“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ZOWeYAEW
I might not allow you to even finish it.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9MaPB9tlZ
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82BlFF63Kx
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZzktj1kM6
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINr145V6Bc
just this scene happening in front of him.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmskAHrnaFS
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96JIZZtDuA
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYaAGt8Vrn
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIVfh6rwGJ
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2ManO3sqL
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmcYvDKAJH
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8I92XnM5d
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrWArB7pgS
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6dLGXe6lG
tensions were rising...348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaIjnjRgC3
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMLDaLjk7g
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBmCVwlf72
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYyCabiKyR
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUtx9bFZYk
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzXSfMra91
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zthBV12v1
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRU5p7siNR
him.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMbeYgbTrl
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh75YzEuXA
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjDEQ2HXnj
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRhXJJAagt
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQIiKN6oQa
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2LikIjdko
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lLMI2FuGv
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvzvXF4my
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22xJtC55FK
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI21cMAKonV
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMNz7S43x
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUVOn7yJmZ
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYty6FWHb6J
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7J56FWpu2
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Fcgy0VHO
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4skC8CjES
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uJEt87hr0
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjwOU0C4nE
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjYKtYqkvv
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sao6PQaGp
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6DYO2eMja
you…”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIUjmp3uaY
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYShLAOUgYz
this was the moment they would all be referring to.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4mcmZo3CA
“You jest?!” Celle asked.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiQ8w4nWd3
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSErjEK8k5
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTg47a8Mqq
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmFXF5K15g
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpci4rYrtf
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeAz3qXHAv
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoHjoYGv0r
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBKtX8Yggc
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGeesFkuyF
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvzr91VXyE
“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 the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjo07xsTmj
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiUAG60Xsm
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRkBvHugv8
of the rest, they whispered to one another.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYasi75GLOU
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpqDV9Jqit
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3aiDBfiNW
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC07t2sQJw
“What? No...” she let out...
