961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nxgAVEJT8
Davids relief didn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQmGmmJfl1
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LvPtENYx2
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIjxmnk1u6
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFiV2f87Jv
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziYUI2SIs2
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzJrmCDAJA
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN0YNK7Z9R
better off than Angela.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW8BPUONZq
"Breathe slowly and calm961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVLQVY6vfH
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvVY15K5sa
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHRlJneZJA
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6a8wQu7Kt
got steadier.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZLKBJErs
"Useless." Gob said as 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhJrJ1JCqD
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHPDE1Q1Bf
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk1cmVEz9k
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4rcsxaQW
After his conversation 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4CYcDcMN7
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHBhprX3PD
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv0wOkNLyE
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY6UpZPqJF
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLo0twdXet
"To get new weapons and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW7fpMznEj
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihs2Hr4zbi
drying his shoes from any excess water.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23mkW7sLbN
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7njGh6r0C
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uR4BOfQgm
"No!" Angela stood up 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHllLFKjre9
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBQKqagHfI
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gscakIhDg
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRtN2Di430
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTCd2e2R7g
"If I could do anything 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom9TzjcXWp
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX5xj4NVXo
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LbmhC7z6t
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3eA49nCij
us. Now get up."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEmXijK2Mo
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZf2FIKHj
Thus, they began their 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzSFJCabOr
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w4XwvzKKH
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNt7Ifhowp
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdulyIbzeie
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCjxhLFM3x
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPUzbVqL3A
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1rUEWGotw
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxx9tRTFqM
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnrDIVUafv
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkdIoVHZbe
The only one not 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwoA0TBKZq
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53G6agdWoL
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LDgT2sMxe
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKGmwZcCU1
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURG0f7m4Ho
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Do90Lm4x
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBlB7UK1wZ
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnDOqHa47W
was no more fighting, David didn't know.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmipjamXR5
David hoped that 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH3gotSW5V
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8KblKan0e
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth2lWhe44W
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fzghNzodk
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7nc59sAAx
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKymesfliVo
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVRrIeUhXX
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGVrAFyETD
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLjBfJahb9
David slouched to the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi6y2NulPl
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Vp93fbOX
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Ew9f7CrC
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0soF7UxR
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV1XzrKGzU
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6pLTreR7l
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4QvI613Z
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc3tO9peFq
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7cVIhdpt
No answer. ~Oh hells, do961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZuVYsZnYU
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi8p7Ry2oY
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1OOEXY7u0
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1phQ4Lil6a
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4efwggbRK
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6aS8FNje4
against putting it on her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ITRu3PF4R
"I...I should've been 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUZpvZjKh4
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaLOq9TdDo
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zyP2aSwdx
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7U39eGC3o
David's mouth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVCMIueN1M
"Why weren't you? Now, I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCUKrvJQqA
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEldEQ1F2N
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb45s0Ipiqa
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK8e4KZJ6f
"It happened so fast. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49HObjAFN0
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5PHGi9krA
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPfbaPStam
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YLzUVK4Al
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadAAURndbI
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yHycf471X
to herself again961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVgdixVuNx
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzfNusJaWE
The mighty hunter 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6RwU6EH3z
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfEYTW1FIs
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW98yRqc8kv
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN8w7tpZ8v
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRed6R0iqU
Their respite didn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Y1wEIWtt
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzde7G8s76
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1l1Hlr2LD
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoXEr3dc9T
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUmkp0kD08
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFR06sd197
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFiquRMG93
that skill to actual good use.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQziRouudnl
Thankfully their walk 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI9dHRld0i
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4mw3X6ByR
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRgOfHv2C
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0jT1Tn4Rs
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp558uUb9dV
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxrL0zXQp5
Gob motioned for them to961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8b2pTJXbF
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlKilMgzNA
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju51EgoyjA
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxKILjzirK
conveniently carried on his shoulder.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTwOONQb2p
Fly boats were made out 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG9gMjUywR
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjIRedpCOk
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlt5crDwU7
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOPQts8SnH
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1frVkZeXV
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5HQZyDcyv
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFxiGOfDAO
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM9wkMMlx0
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uKb6trdKi
or smiled. A frown.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ31HSPTDZ
He put the boat down on 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscLTtpNQBy
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwKPQWaepR
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0fdCLhZU
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBbpGwwOth
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjAvbmCHY9
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCA8l3nDtB
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGDRILN3fP
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZdVn3g19B
making his wounds ache.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4gUiITf5V
Gob put the boat over 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DDdC2eenq
