“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for144Please respect copyright.PENANAY7owmyGgvf
I might not allow you to even finish it.”144Please respect copyright.PENANAkwAVp1PweR
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was144Please respect copyright.PENANAzl3k74EOrs
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as144Please respect copyright.PENANAk1UIoxAWUI
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than144Please respect copyright.PENANAh94kMKZ4K6
just this scene happening in front of him.144Please respect copyright.PENANAtxLlKrZoYe
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”144Please respect copyright.PENANATgjQxPAI4l
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he144Please respect copyright.PENANAyK2M3Jn95q
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was144Please respect copyright.PENANAzKQpSQ0L8h
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was144Please respect copyright.PENANAkCIXSYnciA
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and144Please respect copyright.PENANA77o0ta1bjB
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed144Please respect copyright.PENANAsdtgecXIBu
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from144Please respect copyright.PENANApMXi0XMyUX
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the144Please respect copyright.PENANAZCNf5AFIX8
tensions were rising...144Please respect copyright.PENANACIeTp9QH1C
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.144Please respect copyright.PENANAjB9yvh23eo
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”144Please respect copyright.PENANAVEgsFXERCR
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...144Please respect copyright.PENANAiJjswnzXUG
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”144Please respect copyright.PENANAfRQaOoCIRA
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce144Please respect copyright.PENANAEpIBh3W3B9
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very144Please respect copyright.PENANAApzKQpT6GV
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under144Please respect copyright.PENANA1LvxWJ8INJ
him.144Please respect copyright.PENANAEdU5Xn1ouB
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,144Please respect copyright.PENANAwkh0UVnC4u
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.144Please respect copyright.PENANAlmnjJm5YW1
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides144Please respect copyright.PENANAaXD7t4ZOYo
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.144Please respect copyright.PENANApu91zb7iaX
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious144Please respect copyright.PENANABJ1NbD9pf0
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...144Please respect copyright.PENANAlkDbtADIxl
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to144Please respect copyright.PENANAF3UesVVOG1
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you144Please respect copyright.PENANADoRsDw9xv8
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware144Please respect copyright.PENANAmoaGMpIrpo
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would144Please respect copyright.PENANATayPSjx8eX
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,144Please respect copyright.PENANAym01lKVEQE
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.144Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ4IIGGVmV
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable144Please respect copyright.PENANADplCtnA7DJ
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”144Please respect copyright.PENANA1ublrgd8Dq
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution144Please respect copyright.PENANA9V23rTYFr0
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission144Please respect copyright.PENANAPD9kAMCs4V
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have144Please respect copyright.PENANAxa93vfRARn
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”144Please respect copyright.PENANARPaRgJluwi
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would144Please respect copyright.PENANA3fC8jBxr8n
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with144Please respect copyright.PENANA42fZVO2GWz
you…”144Please respect copyright.PENANAnoMkRvWFVy
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then144Please respect copyright.PENANAMAD5Lhtp89
this was the moment they would all be referring to.144Please respect copyright.PENANAj5RaTWNMUS
“You jest?!” Celle asked.144Please respect copyright.PENANACDBt2Z92MP
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what144Please respect copyright.PENANA83h0dqbziN
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...144Please respect copyright.PENANAGgiUfxjRd3
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew144Please respect copyright.PENANA6WQlYaq1XR
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe144Please respect copyright.PENANAM44kjocXLx
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.144Please respect copyright.PENANAJlGp8KjiFq
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming144Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mzht6uvHn
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards144Please respect copyright.PENANABSCHG2hg87
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.144Please respect copyright.PENANA69SBfUkkXw
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”144Please respect copyright.PENANAJvaKSjHEvG
“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 the144Please respect copyright.PENANAsixQW7lD8U
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to144Please respect copyright.PENANAV7F6j4yQQ5
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front144Please respect copyright.PENANAoeqZfeNek6
of the rest, they whispered to one another.144Please respect copyright.PENANAx6QKms4U6V
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...144Please respect copyright.PENANAzB2P1ubckR
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to144Please respect copyright.PENANAzLuU18nrsA
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...144Please respect copyright.PENANAgKdVsPHATe
“What? No...” she let out...
