“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPyZoZguvb
I might not allow you to even finish it.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGn6vgA8Q0
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ty1fG1HG
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxfCFULwbH
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1oaSP8PIn
just this scene happening in front of him.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI98ISFI9v
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdE2uCEhHY
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHBdRyxw78
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfAVnWKd4k
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ocIXOUbPR
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbZvgER0IU
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj13apP7QYo
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbPH3w7l8o
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtSa7JpWUE
tensions were rising...236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemxji0WL3a
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9F1HZKCvI
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiUQkfLY0K
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOorXLNDjM
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKScH6E5cA
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaZKpsTz9M
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDkLGt0bcB
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRgrPEj2v
him.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVjmbrJ93
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppZKSLZVbT
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdSoOfBuo8
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqfxSav13V
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsQol8vyi3
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJuTnNFacj
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqxMFeshTI
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JQ5sLAaeT
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRKyOxgxCr
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN6wsyfyua
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6rfIeIRRt
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mN7xYd0BD
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pGeMNrcjo
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9n1EkIK30
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyIk1OJlQf
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jlqWRazXh
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNX0U9YQix
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq578jlkcYO
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG4X400yDT
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTwkSdPgHV
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjeyNVEGDl
you…”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1jMOoBlRh
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpCovabEvH
this was the moment they would all be referring to.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg67nMZYgQy
“You jest?!” Celle asked.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxj16ZWR73
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfz6LgU0c
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzY81AaPuc
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8JQBN5HsC
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT669CRLVSs
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwJ6BeGU8y
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MzPxM147R
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31yFw1C6Sg
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeqra4Kgdn
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqsPNx70QT
“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 the236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3cA7e6iMP
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9PbZn8m4c
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxseWLgtdRz
of the rest, they whispered to one another.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavk6hyGWC2
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKkNoC5kZz
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7SPahpkOy
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLyiYQUzW2
“What? No...” she let out...
