"Mummy, look!" 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj3OKlBoVj
Tap, tap. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr9j7gY7Nc
"Mummy I will make you proud!" 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwujlUXIO6L
Tap, tap.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH7GO3EMTB
"Mummy, save me."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBvyzlk77U
Tap, tap.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtsugT99HM
"Alright you better shut936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfWVrn1aTo
it with the falling tapping!" David shouted as he opened his eyes and 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnu5PNoyAI
got up. Waking from his dream, for what else could it have been? 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bkkcaC9cJ
David was about to 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Z7qwhIWm
complain more but then he remembered what happened, how he fell from the936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvQKB6anr8
ship, to his apparent death. But right now he was in the middle a city 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q5s2jIFiU
or at least a shallow imitation of one. With the buildings and the 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV36TqcXVc
people just being shadowy reflections of the real world, but still 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RoLUXL9jN
eerily lifelike.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB07Jc0auRh
Then it clicked, the 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14QiCbPHtO
ramshackle buildings, the crooked streets, dark alleyways guarded only 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMUnDMoPfX
by footpads and thieves. Shadowy humans begging and fighting. Stumbling 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWsK5eyopN
around drunk. David was back in the Havenport slums, his home. A home he936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZQeKU9con
left around 20 years ago when he boarded his first ship. Why was he 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVlb3GjkIo
back? Was he dead after all? 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY28Ta5siZF
All of those thoughts, 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXgOMGcnCF
and more, were racing through Davids mind. As he was trying to gather 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn0NBFHSy2
his wits, he heard laughter from...not behind exactly but everywhere.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiK0IbHfzO
"Ah! Perfect you finally awoke!" David tried turning towards the voice but couldn't quite pinpoint where it was coming from.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffu8932m8g
"Ah, apologies. The ether world makes everything quite fuzzy." 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63MbDNCPTs
David fell backwards out of fear as a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him. "Spirit! G..ghost! Demon!"936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BEGKWzowS
"There, there. Get it 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMAmhrjlXg
all out." The being said in an amused voice. Was it even amused? David, 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aMDloD8ND
again, could not pinpoint the exact tone of voice. It sounded as if it 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBk9APoQwX
was echoing both in his mind and in this city. Hitting the walls making 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofM6pGJhn6
the voice both louder and yet quieter. The voice had both male and 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIsbuAPZwe
female aspects to it as some parts sounded quite high pitched while 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgzZJqVQNb
others sounded low pitched. Both happy and sad, amused and disappointed.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpr86KsHUA
It was quite disconcerting. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLsH4M06AP
"All done now?" The 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeZN3HuOUN
apparition asked, smiling. Or was it smiling? As David got back up he 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdy4PiIdof
got a better look at his new friend. Or at least at the parts that he 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj4ZFBnIhY
could see. Its face was covered in... something that looked like mist. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduwDDWY6Bf
David was unable to properly distinguish the features. Whether it was 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEFBwnEJM2
smiling or crying David would never be able to tell.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh8mJo2TGn
Its clothes were quite 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJojmtMIMH
weird as well. Wearing a top hat which seemed both as tall as the person936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZZGSDjHfR
wearing it and as short as Davids own pinky. Its body was covered in a 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq2UFoEH5q
dark shroud going from the shoulders to feet and every time it moved it 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkt19HFw5p
changed both color and shape.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepy6gtRuQu
The figure tilted its 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf556EZuljL
head and moved his hands as the tapping noise continued. Concentrating 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1bgh9YSXH
on the lower part of the body David could see a thin shape of an object 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGjHwYRlzj
that looked like a stick. A cane? A walking stick? Who knew?936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kI6BjM0L7
"The tapping, was that you?" David said as the tapping noise surrounded them again echoing as if they were in a cave.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnYbob0bqV
"Indeed" 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPqRtgEnVu
Tap, tap, tap.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZnqyImPLb
David flinched at the 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH4ImjqxFk
sound. He wanted to shout at the ghost to stop the tapping. To answer 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvFWx9hG4
where he was and what was happening. But there was a power dynamic here,936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaawiECIus
as in everything else in life. During the years he learned that there 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImg5Zdo0wx
are three types of people: Leaders, followers and parasites (a handy 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47C0X1ZEUY
word he learned from a scholar, turned pirate, in his earlier forays 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2G6Gh3GOG
