“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaIp4PtArJ
I might not allow you to even finish it.”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBiwABEWSs
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw0F3m1imt
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHaVe4Xu2P
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOwB01tThp
just this scene happening in front of him.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIZeOyLNwQ
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO95hXmOQvk
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax63FOwHnR
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNxXyrqG3s
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi46n6bVzs
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeGwljnr45
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9pciYuB9F
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lmiki336Q
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpnQ2RGf9V
tensions were rising...305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiZT0jaXLD
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMArScXgHLM
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXJd63k4cx
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA3iFM06ZX
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7fMEIDSIF
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYIl8VthIx
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEFA7kAEuA
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0T990Pu4L
him.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhghQl6GmJ9
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsrPJsNXao
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M4uxKNFf8
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTs3Y91Do3
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyj8CJ6qPs
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4mWkzKhx3
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInxXsGyEUx
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDBYAiCAeB
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL8vsQTqbl
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSnM4kvTbp
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe6P1taMrQ
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ToGXButDM
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrU7B0n7nd
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GW8eEnPo5
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS45GZsKbfx
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZlE9Y7UVj
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPqGjRaszM
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wI2234M5i
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6duGsSng6E
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cpC20MAnT
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt91o5bcxn
you…”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQL95OVXYW
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJ8Ilk66u
this was the moment they would all be referring to.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoPpWiPUGh
“You jest?!” Celle asked.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsgHcSYHJd
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYy969sYOZ
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiZID8R50S
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkvwLwjDiN
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTUxxJbtdb
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzYYDhblMU
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZPUvsrRbg
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgmNEWoxKa
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfRKfOVlQW
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthqvdd7AjK
“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 the305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1YDhf0tFp
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8zuNeXbax
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWgT8vyzqV
of the rest, they whispered to one another.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuNwNp1bwq
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEvDZ8blVe
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLnwXxruuH
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrKH0ODF4k
“What? No...” she let out...
