“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0llHz0PKj
I might not allow you to even finish it.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZWmdmhr6Z
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVeZ1yvIiL
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ76STlNDPD
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDgFAJnP70
just this scene happening in front of him.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTPa4WNNht
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTLSLB0SxQ
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXniWO2pQp
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloavE2D3Og
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6XMEHh8Ff
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9tH3CmZ2B
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqawciAxq
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3bcTGaurD
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYEQltTjON
tensions were rising...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecSg9CEapI
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QylsR7qUr
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmP5BoDdtq
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZokXptDvKL
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehvlPGGz4o
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxKenI9r9b
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfxu2eJPHK
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWieygdvUtl
him.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVCNyk4Zpk
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYU5itJg41
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DIq2QOH79
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcVtuvNYeF
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtcjjxxnDm
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49xY7Z0vVn
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14N9D10FxS
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbokkSZQ6V
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQwOXpqHgI
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wbaQ884TC
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6G8lTETq
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNAK8IdG7S
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAhjihke8c
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SjkKn0Zhs
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQpNGEvQe6
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQZ1zoNBCQ
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMU6XhzAGy
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSAzRKXuws
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj26UICByN
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7R2mpdfg7
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItREdR1wB0
you…”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS80iN78J7E
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sk5VnxOGS
this was the moment they would all be referring to.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLlVooyt0c
“You jest?!” Celle asked.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ofB72i8F
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl8GoAgMPg
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84WhmpqIzq
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmtdzHX4vu
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ip21GeFAW
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tJxuVTF3e
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeN81dkmVX
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7xTMPRbai
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjxxfs6avj
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY049vJvlh
“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 the401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU0kL2K76k
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuJHhfi2VV
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoU44wwUFW
of the rest, they whispered to one another.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNupitrOh6X
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6s2bd5Gd3
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wjHTemiHa
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3qZ8ZOEm0
“What? No...” she let out...
