“Be silent. I would suggest you think very carefully about your next phrase for145Please respect copyright.PENANAwuTBmYdMgn
I might not allow you to even finish it.”145Please respect copyright.PENANA8Pbg3B3Ted
Celle drew her weapon, and for the first time since this mission began, someone was145Please respect copyright.PENANA0fCtWGb2Q2
taking an aggressive stance. Dhanel Marce however, remained silent the whole time, as145Please respect copyright.PENANAiLcEaNcdzK
he kept on watching from outside the circle. He was likely pondering about more than145Please respect copyright.PENANAQWQi4JAiQB
just this scene happening in front of him.145Please respect copyright.PENANAMsmoYZHfLU
“Come then, speak one more word.” she smiled “Please.”145Please respect copyright.PENANACbo9XfQRW0
Red never moved, even though he was the target of such a threat; perhaps he145Please respect copyright.PENANAwBWWlpts6t
was not aware of the magnitude of the opponent in front of him, or perhaps he was145Please respect copyright.PENANAWYGEpfiEBA
confident in his own abilities. Or maybe he just knew his old friend too well, and was145Please respect copyright.PENANAMZzNkCf5dt
certain that he would never lose control of this situation. Red kept his feet rested and145Please respect copyright.PENANAmF0VmMJ1nZ
a calm head, perhaps more so than any other present here. The others however, seemed145Please respect copyright.PENANAjlC4o4Tba0
agitated for they knew Celle for quite a while and how she could be. All apart from145Please respect copyright.PENANAkQvghjTcPf
the leader of this party, who so far had been completely absent despite how much the145Please respect copyright.PENANAPpmz15QxYb
tensions were rising...145Please respect copyright.PENANAYPyFn23H1S
“I just did.” said Red as Celle’s eyes grew more furious “And I will do so again.145Please respect copyright.PENANAnXvIUgcple
Pay close attention now, as I resume my questions knowing you will do nothing.”145Please respect copyright.PENANAR3i9mm5kAb
“Red you are not helping,” said Deena but Red would continue freely...145Please respect copyright.PENANApohYEQFW2E
“Marce, isn’t it time for you to put this puppet back on her tight leash?”145Please respect copyright.PENANALqVn6JZnCu
Celle did not even have the time to raise her weapon properly before Dhanel Marce145Please respect copyright.PENANAXWsTJ5rPJb
finally stepped in to bring an end to this situation. “Celle that’s enough,” he said very145Please respect copyright.PENANAJ47VsS54oH
calmly, very confident in both his authority, as well as in the discipline of those under145Please respect copyright.PENANAY2AmBlXe1N
him.145Please respect copyright.PENANAbpJ2i9ABtH
She did, as always, as she was told, and once her weapon was sheathed on her back,145Please respect copyright.PENANAhDRsP8tA0T
she took a few steps away. Infuriated but always disciplined.145Please respect copyright.PENANACJNBQuWEIo
“Nothing but a puppet,” Red added gaining in this way one last look of the Elvorides145Please respect copyright.PENANAFiFWDxChgM
woman, as this short but somewhat intense introduction, finally came to a close.145Please respect copyright.PENANADyKjb7NhJe
“That’s enough out of you as well.” Dhanel Marce pointed at him, he was serious145Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rafk5aqjK
and after a few more circling steps he would then continue...145Please respect copyright.PENANA5JbGI4Iv2K
“Am I to assume then Red, that you are here now for the same old reason? Am I to145Please respect copyright.PENANAfyKyBa6lD2
assume you just can’t let it go?” the captain continues “I will also assume then, that you145Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9thtSBDUd
haven’t forgotten our history and conduct, of how we operate and are thus fully aware145Please respect copyright.PENANAUt0G7keLy0
of what a predicament this is. Now I know both Deena and Rhim over there would145Please respect copyright.PENANAnLdv2HGt4I
have no problem in us simply ignoring you and continuing with our mission. Lorian,145Please respect copyright.PENANAAbI71W8irU
well, he is like me, he is indifferent and whatever I end up deciding is fine by him.145Please respect copyright.PENANARXR1HShDRE
But Celle, she likes being somewhat of a stiff and as such, she seems not too comfortable145Please respect copyright.PENANAFSQBWpLcnT
in ignoring you. So, what to do Red? What to do?”145Please respect copyright.PENANAaGDyEjmAlb
The leader of this outfit keeps asking himself as if waiting for an answer, a solution145Please respect copyright.PENANAeaPt6GPjx0
he already knows is coming “Red this is serious. This is the most important mission145Please respect copyright.PENANAttVdCnytv1
ever assigned to the Hervies Hand, way more important than anything you or I have145Please respect copyright.PENANA0Akd3bnt74
ever had to pull off in our days, and one with time growing ever scarce.”145Please respect copyright.PENANAhOLDoVhgB9
“You are going to the facility atop of that mountain, aren’t you? What else would145Please respect copyright.PENANA7LLO8pTPds
bring the five all the way here? Then you know my answer” Red said, “take me with145Please respect copyright.PENANAiexcJt0KfQ
you…”145Please respect copyright.PENANA66XHZOuFmZ
If anyone anywhere could ever say that they once saw Dhanel Marce chuckle, then145Please respect copyright.PENANABQDrPcCd5K
this was the moment they would all be referring to.145Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4UtZL7f4X
“You jest?!” Celle asked.145Please respect copyright.PENANAdFCyZ9zm0H
“No.” Red continued as he looked in the captain’s eyes “You know all too well what145Please respect copyright.PENANAhUEY4Hqw1D
my reasons are.” a small pause “You also know that you owe me...” Red concluded...145Please respect copyright.PENANAUUqLARiszb
Silence then followed from everybody, and maybe Harigar Rhim and Deena knew145Please respect copyright.PENANARr0WW5zbK1
what Red meant as they had worked together for an exceptionally long time, or maybe145Please respect copyright.PENANA7FeOSP1IJb
it was something even before all of that. Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t.145Please respect copyright.PENANAgkpOa4SxuR
Still, none around those two dared to break that moment, as even Celle’s upcoming145Please respect copyright.PENANA4q5WY6GQ9O
frustration was put on a halt for the time being, for even she had curiosity towards145Please respect copyright.PENANAA7ZN6m7aAS
what just had been said and was hoping that more words would follow to quench it.145Please respect copyright.PENANArBBUbRE8tA
“Are you going to play that big card on me?”145Please respect copyright.PENANADKOS6aAi5W
“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 the145Please respect copyright.PENANAkjwk6r2rzo
outcome that can come from it seemed to echo in his mind, and then he gets close to145Please respect copyright.PENANABUbd7V3yqR
Red. The two were now almost at a kissing distance and for the second time in front145Please respect copyright.PENANA9xgdV4nmyU
of the rest, they whispered to one another.145Please respect copyright.PENANArZ8J8BxdJn
Words clearly not meant for anyone else to hear...145Please respect copyright.PENANABE31nMCmUr
“Very well...” Dhanel Marce finally, reluctantly, accepted - quite the shock to145Please respect copyright.PENANAUWBRzBxOAc
everyone here and to none more so than the Elvorides...145Please respect copyright.PENANAVeBbnuz0pP
“What? No...” she let out...
