“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik36Z3hWOT
I might not allow you to even finish it.”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4ZLN2mGs
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7pdaRQ4ZV
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGyEHq1Wq8
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLH9rb9sRt
just this scene happening in front of him.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkBxxTE5Y7
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeMdWGfPbo
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGGCBndbj9
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UeBdQnTOu
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDDMvYohcC
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfXTvZaj50
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8KKOXUyB9
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILIyZwnrPX
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0umZEEyLx
tensions were rising...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQzJ7we9pi
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2ZnAHYNO
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhmLgyHwOG
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T97ViD0x0
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsfgkD0WEN
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLOtRnYd4O
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5fiqQVVK3
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNaTClU0UW
him.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF1G2aOi0k
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCrTsMAiyt
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXid54BkpBb
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dcWNnrxLe
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz2xbGJm9y
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxTSaH9IpC
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmOuK8vmoj
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVqHtXXPmK
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Zfu0Dhru
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TIK1765cy
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRey95bhvt
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWCXJiD6pn
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NBO4K2Cgw
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXM571GaSz
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo0D0vQ3FP
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bUNUVDRwZ
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPRZkiWgES
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikJzLzupWS
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04oOipumOh
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhwCs9Q32b
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFjCRKrncY
you…”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFnf9Hnk4r
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ckVDCWTe
this was the moment they would all be referring to.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROkqPMJwpY
“You jest?!” Celle asked.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOgXTXeprf
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2sn0Z9ZeO
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VfXttevo
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw74Xb694zI
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VlMfUpS6
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjvK0qHMC8
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbUMIYAoai
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbKIhdIGC9
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NV11qZVLc
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYUHCYkEC2
“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 the301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZgeHtETqI
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXVSF4nXO0
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd5syPRs7l
of the rest, they whispered to one another.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpBW1qJhZF
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9KbohEOkz
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmg9s9PHh
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YXBHSBLUc
“What? No...” she let out...
