“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFYeH4KXYf
I might not allow you to even finish it.”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPS3mAtiZ3
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD92sERHiD8
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe8ZZUfrbk
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu6ZuG9APh
just this scene happening in front of him.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrfzoL9oBl
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75S3SCId1z
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCHzkwKhfA
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVtoduSRmX
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uR6RLlx69
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tI1cezl1
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZcWxG2QOu
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69MhvFRwN9
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ksTx15KGa
tensions were rising...326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGnn4GrjwO
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfb4DYNCmD
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnBFqD8EGh
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7dIcS4ERV
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44ASX9OttC
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Y8NrAaT0
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkB5AQMwVK
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTs3DSp3R
him.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfZXyzUGDj
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYm8cD19iD
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGHWGykwgK
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWyaubkW6L
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GLFTmDbS
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRCEzt8zhE
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgP0zPjfmy
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfb9Q21ME5
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaLlHtDd5g
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7iJHrAaIA
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi015iBKKC
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu74WOIOJN
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp9gi7vO0c
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHgNAXxLfV
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR7z7rGUy5
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J59e8c5Ut
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXGU3UY0PY
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvY3rBg98q
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT97F66dBl
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3YaJ3ODFk
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwSQCd86W
you…”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS6HaWlnrz
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMvMXesbhQ
this was the moment they would all be referring to.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dF74ZEyoT
“You jest?!” Celle asked.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rimbEjZen
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxeQYS5WB
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2K1ZEqovy
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sMGbkbx0Y
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhxi2zcKbU
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSKmazv8Jc
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCWJNVow94
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXWoRQ9wJ2
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdvLOZzIDQ
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvjrgWEEaT
“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 the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn21x1BWaE5
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3bOW76pNR
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgETFKA4sI
of the rest, they whispered to one another.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNljKd5SLRs
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Sz8MaM4S
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LpGqEMG2I
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ucUqdTVy
“What? No...” she let out...
