“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for397Please respect copyright.PENANA3diDAwRqGI
I might not allow you to even finish it.”397Please respect copyright.PENANA5gLyZ3wDjD
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was397Please respect copyright.PENANArhlq1n1LUW
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as397Please respect copyright.PENANAnXtq3tUsqz
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than397Please respect copyright.PENANA0YyA7OsEw5
just this scene happening in front of him.397Please respect copyright.PENANADRwnuhXoDq
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”397Please respect copyright.PENANAgc3SJhRz6e
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he397Please respect copyright.PENANAA2A6UUqqcr
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was397Please respect copyright.PENANArvkPzlUjO8
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was397Please respect copyright.PENANATVa1UXUaB6
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and397Please respect copyright.PENANApT47i01ySV
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed397Please respect copyright.PENANAYCYKaWLL7o
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from397Please respect copyright.PENANApkAqIpV0XO
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the397Please respect copyright.PENANADXvhHGHpZF
tensions were rising...397Please respect copyright.PENANAjRUOHOMH47
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.397Please respect copyright.PENANAT2lm2Tu6AV
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”397Please respect copyright.PENANAXEhI31JiLo
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...397Please respect copyright.PENANAQo3iYQuzca
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”397Please respect copyright.PENANAcQulocf1zH
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce397Please respect copyright.PENANAlTmivwNb1p
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very397Please respect copyright.PENANAowsqRMGhSL
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under397Please respect copyright.PENANAayhreav31Q
him.397Please respect copyright.PENANAq4dvVM24Uz
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,397Please respect copyright.PENANArlodUSmJfv
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.397Please respect copyright.PENANAYNwnmc78xq
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides397Please respect copyright.PENANAK6DBmTVkis
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.397Please respect copyright.PENANASNsz7guW7h
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious397Please respect copyright.PENANAUOHElTnhfE
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...397Please respect copyright.PENANAbY7w2a1Ii7
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to397Please respect copyright.PENANAjuvYyhGU7G
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you397Please respect copyright.PENANA90XhqeKiA4
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware397Please respect copyright.PENANAKuEC3evLyS
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would397Please respect copyright.PENANAC16XBfoDNZ
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,397Please respect copyright.PENANAD4uGCPcN5J
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.397Please respect copyright.PENANAQjQOZoquHX
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable397Please respect copyright.PENANA2LAoeGC9Gp
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”397Please respect copyright.PENANAIlzdOPohrZ
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution397Please respect copyright.PENANAv7l79rSxBd
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission397Please respect copyright.PENANAxYjzTTWnbq
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have397Please respect copyright.PENANAyCWPQLl7CS
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”397Please respect copyright.PENANANqEwGsVp2S
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would397Please respect copyright.PENANAfpW7KfM3CE
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with397Please respect copyright.PENANA7j8gxp1IEy
you…”397Please respect copyright.PENANALpTMiAP5nx
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then397Please respect copyright.PENANAmNaDSzCzML
this was the moment they would all be referring to.397Please respect copyright.PENANAmviK1sfiJr
“You jest?!” Celle asked.397Please respect copyright.PENANAaDERaW83h9
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what397Please respect copyright.PENANARoX5hYDpn1
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...397Please respect copyright.PENANAQfVstwji2Q
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew397Please respect copyright.PENANAfVtwfkPcUI
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe397Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ1WWTLUIc
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.397Please respect copyright.PENANAfL3iqUmFJT
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming397Please respect copyright.PENANAbZhe6uJ9u1
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards397Please respect copyright.PENANAmZVHR5mX3R
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.397Please respect copyright.PENANAnutT1pPYjy
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”397Please respect copyright.PENANAbLi1oBx2ov
“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 the397Please respect copyright.PENANA0WNLBSyUjG
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to397Please respect copyright.PENANAZPDMIkn9Fp
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front397Please respect copyright.PENANAZEfTkWE8JM
of the rest, they whispered to one another.397Please respect copyright.PENANATUfv2ixF4B
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...397Please respect copyright.PENANAMqaoZULGDD
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to397Please respect copyright.PENANAfA11MNiTAg
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...397Please respect copyright.PENANAjoPKVIgkfP
“What? No...” she let out...