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk4ebcChTH
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV4bzfiiwy
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2iscNLMrq
the other. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXxDZ37mNz
Gob handed David the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGAhWeOUAI
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoVik3nRJd
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc83K6GdVTf
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr7eBMdwJW
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp1mzKtX7Z
believed this was definitely one of those fates.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyGWIYgRGQ
All though David did 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXcxnKotY1
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLXxw2cICQ
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLamtCo2W8a
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQsg543umz
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwHYJBzD4
by the sun.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXROaMakvj
They all disembarked, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1IDm6lneA
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBdO4sLyF3
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucwP8884C
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjGymzZXJ
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97k1QllQ9M
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMjKMRrh5B
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjisSsBXkN
"How do they manage to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg66lpQHay
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm55hV01iC
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8oMy6ouWk
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz6QwLHXhR
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI3qQJ6eie
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtWjByT5aN
David nodded, the answer961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5zMCEVcVU
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgYI2aDVPe
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PiW7VYPse
One thing David noticed,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnGVCD7SiE
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXRDaOonfy
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2bfC1P1h7
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7x4tiIH3A
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNoC47VQB1
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62y5w7HuH0
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9m4xJjk6g
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWZjEv85mm
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQlYy4yh8z
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujJur0MmHF
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJl6bRYlxJ
It made him remember 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQNhPHrV9K
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEqBVUr7UM
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVQAM5YJ2G
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgWoxGFvnf
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rFHyfgxQs
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF79QckEdl7
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2k5y8EN0a
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLPeyHMSro
while ago.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRWmYHSWYv
Just as previously they 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCLaoavd8W
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86OeGuA4Dx
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRD7f5k5vM
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxoWOPXaNk
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsKglL1iNo
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuGF9xDA5H
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHwcWO8rTo
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo7fKS6Rc5
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAnU40u7vN
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9mHiQxwvY
David was apprehensive 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG62tJVr3w
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSEuHEP5dY
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOuUJNoUH
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUliLynIaNH
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfqu5caV0e
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77H8C5ol7R
Before they all turned 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYc5fEjc8
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMjfx0jbMJ
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECG9cxgO9e
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAFqRXwX6y
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWMc0SqkX1
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsrDOeKScI
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpaBZdm817
Sadly the sweet dream 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzK8vqeoUB
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulRSMqLpcj
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNv3mWYRse
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvUO6U9lKp
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecdkwN1VBR
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRXzQGXbLS
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOfnpUSwW
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5OBDoapgd
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfeqyAeP5a
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt0A1TGPIz
David shook his head and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBojWxfAlfF
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JfZPtNtXZ
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV96FXV6j8w
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8Fn4muBrz
too.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QccCThlMn
They spent the morning 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4LbDrEcHc
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ74rRAzT7
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUJGaojVXA
crowd. ~961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3wHUbdIwe
After they were all done961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkmOTotpVf
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWVXCgX9jt
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamoqhxslm4
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH84Hh32Ysc
Positivity all around.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUTxypVHCy
Soon they reached the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrfToH9RnE
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI00oDcQRd
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97NqRftcEH
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOicvRjHNH
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LHVKgld0T
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDDjv7iEHP
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv4hvcs6T5
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtPYpxoi6f
everyone won.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJzjYfG4L
Gob seemed to be pretty 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcFQm5IvdS
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbndt3eyFt
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc02P5EWij
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOIM7Vo1Mh
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTOM7g9uNA
making her way behind David.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6bEdLITn7
"Where's Lev?" Gob 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdyKCAd8ty
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiprybQ5AY
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHslsRfIrbX
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMbF4LNz98
Reaching the middle 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky6f72kvpo
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbbCEkYPxT
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj1VQxR0Mz
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHunKk0Hla
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbL3KNOc1A
and quickly put a knife to his throat.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFtvBb9aWK
Before David could 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKGcPnz5R
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wovBnrSyz
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt6DzXajXM
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgqDw4cqdM
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFMCBSy3PA
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPOb02rbs9
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1rtH8Mq5
The captains facial 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztCNsIPMjX
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoP7WBUXJv
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbST4nKxPgq
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9WYI9rkYz
"Enough of this!" 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDe65NXD81
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZhUT7QcgG
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFyky0C6gP
towards them.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIaXw8mS4E
David felt himself flung961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SJy2iYrpp
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vROMP71d9
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2AwJBPGvm
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsF484Mk6G
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P8VgsUq5g
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbF1bTbM74
overwhelmed him.
