Not really.159Please respect copyright.PENANAiRkq008LX8
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”159Please respect copyright.PENANAa5Qyu1Rqxn
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was159Please respect copyright.PENANA6A7LN1p4Ml
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...159Please respect copyright.PENANAop75BdbYTr
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”159Please respect copyright.PENANAyBVpuE008H
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of159Please respect copyright.PENANAZLpeQtG3MO
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear159Please respect copyright.PENANAdUoW9O3KY6
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...159Please respect copyright.PENANArYG2lCop2v
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are159Please respect copyright.PENANAcRJ8vcqhyA
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming159Please respect copyright.PENANALxk1bPAx7j
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?159Please respect copyright.PENANAGJoodsx7bJ
Acting on secrecy?”159Please respect copyright.PENANAFcKDtCuFrm
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without159Please respect copyright.PENANAXMEP1DfMMT
addressing this.”159Please respect copyright.PENANAPRxO3uAiBS
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...159Please respect copyright.PENANA35XbS7xvqc
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking159Please respect copyright.PENANAGZcuwqZuyP
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and159Please respect copyright.PENANAlH4UHFvbBP
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here159Please respect copyright.PENANACIANxjKT9q
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this159Please respect copyright.PENANAiHb1utqizV
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand159Please respect copyright.PENANAXvM6lcNioR
the reason somewhat.”159Please respect copyright.PENANAdLzGtx9Btj
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes159Please respect copyright.PENANAzZWq2LLh4u
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty159Please respect copyright.PENANAgKVQmWnSXj
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that159Please respect copyright.PENANAloSqwT7IbX
surprised...”159Please respect copyright.PENANAKy3XXBtQth
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back159Please respect copyright.PENANAr9VctXs98m
of his head.159Please respect copyright.PENANAaLKbeBc53K
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the159Please respect copyright.PENANATMWhv9s0Ts
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to159Please respect copyright.PENANASnGcdWk58Y
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated159Please respect copyright.PENANA9KbN8IQ4Ja
as such.”159Please respect copyright.PENANALpLfpZFf0E
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.159Please respect copyright.PENANAo3oyzq6h5Y
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop159Please respect copyright.PENANAOKNuVxHvXM
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest159Please respect copyright.PENANApW6LpUPIfT
Celle?”159Please respect copyright.PENANAZyaWNIyZ1x
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance159Please respect copyright.PENANA1EgabglivB
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those159Please respect copyright.PENANAgtgbeJDRDU
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition159Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Dc1zuqDC
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment159Please respect copyright.PENANARgIjVhK1By
of few to keep the many safe.”159Please respect copyright.PENANACI2ezNSEXc
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks159Please respect copyright.PENANAfZGg7DHXgw
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,159Please respect copyright.PENANASqNJPHmNZZ
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns159Please respect copyright.PENANA5PiNcXYDIM
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.159Please respect copyright.PENANA7ELBGiLFbP
“Now this should be something.”159Please respect copyright.PENANAEtt2AKKqLU
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”159Please respect copyright.PENANAFWVtwfYlOi
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to159Please respect copyright.PENANAimQyotrr13
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already159Please respect copyright.PENANAl9kzHotQkC
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to159Please respect copyright.PENANAEfxrmtkGIz
his majesty more often.”159Please respect copyright.PENANArquogBWWfc
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,159Please respect copyright.PENANAxTI340ECPc
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly159Please respect copyright.PENANAM8FnYrOTaz
farther away than the rest.159Please respect copyright.PENANA7SyBPrgjP2
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes159Please respect copyright.PENANAaKQePU9EvI
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.159Please respect copyright.PENANAQLD2xvWKPN
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”159Please respect copyright.PENANAlaoXsi8Q0b
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”159Please respect copyright.PENANAVj1FMUDxtR
