“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9HJfjB7Al
I might not allow you to even finish it.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q875OoBbK
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlV5HkXFsQ
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ovpjU1SB
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVxQDHNX7t
just this scene happening in front of him.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjsnLrNaFI
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZRPRy7Bdx
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTt5AGEG9N
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9h5aboq0d
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyeFzjHQK8
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBIdv9EMbc
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4M9O6kGmk
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWV4h2pKDo
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkvy5wmMLC
tensions were rising...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQLByAVBg
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcLwczjKZY
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpdk5T3tkC
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj5UytqeWP
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzByvA4gLJ6
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVXQfZeGsX
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt6AwJK2Du
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcHjwrQKJe
him.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMX8tHWUGM
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTr9EIADZ8
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nGkY3pwUK
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA5RYvFfEO
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwscbbls5b
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYH2lNLXu
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVdH3Ruc3e
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkarloatrD
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKHZLLkV9r
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc5zlUEmxf
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZv9FW5ZCK
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPWljfBLlg
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvVPBrlbT
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RdlJ2Ko71
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBPfoCI2ZU
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT9iw4yVe8
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk5NMl3z2b
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjwvEors98
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAaGhiOHGL
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlOjPgpqfV
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna3eYETUG7
you…”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFBdLefy8e
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDA8UyHNAU
this was the moment they would all be referring to.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNcqDytGVn
“You jest?!” Celle asked.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IgWHrWEK9
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNy1WvNDcr
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaLaIbm2DD
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKC0dcWk8
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYPI7DnaMm
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7fuZdBgvH
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn0nHYElKR
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0yKDk5vs1
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahIk4Fi9zn
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREpCDJ7r9q
“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 the346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPivZfyq0XG
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFgdladNl4
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIiUESPDSs
of the rest, they whispered to one another.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFLcW7pUJu
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqnHPD4Gid
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnCSvvjjm7
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o7JqTUqs6
“What? No...” she let out...
