“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDcpcumnTK
I might not allow you to even finish it.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoqImb8VrB
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkk6PZfB3Z
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyAnVcBgal
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosk3iA57HW
just this scene happening in front of him.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlRsOkV6XD
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn3Z3UMTCl
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguTE1VLhmh
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxUhOdnfo3
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQAL2X1KSh
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTw2zeWdgJ
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfYB8t0OxN
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdud6CcyAA
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQaHkIsFED
tensions were rising...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4PB2iCQbc
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbrh6b4GtF
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtXGRsZ7NL
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOafDVlhI4h
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYURPq7VsfT
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNmwPRTiZa
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfn6W6wKEI
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjQkIUDVFJ
him.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjLZKtyeBE
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOYtzKPhnE
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARB65gRNym
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnqcsj23O3
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5LDM8LRu7
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93bcRn6UBI
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6npit2j7t
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1NwWlaYGk
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj0WumbJqN
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFNjd6s3yk
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLJEEL30Mb
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii5aRM5iCE
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW2Sc9eMJK
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPwQgxrZqH
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJP6vrIz9w
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi4EiyViM6
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0RT5jFOig
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlphmlSot0c
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusueLEWPUS
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs3XiMxXEm
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFESQRdQO8
you…”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K5zB0jniR
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetudEusVSf
this was the moment they would all be referring to.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStgFyDLFbu
“You jest?!” Celle asked.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EWcpwngtI
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav1liToIen
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuIizgQdJ1
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8x12GPwUq
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYDezOYiw
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonpZIwEsh9
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ235rwDrBjl
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09wjksKsPa
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CBh3iaf5z
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVaSZTBxbl
“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 the430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdsDhBXoEH
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIixlQVPleV
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlTcULw0wT
of the rest, they whispered to one another.430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqSO2E3KSd
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHER8ZAT2A
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1NEXesdYA
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYFMHjklcT
“What? No...” she let out...
