Not really.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZXdRguldA
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuztXaD1QpO
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2DB3hIBEf
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEo2V6h25W
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTtjjzHDhh
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b8GnqNyP4
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7FMiA5q0
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1gcSiB6Yg
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnquKptA0
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsZVphfmMW
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NxGSWkuSJ
Acting on secrecy?”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1nQFYRDPo
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpIAJfJW68
addressing this.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaED18bNh7
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwypmRfFga
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVOpX4b6Y9
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j8m6JG3T6
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcqhlSixyj
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4L7vSD0UA
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yt8e2JNVC
the reason somewhat.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSyBogcGiG
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XITi4IyVN
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NNLbgAsA3
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKtf0WWI03
surprised...”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOUG5tgLNI
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7H7Df9Ogt
of his head.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MuPSpbg3U
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeamlSEUtkr
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DyLqORbUv
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpHhNpxUoE
as such.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRQCahVcMc
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18fesX8ov
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK3l9FeNZ6
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNwD7yRMjh
Celle?”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPUabHhck5
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkb5ISML9w
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vFTzVsBWv
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsTpBGBj0a
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAJIPrrWnm
of few to keep the many safe.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNgo2EUuhl
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlGO2gO8jm
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yCI86eL4A
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zE6S2S4bD
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUcbYocF5t
“Now this should be something.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHOSRCkxvx
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6OICv9xXH
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj6CUKekl2
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUzuU8zjsx
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZcfa7kDGR
his majesty more often.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcOW8wm9Vm
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRqqEYhKtE
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZTUUkjDY5
farther away than the rest.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbc9MRLzfd
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYIDMmxC3M
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bQ9AgMti4
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz3mK0MawD
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJOULa1Z82
