“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

earn but worthy to master that currently406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mi7rHrxVc

for it is named after some sort of ´deity´406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKKncPk0BW

such divinity for it is a fire that does not406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahvQlXPQ21

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

With his back turned to them but in406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BbbJ31HLa
an inviting manner, as if he was almost406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DXzhEo2JN

up one more time as if calling them once406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHJYJJEwcH

“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
