“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW09m42hotq
I might not allow you to even finish it.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxvbt6j2FX
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7aMW9YsrN
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iKA9vXsVl
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW1OevpCx7
just this scene happening in front of him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE8FiyHb6w
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZRNu1IWZr
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnNpr8kJa1
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcoLgH8V0o
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPf2FiyY3X
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI7Ev9s9OS
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3EpaszenQ
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p0ygFNgLg
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwDSKVQqXN
tensions were rising...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f1dL3v6hZ
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQHSzYUCG
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszcV8bKUei
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m8JbYqRk2
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj94MjwF0Y
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV1OFsJRJn
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerr2ytBCfH
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaOevKLGUy
him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN84YTKX8t
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggtUIxGyS6
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8mSrHJ77l
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO6ima701e
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkWibhsSFJ
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcXwZJGZFC
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KFTTi55W9
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA1yWkK1dC
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEs2mQQEaH
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD1TdfVoBp
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hLprXMofK
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoJx2ih0JM
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi9gjvAYbz
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDWO2MMudR
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ56bXxbDum
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWZ6vyAZXN
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyAGuKj49d
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXU9uq0gzX
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchkytNOKh2
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PE1y7ynFx
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1RBLrQceK
you…”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFYgWPETkM
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43c36R8qrP
this was the moment they would all be referring to.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgctN69jqB
“You jest?!” Celle asked.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9bGlqcIYl
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGwvxWCvPs
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjpkmM2OYR
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOuFE2tnCm
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFsGV0jGYZ
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqemQor0tyl
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mp0A0Nhns
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1HBI5ca9e
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFHGALtlu3
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKo2SjHQbx
“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 the431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYkddbKrFM
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAywXpdTJj
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQc6H0Zgzr
of the rest, they whispered to one another.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbQJwTQVup
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A9cDUYhID
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ815cxQJuqi
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHmyXtuIcE
“What? No...” she let out...
