“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn1mBSyjGb
I might not allow you to even finish it.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5L6mqQZOC
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Pvh3G2tc
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQYhlPlNjP
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUzGPr35Iv
just this scene happening in front of him.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs388XzBnI
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF6BlhL3A2
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1NT0eSTk
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg71p6D2zSm
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFJvOtupAT
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTfbCJSkkJ
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4MqXhxYKa
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTgF5bPOW9
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK2iRfdSd4
tensions were rising...406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYywiDcGyMw
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhMaQXo0Nx
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ZL3j5VDV
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8miaFpLj06
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2rUJLI4CT
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVth01uyGIR
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNw3vyPwe
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYJhH5HRgk
him.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oRpM4O1rw
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbNNAiqlP0
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqaHOTXYsp
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmemGCpfUO
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfmwAmCqG5
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkwC13Shve
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXABrScFDQH
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm6D9J3rAg
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSnDuGKC9d
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThlcIpS9AR
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5dspzA9Mt
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsbFpbtStO
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW0n8DbBnx
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLpOeKGLeW
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL7TBGBUwY
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6FwjxAqk5
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2HUV1DSye
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLI0Y5TKj2
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhyDFBHdqP
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIGfK2oGGy
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2hmkQPRnL
you…”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXM2iyOtZw
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrY9xbvn7y
this was the moment they would all be referring to.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx1mv3VmHQ
“You jest?!” Celle asked.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVou3xyndd
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDNZDJ9yeP
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3MJq3BXtJ
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD0Jz8WnIY
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHhtflDQmD
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsdMkk7e90
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm6kg9gp7f
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7hh3fmjGS
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLxh1WRLAY
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVfIX1ipbc
“If that is what it takes.” Red replied, “I cannot afford to miss this chance.”
Dhanel Marce listened as he had never listened before, for this decision and the406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSvwV58WQB
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw4acc2Cxh
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdylObHNUCE
of the rest, they whispered to one another.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVRnGSi2dX
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQTT8Y7F4y
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm3w4S0vos
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN2LMoRley
“What? No...” she let out...
