"Mummy, look!" 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT2xY2hpGP
Tap, tap. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMam2jqCq1
"Mummy I will make you proud!" 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hBjdOGOIT
Tap, tap.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYGu1dOLeF
"Mummy, save me."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVARRNU6zd
Tap, tap.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv9en56EyI
"Alright you better shut608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHImKWuWQK
it with the falling tapping!" David shouted as he opened his eyes and 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMKFy3QvTI
got up. Waking from his dream, for what else could it have been? 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTeACgr6Mj
David was about to 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPkiKKYmYz
complain more but then he remembered what happened, how he fell from the608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5QaTAl0rq
ship, to his apparent death. But right now he was in the middle a city 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kkJHJsDnE
or at least a shallow imitation of one. With the buildings and the 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbQuyzHPAk
people just being shadowy reflections of the real world, but still 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR9XCIA7AI
eerily lifelike.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYUrJlj2RB
Then it clicked, the 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD2zCSi4ya
ramshackle buildings, the crooked streets, dark alleyways guarded only 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRdYhgVQRZ
by footpads and thieves. Shadowy humans begging and fighting. Stumbling 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9HTIQFlpn
around drunk. David was back in the Havenport slums, his home. A home he608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQlx3sWGEv
left around 20 years ago when he boarded his first ship. Why was he 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6LY6g6prN
back? Was he dead after all? 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCQTIM0RBL
All of those thoughts, 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwXv2e5j7L
and more, were racing through Davids mind. As he was trying to gather 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVehedQyJn
his wits, he heard laughter from...not behind exactly but everywhere.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCcJl8roZ8
"Ah! Perfect you finally awoke!" David tried turning towards the voice but couldn't quite pinpoint where it was coming from.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjluAwo8Td
"Ah, apologies. The ether world makes everything quite fuzzy." 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgwVOOp6jH
David fell backwards out of fear as a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him. "Spirit! G..ghost! Demon!"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgP2bHwEIM
"There, there. Get it 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpem2JeIQZ
all out." The being said in an amused voice. Was it even amused? David, 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMOxHAHKZH
again, could not pinpoint the exact tone of voice. It sounded as if it 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaczC0Z1UP
was echoing both in his mind and in this city. Hitting the walls making 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZoNwjEBNt
the voice both louder and yet quieter. The voice had both male and 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9TpslqYrb
female aspects to it as some parts sounded quite high pitched while 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v973hyfaY
others sounded low pitched. Both happy and sad, amused and disappointed.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonLBmZqqIY
It was quite disconcerting. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIxcsYDyMZ
"All done now?" The 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBE25UqhLn
apparition asked, smiling. Or was it smiling? As David got back up he 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmYrQI3zvh
got a better look at his new friend. Or at least at the parts that he 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDOWHS9ukp
could see. Its face was covered in... something that looked like mist. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rbKaLgIj2
David was unable to properly distinguish the features. Whether it was 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6kKe9GxPL
smiling or crying David would never be able to tell.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT1UFqyCzI
Its clothes were quite 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW4fEbnig7
weird as well. Wearing a top hat which seemed both as tall as the person608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI04KLeJuO
wearing it and as short as Davids own pinky. Its body was covered in a 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3kTaFYCUd
dark shroud going from the shoulders to feet and every time it moved it 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXYmtjGrp
changed both color and shape.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGzgUD5ZqH
The figure tilted its 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcBxwb19h3
head and moved his hands as the tapping noise continued. Concentrating 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfrU2D3csE
on the lower part of the body David could see a thin shape of an object 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebEUctxz6l
that looked like a stick. A cane? A walking stick? Who knew?608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV8XOGcV7R
"The tapping, was that you?" David said as the tapping noise surrounded them again echoing as if they were in a cave.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d4YVPt2zk
"Indeed" 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPz9QY9JCz
Tap, tap, tap.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKvaRq1BdQ
David flinched at the 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0n2ojrL3w
sound. He wanted to shout at the ghost to stop the tapping. To answer 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBQliW0Aro
where he was and what was happening. But there was a power dynamic here,608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk35x3nT0o
as in everything else in life. During the years he learned that there 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV8GDIPga1
are three types of people: Leaders, followers and parasites (a handy 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcc2NwowvY
word he learned from a scholar, turned pirate, in his earlier forays 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqttFma7WVr
