“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyag0T8Dpm
I might not allow you to even finish it.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc7zQh2TzZ
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6h2UyjrR0
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XFh0QEsEf
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBowBjTVHMy
just this scene happening in front of him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCq8X4ITfj
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV9fXgj7sk
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZp8DX1w7j
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TcXUKL6k9
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YSu0YGsTx
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWYxlUnAQc
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObpwpBRH7M
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0agTUihpKT
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTwFn9Juk1
tensions were rising...404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmmD6XtaoR
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBSUo4sQ5V
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xxjqkga6i
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gb5ndRdo5
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ577IKHZSUs
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpvWOkC3Lp
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtSX4IpGFM
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBLUjVYNKP
him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25jKbhPxc
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuXHSU29DO
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUOWgmikFF
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQFz0mRuSL
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8oIFhKsHP
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0D95szx4A
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ngtRU0Ff
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoKqcf9b4e
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6czWyn7b3n
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzjhlxFgFD
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVTwCeuGtH
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGHfatCSgy
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVjjxBszc8
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDkqkuc8Ue
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kWgOOUOAn
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqDikjaQ0Q
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5mN8VDFWl
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtcasC1eYP
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjAAfgRPLU
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9o0aqxK4s
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYjehZrpUB
you…”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vVjzz8XHp
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4YD1wstbf
this was the moment they would all be referring to.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDZfVDfhpe
“You jest?!” Celle asked.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis3lbMMynQ
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiruU8dFJRh
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPhyX3HXFj
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57WJ1nINmz
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2uSq54MSa
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDIAP3raK0
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4LnTp62d3
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEyWiVnh6b
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRqe3QpR0f
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJztYnX4L5f
“If that is what it takes.” Red replied, “I cannot afford to miss this chance.”
Dhanel Marce listened as he had never listened before, for this decision and the404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC3Fv0c0US
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCoFwWKaox
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRKNAb1cEA
of the rest, they whispered to one another.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rsW6FvrVM
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT5TXpX11Z
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0mMGFXYll
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0gRo8eK57
“What? No...” she let out...
