“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k2dTSqaVN
I might not allow you to even finish it.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCTNq1E9Kw
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57ZvUiEAd
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjkZweyK5D
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAunifckzl
just this scene happening in front of him.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mIHLzX4f8
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LJ8UhWuDO
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q1vCbTiPd
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvktmpoVXC
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbrnCSP6ep
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJSyeHTBt
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKDeHggh4J
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vAikBiS13
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwprhQIUMb6
tensions were rising...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWyETooMXI
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLy3t56m9
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfBlu1WLoB
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQMmR7icDG
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWWYB3GTxn
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC6klQwgsA
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe69m6tThdt
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TltZ5lq1D
him.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmNSLgOzon
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9U5Xt9hp7
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4O3MWBL2x
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYXDaaLEKN
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C17uRxuJR
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb9B8orLmi
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD14JxBS2lN
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcO532o55g
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiGXpo6JOX
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VaLzml8HG
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgVeQE8ZJd
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsk6PumNIR
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jVxDH6g77
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRpbmfYEZe
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx8qn036Bz
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9pCpzpHXS
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5dztFyl43
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jtC5Zf8Pj
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNGZwFbFGu
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOzwsRNsjR
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGkjxyzQYm
you…”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqxzxh1kzR
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFNPgjjOxp
this was the moment they would all be referring to.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeioFqgLWpc
“You jest?!” Celle asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwswLSoVJj
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKxPWAU1C4
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS7HcUqZmG
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRe7i5cA56
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixUmTQylDV
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW8nrQzgQF
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErYDOPOyJu
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97uS0CuCIB
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYK2o8jAsW
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObrSxH9N9x
“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 the342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGgstzFSVr
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17TzTOQNV5
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSMT1QAvpX
of the rest, they whispered to one another.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gXEKEuDuv
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt9SE0fa9x
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd9ENsutGz
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrypDj22Et
“What? No...” she let out...
