Not really.394Please respect copyright.PENANAA9dwIZc1SV
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”394Please respect copyright.PENANAb9VYocwGui
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was394Please respect copyright.PENANADzyC0GXWqU
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...394Please respect copyright.PENANABftRGluk9l
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”394Please respect copyright.PENANAcxQimhzrKO
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of394Please respect copyright.PENANANMssoiNNl2
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear394Please respect copyright.PENANAAYzALIc40W
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...394Please respect copyright.PENANAXOZsRfBTxw
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are394Please respect copyright.PENANAZnmXMstrjy
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming394Please respect copyright.PENANAT3eopwd7kK
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?394Please respect copyright.PENANAP68j3CyrLI
Acting on secrecy?”394Please respect copyright.PENANAJnGEauxCAa
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without394Please respect copyright.PENANA0a9qgc8udy
addressing this.”394Please respect copyright.PENANAsmqt76wyat
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...394Please respect copyright.PENANAESbTZNB213
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking394Please respect copyright.PENANAGn2N7EEocq
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and394Please respect copyright.PENANAeayiS1DCrC
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here394Please respect copyright.PENANA4iYGgxdkv8
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this394Please respect copyright.PENANARplTUytFJP
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand394Please respect copyright.PENANAudhqIrrOWb
the reason somewhat.”394Please respect copyright.PENANAYG9eqjMYnT
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes394Please respect copyright.PENANAs9MYZyzTl6
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty394Please respect copyright.PENANAHvniUskfhu
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that394Please respect copyright.PENANAcuSYxFiCBt
surprised...”394Please respect copyright.PENANAFP9itxlhc4
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back394Please respect copyright.PENANAUYV7uEMc0W
of his head.394Please respect copyright.PENANAMaMzJrPCiN
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the394Please respect copyright.PENANA9ukMOqj0LT
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to394Please respect copyright.PENANAxIubuM8w4w
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated394Please respect copyright.PENANA7VyTOCLfJj
as such.”394Please respect copyright.PENANASiLogxMPaU
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.394Please respect copyright.PENANAsECYpxw5yc
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop394Please respect copyright.PENANAZdUe1kWFUa
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest394Please respect copyright.PENANA2MKr4Jtee5
Celle?”394Please respect copyright.PENANATB5WJMh4zZ
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance394Please respect copyright.PENANAtSIhRtjOGh
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those394Please respect copyright.PENANA62HKRS8AAT
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition394Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y8NCxI87a
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment394Please respect copyright.PENANAjiAOepdacO
of few to keep the many safe.”394Please respect copyright.PENANAkgjyjv9S63
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks394Please respect copyright.PENANA8bnBa7t9ro
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,394Please respect copyright.PENANA3oz71rAN18
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns394Please respect copyright.PENANAraFmJaI6rF
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.394Please respect copyright.PENANAepAHW0gohh
“Now this should be something.”394Please respect copyright.PENANAfuLCFSGbbE
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”394Please respect copyright.PENANASYNgKfMfCw
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to394Please respect copyright.PENANALtJig43MVe
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already394Please respect copyright.PENANAOhHCtUu22d
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to394Please respect copyright.PENANAdKitryKLpS
his majesty more often.”394Please respect copyright.PENANAHdh1EsSYSq
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,394Please respect copyright.PENANAUsGN0nUYrE
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly394Please respect copyright.PENANAob48osDtUH
farther away than the rest.394Please respect copyright.PENANA35sSoP5Qtu
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes394Please respect copyright.PENANARTx4q3rNTC
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.394Please respect copyright.PENANAx71oUWvogA
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”394Please respect copyright.PENANApvz8mpoNxl
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”394Please respect copyright.PENANALwfbfJUSOg
