Not really.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0xppSZvuZ
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAST5R7Ug83
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrau1ixB1OO
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeizRIIHb3
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKFeC6QDFY
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKxqE03x1g
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EEGSr7LDw
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd6xL9vMkf
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcI3mbvUXP
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTArryskMP
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB67eGFN8U
Acting on secrecy?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcynFJQeDW
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeJNVyIUfQ
addressing this.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdEl8hZsJA
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5HYQJcbKH
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOXIFg0Ct3
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RQrEryC6a
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIeoCTmtfR
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR4b4ijV50
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXEm7fJbmY
the reason somewhat.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyrSewbcHO
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q413xwaz8
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXnf62zS2f
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYrmPupIYU
surprised...”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mLYKCSSrf
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm232QmEgq
of his head.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSJ9l4gZlw
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8KhHK1HJn
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCLlTycEQv
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54XZsZ6bjx
as such.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBJhEAsGH2
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBUyS2iTLY
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws5H6oZnaD
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnT2xbTM1Q
Celle?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiS6pfMzuL
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVzPBsWAHE
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4AyizRzJ
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYOWNAO6Gu
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibHBBl4yD5
of few to keep the many safe.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD19W2XZlFw
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2EU0w8DIo
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7deLq9lVp
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHbaJYj3Sk
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcsULotpNo
“Now this should be something.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg09jYx2oK
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡentpYXmhVx
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJKFIqWVLT
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44a9gZXykj
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEh3nVvIdX
his majesty more often.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RS3aIYdx5
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNY8kf3bq5
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYuaznbqD5
farther away than the rest.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAnc9gBeqY
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OyGaJrvOS
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7WJ5UDdhR
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3B3LWtg7v
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwLdo5Tr1a