into piracy)936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCcLPfcje9
Leaders and followers 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyeDCCKdSs
were self-explanatory. David, meanwhile, considered himself a parasite. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3t7rbAIDm
Parasites attached themselves to either a leader or a follower. Making 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rbwqatcKI
them believe you were on their side, that you were one of them. And then936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbedRf56Jmi
when that person gives you everything you need you leave and attach 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOh8NqqqEJ
yourself to someone else.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHixNPCDu
This was not so 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoejUDWpnL
different, David was the parasite and the person in front of him was the936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U8eH4H8Kb
leader. He was in charge of the situation so David had to attach 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bOTzP8BiX
himself to him or her. Had to make them believe he was on their side or 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4uyJIhEnQ
harmless or whatever the situation called for. After all no one is 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLEbCp3MEb
immune to flattery, be it gods or ghosts.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXchP9MC6F
"I'm sure I'd have the pleasure of your acquaintance, if I knew your name?" He ventured slightly bobbing his head.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyzibHUXQG
The figure gave a 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomsSUmRcuT
chuckle, which sounded as if glass shattering. "Ah yes, you will suck up936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0MwBHiGbo
to me trying to win me over and then hopefully gain an advantage. I've 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu3rxGL2cH
been watching you, David Oxtorne, lying and never revealing your true 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDR5NRT3Xb
self. Being a friend to some, an arrogant bastard to others whatever 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIphC2yLqp
would get them to like or accept you." A pause and the figure looked to 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb7GkvafPd
the side. "I've no time for your games; otherwise I would've loved for 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mDxnZPGFR
you to grovel and try to win favor. For now call me...Jester." Jester 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCEQoU4ux2
laughed, as if saying a grand joke that David wasn't part of.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WNtO3W46U
David looked at him 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwav1bQPrQ
puzzled adding his own awkward laugh to Jesters. This...Jester certainly936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hRYQ1l0Ve
liked to laugh a lot, although David was failing to find any funny 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4bzaeEzr1
jokes. "Nice to meet you Jester." David was about to say more but he was936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dw8OH5pLq
interrupted by a raised hand.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwyymkLi1J
"Yes, yes you're a slow 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F9S0fnBvr
learner aren't you? We will need to change that. You want to ask where 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypK9wI7Fdc
you are and whatnot. So let me answer that for you. You're in the ether 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY6cmcxYCg
world. You're not dead because I saved you. Your body is laying asleep 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLfWTAji2p
so you're here only in your consciousness. Not a lot of giftless can do 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVOdVPid6m
that, you should feel dead honored"936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtwfmUFEfT
David was having trouble936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vPowvfK32
following jester. But one thing he understood was that you didn't save 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHbIEwhPvd
someone's life unless you got something out of it."wha..."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FvJGRQT7e
But David didn't get to 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTlaI2UnR2
finish as jester continued." Not done yet was I? Your next question is, 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4D2WeQFaa
probably: 'what do you want in return for saving my life?' Which 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CJZIzWOnc
honestly David hurts, just hurts. Don't you think I'm a generous soul?"936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzAAk8W2vz
A pause, David was 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfgSaclBSw
unsure what to do and begun to answer but the figure kept on talking." 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeG7HlGf8Z
Of course I'm not. Suffice to say I will need you to find something. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPI2ulWz4n
Can't tell you what yet but others will be hunting for it too" 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfP9pvAs50
Jester made a clock 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoTdKpvu4K
appear in front and nodded...probably." Well that's all from me. We'll 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD8S9Nsphc
meet again once you've met the other chosen ones. I'll explain more 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSAcyphfQC
then, hopefully you'll be better company by then. Or else I've chosen 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlI1iAcnX
quite wrong, quite wrong indeed."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nSlgNNsPu
David was about to ask 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuc9J2eVN
more questions but then he heard a whisper. He looked at jester first 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUgVzPzPZ0
but as far as David could tell it wasn't his doing, which didn't 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4G04NuDj9
convince David at all.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPRHtgVp1D
"Hey I...body..." a voice echoed. Sounding human. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA62xBkrMUe
And then his world shook, all the shadows dissipating, as if swept away by the wind.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rlov5WB2a
"I am watching, my chosen. Make it interesting for me." Jesters voice resounded within Davids head as darkness fell again.
