“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcv9kaxFMc
I might not allow you to even finish it.”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW93YiGICi4
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ktUFxyo3
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWVfhG03r
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kQV9KoMic
just this scene happening in front of him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqzjvnv4nX
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA8DRNswmK
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xx5V2hvM1
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqmsC5LRcx
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy6S8jgiPx
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkC1vAJZkj
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0boOiRe9ul
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIJ889M0xh
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkF31DeZFQ
tensions were rising...424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSQlnJZxMS
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJVKDYQUaS
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSyw3hL8Vq
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkLPusHJDN
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT4xSFQ8HW
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD4jWI3oZk
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTIZxHGVAT
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6mdxPRMhk
him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP2JWREPb0
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0twyeIBdZ
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MhPfUIK73
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF91cfBTBv0
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRMbdBTEyN
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPObTSOIPlz
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94NgFmOlx8
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdKcvUYDEM
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaT7Hsjmx6
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T04pPSAzE
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBS3vQKlYq
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh5rheGU6z
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz3zuhDfEM
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGWEW8XDWH
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkDK9HLwcp
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoquh8I8YL4
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3BnQL9EBw
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJhQOWWMR
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmltAvqIFq
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPGGnXl1XJ
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJFFAtUfRJ
you…”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXZNIeiucb
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk9Y8HWaFy
this was the moment they would all be referring to.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ezvtGxnE7
“You jest?!” Celle asked.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdPjWkJPxQ
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5454tSPB0
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHE71gLmrt
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAsmlsA8nP
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEBxqrv7PO
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuMC6UWxqW
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fCO1rt5DU
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK77uegdGZn
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG7PyKPR3Y
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboZ7XOhNo8
“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 the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRyyTV48V
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIbsfe3r0Q
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEy0CzrRs4
of the rest, they whispered to one another.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzL7pqcQbQ
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kAReNHi7U
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCC8D2moTS
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIJCIUbcbD
“What? No...” she let out...
