Not really.92Please respect copyright.PENANAfZy2EUqtmz
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”92Please respect copyright.PENANATC7ulPtZjY
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was92Please respect copyright.PENANAwhZYnptGvj
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...92Please respect copyright.PENANAwIm4GkErPT
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAD6CyOdWYNW
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of92Please respect copyright.PENANAwCp5jN6Fvo
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear92Please respect copyright.PENANAbefMLkIGqY
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...92Please respect copyright.PENANA5WoH4gmfL4
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are92Please respect copyright.PENANA8SuZCQ0mDi
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming92Please respect copyright.PENANAb6tZlv4Z9D
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?92Please respect copyright.PENANAkeocMtwAy5
Acting on secrecy?”92Please respect copyright.PENANAxEIOe6ztEh
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without92Please respect copyright.PENANAFvDsyDy2PN
addressing this.”92Please respect copyright.PENANABvAycNuGlj
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...92Please respect copyright.PENANAnJVHRVKXxF
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking92Please respect copyright.PENANASPbKKVrYmD
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and92Please respect copyright.PENANAO4KblyJcXI
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here92Please respect copyright.PENANADXODcPFT7s
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this92Please respect copyright.PENANAIhRtZRFlsx
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand92Please respect copyright.PENANAospFzcXs5e
the reason somewhat.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAC28mQ3fDzz
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes92Please respect copyright.PENANAde8VHM7YUe
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty92Please respect copyright.PENANA2G48D9Abw9
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that92Please respect copyright.PENANAXMThDQyaqV
surprised...”92Please respect copyright.PENANAd8VNhelhqF
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back92Please respect copyright.PENANAmPpZy8QQNV
of his head.92Please respect copyright.PENANAOQQXd0x39s
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the92Please respect copyright.PENANAKX4b2XJdD0
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to92Please respect copyright.PENANA8toBDb6ViX
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated92Please respect copyright.PENANAtHV9qu2FDd
as such.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAJkFyQSoI7k
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.92Please respect copyright.PENANAjSlqi3G95y
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop92Please respect copyright.PENANAXFhU4K9iJH
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest92Please respect copyright.PENANAZ36hlRP8Nv
Celle?”92Please respect copyright.PENANASYFstU0dKV
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance92Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ73k37vrc
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those92Please respect copyright.PENANAuwu5FQQyk5
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition92Please respect copyright.PENANAtsmhu7vGLI
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment92Please respect copyright.PENANAg0O2mM73V3
of few to keep the many safe.”92Please respect copyright.PENANA6wvHBoWptF
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks92Please respect copyright.PENANASoso80jILw
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,92Please respect copyright.PENANA6AZzwDL6f3
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns92Please respect copyright.PENANASFe5vNlxC5
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.92Please respect copyright.PENANADFoKMdXx5C
“Now this should be something.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAjzN34tz8qO
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”92Please respect copyright.PENANAXRuRNnDy8r
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to92Please respect copyright.PENANAnnMySSs3bQ
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already92Please respect copyright.PENANAqmSn9TLK5a
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to92Please respect copyright.PENANAa89yqw4utY
his majesty more often.”92Please respect copyright.PENANARdWRUBdNuM
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,92Please respect copyright.PENANAyNmi9ZBYdu
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly92Please respect copyright.PENANA2h2YQP7kUe
farther away than the rest.92Please respect copyright.PENANAdtnGYupnzS
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes92Please respect copyright.PENANAhx9fxQwQd4
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.92Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ciwjHJCs
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAV6qADNzo8M
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”92Please respect copyright.PENANATd5nZChCL9
