“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wW4N5bjfQ
I might not allow you to even finish it.”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngUTRIwtD
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmRZC0mKgL
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMp109POsD
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4tsMvPUsy
just this scene happening in front of him.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WTX2gn6M4
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmLWDoA47B
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlnVMJ1yRu
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfwDTJ2adj
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf8gaNitpi
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbCo53TS1n
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrCyf12Pz7
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsxEASxfbR
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZD8ddj4Db
tensions were rising...347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCVs20K4Xp
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SsNDsDpVv
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdBJvFNvHI
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2YpmkEyzg
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pSrmMrLzu
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWecnfC7Lz
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjhYqRA446
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmByMZtS1Z
him.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbWDoyZa6
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiTYyNWOUC
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAiWYgG1B3
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG4YF4Neha
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3BrrJyNCg
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa8kmcdLjY
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriE9NZS7dO
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiqWyCix3v
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUah3pEEogX
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL2pAdiMlD
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbMYIbK61W
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBKHBf58Iu
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhA51vxOpS
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQzI2XN8h7
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd49iQ5hL0s
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLnWDy50RP
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8awkb462YU
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQgwvQsiPQ
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGlnmce4J5
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRZh0mVCGJ
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c3x7SajRL
you…”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFec9LMEvG
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3ekCH5ZZI
this was the moment they would all be referring to.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikuKhrNZ2a
“You jest?!” Celle asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytc58uIIiv
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDa3PrYBKm
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlZomDA0zn
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7UQlhhWwQ
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECope0tZI
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyZC0QPgTY
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DRm5db0ky
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ42SVJJdVc
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM2qqCvOGn
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQitaIIMqH6
“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 the347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7piYU3ASm6
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmpGgzzR9g
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV71ibKkmx2
of the rest, they whispered to one another.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbCMLFcmbY
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyWGGbpnQN
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg1h4AmOLe
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHLDAdmshL
“What? No...” she let out...
