Not really.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlMHmolr0t
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3laiwr5wNf
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhhTGuUuYU
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg2W3zoErS
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmSPy069qn
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0hfd5dUFB
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71O4k3gNit
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmblTogJuIO
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbfYQebdys
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeies9SIIAN
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kfFe9kxHd
Acting on secrecy?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJxzu6ROMg
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPCkvhWRIC
addressing this.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg3VaiY6bW
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd4UzfPiyv
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD5QnbDWNU
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Cc18o80y
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEL8j2rP1L
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsfCmurNFA
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS3GHHk15K
the reason somewhat.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx5J5hDFlb
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQoDibDrZm
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtyM2ckddr
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU8DZ21zJB
surprised...”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoTGsOBP1a
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRKABBVKqm
of his head.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uvhWhhOrE
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvuKsHtL3A
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRk95gv7yA
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWBYBuwvF5
as such.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbwV6tQzYN
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ26lRI9iy
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ntIHYNmJ9
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnfTAGCXsP
Celle?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5OaeSE0jX
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIDiBONpnj
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbraS7zJFeu
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfICk3XdwA7
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBdA0hY8xz
of few to keep the many safe.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj11UBe6XBZ
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7mWFKeSF9
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51uxa2AFGA
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81QcP1RZXs
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eeS8FsXi2
“Now this should be something.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCSWil0Rkr
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmcjiRBI5Q
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuq376VAsV
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnADuBTq3VW
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBlMQG9zaA
his majesty more often.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmAfYmPh7u
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuNITUoiI7
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsBE0XuZ3y
farther away than the rest.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7MPDOVikE
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvAEBvuQdd
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNLD4rdB2J
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dnXfazlPN
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo3gQ2BB90
