Not really.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAxGqEPN1Y
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSyJq1827y
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VA3YWxkz7
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3DFJnOodC
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNZV6NyZDy
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpeiOEqtKy
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvuKggs5Z
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxKpkQstKb
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJqzmtRVC9
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBylkOPEdM6
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWzBWkEtda
Acting on secrecy?”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2NPrRS77
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJzu9Gzlt3
addressing this.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Y0YIvbOD
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYhe4lYs2r
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVLC6Gdgcs
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2kJB9ACc1
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0qCYuOypP
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdL1LuLev7
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSpvcCRM79
the reason somewhat.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeasLAnPi1D
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdWpFHHVZm
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KaB5CDdS1
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArCEQm3mfI
surprised...”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPoo0LMnjY
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsC9vAK8ox
of his head.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytUNiQtzzd
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH2M7DUrs7
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUMmAtrFrm
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmLCuPqh8P
as such.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmoCfxmT2D
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGxwJ4im6G
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vUjgW45UL
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1E6gedNA2
Celle?”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNeOrCOSAH
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu4NjHU6YW
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6BqDb5xZ2
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr9kypsuWB
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjSTzZVME
of few to keep the many safe.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxd3oE9ZDb
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbSTvkGpo
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KU1r9cgdK
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH6srNzeiE
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u54j8dsLL
“Now this should be something.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnvGtHii8X
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G45mZWf6X
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU45bHjVdMT
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmolueHgR7t
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79uO3uIctr
his majesty more often.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQUjWkIIrx
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T5dhCegda
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2VhmfjcrA
farther away than the rest.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV0jiT4hq6
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRve1N8ZWNQ
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKAKjKaxY6
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduSr9GLXmI
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMnKOiIjIL
