“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for344Please respect copyright.PENANAa4MBY5JHnh
I might not allow you to even finish it.”344Please respect copyright.PENANAHin0CfGn0o
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was344Please respect copyright.PENANA6WdyHWWW0c
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as344Please respect copyright.PENANATIH5Egcu64
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than344Please respect copyright.PENANAiczflJ4Ems
just this scene happening in front of him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAM2gfAGMp9j
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”344Please respect copyright.PENANA9F0NqQnDQp
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he344Please respect copyright.PENANAf1XeoZvNil
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was344Please respect copyright.PENANA3XC0mkhrax
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was344Please respect copyright.PENANAlemxvVEw1L
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and344Please respect copyright.PENANAfNMr6QySNp
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed344Please respect copyright.PENANAipyDqETNh2
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from344Please respect copyright.PENANAmplvlahnpr
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the344Please respect copyright.PENANA68LzaKKtre
tensions were rising...344Please respect copyright.PENANAGT7oAD3eIL
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.344Please respect copyright.PENANATisVF25HHn
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”344Please respect copyright.PENANAHcNgVsUHOD
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...344Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2olyBRqFj
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”344Please respect copyright.PENANA3PS1OPgrb6
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce344Please respect copyright.PENANAuFWOnog5vk
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very344Please respect copyright.PENANAkfkHIFFefQ
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under344Please respect copyright.PENANAldhnYIBHg6
him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAGcBKYOhqrn
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,344Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZUr1MbHrf
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.344Please respect copyright.PENANAmgqwTgadYr
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides344Please respect copyright.PENANA0nwgtVavQN
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.344Please respect copyright.PENANAQHDybisgAf
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious344Please respect copyright.PENANAK8EY2B6McN
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...344Please respect copyright.PENANAsHxnDSUpcB
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to344Please respect copyright.PENANAkp217VGzgA
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you344Please respect copyright.PENANAEyNKyqfs69
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware344Please respect copyright.PENANAaBi3hH9O8X
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would344Please respect copyright.PENANAPI4rlkh4Ci
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,344Please respect copyright.PENANAivHh59qy32
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.344Please respect copyright.PENANAEQZPzSZb0P
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable344Please respect copyright.PENANACyJq0p1mBS
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”344Please respect copyright.PENANAAhPl1PCvZo
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution344Please respect copyright.PENANA2cIBi0rJaX
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission344Please respect copyright.PENANAbADuRSkbWc
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have344Please respect copyright.PENANAUYEwpu26fP
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”344Please respect copyright.PENANAMxjSJqm2wf
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would344Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4rtO9A4sK
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with344Please respect copyright.PENANAokuHJHPCtH
you…”344Please respect copyright.PENANAS5VNkcmHxK
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then344Please respect copyright.PENANAX4NJATrNqh
this was the moment they would all be referring to.344Please respect copyright.PENANAkTNmpmbtOd
“You jest?!” Celle asked.344Please respect copyright.PENANA1gRjxF2nft
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what344Please respect copyright.PENANAykZBH3R7Kp
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...344Please respect copyright.PENANACcuB202C51
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew344Please respect copyright.PENANATqzt95Am4t
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe344Please respect copyright.PENANAriba1qTaqP
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.344Please respect copyright.PENANAWehgh0vHtQ
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming344Please respect copyright.PENANAoWGTy0RE3d
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards344Please respect copyright.PENANAyelbLXmHv1
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.344Please respect copyright.PENANApaX43XZqiw
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”344Please respect copyright.PENANAPZeoFiNh0s
“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 the344Please respect copyright.PENANAwjPhUNKjiE
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to344Please respect copyright.PENANAr0Gc5nYGrO
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front344Please respect copyright.PENANAC7me6xYVs2
of the rest, they whispered to one another.344Please respect copyright.PENANAn7j8y2ktHx
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...344Please respect copyright.PENANAvRVLiRolnr
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to344Please respect copyright.PENANAEiM3eslWlV
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...344Please respect copyright.PENANA8lbCvFJq0J
“What? No...” she let out...
