Not really.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAQqXGYcU2
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6dB9ei1XY
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0gn3qcEFY
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb75IoZDR5
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT7ZR5MOwS
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKvixVbpMa
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ4gaXwbRt
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU9Vf47whk
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBg8kSAfxz
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uREzcc2SX
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu1vOlcq6Y
Acting on secrecy?”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiXsBesW0I
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCPZ1DvaeV
addressing this.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjKuf7hoSq
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGuB1wG8Kg
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqQG00rgY8
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbWGvp7zN
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXe0TaBjvf
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZienPlN0o
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YDcaDEMRP
the reason somewhat.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD2zPYf96k
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8I0GqOFOR
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Jzt3RXNw
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrhzsseiRX
surprised...”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWAcJ5k0bo
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu4kGxHadz
of his head.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC19v0owXh
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAirr4GAhY
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIwvDAySOb
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm8YuoVQJj
as such.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLghYwFXYmr
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wl8DZ4zZL
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhp7sgGL58
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fJJZ7gbYZ
Celle?”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWGGMb6wEN
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnYquVlCSe
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnzt5RJMMz
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrPYXGlNMo
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlizIXhMLkN
of few to keep the many safe.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfqMfLKd6t
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeihAzcWrgt
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV4D9HXPhZ
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDqgOb25jK
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAByjB3YUq
“Now this should be something.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJrKiyuZNF
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEw7Fupe5K
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eo1k35IPa
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVeLo5GPGJ
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIyhFbiCfW
his majesty more often.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpnxK1Bhwy
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7uqyn164G
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzwIo7URa0
farther away than the rest.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdQ3lOxi9d
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEBiL9a7bL
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPH90XAuwd
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTN9nXpcLC
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RZu2mB07j
