1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1f5GqGq5v
Davids relief didn't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RT0YeYrjm
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZXDvTETeE
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFYuuqin3F
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLoM8b5oeH
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ85JUieRVR
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCAVwMvhpH
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckcIHVpF0e
better off than Angela.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl8reD2RW6
"Breathe slowly and calm1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK5qkmN6li
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59qdf5LvHg
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B4oJRfLEA
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIfJ7a9vnm
got steadier.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDIUzmFAsX
"Useless." Gob said as 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyms1m5IJ1
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKduAwZF2dE
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBfVrl09id
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRCdFtLsDi
After his conversation 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ7ZKBsgFi
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EtsYUewy0
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBeyiRf87U
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmhIN8BEA0
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB7yRNkXSM
"To get new weapons and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mqmcwt5vf
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvuTLer1OF
drying his shoes from any excess water.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiVJjnJVjI
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I7WHNCxgB
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4gpG7Vih4
"No!" Angela stood up 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVmCj2s2AJ
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhQdCefW8i
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDdPFqFk5j
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKl3VEZk1o
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46fExWiJ8s
"If I could do anything 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKIiZieluN
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHmuBkvbkk
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhqRqVoOyQ
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd79YspdK5
us. Now get up."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡral4D83E04
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqzAdbrF9J
Thus, they began their 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyeBGGTIHv
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMek00aboWY
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSmZyGMo9P
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCziboWQ3i
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE1bwFpg0Q
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDKb7QqZn2
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkS4O91kPF
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaSnjm3bQW
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTr0yQh5gX
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ26uTzCIV
The only one not 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoglfRB4F5
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBJD18W1OJ
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZrVTCEIU
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjC5quoYv5
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEhpg4AmmD
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CmRRPq97Y
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5is6Mw9br5
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvlopo5msd
was no more fighting, David didn't know.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjhb9vV3Wb
David hoped that 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg98h5SGkSY
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkgb0mDGwG
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooBf5A8nTE
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRcdQo1Cjq
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvVWPmqgjW
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit7wD0OIVk
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cyIm8UhHO
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h9WmGxmz7
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT14QsbX1G
David slouched to the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiL4iSxYBb
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Z1xsRvnz
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0xpuru7Re
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG91lKpzHSg
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo3F4nZPBW
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8t5bA45od
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1xZJeB8Kk
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauYgLem9U6
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HdfdJ6kUZ
No answer. ~Oh hells, do1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIESXwqEks
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB4KYrQtbe
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6BIHjK4Gf
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ3ToOMXB6
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPEtockq6Q
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfOsa7oO5C
against putting it on her.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjR4NTAX73
"I...I should've been 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcwJS00O1q
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZThA22EfxJ
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumXd9TU04h
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsgJkUleVW
David's mouth.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbfb3SN16P
"Why weren't you? Now, I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88gc0HixeV
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxiEDuKy6U
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUAb0jjYdK
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShIF4BNA1w
"It happened so fast. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFItwyPDOqI
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth9VEvrKqe
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xFjZCRmCV
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB7qpfnHRF
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWBRhhE5Xy
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSawmDtKLC
to herself again1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkDmVeeHkN
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXdNPanETT
The mighty hunter 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl642U9865
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXioLMve6bj
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygb44Hsfl2
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQA4iPEli9
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C7qtR4ldS
Their respite didn't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyl26CXyP7
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkJQHhX2Lp
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrlYYzXFuD
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswG7NISx0
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfhPAJVL2t
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8loXBkcQB
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiqgWEJN26
that skill to actual good use.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06D497qW6n
Thankfully their walk 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA01CKzccwW
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FZe1sWQ4s
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwjAatAtYa
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj32qVGeQk
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKg1VUZusy
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU23LgcgD0m
Gob motioned for them to1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8g9kRHx8V
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfye9ljOspm
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVfllqfE1i
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gUPWcEFb7
conveniently carried on his shoulder.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGSKjwNwrU
Fly boats were made out 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVJ37bLMs3
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsZyeQ3HwY
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcotG3fEOt4
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHkgi1Nm97
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkzPQYBHL0
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCsTr7cHs
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLptLtSTqJS
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyGR2qFpca
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr6gr50L0c
or smiled. A frown.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWcEl0ibg7
He put the boat down on 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4zGXy3sJY
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcr2RrJYFn
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jraw97c4Z
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6BlOfmjWr
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKGlSlWr8U
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgs6FQHrW4
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox8adwHv8l
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiig5DLKfZa
making his wounds ache.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE8T8a8cbR
Gob put the boat over 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBYQiS72ea
