Not really.366Please respect copyright.PENANAyoFwzfwZiU
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAxVb7VK2KUO
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was366Please respect copyright.PENANAADKKvpFeZY
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...366Please respect copyright.PENANAoyD6qRZNvQ
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAEQV7MD1vBA
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of366Please respect copyright.PENANAk20H6ibWDn
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear366Please respect copyright.PENANAgryjnwDTfB
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...366Please respect copyright.PENANAMBCpedPdcF
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are366Please respect copyright.PENANA9N3VY3csb6
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming366Please respect copyright.PENANAzdWNzaa7x1
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?366Please respect copyright.PENANAQVq0uJilUm
Acting on secrecy?”366Please respect copyright.PENANASW6U4KnZn4
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without366Please respect copyright.PENANAenkUw9X4Xo
addressing this.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAC6cNT26f3l
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...366Please respect copyright.PENANAs78lguBN2Y
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking366Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ8tfTG8at
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and366Please respect copyright.PENANAroDrcFsqd2
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here366Please respect copyright.PENANA2yuPRuM09H
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this366Please respect copyright.PENANApRyR3uoP6H
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand366Please respect copyright.PENANAN53NP6tSZE
the reason somewhat.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAyqhybi7vTn
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes366Please respect copyright.PENANAzQTF23BbIb
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty366Please respect copyright.PENANAoPrC267HsB
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that366Please respect copyright.PENANAhH06dJCytt
surprised...”366Please respect copyright.PENANA7uSIOTLpb2
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back366Please respect copyright.PENANAokV2Z8thqE
of his head.366Please respect copyright.PENANAvn8nnNHpOd
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the366Please respect copyright.PENANAtrZjGly2rT
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to366Please respect copyright.PENANAOLFUxhdhyd
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated366Please respect copyright.PENANAHmDplRq3or
as such.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAVYmJrT0EaA
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.366Please respect copyright.PENANARY6whrRoAD
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop366Please respect copyright.PENANAEyWMLvZBHx
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest366Please respect copyright.PENANAfOQhW82PyR
Celle?”366Please respect copyright.PENANAxkVSkOZGoo
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance366Please respect copyright.PENANA3Utj6aAMDx
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those366Please respect copyright.PENANAkeh01aV5wi
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition366Please respect copyright.PENANAhjVxUGqeDA
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment366Please respect copyright.PENANA8QgZeo5h4E
of few to keep the many safe.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAQyRTcGIq4Y
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks366Please respect copyright.PENANATmkA8c0pUw
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,366Please respect copyright.PENANAJ00MoDosi2
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns366Please respect copyright.PENANAaYaDsi7iH9
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.366Please respect copyright.PENANA8irmeEaTP7
“Now this should be something.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAD1R2QmgwX2
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”366Please respect copyright.PENANA4ERBQL1VQA
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to366Please respect copyright.PENANACj9TcSHp2Z
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already366Please respect copyright.PENANAv9YIhDVhyN
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to366Please respect copyright.PENANAW7zmu9tA4e
his majesty more often.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAsMZXTJosEt
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,366Please respect copyright.PENANAek3lCxymr4
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly366Please respect copyright.PENANAio0Eq5CBt6
farther away than the rest.366Please respect copyright.PENANAGE9t1iwDSH
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes366Please respect copyright.PENANANDjl1z6E1z
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.366Please respect copyright.PENANAit4N3r3tQL
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAss69Qqjfh1
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”366Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z9iJJTBVY
