Not really.442Please respect copyright.PENANAHr5fWnI8qN
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”442Please respect copyright.PENANArlLWOEXKcU
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was442Please respect copyright.PENANAAScBU2j8sX
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...442Please respect copyright.PENANA8WfOn1kl1w
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”442Please respect copyright.PENANA4aGFacxr5W
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of442Please respect copyright.PENANARqYIuXU7aH
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear442Please respect copyright.PENANAIEnso4PWhW
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...442Please respect copyright.PENANANQpx5aYfAM
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are442Please respect copyright.PENANAbA1dKuZ2qm
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming442Please respect copyright.PENANAgKKuFhPwl2
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?442Please respect copyright.PENANAmspQG9tmeY
Acting on secrecy?”442Please respect copyright.PENANA4WETbWvDDe
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without442Please respect copyright.PENANAyVnbkZsx9W
addressing this.”442Please respect copyright.PENANATAgZQkZXO9
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...442Please respect copyright.PENANApwtJeZKsKD
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking442Please respect copyright.PENANAEeWpCu8uoe
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and442Please respect copyright.PENANA6jpAMuN1YG
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here442Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZWn41HAkw
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this442Please respect copyright.PENANAUy4WjjZ106
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand442Please respect copyright.PENANAhzqQxQxgyV
the reason somewhat.”442Please respect copyright.PENANAMyDifLjTI0
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes442Please respect copyright.PENANAo8o5A0qVo2
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty442Please respect copyright.PENANAXxuo12Gmpr
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that442Please respect copyright.PENANAMhY8TevjJN
surprised...”442Please respect copyright.PENANA0YWpmtbwc9
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back442Please respect copyright.PENANAhfF4UamzVd
of his head.442Please respect copyright.PENANAdyKjoniyu5
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the442Please respect copyright.PENANA3sHtLjIDfE
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to442Please respect copyright.PENANAA05aJaqglF
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated442Please respect copyright.PENANAEGmCWbOpXj
as such.”442Please respect copyright.PENANAO68VYJZwtu
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.442Please respect copyright.PENANA2IR0RDPadf
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop442Please respect copyright.PENANAg4iEsXhQpu
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest442Please respect copyright.PENANAGooP6podY7
Celle?”442Please respect copyright.PENANAN8nTiOApXN
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance442Please respect copyright.PENANA2x1a3GzWz7
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those442Please respect copyright.PENANAuSV7xzL7Tu
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition442Please respect copyright.PENANADX9jyNaeHG
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment442Please respect copyright.PENANApv1dHVrsNB
of few to keep the many safe.”442Please respect copyright.PENANA7HAst3pXUo
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks442Please respect copyright.PENANA0YJh5GL5yz
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,442Please respect copyright.PENANAMev9R6ddCf
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns442Please respect copyright.PENANALN2mBK1n4E
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.442Please respect copyright.PENANA2RiSJXw7Vv
“Now this should be something.”442Please respect copyright.PENANA7gGkLM8RBT
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”442Please respect copyright.PENANA25dp28AOck
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to442Please respect copyright.PENANAaVNXvZbIqE
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already442Please respect copyright.PENANAc50Uxosd62
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to442Please respect copyright.PENANAWFhQ96UIdC
his majesty more often.”442Please respect copyright.PENANAfdOIpOHMQF
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,442Please respect copyright.PENANALqre6HPyDe
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly442Please respect copyright.PENANAen2kanfRWh
farther away than the rest.442Please respect copyright.PENANAAKplGTfJAg
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes442Please respect copyright.PENANAUs2zMr65NG
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.442Please respect copyright.PENANA0OD0aSmMhw
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”442Please respect copyright.PENANA6119a1UgDc
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”442Please respect copyright.PENANAYijseZ4Tvb
