“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0AGnowP8M
I might not allow you to even finish it.”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aNdJOgV6y
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk8L1BwSDk
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggsSQo9Wmu
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbINYS7J7oS
just this scene happening in front of him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSFgJdNN8n
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEESTLFuDv
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWvF6xfAtS
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nHgtZimD6
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz6NU0ceYL
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvq7aOsuee
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLMk7I701u
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKeHVbuDt6
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JRnNMGMou
tensions were rising...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrsVCwaOAy
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZpXzXrvHf
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPxa17sf1u
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrpIydeDWe
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTikYrjWSrP
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgguBSSZIw
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvSioXHZsW
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiZRJNXC75
him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO4PtTpSoY
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFqUukqyU
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu5Hr9blE5
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F5bjML46Y
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4seZreIQW
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcufnicPG
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nDwuaPt3x
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Njm2T8F2
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVYfI0nd9h
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67dYL2mZaT
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OsgAl82FN
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwgg5w5DUN
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDXpy9Akq3
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf0qvfssb0
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImYZ0WT4sA
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclMc0WEMuv
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9CMW0EuvV
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjXuipEzoz
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk9MUggQuM
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIFGvGDCo
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdbR8Pvo5k
you…”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ8WdjlsaK
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBCEWs0WPB
this was the moment they would all be referring to.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaKsbah6hX
“You jest?!” Celle asked.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUp8g5Kz2B
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIvMBvVUAf
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFG0UWiB4n
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboreBKcztW
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnZu61iFpA
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7rCnBw0le
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YSx8TOun9
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnsl8HU32f
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAONmDPBEod
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0YAJaGzZL
“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 the357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXY5hsTvBr
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNGfrboi1
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc8x2uP7PS
of the rest, they whispered to one another.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNCQvzwZwy
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuPgSorAjc
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeWv3pTULv
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGefPP0MJZp
“What? No...” she let out...
