Not really.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUj2idOtn7
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGlMHwiYZ0
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrucz9cIJrH
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGalTaEiYv
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvtoCaeNN
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcAIidVlTb
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNgVVcMVvn
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF0PdfF3s4
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbPE3BaVDy
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIuj7Nd7pz
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe51nVFxaU
Acting on secrecy?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfPofE2LJO
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK6oudHVys
addressing this.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6wRYxWcvg
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIUfNccXUW
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZVvLfVJ4R
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUxK8Iemj1
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNtUjpd3Dq
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eRFlpHttt
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuxQ90gFB3
the reason somewhat.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqo8enYSLv
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKhSe4GSxq
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyp5TO25KG
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy0j5dNOhq
surprised...”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1FB0EWoz
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vjFCkoeH
of his head.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rXl6XKgEq
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2dCaMJZRN
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQDmrw3KbT
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1spuKuLH2
as such.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgQRc9SUdZ
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAACSDr2WZM
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs4NPv4nIW
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7wfooSoPc
Celle?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkZs25TN08
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmKHiBx59s
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PbGPEx6tH
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJ36f9cRx
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrStSfTyrr
of few to keep the many safe.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ41fk1eJJv
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mXCtNMUA0
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwnU5KXotj
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgT4kHRH2q
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GyCeOsFv9
“Now this should be something.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1yyDIUVvm
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JMWx6Pk6t
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyubCmbJ6NB
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIG4EffMzl
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1eGvED0zA
his majesty more often.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LuUD9K2gs
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFVocTYHXk
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUvksi0DU3
farther away than the rest.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA4AVcKnYm
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY6pxvpdCW
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbpNNvmRcd
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks89O9uwGl
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJGqNVH6Xb
