“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for142Please respect copyright.PENANAxbNMYrjJYa
I might not allow you to even finish it.”142Please respect copyright.PENANATdcfNtbSYK
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was142Please respect copyright.PENANA1BnKXMQEVg
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as142Please respect copyright.PENANAsqfQXUUks9
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than142Please respect copyright.PENANA4AQjsXsMfm
just this scene happening in front of him.142Please respect copyright.PENANAQIiQArSEbb
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”142Please respect copyright.PENANAeA3CDbosqi
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he142Please respect copyright.PENANAVzYyauoG0K
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was142Please respect copyright.PENANAnDqwNTQ7q9
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was142Please respect copyright.PENANAqVWUQYYIun
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and142Please respect copyright.PENANAbHX3aR1pkf
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed142Please respect copyright.PENANAahfQjdP1az
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from142Please respect copyright.PENANAHhAlgMMXt0
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the142Please respect copyright.PENANACwpogRuqMg
tensions were rising...142Please respect copyright.PENANAbxbfKiwiOS
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.142Please respect copyright.PENANAtymTIvazEV
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”142Please respect copyright.PENANAM5TFH3856K
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...142Please respect copyright.PENANAwG9aifNsVA
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”142Please respect copyright.PENANA8DXFUXk1n4
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce142Please respect copyright.PENANAhz6O7Zb8eF
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very142Please respect copyright.PENANAeJituYKcPI
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under142Please respect copyright.PENANAPQH44wVO4c
him.142Please respect copyright.PENANAktAY1RSFhd
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,142Please respect copyright.PENANAgVZ0fQfJj1
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.142Please respect copyright.PENANAlm9ZZyEgsE
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides142Please respect copyright.PENANAoT7cBtu2u4
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.142Please respect copyright.PENANARnnmTAUuwZ
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious142Please respect copyright.PENANAqqY2w4VL7A
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...142Please respect copyright.PENANArGLEE3pYha
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to142Please respect copyright.PENANAnC3FEF8p9r
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you142Please respect copyright.PENANADS1gQ5faGo
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware142Please respect copyright.PENANAHJn7Wure4o
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would142Please respect copyright.PENANApTV3EKYBEj
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,142Please respect copyright.PENANAHqPV8CZpPx
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.142Please respect copyright.PENANAYAybQxC3x2
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable142Please respect copyright.PENANAgJn1EW7484
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”142Please respect copyright.PENANA6h0ySwCgA7
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution142Please respect copyright.PENANAnebe3km6WO
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission142Please respect copyright.PENANAkbsmmz11SZ
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have142Please respect copyright.PENANA8oYASCvv7T
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”142Please respect copyright.PENANANUsFQPpF40
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would142Please respect copyright.PENANAq597kovPJA
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with142Please respect copyright.PENANAVBfcsJYkgv
you…”142Please respect copyright.PENANAgZPXyTYR64
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then142Please respect copyright.PENANALFucDK3fs0
this was the moment they would all be referring to.142Please respect copyright.PENANA2KFLyzE1OV
“You jest?!” Celle asked.142Please respect copyright.PENANArHHe9pBUXR
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what142Please respect copyright.PENANAhB5eFecB2s
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...142Please respect copyright.PENANAp43k8245i3
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew142Please respect copyright.PENANAkpQvCegstn
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe142Please respect copyright.PENANAQSUVhGq4ly
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.142Please respect copyright.PENANAJJfU0t0JyG
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming142Please respect copyright.PENANAFE2Mo3qCBU
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards142Please respect copyright.PENANA99Rk9ExpAx
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.142Please respect copyright.PENANA5bOJXxC5XS
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”142Please respect copyright.PENANArkyjKETnEz
“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 the142Please respect copyright.PENANAtYYNqdSo4F
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to142Please respect copyright.PENANAZ394JyYufE
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front142Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2OeO5m0DE
of the rest, they whispered to one another.142Please respect copyright.PENANAGIDFDaVJSp
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...142Please respect copyright.PENANA3rhjbNkPRj
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to142Please respect copyright.PENANAK0ihGsjbks
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...142Please respect copyright.PENANAHVEwiDzvzY
“What? No...” she let out...
