Not really.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGr8gXVd2H
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CFPwxuS8p
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVJS7S6OtV
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDKqk63USU
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ7jav5Wf6
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0KNhb9svE
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhzYPJYcfk
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYjExRQYOf
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0EYUB8C5u
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv47EPCZBo
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOrzCJs2RH
Acting on secrecy?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUayzh2jH9
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K6s133sPl
addressing this.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOCnlCkJ7E
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR80NDvlM9O
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO79Wh8GsO
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFjos6kZiS
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzDcyHXsjN
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0zzj9ANq3
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAH9nzRSUK
the reason somewhat.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0w7wxOHrd
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzny1N9tevF
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6vYxS50Pu
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNQmeWvllt
surprised...”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpgdSxUBNt
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjFuuseak0
of his head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd11TeV6UKV
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ469ChXWoxb
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w5WCmxS3k
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPQGktMss
as such.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaJD7qGvpf
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnarnWazpL
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY16te7ZUx
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5cWXDIX6i
Celle?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTLLNNuUT4
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10TRXZIlr1
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB7THCBIOf
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVzpVyi3iC
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagNcvwjzFi
of few to keep the many safe.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRuBLjY6EY
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdO3F20qam
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZqpYMcfkM
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiF4GDhzIc
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92LCZRWSWK
“Now this should be something.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxn0kCcvmg
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllvAVUAYAg
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4vnlHakLz
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOy2DP1xEp
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8uap2ywS
his majesty more often.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83m7UeJQ4k
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAor8LCMr4E
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkZMHg1263
farther away than the rest.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HWpcInUFa
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCP4NvStx0
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ygS4PBSp
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR1xb1zxcg
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIneqDJVPM
