"Evil? Evil is 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUFFHtxz43
subjective, my good man. What is evil to us might be perfectly normal to542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXC4dzrd6s
them. Who are we to judge what is evil or what is good?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjNg5kulr2
Captain Rourke, trying 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XHW4c5jzR
to prevent a massacre on Rourke isle. His crew stumbled upon natives who542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXm3awkMH6
were sacrificing their own young. The quote was written down by one of 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnCtu9nhEV
his crewmembers.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2safjKk1Aa

Seconds, minutes, days, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QmpY9KiPz
months. Time passed. David could hear the sound of a lock, tick..tock, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG2ah81w61
silently going inside his own head. A 100 ticks, 500 tocks, more than a542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WGRkjjjqG
thousand of tick tocks.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AMN39Rd4A
Finally David turned 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVEdhutXhB
away from his own reflection and the Darkness shattered revealing Jester542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcD4b6Yw0k
and the grey sky, littered with various paths leading to damnation, for542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ804dVImerP
what else could be the end, but that?542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB0PSoLOoL
Jester himself had 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn4AVE5t6F
changed as well, at first David couldn't place him but then he knew. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqujSNwdObP
Jester looked like David. With eyes full of life and hope, no scars 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U4W1vLKUc
riddling that body, to David it seemed like a parody of him, but also of542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlcqlVqrdu
what he could've been if his life didn't turn the way it had.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRjyfOD2R2
"That last vision. What was it?" David finally asked, looking away from Jester.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gLA1f12tJ
"A vision of what could've been and a test." Jester walked to stand beside David, who still refused to look at him.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTzmWQRQwh
David didn't reply. He 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpkaXcUgLY
waited for Jester to continue by himself. "All you've seen was the truth542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEvV142tDz
and at the end I wanted to show you what destiny took away from you."542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfJFcL6Yyw
"I don't believe in 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6EFT5tXec
destiny." Davids attention wandered as he saw two shadows, one big and 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzQZDVCOq
one small flickering in the sky until fully disappearing.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE3b9CzOej
Jester chuckled. "Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We're all just pawns in a bigger game."542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjfd3hnJsa
"The only pawn was me, letting you manipulate me." Surprisingly David didn't feel any anger towards the fact.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLAfZsylGT
"And I'm a pawn of 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1MFGbYiUo
someone else, and that...someone is yet another pawn. And so it goes and542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzdLggDLS4
goes." Jester appeared in front of David and grabbed his shoulders, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51UbSdC25M
holding him in refusal to turn away from the truth. "I manipulated you 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPZYtsoLbC
so you can rise above being a pawn, above being a king or a player. I 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUd7WRuZF
want you to rise above the game and destroy it, together with everyone 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOauBi1IPLP
on the board. You want that aswell don't you?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4NIItwHpw
Broken bottles, tears, a happy family flashed in Davids mind for a second and then it passed. "..Yes"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA0HgFI0EW
Jester gave a sigh of relief. "Perfect, then..." Before Jester could proceed David interrupted him. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzUSXM3ouG
"No, first tell me why. Why do you want to die? Why were you there when I was born? Why...me?" 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpheX3DL9F
"I've been dead for a 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ydzdRbh5
while now, this is just an echo of me. A fade ghost, whatever you want 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJfuneBoG
to call me, my life is not my own..." Before Jester could continue his 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKDFnxYFoh
form faded but then flickered back to life. "No...that's enough for now,542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVK7PFjZUx
can't reveal everything. To answer your second question it was just 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgc9nlTKrT
luck, I was close by in the fade when you died and I attached myself to 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J3QYl0Ofi
you. I guess that answers your last question as well, doesn't it? It was542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0l2tXIizg
just luck."542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjIkZv73X9
"If destiny exists, then it wasn't luck was it?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwYDzxWUjL
Jester laughed. "Such a 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpI5xHQl7M
narrow view, it'll change in time." He paused. "Destiny is not a narrow 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohL7UJp7KJ
path. Destiny is a wide road, a road that leads us to where it wants to 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyS3ngke3r
go, yet on that road we can move. We can take a side path, we can 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4xiXCGjwI
stumble or stop and on that wide road there's definitely room for luck. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6BXBjxI9Z
Do you understand now?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhn6Xwof4W
"All I understand is 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yR6lPv7Us
that you've no idea what you're talking about." First Jester talks about542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvFdSJrPke
destiny as a player in a board game and now he defines it as a road. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp0JLdHwhQ
Can't he keep it to one metaphor.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BvU6oZ0E8
David sighted, this is pointless to get stuck on. "I'm guessing the artifact somehow helps with that?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8IlAOgaFb
Jester nodded. "Yes, it 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFqUP0J30O
will unite your material and ether body. Most of your scars and injuries542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFte7nkps1
will heal and you'll be able to travel between the realms at 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vgo2E3tkb
will...Might also do some other things aswell."542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPNOXa06FW
"Why not get it 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02yDxSisev
yourself? If it lets you travel between" David waved his arms. "This and542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZTpymN4u2
the real world, I'm sure it'd be useful to you too?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTqgFJXwh5
"I've no physical body, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwwNxukXwX
the artifact might have effect on me but it might not. My interactions 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwKw0sRmCZ
with the physical realm is limited anyway, even if it does resonate in 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojq4AHShvS
the ether I'm not sure I'd be able to pick it up."542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDmaKRZDIq
David shook his head, so542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcwvq2vKkx
many things he didn't understand, so many questions he still wanted to 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl8PZ12SaW
ask. He took a good look at his own image standing in front of him and 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmu1pEL5Lq
knew he couldn't trust Jester, after all, turns out, he never could 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7uk5cPqF8
trust himself. But he knew his path and knew where it would lead him.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgaz4vfHT3
"How do I find it then? What even is it?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIOF40Y3HQ
Jester moved away from 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLzoONi4EJ
David and snapped his fingers. David was plunged to his knee as a vision542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ypnpH2gZu
swam in his head. An isle, a cavern, a glowing dagger on an altar. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFHEiGX84u
"You know where it is now. But so do the other chosen. Couldn't be 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46fSNWMZjA
helped."542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQxtsqJq5v
David shrugged getting up from the ground, it would make it harder but he'd find a way, he always did.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7BbJrP9h9
"I'll create a 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJnuVhEpGJ
distraction, use it to escape. I should be able to get the keys close 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaJ906AZnH
enough for you to take them." Jester paused and looked at a distance 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2vFpo7tlO
where there were different lights flashing. "It's probably the last time542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtY9xsZki
we'll speak like this. Good luck, David. Kill us all."542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68QFr3rYsp
David awoke, everything 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxb5JbxU7U
hitting him at once. All the pain moving across his body, scars and 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ6xKsTW2Q
wounds burning as if they were just made. David barely managed to subdue542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCWfBovrD1
his scream. A scream of pain, but also of happiness, he finally had an 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY83eYkUfr
objective, a purpose and he would accomplish it. That purpose gave him 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTusk6t0eu
the power and will to overcome the pain as he stood up.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp66SzuElPr
Looking around David 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVxPHUyHsj
could see new, still wet, blood stains on the floor, in and right 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ199SvarsTt
outside of the cell. He imagined those were his. David tried grabbing 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMHFXdrRZc
the cell door with both of his hands, to steady himself, but only 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStdyFv8caD
managed with one as his left stump just brushed off the bars.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p5nyYYGGj
David could hear the 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqXmWQi5UU
jailer walking across and stopped in front of David's cell. He began 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbhf0CILXa
saying something but his voice was drowned out as an explosion shook the542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWtCxo1lRs
whole hallway. David stumbled, his grip slipping from the bars and fell542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMSEr47SfC
on the floor, barely staying conscious as the pain renewed. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd46hiytvbI
Atleast he was alive, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL0cHgTfJJ
which was more than he could say for the jailer, a puddle of blood 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SOqxLlplL
forming around his head. David grabbed the jailers body and pulled it so542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSgr3xLIH0
he could reach the keychain around the waist. It took some effort with 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltL5WKxiIC
one hand but David managed to finally reach it. Finding the correct key 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp0YEFOu43
and opening the door with body infront of it was even harder, but with a542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vgTCubRhb
grunt of effort David was finally free.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu6eayroFe
David heard a cough from the neighbor cell and could see a body covered in bruises and blood stirring. "Still alive, huh?"542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5i8Mk83iz
David recognized Gobs 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1oz9pm1QC
voice if not the man himself. David thought about leaving him inside the542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG48RU2vuS
cell, but after barely making a step he knew he'd need all the help he 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo4wkRPH9s
could get. He limped to Gobs cell and opened the door. David was hoping542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpa9lh4xH0
Gob would limp aswell, or atleast have trouble getting up, but the 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfbTM0IXlT
infuriating man stood up as if nothing happened to him and swaggered out542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46BU0uiHyF
of his cell.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoqDFoeqi8
"Well let's get to it." Gob said as he started searching the jailer, finding a pistol and a short sword.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU32UvkxEB
"Did they tell you what 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5NqFbFflg
happened to Angela?" Gob asked, carefully heading down the hallway and 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxMibkH0jt
leaning out of the only door leading into the ship proper.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7JcnDdQw0
"She's dead. At least that's what they implied." David answered, slowly following Gob.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwf53AEPPI
Gob nodded and together 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNS8zn8P1a
with David left the brig. The ship itself reminded David of the flying 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu5VpYr5wi
fish, as fire and steam was raging all over the ship and some 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLlRZWHMWB
crewmembers caught unaware were lying on the floor either unconscious or542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g2SkQMEYL
barely so.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSRnMNKXUS
They moved a short 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKz63Lgzbf
distance ignoring the crew who didn't get in their way but still being 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GwXeMicyn
careful slipping from shadow to shadow. Or at least David try to slip, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB20ckjPhIO
with the wounds he was much less graceful than he wanted to be.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVygg3EsUbn
Surprisingly there were 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheN3i3MUit
only a few soldiers who were out and about, and most were too busy 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoB6StJpPP
trying to control the damage, so Gob and David managed to successfully 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCWGx2Ss59
avoid any fights while looking for a way out and by that they meant any 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srZNOGQVk
hole big enough to lead them outside as they couldn't leisurely look for542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloSTEWvpw7
the doors.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XB8DyeS8
Luckily they managed to 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAaKOaev7i
find an opening, most likely created by an explosion as it was 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLog2jkv2K
surrounded by fire, that didn't dissuade Gob who jumped through the fire542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrn23cQlkd
into the outside. David, taking a deep breathe, followed him. Luckily 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NN9yZF80u
he only got a bit singed as the sunlight hit his skin.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2HXydFe5E
"Hey! Who're you!" A shout came from David's side.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLy0Lfs8Qe
"Demon Spawn." Gob muttered and rushed the three soldiers with his pistol and shortsword.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nxc12Zw7f
The guards were as 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Ecy3bdOY
surprised as David and didn't manage to react until Gob rammed his sword542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65aQ79QJNP
into the middle one's chest. Before the body even hit the floor Gob 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttwYzH27tz
span around and shot the guard on the left with his pistol, as the man 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV4jyfwcst
was just taking out his own weapon. However Gob didn't manage to stop 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiaqXLlsA0
the last guard from stabbing him in the back. As the sword was taken 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMHmEXOlTa
out, though, Gob quickly moved his waist and backhanded the soldier, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNIHMrhLx0
causing him to stagger.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBUJcnCDfi
That seemed to be the 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIrTrnbNia
last of his energy reserves as Gob finally fell on the ground. His 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1RCOnz7cI
opponent, while still reeling from the blow took advantage and kicked 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKL234jkxJ
Gob in the face, and kept kicking.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9s7FyHQX
All of that only lasted 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8pha11Q3P
seconds. David finally noticed his moment to act, as the soldier was 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ180wu8YWkJ
paying attention to only Gob. Thus he sneaked behind the soldier, while 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU2pKfg8gt
picking up one of the discarded swords, and stabbed him in the neck, 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhsXsRJH1T
just like he stabbed his mother, at first the kicking continued but soon542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYv42ANebR
enough the man noticed blood coming out of his mouth and neck. David 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaBM4poq5L
pulled out the sword and pushed the guard back, who, having no strength 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvcJIAGiYc
left, fell down and bled out slowly.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cMe4jV0Cn
David looked down at Gob and offered him his hand. Gob refused it, instead deciding to pull himself up.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmuxCn1WN0
"Thanks." Gob said 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrExT3geKqD
gruffly, obviously unaccustomed to the word. "Now that we're outghg..." 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjFn4WKDRA
But his last words were drowned out by blood as he found a sword 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVlLM9xdcJ
piercing his neck.542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5GEbj8i5Y
"That's one promise 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrwDB4R2Rm
kept." David said as he pulled out his sword, watching Gob falling, his 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfhYtOOVui
eyes slowly draining of all radiance. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWmPb5Gx5W
After the hulking man 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK09Jfzv7o3
fell David quickly collected more weapons and bullets. While the 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupMzysB8oX
fighting didn't make too much noise, he didn't see a point in staying 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjWIYTSrj
near an enemy ship. Thus everything, he could carry, collected, he 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBBPTC243q
quickly proceeded to walk away from the ship, into the nearby forest. 542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOCijk7UXQ
His objective clear in his head and his will stronger than ever.
