“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB5MiMVluL
I might not allow you to even finish it.”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCFubJPMi
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkvuVwxxsW
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOMqCFRlVb
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5eKdBBkwt
just this scene happening in front of him.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeGWtF8K9V
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRABNt2ZPzx
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKZjCKYLOO
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AUxPYGLPs
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFXwiCWmZW
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRREV4r1B1
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptJUQ33fOl
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYONx33P3Y
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfbFFFtIEe
tensions were rising...275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNTbE4yFHD
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZAAmqYHK3
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbclZYde37
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0D2v8TKPq
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq6OR9cRW0
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWduv9iwWgY
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ2w4j1lcr
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwuMlnPoYC
him.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XZyF3A65F
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BQ2C5PpGJ
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSVqJ9nddq
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPYBgsfLwO
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6gHAgyHZe
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEYinK65ul
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkEcbOS5Mb
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeCKYyKJvr
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJkmnluNGq
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPOvHOsc02
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaqr15q8Jp
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1b0LTMbGq
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGzhFDhZ86
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJhBXiXKg
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNygNSOjNqw
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AreFz2m26
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSteDG185a
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lyX6dQhqE
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBWirwYsr9
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn8w0Pfn7x
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUMPXEG21i
you…”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53nxPrtEWs
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7bL0iQYsg
this was the moment they would all be referring to.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTEgPGKZ2o
“You jest?!” Celle asked.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V4RQ5I4V3
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzTR4QO2CL
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jT0RwjQTc
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4sQFww7ez
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUC4I9RpgC
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QdGPjk5j3
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnZps8Oszi
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oQY2U0g8n
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpcmpNceM0
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg1pXJirer
“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 the275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrr0l0R3DA
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrDVtoVlQg
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftOHTB1CLA
of the rest, they whispered to one another.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cQlsKyJ1F
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl88GMXxBxH
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nxHhAdRiR
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMGbkIbU6A
“What? No...” she let out...
