“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS985JV45fE
I might not allow you to even finish it.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYlN15rViE
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMxrlz6K2b
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSQ7sLYi1a
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G6dCRGMH7
just this scene happening in front of him.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNTyhrimTk
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLITUCF8U4l
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZFsCCK1JQ
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqzxYZyBNs
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfmZfY7Uxl
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA89xOsnh7A
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OZvFB2PVm
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEHgecaNfz
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTdLB4m3lA
tensions were rising...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8rIuEAAbS
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ZJQOlPiy
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlnbjcEgqs
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rrwqXSBJU
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ej5VLbWU0
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ZF4Y6mbs
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMzNwYkFFg
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtLiQjwA5v
him.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIlggFHCgV
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9DE5EqNhS
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOCnsYBsXm
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrmoY7DgMp
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMz7YAxbDE
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdeEAfApj5
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6uEDbHNpU
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxPet1Iypn
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7dfSkZhcm
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxw12nrTD7
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgI2JwoXFn
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc8oTESGGh
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U27iRefyX
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFeoepQQix
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zIChf08a6
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0MZj22JX2
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXvsl32QtY
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eQHe1h6Kr
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWIPZ8018
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ990A9wacwU
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnIJxKMFwy
you…”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuIRE3h54u
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gXXuBDYza
this was the moment they would all be referring to.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JzbgWHP1K
“You jest?!” Celle asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BiVLSl85M
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOyT5qlU6t
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJYTHjGYU2
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ZqLczZZz
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfPFP32GAP
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZkVt6tnzw
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ccmx34lYj
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZY4PezvP
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V4aKoMUfr
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50xLxFsa8G
“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 the349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCkMiyHcj0
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxcaNpBLwW
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VUsKLspD7
of the rest, they whispered to one another.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJO8UWKMFU
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwxbhTiNEK
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvsrJBpfse
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOtXEI3IgL
“What? No...” she let out...
