Not really.119Please respect copyright.PENANA2EZc7kSeTn
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”119Please respect copyright.PENANAxqdXJVwNFL
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was119Please respect copyright.PENANA5scYSp9olm
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...119Please respect copyright.PENANAscRUPf46Uu
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”119Please respect copyright.PENANAKkWXxJMYDm
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of119Please respect copyright.PENANAVw7WGSX6Vk
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear119Please respect copyright.PENANAjmvWvqviP3
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...119Please respect copyright.PENANAo2aFE9hQpI
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are119Please respect copyright.PENANA2QKEZmtLf2
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming119Please respect copyright.PENANAo4XwF9FdGO
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?119Please respect copyright.PENANAbsrwtbvriQ
Acting on secrecy?”119Please respect copyright.PENANA8lKxyzzzPH
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without119Please respect copyright.PENANAnAAlvhOfmV
addressing this.”119Please respect copyright.PENANAb0hwk0ew3i
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...119Please respect copyright.PENANAXHoInfLG3c
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking119Please respect copyright.PENANA6m6S343JP6
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and119Please respect copyright.PENANALlKWwJnJ4J
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here119Please respect copyright.PENANA7HnhOHNgi2
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this119Please respect copyright.PENANASNOiTMbEZk
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand119Please respect copyright.PENANAFjVzprYNVY
the reason somewhat.”119Please respect copyright.PENANAEb7hqbgdrS
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes119Please respect copyright.PENANAXaATcmxUTD
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty119Please respect copyright.PENANAVoGGhhdofY
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that119Please respect copyright.PENANA58H20AakVl
surprised...”119Please respect copyright.PENANAm6CP0Jkqf8
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back119Please respect copyright.PENANAlHQm7L5FBE
of his head.119Please respect copyright.PENANAB8qAyee0Y4
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the119Please respect copyright.PENANATAyiBJ8PsP
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to119Please respect copyright.PENANAoIIINTFYfl
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated119Please respect copyright.PENANAo1VAm78fGp
as such.”119Please respect copyright.PENANAgUFnj8fWfk
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.119Please respect copyright.PENANAVPXUAgzrXS
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop119Please respect copyright.PENANAzTQmquZ5v5
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest119Please respect copyright.PENANAruWU6nfSqn
Celle?”119Please respect copyright.PENANAYQYcToth1p
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance119Please respect copyright.PENANA1sIv4xwqFR
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those119Please respect copyright.PENANAHZHEbEQkFV
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition119Please respect copyright.PENANAw6aYPRtGfi
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment119Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xtm5hAr4x
of few to keep the many safe.”119Please respect copyright.PENANA0UHQKBVRlL
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks119Please respect copyright.PENANAh4jnpmzRhl
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,119Please respect copyright.PENANAsWZXBTOqPn
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns119Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ9gyHVzKe
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.119Please respect copyright.PENANAI5Wbnzepej
“Now this should be something.”119Please respect copyright.PENANADyBGkD242x
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”119Please respect copyright.PENANAvhUdhYoQ9p
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to119Please respect copyright.PENANA7PNct1WCCc
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already119Please respect copyright.PENANAZxqixSYwLb
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to119Please respect copyright.PENANATKpWRrqDyq
his majesty more often.”119Please respect copyright.PENANAG1cD8hgT1f
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,119Please respect copyright.PENANAoNXgTzICNO
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly119Please respect copyright.PENANAu1gPR3mF46
farther away than the rest.119Please respect copyright.PENANAmUZYK9wi8Z
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes119Please respect copyright.PENANAGC2MHBzP1t
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.119Please respect copyright.PENANAI5QXDjhnv7
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”119Please respect copyright.PENANASC2Rj2FcUz
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”119Please respect copyright.PENANAKK1US1pzze
