Not really.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecwJiPOPpA
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZLyORRw63
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vNW6m2mvV
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4tvrTpTAt
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyFzn3dwxu
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h5dWvXzHn
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh38xmEYodn
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzsl9HJOdl
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf2Ww5f7Sp
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEOErX69O0
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98YTnDTSz1
Acting on secrecy?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFul8GhQFQJ
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2hF9lZBik
addressing this.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgp5o8XyNE
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L721MWMUv
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmujISyc2PR
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNwavPsMwI
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRe9gZKD6J
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAuGZkcd03
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrrrxRGeuf
the reason somewhat.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHYHyGaeLK
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2uIF9xJEK
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWFeUMp2Zr
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUgfqJTCoz
surprised...”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFnMmyhYR8
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsysvFJR4h
of his head.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2BS9aNeEE
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqid9zVagp
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDtBWJ1yEj
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdu2zgP9V
as such.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLswnyaeWW
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnxp2nwKjU
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUpAHzmUtp
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfriKUgS2Jq
Celle?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbUlSJ5Qgg
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQfXJXhTg
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g9LKYN8Pu
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg8EOXhFKS
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvihjzTziy
of few to keep the many safe.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQBeeOiDB
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNN0JhfZYS
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSsrGnkmwL
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlYgvsPcuE
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D9QgI1M9A
“Now this should be something.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDPWNnCq9W
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKieYIVRHaT
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd6V955l8n
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP3zugPEZJ
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYiKhxLpkP
his majesty more often.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL47rcoibP
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc1msqIVUI
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDpuAn6oks
farther away than the rest.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGVuCoTp6u
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvS6IQR9fH
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwkmghw4ub
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfrQBMpRWc
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyUKi5ALcp
