fast, easily as fast as any of them...398Please respect copyright.PENANA8rCKOotXqr
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce398Please respect copyright.PENANAePjIUE3Yqc
as he was the only one keeping his more398Please respect copyright.PENANA0UQSrWujpu
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly398Please respect copyright.PENANASLFwFERG5e
assumed a much more prepared stance.398Please respect copyright.PENANAvPoG3oX1QJ
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as398Please respect copyright.PENANAFC0oLskcrl
his eyes travelled through that dark, while398Please respect copyright.PENANAiceBZNl6pN
standing right next to him, Lorian already398Please respect copyright.PENANApr0AqcvmUF
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel398Please respect copyright.PENANAyZrp1W0Iaw
Marce did not even consider holding398Please respect copyright.PENANAAuOXtEnRFR
his blade once. A few more unsettling398Please respect copyright.PENANAe1dJK0vibP
seconds of silence and then a rising flame398Please respect copyright.PENANAbeJVSKqUFR
would lure them into a more open area; it398Please respect copyright.PENANA3IkYwr7gYM
is a most familiar flame to some of them,398Please respect copyright.PENANA3eW1EuLacP
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.398Please respect copyright.PENANAg8LsexmCs3
A peculiar flame, a different kind of398Please respect copyright.PENANAIWpVKZ0UAA
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to398Please respect copyright.PENANAp5XfkBJLrz
earn but worthy to master that currently398Please respect copyright.PENANAKOx8zeMea8
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar398Please respect copyright.PENANAuNC15eVblo
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,398Please respect copyright.PENANAEqanOA93wE
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´398Please respect copyright.PENANAvE8WDp95TG
worshipped by some elder tribes in the398Please respect copyright.PENANAdXeD0X48ta
eastern depths of the world. Named after398Please respect copyright.PENANAd93dEwIlxO
such divinity for it is a fire that does not398Please respect copyright.PENANAuUmFIQs9WO
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.398Please respect copyright.PENANAU739xQvRIe
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.398Please respect copyright.PENANA9FqfqRiiqa
Regardless, that red glowing stone was398Please respect copyright.PENANA3ohZd24Eb8
long ago recovered by a couple of young398Please respect copyright.PENANAvkq77iLF8k
adventurers and once it was confined to398Please respect copyright.PENANAqlObZrW9R3

Hand once.398Please respect copyright.PENANAjqYkULmnGx
With his back turned to them but in398Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gy5HLvOT7
an inviting manner, as if he was almost398Please respect copyright.PENANAoqMDdm4xe1
waiting for them, as he too faces that398Please respect copyright.PENANASszWAfYQYi
mountain. The fire on his sword burns398Please respect copyright.PENANAhEkBF4L1oU
up one more time as if calling them once398Please respect copyright.PENANAix9r7tyuUr
again...398Please respect copyright.PENANAmcq8jWtZMl
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also398Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z4hd0t24u
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel398Please respect copyright.PENANAXlmJ8CQ0g9
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay398Please respect copyright.PENANArkdI7Y7BOZ
armed and ready.398Please respect copyright.PENANAtTFSdRE34J
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward398Please respect copyright.PENANAcklFKTteOm
as the hooded figure gently turned around.398Please respect copyright.PENANA9j3BeORwdY
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took398Please respect copyright.PENANAKAZGxpeMQd
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now398Please respect copyright.PENANAF9Pv69TpBF
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words398Please respect copyright.PENANANsmOEzQNPI
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two398Please respect copyright.PENANA1jZR3bsmi1
approached the rest of them.398Please respect copyright.PENANAh1abdOoFOy
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.398Please respect copyright.PENANANNyhLFPoJV
