“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...
