“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbl9jceGPF
I might not allow you to even finish it.”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpSZR9ZHKu
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYulDI5XzfA
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0cfyg4UiR
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNGB1PAssh
just this scene happening in front of him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCSz9FXtyQ
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGo1VTV5NA
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyqTOnWdVv
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqupp3FVvX
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkIbsYBDD
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOby7QMeFj3
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U5vYq45H2
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ihYBvBBUp
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK50HOiqrZ5
tensions were rising...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2l21IRMEO
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eVLeQ1QeA
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg1jQRTajm
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2GiU3qVEz
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gu8QlS9MX
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdheAA6jZeE
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQCWGX2x1w
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAx7h7FeWf
him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt7HyCDBCW
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFizeTLjnl
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQdwwER2q2
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnLbv6uSCH
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS1ilN5Icq
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXEKgLVJrW
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP0vKTYNzP
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffHa1rInp2
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj5O1FI2wj
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsb94JAbn4
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljhpjJ2qOT
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSAq6fFoDd
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWfaAPEGar
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZM3rCGXH0
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY76fz6htli
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CJUoqV8Dx
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYRrINuNAE
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLDs5iGu6X
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NMD3WEtR3
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0BeooNTd1
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVmRWYXj0G
you…”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOfeNOtsjs
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKHM1KCSEJ
this was the moment they would all be referring to.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBBcg1lHNP
“You jest?!” Celle asked.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8CntBe1zG
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhAOme6o3Z
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePBYi1RWfv
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW1wFE3cty
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIEqEfsT6M
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa35qm58I0
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT6FWgW8hF
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAY2f91qnu
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kgwguTfpy
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1B6WzBmt
“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 the433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIykD5dHe1i
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALYBLn2Hsi
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5IkCKIVQB
of the rest, they whispered to one another.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUYPkghek
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykGsJXLvdp
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoHgrsUCL6
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcGLbmmkhb
“What? No...” she let out...
