Not really.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb4XEKOx3O
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgKBUAeXQZ
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjLNQfK3BR
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWx2uRcStA
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuurgG2FBi
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwT8VrpWZS
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQk5CApXRk
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUfuz682Gv
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5HoFwxMYy
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ZEzBGFYh
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5SmCFOAXt
Acting on secrecy?”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lMPyaHFql
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tb82rnkDV
addressing this.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQJ9mPE7PK
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWS8Axhvwd
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5yR2iMjTa
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVfgdnCr7j
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M83YHJ9wz
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9nPYf90Hf
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguBmhCM3MN
the reason somewhat.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOB96RPb3q
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIovI7rgulX
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgtuk6ueN
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU6O4sPMgV
surprised...”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKyIZd74jB
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCVFCjd9tH
of his head.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOikL6rIy8f
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79kZ95niGI
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9zQaB9WM5
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdcrpm3lpB
as such.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnjNswPDMb
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyi2uwoZIO
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v14OfJ37o
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYuEH8vXJG
Celle?”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89YOYhHT1p
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqFC511GIp
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwTDnjdFXF
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz12EJqfs2
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBIgueTpt2
of few to keep the many safe.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYbwULuIjC
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ynWN9dUQg
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqoJeAXFgU
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFACezqyXu
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLur7Ix1iXk
“Now this should be something.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNdL5k7Wqs
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXU2HHMzgz
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7w5dDzSUw
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MB7BpLu4t
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd4PAITFnR
his majesty more often.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvP4VqDcRe
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxErdJ453KI
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvztE8SeOQf
farther away than the rest.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDHeYOBu2H
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t5hH6jydD
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmGkHvcIav
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmNcxEACQi
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOg5g1i9kP
