Not really.120Please respect copyright.PENANAyDBFxp7AZh
And that Red, is how we lost Elistia.”120Please respect copyright.PENANARCfo9kkS2K
Red soaked it all in for a short moment, but there was no time for more, as it was120Please respect copyright.PENANAyq1ZXfjaid
now the turn for Harigar Rhim to interrupt...120Please respect copyright.PENANAUYFMfdQIp8
“Boss!” Dhanel Marce looks at him “We really need to get going now.”120Please respect copyright.PENANA3hCsxM3PIK
... the sky goes white once again... lightning strikes with the most thunderous of120Please respect copyright.PENANAB5mYLwrffI
roars... this time at the very top of the fearful mountain... so hard that they could swear120Please respect copyright.PENANAe2NwUE1f8x
some pieces of rock were cleaved right of it...120Please respect copyright.PENANAh70Q9mdhgQ
“What do you mean get moving?” asked Celle “What about this situation? We are120Please respect copyright.PENANALFIKg8MImH
here brazenly wasting time talking with this riffraff, indulging him instead of coming120Please respect copyright.PENANA4o3m1CLcRl
to terms with how to handle this. Is any reminder needed that we are on a mission?120Please respect copyright.PENANAaqlqOTtoB1
Acting on secrecy?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAjgTR5uWhDo
“Celle is right.” Deena took up the word “I guess we cannot proceed without120Please respect copyright.PENANAxSWgwEtwbs
addressing this.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAidNb7KQjgI
“Why are you here?” Celle persisted...120Please respect copyright.PENANAWY7ygqi2Io
“Red can often be found here.” Deena looked at Dhanel Marce as if asking120Please respect copyright.PENANAcl5QlQFD1P
permission to proceed with every word offered “He is originally from this town and120Please respect copyright.PENANAbKDLt4Vn4p
more often than not, he comes here to walk these empty streets, so us finding him here120Please respect copyright.PENANASi3fjHO3PO
tonight is not that out of the ordinary nor coincidental. Ever since tragedy befell this120Please respect copyright.PENANAfDkaBLvrAo
place he has been coming here, and none of us has ever asked, as we could understand120Please respect copyright.PENANALbubTCfwT0
the reason somewhat.”120Please respect copyright.PENANATzHbKWyqSu
Deena continued reluctantly, as she now looked at the red-haired man “Sometimes120Please respect copyright.PENANANF2QGs8A23
he would disappear for days and in the end, we would always find him here when duty120Please respect copyright.PENANAEjawe6cL8f
called. It is not that uncanny to find him here tonight. I think none of us is all that120Please respect copyright.PENANAAYQbGAHpD6
surprised...”120Please respect copyright.PENANAXtPZyGRvKZ
“Aye, I’ll admit to that.” Harigar Rhim looked at them all, as he scratched the back120Please respect copyright.PENANAepu3A7jVOT
of his head.120Please respect copyright.PENANAbEbYZgsAHu
“That may be” Celle took a few steps “but there is still the “detail” of the120Please respect copyright.PENANATqkd1ZB50R
inconspicuously of our presence here, and this man regardless of his past or bond to120Please respect copyright.PENANAmvYgMYmd7S
any of you, is not with the Hand anymore. He is but a civilian now, and to be treated120Please respect copyright.PENANA5UYYQoZWJH
as such.”120Please respect copyright.PENANA2Uq7UoCWrj
“Yeah, that part is also correct,” mumbled Harigar Rhim.120Please respect copyright.PENANAlISC4buCjc
Dhanel Marce paced back and forth almost like teasing, till he came to a slow stop120Please respect copyright.PENANAsXmaGBoRQZ
and with his back now turned to all of them he asked: “What would you then suggest120Please respect copyright.PENANAOg9MtZfzy9
Celle?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAEdtjeoa7sd
“We are all aware of our instructions; we are not to be seen under any circumstance120Please respect copyright.PENANAbKBOQjRole
during our stay in this forsaken area, and if such thing comes to pass then those120Please respect copyright.PENANAM9TYT0mzwZ
unfortunate enough to gaze upon us are to be dealt with. To not be left in any condition120Please respect copyright.PENANA00ZodR1hyM
where their mouths could tell what their eyes saw. As often must be Sir - the payment120Please respect copyright.PENANAOrzxVIik57
of few to keep the many safe.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAR8XxDWTeOE
“Are you suggesting then that we should take care of Red right here and now?” asks120Please respect copyright.PENANAQVSQNBsjKf
Harigar Rhim while looking at Dhanel Marce “I doubt he will go down as a civilian,120Please respect copyright.PENANASVuPTRhaGr
but hey, you have the rank so go on ahead” the black-cloaked swordsman then turns120Please respect copyright.PENANAUDRVxEre6w
his back to Celle and moves closer to Lorian.120Please respect copyright.PENANAqNjOIeJg7N
“Now this should be something.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAPh3EoMAHxu
“This is ridiculous...” Deena exhales “captain?”120Please respect copyright.PENANA8TFa1RDov5
“Our orders were clear were they not? Perhaps they were orders for me alone to120Please respect copyright.PENANA9iJKgri8JW
carry?” Celle had on her face that typical smug expression of hers, something already120Please respect copyright.PENANAEc9IN1wd8V
too familiar to all those inhabiting her circle “I will make sure to bring these issues to120Please respect copyright.PENANAZmtX9pfFT4
his majesty more often.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAqmJRVaHzSf
“You are such a bitch sometimes” Deena spoke openly while Red just stood there,120Please respect copyright.PENANAofo32cc9qU
in the middle of the whole scene, surrounded by the five, with Dhanel Marce slightly120Please respect copyright.PENANAvz2sDzNV6B
farther away than the rest.120Please respect copyright.PENANAZKoDym7SgG
He stood and watched with his feet deeply rooted into that scarred soil, for his eyes120Please respect copyright.PENANAOMdDsZi2DW
alone could do all the necessary movements this moment required.120Please respect copyright.PENANAlXSwM2OKFU
“You used to serve the Hand, yes?” Celle asked, “So you know how it must go.”120Please respect copyright.PENANAPxBSesH0uR
“Impressive.” Red finally said, “You really gobble up all that kingly shit, don’t you?”120Please respect copyright.PENANAl2kTTJDfSL
