMzpewGW7L
wielder, a large and familiar man to some406Please respect copyright.PENANAbeqvSl7XvV
of them here, for his fire also served the406Please respect copyright.PENANAHiqI0rlcrN
Hand once.406Please respect copyright.PENANAbqreO0lyLj
With his back turned to them but in406Please respect copyright.PENANA6BbbJ31HLa
an inviting manner, as if he was almost406Please respect copyright.PENANA4DXzhEo2JN
waiting for them, as he too faces that406Please respect copyright.PENANA80cCBrduTv
mountain. The fire on his sword burns406Please respect copyright.PENANA41367STxTf
up one more time as if calling them once406Please respect copyright.PENANAiHJYJJEwcH
again...406Please respect copyright.PENANAxRcv3oerGO
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also406Please respect copyright.PENANAG4ktKxh3Gr
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel406Please respect copyright.PENANAKgGFLIt53p
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay406Please respect copyright.PENANAe6ndxitGQX
armed and ready.406Please respect copyright.PENANA5sKFhIu6Jk
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward406Please respect copyright.PENANA1iL7hkltD3
as the hooded figure gently turned around.406Please respect copyright.PENANA4zbYYy3i8A
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took406Please respect copyright.PENANAoe3htLj3BR
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now406Please respect copyright.PENANAPUR8wQCDij
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words406Please respect copyright.PENANABYUvQFhvLZ
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two406Please respect copyright.PENANAd7USWSPab1
approached the rest of them.406Please respect copyright.PENANAKjRNh46guL
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.406Please respect copyright.PENANAuVrwtpUiCz
