Not really.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9pJRgSeWI
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2cv2U7oOJ
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEO6JXQO7l
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1CRJzcOJb
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMUDrTc4Dh
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjqYOoclnw
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaqFcovrMI
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UctNo4u87
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjBmdyWlCs
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkVhr2KjRQ
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUtN69Btjx
Acting on secrecy?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlzNwKeMTA
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN6mOjF7CS
addressing this.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlFkxKstoQ
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVn5xxUXrz
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtauNFSdsp0
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmcg4UkdgY
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBbYXkOxo3
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgdTvkJrlF
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmXpxhyCx7
the reason somewhat.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tTLD0Ar0p
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUmeb5jmzr
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrBGHtqMCv
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5q6Jtu6jh
surprised...”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngXTpYkgy
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV9ir3KMYb
of his head.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL9Na4CxRw
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkE82dc15x
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpRXCedboV
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFm2QZ1dI3
as such.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7PTF1A0Da
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVUs9uWezX
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ugCYZOKQt
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY6V7Cjjzx
Celle?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBTz1aUgPL
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCcJezR1AO
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLqMCrINPl
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZKXEmXeJe
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5msB6YMsZA
of few to keep the many safe.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2u3ULWBBf
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AbjuRYd5U
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhL30ghfRh
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd6g7r29Ym
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4hGM25zgm
“Now this should be something.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UjrotSpSM
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8furzJCoyL
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cQbl67OGy
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMQKTpJ3iN
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtHIkfamhn
his majesty more often.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwAwWoyxj9
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuw46GUYm5
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtN1hYM337
farther away than the rest.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gcLZfqP8e
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XXdYc1B7o
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGdSG1cPY5
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3xYAKJdrO
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRs3Df9fjC
