Not really.313Please respect copyright.PENANAilQGLNnsp0
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAg7cxiMIPlg
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was313Please respect copyright.PENANAGXyJRrpjK7
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...313Please respect copyright.PENANA0szfzjwONg
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAM8T8pxG2tI
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of313Please respect copyright.PENANA579xeX53Un
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear313Please respect copyright.PENANAAVJKgUWYrC
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...313Please respect copyright.PENANARRaf0mKNJq
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are313Please respect copyright.PENANAcUim8C8Ysw
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming313Please respect copyright.PENANA9kyCn7W4gN
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?313Please respect copyright.PENANAC8Fr9giKJi
Acting on secrecy?”313Please respect copyright.PENANAqj5ujiWZvs
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without313Please respect copyright.PENANA832tB2JZgk
addressing this.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAO58gDTJluu
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...313Please respect copyright.PENANASPj4JJK6a2
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking313Please respect copyright.PENANA8Khj8xHNWT
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and313Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xxy5inHsi
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here313Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3419ZVxBj
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this313Please respect copyright.PENANA95M19E3ZsQ
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand313Please respect copyright.PENANAPulq8MTt7k
the reason somewhat.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAs2BtEa1Kx7
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes313Please respect copyright.PENANAiH62BPOVLW
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty313Please respect copyright.PENANAotA4gV8aYY
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that313Please respect copyright.PENANATHLQ38SY0M
surprised...”313Please respect copyright.PENANAVI1lARqKMq
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back313Please respect copyright.PENANAIA3fWzpprU
of his head.313Please respect copyright.PENANAlYK8MpiVT7
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the313Please respect copyright.PENANAoCSa3EtKKs
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to313Please respect copyright.PENANA5pj2OpRYFW
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated313Please respect copyright.PENANA0BJ9xKGJaq
as such.”313Please respect copyright.PENANArli3R7VDno
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.313Please respect copyright.PENANA8cohhX7zDH
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop313Please respect copyright.PENANA70QQM2PHHs
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest313Please respect copyright.PENANAw5OlkgjBhb
Celle?”313Please respect copyright.PENANACtvfTXhyNQ
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance313Please respect copyright.PENANAFyqsb38e5d
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those313Please respect copyright.PENANAsWax3iyfXV
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition313Please respect copyright.PENANAS2eLaTATlU
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment313Please respect copyright.PENANAd7LsGRDQGL
of few to keep the many safe.”313Please respect copyright.PENANA7OSVsBbbRZ
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks313Please respect copyright.PENANAcm3YvuTkck
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,313Please respect copyright.PENANA4bUHpcxNoJ
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns313Please respect copyright.PENANA2vCxA1Uybg
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.313Please respect copyright.PENANA37hIC4uGnk
“Now this should be something.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Wo68HUix
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”313Please respect copyright.PENANASsZrc4ejcS
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to313Please respect copyright.PENANAEUE6nHJ788
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already313Please respect copyright.PENANAUc3KCBdd6a
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to313Please respect copyright.PENANARoSwa4h3vU
his majesty more often.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAlJgmAyQUtr
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,313Please respect copyright.PENANAvfPpciIfRv
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly313Please respect copyright.PENANASgBg6mVd2a
farther away than the rest.313Please respect copyright.PENANAikrsd3ITx7
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes313Please respect copyright.PENANAL30P6ZQJfA
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.313Please respect copyright.PENANAYKeiocHvlg
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAPP7uwFtl9o
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”313Please respect copyright.PENANAZNiPKGR7sd