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrDRuKBjnV
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u0dbUCmWj
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ8xk43sNV
the other. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxIe4sSdAh
Gob handed David the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhneJDXjDIH
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TNlLEBjKG
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK4DvIfLek
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq4tvLU4zf
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDd066c8gG
believed this was definitely one of those fates.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMT76f9OdT
All though David did 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtf6jOFfg0
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzT5EypqKm
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdkarK3PSb
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xjFUhwrlH
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lzRPtsdQt
by the sun.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAM55jXRtf
They all disembarked, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1540XLpjvi
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQZsT8fAIY
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldIa5yUofo
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2oeZKsbdk
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTxKCr38Kv
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KOyeRRuAa
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MV9LICXek
"How do they manage to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJOWJusAf9
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L5j3zjffa
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMnHzI1Ow4
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVkgxV8ly9
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdmzhGnpGt
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcnjATrIU5
David nodded, the answer1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngKEnasfIV
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTyIN6yb6Z
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69jlO8pKof
One thing David noticed,1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1CW2SobZh
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6oj1ImhpP
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW3NpoBCPf
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rtvf7J9xD
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkYY1I6yS8
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0MNT6lNTM
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A0bQTD1Fc
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYte8DbteIq
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh6K2J3ObR
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNBCSnxAWx
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezMUxAPWBR
It made him remember 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhirUBK72w
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyibk6aluO
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sp3Xsoxa5
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDLTaTZQYD
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DPrxHVvV9
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR8hNWTa1H
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jk2vdggLV
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNg3X6uTAY
while ago.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F6fkNVWYl
Just as previously they 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ6wfcdBgD
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2DYFjjzkx
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDfClrqNbf
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM22he5Gt4
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2b0otUHw6
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuyP6e5OSh
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEzeObSLTr
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsBHNjMgid
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH18QSTYo3x
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBphomBWbpZ
David was apprehensive 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoolhbR595P
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjlWeZZEO5
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz4B858AP6
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DG8pzMxMH
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ktMkw2q4
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZsas9GXOt
Before they all turned 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo2bXlGUNQ
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe61XidA4c
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKPWON0Y4W
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC6AaFUsnO
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdEzpK0sbY
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE4gVXKiTt
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhkJrmgNvJ
Sadly the sweet dream 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT1nNP5gzN
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6cHJs8HJE
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCBopk0asb
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfJ7USY4cp
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nusMYYn0B
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSy1YogjYw
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceRs8JkIIB
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvARbhVLHx
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg5HOUM0Us
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmwV1Dn46S
David shook his head and1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvDAJ2avpe
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrN2aWs2Q8
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmuA2C6DoX
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nQtEnhr1B
too.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnoR0UrGU4
They spent the morning 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWsyLf0gdm
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz2WQiXgzK
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU44ownFN6
crowd. ~1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4xQBx4sqW
After they were all done1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FHxjm56Fj
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS0y27VtaC
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbobaEelZvb
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQS3bPhe2E
Positivity all around.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hX428BdQq
Soon they reached the 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwAiEnZNfH
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMve6Pu4gE
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0fC279FaO
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZBSxDEXQN
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDFF5Bn6JV
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4LNxJUGNe
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hvewSpm6o
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp7oKGfBLI
everyone won.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSrZp61Q9n
Gob seemed to be pretty 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlsQFh63TE
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Fv4ZjQDc
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURg0XNPbus
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzjRzy9WUM
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXig4RHFr4
making her way behind David.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyARIcBd6Z
"Where's Lev?" Gob 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Qg0Eihhz
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRQMqGrj4I
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Myurhddf
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuSeBj5VeJ
Reaching the middle 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlO92QysR
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nsZG7ip7V
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi2ovosTR8
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wrUxCbxxw
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn5Cy95Hig
and quickly put a knife to his throat.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkstHLrof2
Before David could 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KiOP6GQHb
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZkLb0HXbk
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4i6Otkec5
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER6WqHfXqk
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvnCZYywur
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDG4q0wPMp
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDzNhe1J0u
The captains facial 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzWe4UQls2
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfgwWjm8YD
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13vZpPH0KK
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmm62U7mIU
"Enough of this!" 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCgEVWWKPw
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvexyB4DqPy
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgnFoEu2Zg
towards them.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5d5A6Z1sz
David felt himself flung1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqxQtsctge
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnjxAi34Qc
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPawtWso7Rs
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRlxLrF87L
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cc0mPtogl
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lHi5QdxRM
overwhelmed him.
