Not really.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlltAMfUt0
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTdNAmJH0u
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6W72DFxsz
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jnyEompdN
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vMKyyHsp4
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFO0agVTZH
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrGYBMJkZq
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS0Zybw9vr
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBnFk092pj
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDmAevjQzQ
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9y6ZC8Gzu
Acting on secrecy?”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r4hIwe2Sr
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiGJJ3V1Nd
addressing this.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPDyHMKElE
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OKS2241rX
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEodkNGVrA
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xiZiyYfit
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRZbJ9wX27
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ5x0MEj2A
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSEtvgL5Az
the reason somewhat.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKYMIv7FlY
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwwr6gwGhb
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJt7eJWSyc
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfOfupL26l
surprised...”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENNVyEsNkW
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53P5rmmYt5
of his head.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJu26QZnHu
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtn0bz6Pwy
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyr8zAvddb
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEJc3Hnb4J
as such.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVSHx42fNC
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd12k6VVLH
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNILHzIDO1
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhwlnXTycT
Celle?”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagg0qBnuGH
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITOVn28ICC
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnruTCNQdlF
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PZabOoMtO
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANKvwsiOz1
of few to keep the many safe.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqeZmi1eXt
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiyA8ICrVa
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P00Sq0Ylh
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTHk93Tw1j
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0uI4B2MDP
“Now this should be something.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF5z76aeqP
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe31U1aFII
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sT2jy2KRR
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAJ0t6PfkL
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡschO04iR84
his majesty more often.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB1QvAfOVb
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfn6ZDECgG
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD5tneNgtu
farther away than the rest.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH1D5dLGbG
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz8c0jXctN
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmPlbMiYuO
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktMT37PZfz
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ygyETHKPe
