“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwxRwy2cft
I might not allow you to even finish it.”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaDX0JmX2p
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPT2VVe9v7
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhIa6jkN3L
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdtSgIKXGm
just this scene happening in front of him.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB3bXf8Chq
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESBG4qmCSl
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuuyuP7f2B
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNZTAPvGmP
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQMuzAaKXL
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OU9zk73UM
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHgSXfzqPp
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzkI19OM9B
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsFi4y2IA8
tensions were rising...238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62jl3RajRk
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETftGH5NL3
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMQRsIgLuc
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuI2eQcVsV
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbYZrvrxVm
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAFj4q3HCU
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbIl4CEDy
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvFSQopQ7r
him.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmCGP9dAd
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnt2mnkECS
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR14xrR0MT
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9mIVpumtU
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRNUFUA3Fc
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWGPXxO2DP
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bpshpklhK
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTEGYiN6Qj
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDKb3GbBAh
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bCYKiqe24
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGmTrgT5X1
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWy9pkbAs8
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QwuaFIe1L
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm6mbKE6yG
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6tmhYzlT8
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JMzDFh7EQ
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCLpJqVsI6
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv6XvFcgO9
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEEDbgbSgQ
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZa2Bd5zIy
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei0HMExmlW
you…”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUYjUxzztx
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed1GIPGezP
this was the moment they would all be referring to.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDV1mDAzVE
“You jest?!” Celle asked.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAAbuEM2Vt
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9v9xW3iD2
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSBoasqoII
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J3g8pVILi
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e3zPqPlV2
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMXUkvsJ4E
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M3fG8EZOF
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fWmLbIBQW
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi209qT2i3
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDYSajGO1s
“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 the238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkUnAQDL2H
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfzOFxjOlz
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0iyPk8YeJ
of the rest, they whispered to one another.238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8qKWDqK1B
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ifsILmnR
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQw5JSA7rs
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhRE8TURFF
“What? No...” she let out...
