“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfPoez1B6P
I might not allow you to even finish it.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMjLRZTfD
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmigz0OhWB
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPbgnmzL47
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcdAwOUdfF
just this scene happening in front of him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2zZiRAenV
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0HMXQyy4L
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5rgeL2lB0
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw0mf8JoVf
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8z6duzLwp
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFbpxpi7ZT
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFFsczS3UO
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQauneMbnRu
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV8etQMVWa
tensions were rising...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbStb341ejg
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMLkzJr862
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrbBVRky8v
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iZwWmt104
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjvvfpslwR
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgs1d8cQG0
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxeAaQSnpe
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH7GreBBS4
him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ixuGqoT2
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf08oduxKIb
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGkDk7w67O
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoHs7C2H3f
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCpnogNHxf
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgEpdSpaBK
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEWbQR5syx
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODbG5AWEjq
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYnqkuEabi
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlQuRr3djJ
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKosX97q0ER
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLHaNEqWzI
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNrZkMAJcu
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEVEPCf1w9
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKudovLKRU
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh7UjRNeBR
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaTCqtPrNZ
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULYmbrBDAD
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlglCV1eLNW
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaDJtaAzVN
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvUh0XuUuj
you…”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2QJkH4Ez9
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUziXjLXZ6
this was the moment they would all be referring to.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJA8FQ9XnF
“You jest?!” Celle asked.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXyI3TlYtE
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd2Hrz4Ekl
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTtJ1LQQWS
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsYhrgQPii
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvHur11EWa
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA6wDUkXd0
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXCZ9UqXMW
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwySvMdzygy
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxXhi9lCA2
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XocKOafpx
“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 the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbCHyvvdtM
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh6wVSAx9L
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrReZFK1O7
of the rest, they whispered to one another.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OuZhimvk4
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw52dR4k2r
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjezICglmaO
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ4qPwnp6m
“What? No...” she let out...
