Not really.284Please respect copyright.PENANALjKeAdZBzj
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAD1YaMMXCwv
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was284Please respect copyright.PENANAAzNhkaDO8A
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...284Please respect copyright.PENANAGwQcDbtSo4
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAHhkr0SQUle
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of284Please respect copyright.PENANA1OMCopFAjz
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear284Please respect copyright.PENANAh1Q6KePk5y
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...284Please respect copyright.PENANA0nXQLExzvo
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are284Please respect copyright.PENANATr3aY8wy8K
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming284Please respect copyright.PENANAVBLFgAwtxM
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?284Please respect copyright.PENANA1lAUaV5o3K
Acting on secrecy?”284Please respect copyright.PENANApMjCuGLrhS
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without284Please respect copyright.PENANA0afKkv2G4S
addressing this.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAgRSPoABirM
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...284Please respect copyright.PENANAcnoqqQ3OaX
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking284Please respect copyright.PENANAJqSRRoyTos
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and284Please respect copyright.PENANA0hTuUa72d8
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here284Please respect copyright.PENANAlImypMsLkh
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this284Please respect copyright.PENANARo6SbLidyx
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand284Please respect copyright.PENANABc7FvRhH6e
the reason somewhat.”284Please respect copyright.PENANA6vaZUnhrEB
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes284Please respect copyright.PENANAMi1HcwZ2u0
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty284Please respect copyright.PENANAD7vZjJ2k7w
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that284Please respect copyright.PENANAih4QR15KfD
surprised...”284Please respect copyright.PENANACoZLRhC766
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back284Please respect copyright.PENANASrjU7TNVHu
of his head.284Please respect copyright.PENANAuUINWTAwVg
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the284Please respect copyright.PENANAXOiI7nFrW2
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to284Please respect copyright.PENANAdwNv5FgN5U
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated284Please respect copyright.PENANArCbkXGaT0W
as such.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAqA6NXhGxFZ
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.284Please respect copyright.PENANAVXqp22dtxj
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop284Please respect copyright.PENANA3GlAMLArXw
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest284Please respect copyright.PENANAoZWMLMLRIJ
Celle?”284Please respect copyright.PENANA5m4mTfHMmp
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance284Please respect copyright.PENANAd3clku2EDk
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those284Please respect copyright.PENANAsnE15U7Q1d
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition284Please respect copyright.PENANAXjls5i2nSs
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment284Please respect copyright.PENANA2EfVVn1kwR
of few to keep the many safe.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAzggSfj4QsJ
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks284Please respect copyright.PENANAAGUSdVTsbO
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,284Please respect copyright.PENANAZq2pZcKUNP
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns284Please respect copyright.PENANAjm4uzsBmKM
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.284Please respect copyright.PENANAKYp3rL4puq
“Now this should be something.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAzzHhbvjroJ
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”284Please respect copyright.PENANAODQdeIszz0
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to284Please respect copyright.PENANAFbq1XJjHiD
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already284Please respect copyright.PENANAQkwN567uua
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to284Please respect copyright.PENANACqAjh77nvW
his majesty more often.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAPns4XB9WX9
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,284Please respect copyright.PENANAYDbrc2ADwf
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly284Please respect copyright.PENANAfwT5BL8dqW
farther away than the rest.284Please respect copyright.PENANAQk4C6G3WJk
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes284Please respect copyright.PENANAIj4nhC3B1q
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.284Please respect copyright.PENANA6neNzwBoqt
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”284Please respect copyright.PENANAyetBCRyjCt
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”284Please respect copyright.PENANAhdd2cZxqQ5
