“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for423Please respect copyright.PENANAIceqZso4bb
I might not allow you to even finish it.”423Please respect copyright.PENANAbGfYytfoGY
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was423Please respect copyright.PENANAFseVxJ3WSh
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as423Please respect copyright.PENANAC4jxfDNShN
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than423Please respect copyright.PENANAw5tFgIpKF9
just this scene happening in front of him.423Please respect copyright.PENANAPORIykeCYt
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”423Please respect copyright.PENANAyaepdGFehb
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he423Please respect copyright.PENANAX6tPMHZ3YI
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was423Please respect copyright.PENANADyxJ35L3R0
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was423Please respect copyright.PENANA9BmvncPh2X
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and423Please respect copyright.PENANAG8XHfbgPaB
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed423Please respect copyright.PENANAzH8GE5P5hO
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from423Please respect copyright.PENANAiu7cOFn2uG
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the423Please respect copyright.PENANAuSwitpcTfM
tensions were rising...423Please respect copyright.PENANAvXU1SN1JA2
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.423Please respect copyright.PENANAaJZkhQIyQT
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”423Please respect copyright.PENANAEAXsN4vV1v
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...423Please respect copyright.PENANAKOtxqBfivS
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”423Please respect copyright.PENANAwshCKg3u9W
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce423Please respect copyright.PENANAv53nuTJRa2
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very423Please respect copyright.PENANAvlf5cYhTAo
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under423Please respect copyright.PENANASeS5LmN7Uw
him.423Please respect copyright.PENANARKJQppHQwa
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,423Please respect copyright.PENANAxzmWehpPJk
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.423Please respect copyright.PENANAuEooVNymbo
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides423Please respect copyright.PENANAlwPSNpy1kR
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.423Please respect copyright.PENANAC3qRHoM3wI
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious423Please respect copyright.PENANAKDufbN6Pwu
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...423Please respect copyright.PENANAfCkhkLTVdh
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to423Please respect copyright.PENANAtABGYfbILr
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you423Please respect copyright.PENANAiqh6oals6c
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware423Please respect copyright.PENANAb8a7bK65I6
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would423Please respect copyright.PENANANZ4mKkkbjh
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,423Please respect copyright.PENANA43Bk0wswgj
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.423Please respect copyright.PENANAz9QGIHZJfV
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable423Please respect copyright.PENANA4L8Sl6YXFY
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”423Please respect copyright.PENANAuJzYSv9HWt
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution423Please respect copyright.PENANAPrysBiRyvP
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission423Please respect copyright.PENANArYaqyoYBZJ
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have423Please respect copyright.PENANAvN8Dt8LHPC
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”423Please respect copyright.PENANAFRXOg66uG4
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would423Please respect copyright.PENANA68rpvhTBlB
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with423Please respect copyright.PENANATjFxprN7MG
you…”423Please respect copyright.PENANAIsNbQaxQqk
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then423Please respect copyright.PENANA9ypKlK7Cm2
this was the moment they would all be referring to.423Please respect copyright.PENANAmaYvk7kgZR
“You jest?!” Celle asked.423Please respect copyright.PENANAE4GkKfJVrW
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what423Please respect copyright.PENANANy3JGXYXJq
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...423Please respect copyright.PENANAh4iiqxKLr0
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew423Please respect copyright.PENANAybjiCSsZdP
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe423Please respect copyright.PENANAPjQKdqV3Dk
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.423Please respect copyright.PENANAtTbi0kGqEv
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming423Please respect copyright.PENANAKfiMQLDZnz
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards423Please respect copyright.PENANArOtttua8By
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.423Please respect copyright.PENANA2klai6lMH5
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”423Please respect copyright.PENANAmimCVy1Egt
“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 the423Please respect copyright.PENANAlTOJI8iena
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to423Please respect copyright.PENANAtVYZ0oPCtP
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front423Please respect copyright.PENANAfBjg7JVn7K
of the rest, they whispered to one another.423Please respect copyright.PENANAxynaRZT70Z
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...423Please respect copyright.PENANAIlQ6tpPy8R
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to423Please respect copyright.PENANAUwzqx8kSJS
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...423Please respect copyright.PENANAdP8HVHkWEJ
“What? No...” she let out...