into piracy)608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqCVyyQuf
Leaders and followers 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgbPJyFTU1
were self-explanatory. David, meanwhile, considered himself a parasite. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK01HvEFmH
Parasites attached themselves to either a leader or a follower. Making 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35NRamZjsN
them believe you were on their side, that you were one of them. And then608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIZiiXrFiu
when that person gives you everything you need you leave and attach 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpv8Mlx7wf
yourself to someone else.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyZfEcixrh
This was not so 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9YNjaOC7O
different, David was the parasite and the person in front of him was the608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjYw6hk3fn
leader. He was in charge of the situation so David had to attach 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBZ8npU5d7
himself to him or her. Had to make them believe he was on their side or 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WdkTqIYMc
harmless or whatever the situation called for. After all no one is 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLyWPFEydo
immune to flattery, be it gods or ghosts.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHuLUw8in
"I'm sure I'd have the pleasure of your acquaintance, if I knew your name?" He ventured slightly bobbing his head.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcOK4mYnxl
The figure gave a 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBZZ6kZswY
chuckle, which sounded as if glass shattering. "Ah yes, you will suck up608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AMoAud53X
to me trying to win me over and then hopefully gain an advantage. I've 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU0vzUKPk2
been watching you, David Oxtorne, lying and never revealing your true 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQekmHmafyG
self. Being a friend to some, an arrogant bastard to others whatever 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseB6DaxaTf
would get them to like or accept you." A pause and the figure looked to 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp5t3mVyVX
the side. "I've no time for your games; otherwise I would've loved for 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5DKpSBPaL
you to grovel and try to win favor. For now call me...Jester." Jester 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt7fKLcXPR
laughed, as if saying a grand joke that David wasn't part of.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1U0twhQ0Y
David looked at him 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ERbzWCBfo
puzzled adding his own awkward laugh to Jesters. This...Jester certainly608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrg9SXZzBp
liked to laugh a lot, although David was failing to find any funny 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmTpljeXQX
jokes. "Nice to meet you Jester." David was about to say more but he was608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz0gvCHGpl
interrupted by a raised hand.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV6ibbBXIG
"Yes, yes you're a slow 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2kZr4K2uo
learner aren't you? We will need to change that. You want to ask where 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAfb7BIsd
you are and whatnot. So let me answer that for you. You're in the ether 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXV6f6ql8e
world. You're not dead because I saved you. Your body is laying asleep 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCpAMTnq5F
so you're here only in your consciousness. Not a lot of giftless can do 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFYZRtWXDl
that, you should feel dead honored"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBvh5pjuHS
David was having trouble608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKxwwAegWD
following jester. But one thing he understood was that you didn't save 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeD5pERSGi
someone's life unless you got something out of it."wha..."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbi1swQwFi
But David didn't get to 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuM2Ubm0zh
finish as jester continued." Not done yet was I? Your next question is, 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6DurzVnhg
probably: 'what do you want in return for saving my life?' Which 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfUynS3P37
honestly David hurts, just hurts. Don't you think I'm a generous soul?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ5kRcZek1
A pause, David was 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaNXoKNE8U
unsure what to do and begun to answer but the figure kept on talking." 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27zT3f50V
Of course I'm not. Suffice to say I will need you to find something. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkxcNXleNK
Can't tell you what yet but others will be hunting for it too" 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Iw7iMQ4T
Jester made a clock 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bjrlFsTS7
appear in front and nodded...probably." Well that's all from me. We'll 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1vqokweG
meet again once you've met the other chosen ones. I'll explain more 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovt7X7UvH2
then, hopefully you'll be better company by then. Or else I've chosen 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhXllLJfPN
quite wrong, quite wrong indeed."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lqcx1gVb2
David was about to ask 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3N0b6Oygw
more questions but then he heard a whisper. He looked at jester first 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6MrMREgZM
but as far as David could tell it wasn't his doing, which didn't 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkUvLADtYd
convince David at all.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCjJSOr6bU
"Hey I...body..." a voice echoed. Sounding human. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRgxj05cAn
And then his world shook, all the shadows dissipating, as if swept away by the wind.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuNd4a7aIk
"I am watching, my chosen. Make it interesting for me." Jesters voice resounded within Davids head as darkness fell again.
