“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbbTa7ecaN
I might not allow you to even finish it.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq9pjBPZfu
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjw9Dv47qu
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd1ij2IuX9
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelApPrqMCQ
just this scene happening in front of him.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWi2RyXxAv
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcex3AjUAD
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFfLQJ9zL9
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dXNyYLwN7
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetFCO7CC3
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs7eTxSfA6
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtm3X84ZrO
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rGdIcA26L
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFypvhcgzeA
tensions were rising...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbakvlUqd2
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QR0Y9Q2bt
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1JwQyjlas
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VVdbo2RCz
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYwQCET9KB
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVmeZIjojP
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvn00plXhH
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvAKyyKhvO
him.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T1OTfAji8
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYYkKHBlgo
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoqvWTT7Xg
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLcvbz9W66
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEUzJmEk5R
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3laaRRIdbg
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5PbnYrKkH
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4qW8ORTN5
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29XN2QfDRM
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTVblkDx11
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7VOPBRLq5
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeBtkuA48B
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQcf6u40x0
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ZXOVOqyY
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWMf6h3hhu
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLiuZ1ZbvN
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8pEVKLjWd
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL3qHcSHTf
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AYrDCYmfi
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRLNhjZUrg
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK5DV2N33S
you…”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoZgVWDsCI
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqpyhlDeNw
this was the moment they would all be referring to.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDG7JP5h3A
“You jest?!” Celle asked.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdd0iZYr5J
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6IZB5wUVA
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6rYXJQVAJ
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo2PBm8jRH
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l2Agie96m
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju5B3MEoLA
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo7ubWOLLZ
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxRlsJV6RI
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZdWGahwTs
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn7LXT0Dbw
“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 the313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVDT0uJD8I
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6LNgRPiEU
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz36LtiWeF
of the rest, they whispered to one another.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72EltRE4gQ
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F1bi51qvR
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg0IsWjA8P
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRL7YFEPIz
“What? No...” she let out...
