“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5i8IVuqMZ
I might not allow you to even finish it.”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAkCixB5a8
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkfCSPMEZN
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0koQjLlnu
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnOgC96OjS
just this scene happening in front of him.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEyKWOjwbS
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8iUynRFm
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdBBdxuHSA
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuEyGtfXey
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqAs23dFFO
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVA6AJMOpv
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E9V0u5OEZ
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX3CMjZphP
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcARIHNEMJF
tensions were rising...422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rqJLCmvf
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzICpuzZE26
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN5BUWcXxd
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxTBcYgPGG
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBah5WQHmTT
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiMlH9oRp3
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi4FekxzyO
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXUdKa4qyG
him.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZY277nEIt
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQkCV6i8Ec
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpPO8xOV4
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrj8C2nygy
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy8XuIirfs
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S9UuZlMJY
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1M7UAR2Pv
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDryZW2wTxw
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueDY8zy80D
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWHeFT0vAT
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02lW9BUP6
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hF3Jrnhwh
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQMIJhXkz5
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX9y1kYqn5
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMbh6CkzsH
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOYaDOhuIR
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RZ1BDi2qs
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxHdO7eop
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMMO6Diftd
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3wOiT4fi
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBiR8xHNKA
you…”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfIHuTgzcl
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUzItrlJGX
this was the moment they would all be referring to.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmJ6L380yt
“You jest?!” Celle asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XgeEeoA93
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4xkFID1wd
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWTiIVE2TE
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmyJ0fhjiE
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ai44HdY3J
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQGRfPdxVA
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HH88zgwVO
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoWDrFueoQ
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pdaS8Nb7j
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgEEIzK3z9
“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 the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdo1mVR0B7
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53VVhfwERK
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFyie6vr7D
of the rest, they whispered to one another.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OsSZkv0pY
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcF4VlFnFi
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhJIv2zMQb
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaRBQjH9bI
“What? No...” she let out...
