“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for177Please respect copyright.PENANAwhGJtcfkRZ
I might not allow you to even finish it.”177Please respect copyright.PENANAMfozLUMbpy
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was177Please respect copyright.PENANA4HgmtQZkCL
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as177Please respect copyright.PENANArsoW39yuoy
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than177Please respect copyright.PENANA3TxIFH84lz
just this scene happening in front of him.177Please respect copyright.PENANAd1vBZTvIdL
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”177Please respect copyright.PENANAzMcXDyXpM0
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he177Please respect copyright.PENANAiP0iE2piQQ
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was177Please respect copyright.PENANAcn3txWaNBi
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was177Please respect copyright.PENANADZ4PiL8uFa
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and177Please respect copyright.PENANAFDcvGNosvN
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed177Please respect copyright.PENANAuAWuu0bOuB
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from177Please respect copyright.PENANAEkXpujwKSY
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the177Please respect copyright.PENANA66e9r3eQoZ
tensions were rising...177Please respect copyright.PENANAFkWFelogvM
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.177Please respect copyright.PENANAaF5c0hIeeM
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”177Please respect copyright.PENANAcvEfNHwYJo
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...177Please respect copyright.PENANAIobLBK9llD
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”177Please respect copyright.PENANAVeG9BiZN1b
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce177Please respect copyright.PENANAm8i9Q2NkHT
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very177Please respect copyright.PENANAMjPEahM7bm
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under177Please respect copyright.PENANAHlVb1crqJ6
him.177Please respect copyright.PENANAyrjFruQZKr
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,177Please respect copyright.PENANApfBPZoTo8r
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.177Please respect copyright.PENANAFkQ1c3wuOi
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides177Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ao1fH3sxM
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.177Please respect copyright.PENANAAtlKjhZMaE
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious177Please respect copyright.PENANATDpepThYMd
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...177Please respect copyright.PENANAR5tWqH5T6R
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to177Please respect copyright.PENANA1o6tmAc9Iz
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you177Please respect copyright.PENANAPK3D5GlFba
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware177Please respect copyright.PENANAabZfBBTrt1
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would177Please respect copyright.PENANABTFOrHo0jZ
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,177Please respect copyright.PENANAdgduryrkwI
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.177Please respect copyright.PENANAyJb7ECuI7L
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable177Please respect copyright.PENANAXepcaIFoQc
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”177Please respect copyright.PENANAzPLrY4R63q
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution177Please respect copyright.PENANAespeMuibRe
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission177Please respect copyright.PENANAk6wXlqTlyQ
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have177Please respect copyright.PENANAfZcBGzbXlB
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”177Please respect copyright.PENANAg4m6ASaCa5
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would177Please respect copyright.PENANApFMGtvzNIi
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with177Please respect copyright.PENANASKoynU8EKv
you…”177Please respect copyright.PENANA3cSiBRoG1q
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then177Please respect copyright.PENANA1e6KPbgpyv
this was the moment they would all be referring to.177Please respect copyright.PENANAWV34eextO0
“You jest?!” Celle asked.177Please respect copyright.PENANADorUSojZOl
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what177Please respect copyright.PENANAYEuL5Y3xnq
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...177Please respect copyright.PENANAdv8NY2btvC
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew177Please respect copyright.PENANARtnIiMm3N8
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe177Please respect copyright.PENANApJbdnFjrZ7
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.177Please respect copyright.PENANAoBsGpg6kzY
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming177Please respect copyright.PENANAgkTJuirpas
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards177Please respect copyright.PENANAAdqliS83gL
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.177Please respect copyright.PENANALN7mx3f28A
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”177Please respect copyright.PENANArs83UicW45
“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 the177Please respect copyright.PENANAUxr15BlhrN
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to177Please respect copyright.PENANAC1REfoUJz4
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front177Please respect copyright.PENANAftaUHB5UJr
of the rest, they whispered to one another.177Please respect copyright.PENANA57Sv3rivZ8
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...177Please respect copyright.PENANALetPhchJUb
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to177Please respect copyright.PENANAPJPimYmPUJ
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...177Please respect copyright.PENANALhFDBeI45q
“What? No...” she let out...
