A cloaked and quick shadow jumps323Please respect copyright.PENANAY1BlTKmHGQ
from a dark corner to another; seconds323Please respect copyright.PENANAxiXZhz7RhY

fast, easily as fast as any of them...323Please respect copyright.PENANAFv6kA2uc36
“Could it be?” mumbled Dhanel Marce323Please respect copyright.PENANASrnTCpGNBS
as he was the only one keeping his more323Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ6u7gaoGc
relaxed approach, while the rest quickly323Please respect copyright.PENANAxSApdXMEzQ
assumed a much more prepared stance.323Please respect copyright.PENANAD3lNcr1C2e
Harigar Rhim drew his sword as fast as323Please respect copyright.PENANA1TGYqo1nHa
his eyes travelled through that dark, while323Please respect copyright.PENANA768awIhRei
standing right next to him, Lorian already323Please respect copyright.PENANAjVxLkxmIQK
had his weapon at the ready. Dhanel323Please respect copyright.PENANAZHQUaOZg0J
Marce did not even consider holding323Please respect copyright.PENANAVr5aR3EPfr
his blade once. A few more unsettling323Please respect copyright.PENANAH8sahcQyWY
seconds of silence and then a rising flame323Please respect copyright.PENANAz7F5JShv3V
would lure them into a more open area; it323Please respect copyright.PENANAaMwoQXUT1O
is a most familiar flame to some of them,323Please respect copyright.PENANAiqk0VIR0Am
even if it is one not seen in quite a while.323Please respect copyright.PENANAKzxMBWqrU8
A peculiar flame, a different kind of323Please respect copyright.PENANAOLvyn1ufHr
burn, an eternal fire that was hard to323Please respect copyright.PENANAu4BI2a6nFC
earn but worthy to master that currently323Please respect copyright.PENANAHr2fcRVkur
inhabits the shapes of an also familiar323Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZHqsPZALR
sword. It is known as the Malaguis Fire,323Please respect copyright.PENANARqRSmNoguq
for it is named after some sort of ´deity´323Please respect copyright.PENANAq7AWh12IhQ
worshipped by some elder tribes in the323Please respect copyright.PENANAz9WRQYZM8W
eastern depths of the world. Named after323Please respect copyright.PENANAVewj5Vd5QJ
such divinity for it is a fire that does not323Please respect copyright.PENANA6SGgUzIYRN
hurt its wielder and also never runs out.323Please respect copyright.PENANApV1RwaY4tY
Folklore maybe? Perhaps.323Please respect copyright.PENANARKtVvydr84
Regardless, that red glowing stone was323Please respect copyright.PENANAAt8MwJhliv
long ago recovered by a couple of young323Please respect copyright.PENANAhr1uKzjWqW
adventurers and once it was confined to323Please respect copyright.PENANAS0S74e3iTv
a blade of their choosing, it allowed its323Please respect copyright.PENANAO8poDbM0OO
wielder, after much hardship, to secure323Please respect copyright.PENANAzXEvhGMRW7
himself a great power. Now in front of323Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ3a4VJBXn

of them here, for his fire also served the323Please respect copyright.PENANAwmY2pAGGQl
Hand once.323Please respect copyright.PENANATAwRZSGLDG
With his back turned to them but in323Please respect copyright.PENANAa76zjksPcd
an inviting manner, as if he was almost323Please respect copyright.PENANAjYnAUbhM3D
waiting for them, as he too faces that323Please respect copyright.PENANA4LGeQTmlz2
mountain. The fire on his sword burns323Please respect copyright.PENANAFxh7EprKLs
up one more time as if calling them once323Please respect copyright.PENANARLcWDH0aMK
again...323Please respect copyright.PENANA7foj92bdQD
“Red...” said Deena as she slowly puts her weapon to rest. Harigar Rhim also323Please respect copyright.PENANAwIzcAxzTDF
sheathed his blade but the remaining two did not. Lorian looked back at Dhanel323Please respect copyright.PENANAcA20lWakes
Marce, and only after this one nodded did he do the same. Celle however would stay323Please respect copyright.PENANAcHqVEx1n5E
armed and ready.323Please respect copyright.PENANAY8sV4ItUMs
“Red…not entirely unexpected I suppose.” Dhanel Marce takes a few steps forward323Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPyUfCh6f
as the hooded figure gently turned around.323Please respect copyright.PENANABq6kxJgsi1
He is not wearing any mask. The fire he carries on his back diminished as he took323Please respect copyright.PENANAXsBtENLGQG
some steps towards them. Both men met halfway, under rain and lightning, and now323Please respect copyright.PENANABnkdy4jjwA
fire too; they stared at each other leaving the rest in quiet contemplation. Short words323Please respect copyright.PENANAUe1mLWSLGf
were exchanged between them that no one else was able to hear and after that, the two323Please respect copyright.PENANATSwWvffl4U
approached the rest of them.323Please respect copyright.PENANA5VI0hbL5YP
Greetings took place among the already familiar faces, but they were not overdone.323Please respect copyright.PENANAVpQAhJWmmu
