“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wChfUpsHY
I might not allow you to even finish it.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoceAZiKy4N
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvp7gBbplY
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIUqisTDC
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkYzAtgEaB
just this scene happening in front of him.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVD0AJcyKA
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsoRixpYvT
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQaJZ8LzFk
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMDrUzTPOr
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMazR8wDE5
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrWDbipt6H
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtQAUoqP27
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vlIYxDwxq
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc82i7orwai
tensions were rising...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf2TnPQJhN
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g10HzYZ8c
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPXEkyfHBT
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifZiHVllk5
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTszfFqJk9
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5CTzYzCNn
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEunlhUkBjt
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXi4lMa0cY
him.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFYl2bR0r0
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNovz2AFw78
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj3tRaqnaN
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXreLRi32w5
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRDb3AgK6Y
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBt57IqSch
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrZLXg8SZO
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ7bGRYn77
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsSdffa9cx
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKJQ1vivi
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwpedYgY3r
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUr8gutrUS
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPVlsA8NG
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpQ7Iy5Zm6
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bOs8R0bjV
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26jdOwKXTS
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxezgmH3fh
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfhVvfzje8
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zJjvKJKxz
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0UGdJXpGA
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPPblIVbOG
you…”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1PEmFn0J8
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLmxL8XiOY
this was the moment they would all be referring to.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1IpRHJWcX
“You jest?!” Celle asked.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv25z0pMKjK
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh07KidXeo
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8H1WrDYCs
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgUg9qoluW
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklNJgKJt78
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QQdZ48Nsx
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB3b8ECVwY
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEJnfGbTCz
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5tiOCyZJ9
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpsXWDDtKC
“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 the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqKTywF0Bb
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2glGF4qIBy
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolMphtNA7N
of the rest, they whispered to one another.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqyCLlPBtW
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW5akrFAzA
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nSIGTJWA1
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e0E1Z1v9b
“What? No...” she let out...
