Not really.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGULqHFkMs
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK9ANy1ZU6
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5nJ3ddrLI
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiAu4xENP8
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv3GZZDcms
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3toGLEY9s
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOGm6EDQxw
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjjByFnawv
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmjYubn6zt
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiUXMKjdB7
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjISyGv13
Acting on secrecy?”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIERNgmMMw
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkF741PqpC
addressing this.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAtjQQmYhq
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5sVBPf7Em
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIQQE7vtTg
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsBkZlYL5Z
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOYF7tqjZX
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Vf66VRSl
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W9NrJHrHt
the reason somewhat.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx0pzkQfyd
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS00vIwtfd
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VabnQfFbR
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKf0lvKHW9
surprised...”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZxLLkkSVj
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8MopdtVYF
of his head.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh6hXjFSGj
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zgzul7vU
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Q8SBBweY
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbpRPfd7fo
as such.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4rI6OfOwu
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfshsfUlKY
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc2yXpKQUC
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdY56VMwaj
Celle?”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8WPXzJ756
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85YHKLVkMg
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0reCt19MR
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9NMqh4T0
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiVQynJosK
of few to keep the many safe.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlfDkviUoA
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVtlSwCutB
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ7AsP1W6T
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkOowHcDIk
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMuk6dKVji
“Now this should be something.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbHIE6bHOM
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ysn1VqXDU
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDWOL2lAcz
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUEXgAf9Dd
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjh8dlh6Dx
his majesty more often.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX39zihOrM8
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35yw4JOOAS
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMFbn4SehD
farther away than the rest.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeO4jwDUlP
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cqfgNR7Ze
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j3HBcClkW
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQTXiBfxqs
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9xTYWTXhL
