Not really.368Please respect copyright.PENANAet5becqbUv
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”368Please respect copyright.PENANA2W3Ho1riqz
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was368Please respect copyright.PENANACsTFGmJzmd
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...368Please respect copyright.PENANAFHgiXvlnUd
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”368Please respect copyright.PENANAy4GhTMYHl3
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of368Please respect copyright.PENANA2NfzLrPhV0
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear368Please respect copyright.PENANAkPvf7xZwu1
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...368Please respect copyright.PENANAFVf8lqTKeL
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are368Please respect copyright.PENANAeIMXylYCyl
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming368Please respect copyright.PENANAyScPX2IUkO
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?368Please respect copyright.PENANAiHwsv4wJz2
Acting on secrecy?”368Please respect copyright.PENANA0o266IwZB7
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without368Please respect copyright.PENANAbSMDHM5Wd2
addressing this.”368Please respect copyright.PENANAe7eQI2xx2w
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...368Please respect copyright.PENANAYx0pKMsin1
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking368Please respect copyright.PENANAMOYN1kE0PS
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and368Please respect copyright.PENANAShR8AhfKna
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here368Please respect copyright.PENANAcbUv9c6MrP
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this368Please respect copyright.PENANACfjloTlRI5
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand368Please respect copyright.PENANA77Gt8AuQi8
the reason somewhat.”368Please respect copyright.PENANAzwRrkvNfMw
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes368Please respect copyright.PENANA18NeU7cx9d
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty368Please respect copyright.PENANAJRaXrwdwqg
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that368Please respect copyright.PENANAcnXc4xl6jk
surprised...”368Please respect copyright.PENANAtMLJiSW5Ng
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back368Please respect copyright.PENANAqNpafzA9lz
of his head.368Please respect copyright.PENANAgpuytS3oQr
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the368Please respect copyright.PENANAlgTRcpcdZ3
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to368Please respect copyright.PENANAiqf4kAq8Ep
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated368Please respect copyright.PENANAmI8trqOCMg
as such.”368Please respect copyright.PENANANJXVM94eTR
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.368Please respect copyright.PENANANGzTsljIxr
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop368Please respect copyright.PENANA5mGqbeN0c6
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest368Please respect copyright.PENANAT96Q5sbm6G
Celle?”368Please respect copyright.PENANANHY27A8kIp
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance368Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ9YB3fPOw
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those368Please respect copyright.PENANAUWil8Qbaps
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition368Please respect copyright.PENANAieqIVwXpA0
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment368Please respect copyright.PENANASBtHs1nzAQ
of few to keep the many safe.”368Please respect copyright.PENANAj1UG7TLeiE
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks368Please respect copyright.PENANAGQdOMXUBUg
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,368Please respect copyright.PENANAfiXsLsgtP4
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns368Please respect copyright.PENANA1xfzaJqOjP
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.368Please respect copyright.PENANA8NvHwJGo7F
“Now this should be something.”368Please respect copyright.PENANAa6z12gg3sU
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”368Please respect copyright.PENANAzwfhW9lye0
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to368Please respect copyright.PENANAsUzEbEbsRL
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already368Please respect copyright.PENANAiLd5uTX0Fh
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to368Please respect copyright.PENANAwpXnHe7i2K
his majesty more often.”368Please respect copyright.PENANAhCXW31HfMk
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,368Please respect copyright.PENANAks3T7gTBrw
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly368Please respect copyright.PENANAzRRgvBI6yp
farther away than the rest.368Please respect copyright.PENANA07I1b5zDgy
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes368Please respect copyright.PENANAZuOntsmvpT
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.368Please respect copyright.PENANAZhwOGrB73q
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”368Please respect copyright.PENANA3B3c6Sr7el
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”368Please respect copyright.PENANAlJy9Wfc7lb
