“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBRQep0nW
I might not allow you to even finish it.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiwZDUJ4re
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmsOLg5e8F
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ5knoAsqE
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0AyiFAa17
just this scene happening in front of him.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j8LIXW5a1
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81gHYGGrlr
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GCljoMeOG
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK1N3IIzGN
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpooZCRNOf
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfGF3Bi0s6
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UQypRGgCo
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ExOYcIU8
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwEbtnWmjj
tensions were rising...307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzipEjenOn5
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qrmRuyaw
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnVsYu7HgW
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmtNPkg7X1
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu7oqz7zEE
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTT6iRHVVL
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4BnFrh0X1
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwenl5ASAXk
him.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ahBwZveOr
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJomvRWtIn
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtNptVTsDL
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouLlqilZAI
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPncwRAo53
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy91fOmz00r
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpasyjtDgGp
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsTmgMZ7nR
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee3k7fwcs9
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXW0hXojEK
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaDiUJEiHA
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2VVeP9b8P
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh7ACOLoIw
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25duKddBE
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0mMVvTqCu
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb31S4ls2L
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNCSPgL05N
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPSU3h7CSw
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJckuDGJ8Vx
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5xYYMMsVG
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtml4eLBai
you…”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Eqr8rKLM
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbIM3zRyab
this was the moment they would all be referring to.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv91Nitcq2
“You jest?!” Celle asked.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhMsZRouUP
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZwJzCxooA
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHKBsbmSMA
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejZzVwBGZh
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu0QNuqZpy
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcZ6yuMYNK
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdu1VsxDWf
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP1HuWkcER
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFAICu9Gjb
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMOU1Aa6ci
“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 the307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYlk4bZNgS
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F4DzXXOvK
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh70AEco8k
of the rest, they whispered to one another.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp7vgTDR9m
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW4yBzAdwE
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjM5FANibc
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYykuMOWEW
“What? No...” she let out...
