Not really.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjtDzsM1DR
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtaissxE4t
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCIzqkDDtI
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IpuhSMqh0
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgfVPD82nt
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHsi4TUcuE
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEAApqZ8U8
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRdDodKIXV
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxiTudsL5U
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZX8SA0aiz
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTjYvj8fAF
Acting on secrecy?”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbETMqL5g08
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqHMbf7PKS
addressing this.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeNmYhdtok
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8M9WdwVMj
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tPZDeRmuS
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8aQymN7RD
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVOEJXbLt
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk8AdVAg94
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57aQTxuMh0
the reason somewhat.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32aX0osEnc
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIBNcoZrJd
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDYg9khruw
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOksGbRQlY4
surprised...”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCphjVOg7v
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgXoKEQH4Q
of his head.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEKIu2n9pu
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq3E5t7fKh
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lG4R5FpoK
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡricFMXYf6K
as such.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJibWjCKv8s
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52G7lSmR2t
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHXDOEJBFT
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTBvKaU6z0
Celle?”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidQLy20BZT
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm9GMau6Es
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXSoMyZWSb
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYF4z3p9cs
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS6n1MRU79
of few to keep the many safe.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitcGjk9v90
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXHwz598Jp
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUtF1Ix19w
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSlJUDmEE1
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5jKMbef8Z
“Now this should be something.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVz3hyWXwP
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Sp0fbmIc
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw3ToVijXK
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMNb5dsMqZ
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGzBFlqk50
his majesty more often.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN1wgS0lrT
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP9sIOvo5O
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4KWNjNOnr
farther away than the rest.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9l4mm6Rhe
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5CJxbeGbL
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA99mGpO5z
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgcsHrmMvP
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBywpaOGBc
