“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQCuhYWKJo
I might not allow you to even finish it.”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OU96YITyg
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6eGbq36V0
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3XmyykxWJ
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoGEAu9Avk
just this scene happening in front of him.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97HxzkgPbi
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KYu4hypHu
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYZlTdvxlw
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5pfpHmSdz
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdeaUtP77G
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAO1SMFqEK
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLaCltMap5
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrgWrMSWrX
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZxVBZgnj
tensions were rising...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPckNw98nx7
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4y2BvRMf
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04AE1qhcEL
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6D4UhEVe6
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ2roV1UNH
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO8QJvTSZI
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdsWMTctGp
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzTiAoVKOq
him.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatbTtiYN2w
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTirPPLAhU
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwiS46HWjs
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQSrjVMb7t
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXO9y3ADZ8
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVNE2Q4X2o
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl530J1ICWS
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKPJnfQfGU
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSDKhMuxja
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqRAiEDUJc
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs9qYaIIWb
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqLKfC864
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRoqxhJona
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02W0MMP5D4
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UBdexBd7z
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFpwQsK8L6
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JdQN06VdM
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKBnaL09d4
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLGzimjemK
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr4FgNUZZl
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uRdauMFfJ
you…”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWj7jtUhrd
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sRZCzsI1p
this was the moment they would all be referring to.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk7UitbGYS
“You jest?!” Celle asked.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6vet4hDEQ
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdBHgnmm79
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bcfXFPRfQ
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8syzQ7urZ
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14AHTwwFgo
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXY3IrEcQk
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx3DPaZRuR
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VJuVm7gdN
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWVtA5dF1w
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyFIBJEjmk
“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 the382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75fyk69Loe
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDOXMaiZhZ
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhxmfcpkVC
of the rest, they whispered to one another.382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8DeWFQ2Dz
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvW6hJWIK5
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlvG3OZIxT
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArxBePerbU
“What? No...” she let out...
