“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJxfPGA2Wh
I might not allow you to even finish it.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Ai2vUmc0
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D5IckSQI1
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NPQlAaO9V
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsJECul2tu
just this scene happening in front of him.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3i5b1HaXb
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDlG7yCVBd
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUAK44Ci6Q
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqOWIJojU4
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecEvHZBqev
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DnCT1FyTG
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEzJHx80jg
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOYLWHX0R
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQneTKttl6a
tensions were rising...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4zyyU7wH7
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9phoLJ58wB
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQRngNeXN
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DL1ASgzZK
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJfigXfUw
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLcN3HxWkJ
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ94JtuuITv
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhGSpT2JpY
him.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtgNOWsi4y
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NA4r1pHTd
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03R1EERKrd
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptrBdoP7WK
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2KE0Jb9Pb
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LCAas0zLc
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCcScsjH6e
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfa5xpJtaH
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DRDbLQyrm
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoTzDw5TSy
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0AlHld5kR
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmEHYPg1bn
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCqJcLDjC
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQ32uxw6T
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuRvuHaMxW
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEZYNL6U7b
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHtatsJ7oS
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiFihhVKM
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZqR74chL9
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaz6V6v53X
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW6T0iSs9s
you…”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpc3YbbaE
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOvqV4VQ1
this was the moment they would all be referring to.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ndHwPMHu
“You jest?!” Celle asked.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwZ5jauDje
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhsax0Yysm
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb7DhXlP7R
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHoNsKwEmS
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnssgHaEX28
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtObURnV3MD
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaqRnXj4jF
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7e8lhd3lW
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpguBqdFTTb
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s0dbUFeRz
“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 the328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBxVPuEIia
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qd0cnLkMX
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73HKSEyF92
of the rest, they whispered to one another.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubmvrNOOfS
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Sg34YVvb
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ561DS6XZeX
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkPPMkuADO
“What? No...” she let out...
