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
