Not really.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpM3LtQET3
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudHicQiTx5
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSziCXCmOsc
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU7QuO6HOC
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwZ8VR23P9
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl20sOZmWxD
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP12xzsFCBo
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmdWBguEBP
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MhfSTwlqc
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w0OzLa2Sr
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKLm5ZsZRq
Acting on secrecy?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH5PJLmfCB
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAxUPmVc4i
addressing this.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZsuiBz8Kk
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614sMcwPMd
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFIafRUzz
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CbfIFHCxf
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9PGjkFyaI
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVxavtlt19
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pPDO9gD9C
the reason somewhat.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6q5oVZqY1
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Legry1kN
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQnpLkBsEP
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMogU2guzQy
surprised...”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3h4yBnPjS
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApVpIVan1E
of his head.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLBnSBAaHc
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpICRM29eI
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7PF0sLdch
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh5vLVrABQ
as such.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V9pJeEWeL
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuXgzyAtX3
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBe8XrxV0j
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm0sF65TlT
Celle?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZUhQpAFgZ
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVKjwoxRWZ
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkrWwcVXbW
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3j9aCgcNi
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZbB1FKu9b
of few to keep the many safe.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzDgEK1IT6
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313KNgvBt3
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPZVZ7NlNL
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzl9mo4H9l
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0pdWc4FGy
“Now this should be something.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSX5x0K7m7
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqw2qLErOK
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSrnuU1pdx
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa0cHZb3EJ
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuUADLJ5pU
his majesty more often.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupD0G6GHC0
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6LQ3TCbQl
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0lLjVC6Nk
farther away than the rest.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiucMxQSD9s
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal0b9qxLeI
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcBDzv2H2k
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeO96OButj
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP1XaszK54
