“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8SOuMD4K3
I might not allow you to even finish it.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkEDdEy7Z9
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o8imdQO8P
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ntQem9uP
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S60dDWXBw
just this scene happening in front of him.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lIMfhBLRz
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4B6oORyoj
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguOo1UHQ10
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7RnWJd2Ib
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLjG8eJvKa
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH87ehTyzLf
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2sseZbAc4
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUxbxrDoc
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPAPm4R5Nk
tensions were rising...237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaEeeH2BzU
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41XqGtrFuS
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYm968Cnnd
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2K0wHHg8j
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeabvqy597
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBpq5mcJJy
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOcZHCauLm
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETSxXpczf6
him.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwlMkhVM8T
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4S6L1uDy9
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG3bnFTmKd
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB26Vg35tb
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcIRzN4c5M
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50iErXx2er
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Tcm0Ow2s
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIGA44dBM1
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5Z6AKjl2
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxjbMyBjQn
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY7PCEZE5p
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuZdhvP1Rq
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKxaOiyptd
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LxjvM75xh
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAwpTSIIv
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22kbX1JDuo
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhmyLxHyqA
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5KlIroZqm
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtfWo8ERWV
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhkGVY4zf6
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP8zm8mvE5
you…”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLR5DVKSnu
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvikQXFEEJ7
this was the moment they would all be referring to.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbM5xYGLP1
“You jest?!” Celle asked.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiptOY5Sgo
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdFzQsahGY
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFKpdZFWZk
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWe3zshLKs
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRxH6Ssmp0
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGu6tAqYzL
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpx74Cviqr
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZywXW8W43
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAuke5KsLC
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qQ0KiUXuf
“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 the237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGMBDoVbtM
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkTO6YGfgY
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbwBXbnCGB
of the rest, they whispered to one another.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXwYQfvAeR
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTHPlGOAnr
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVCUTLckR3
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpy9TlBYkO
“What? No...” she let out...
