“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco674q31P8
I might not allow you to even finish it.”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNS03L2bxB
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYli2qNPUX
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK7KiYjPHQ
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKN6meNpxk
just this scene happening in front of him.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7XU9HPBxc
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmNKzyJEVW
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJTqXWZCmw
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NiBtwWHqM
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzk9CQA3Ij
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKO0iVWkBX
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVfJJXaDLM
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFAmlRuAS2
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YG1l7fQWc
tensions were rising...384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvpRnOGW49
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrut035hUQy
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjpQTZbUHG
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hfqJqdOLX
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj4nEAAGLl
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmfRqkdHBY
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPQPVht9Hy
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRozoW6P2na
him.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk84UaAUTTo
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcbFOouODB
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhzspJs3R3
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb8nOUmtJb
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9MYZ6ikCc
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRhjOoXAZz
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS66M5hqsF
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAq97cDjbI
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHLKHzogNR
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLygf9MPau
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHbcDFdkLl
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhEoG0bcVT
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi1e5eDBhH
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE8rbHiiF8
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyU2i9yRlK
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveRgzyS7vp
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdgOOzXm8Z
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNagTRnzPj8
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkBybirT93
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK4Is0Hif2
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cf8QUGddZ
you…”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsE7707yo4
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrTnqeHQgD
this was the moment they would all be referring to.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEl1uc1Rdr
“You jest?!” Celle asked.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkbpDBeM4M
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBKM8IkNgE
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ043RTXmMvx
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfbBIPJrV6
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnBi1Abprb
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS6S0QMkF5
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVji0p02LPA
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzSg9KIckV
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzv2UcEodN
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII5V2teVfF
“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 the384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqCzZuVMHS
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZrUSkv06b
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrN5QbSsxe
of the rest, they whispered to one another.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMiEH8GIf
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMBXRqeKIQ
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwMAxadMp5
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCStcJBLNB
“What? No...” she let out...
