Not really.279Please respect copyright.PENANAGJy0COYCJI
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAPh0ipQo5AN
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was279Please respect copyright.PENANAx2fzpVbr0l
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...279Please respect copyright.PENANAVBb1HDVs3B
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAdYVwH2ij8f
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of279Please respect copyright.PENANAewizndgMgS
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear279Please respect copyright.PENANAxxQu6utE2d
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...279Please respect copyright.PENANADRX4FluLfc
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are279Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0voGyzyTy
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming279Please respect copyright.PENANAl7PlSKrRSF
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?279Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ7Miiudar
Acting on secrecy?”279Please respect copyright.PENANABz9PNAgej9
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without279Please respect copyright.PENANA2O6QnFol2F
addressing this.”279Please respect copyright.PENANArR9UvEzmZX
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...279Please respect copyright.PENANASIUSkKlyGP
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking279Please respect copyright.PENANALY7e6Ma2Au
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and279Please respect copyright.PENANAR3kg5Cm2Fe
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here279Please respect copyright.PENANAMKFHaCCGek
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this279Please respect copyright.PENANA1JOJ8RYgqp
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand279Please respect copyright.PENANAW8TH7PViqv
the reason somewhat.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAjlCDC2AzOj
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes279Please respect copyright.PENANALzD2scvbaZ
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty279Please respect copyright.PENANAHmBW5OiGbn
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that279Please respect copyright.PENANAGI2dfv7w1c
surprised...”279Please respect copyright.PENANAmK3e7wxoxn
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back279Please respect copyright.PENANALAVZKLcwXb
of his head.279Please respect copyright.PENANA1zBX5qrUG9
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the279Please respect copyright.PENANArO280XJZlK
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to279Please respect copyright.PENANAjg2bBtTdrF
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated279Please respect copyright.PENANAZLMGsToy8j
as such.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAlOd8Sba84K
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.279Please respect copyright.PENANAadrk3vfy3e
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop279Please respect copyright.PENANA0XJzbqfDXS
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest279Please respect copyright.PENANAV0feQSPMIY
Celle?”279Please respect copyright.PENANAt1nIiBuFMQ
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance279Please respect copyright.PENANA631J00Cysj
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those279Please respect copyright.PENANADUG5SKoUGk
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition279Please respect copyright.PENANAcMb72popxk
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment279Please respect copyright.PENANASWjFzUyBrM
of few to keep the many safe.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAGdmWXkZM54
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks279Please respect copyright.PENANASXvoSxlMDb
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,279Please respect copyright.PENANADUX1SBoQ4I
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns279Please respect copyright.PENANAVS2vAlUjBS
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.279Please respect copyright.PENANAsoQ7HA1Bvi
“Now this should be something.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAfYtwT454FN
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”279Please respect copyright.PENANA36HeKNnnE4
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to279Please respect copyright.PENANAX2zxyDmxGK
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already279Please respect copyright.PENANA8rVbfmPTjn
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to279Please respect copyright.PENANA1r3W0qGWza
his majesty more often.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAVCiNWgEY0a
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,279Please respect copyright.PENANAkKMZuE6Ljw
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly279Please respect copyright.PENANACJafc67bLV
farther away than the rest.279Please respect copyright.PENANAdzyHJ01t5f
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes279Please respect copyright.PENANAYNgseQ06cU
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.279Please respect copyright.PENANAD1guySouhq
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”279Please respect copyright.PENANA3ufSp3iFPo
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”279Please respect copyright.PENANAXJUNK3zdrO
