"Mummy, look!" 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU099nX7yDb
Tap, tap. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuHCeOjiv0
"Mummy I will make you proud!" 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdjdknB6jS
Tap, tap.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS034cXfr4X
"Mummy, save me."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQgcoT8Rd6
Tap, tap.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9evx4gUdS
"Alright you better shut675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ks9aO4k8C
it with the falling tapping!" David shouted as he opened his eyes and 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7mBSBGk3j
got up. Waking from his dream, for what else could it have been? 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RPkVivjKh
David was about to 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfP0YSYq8S
complain more but then he remembered what happened, how he fell from the675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIad8GkSCwr
ship, to his apparent death. But right now he was in the middle a city 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPTCaYz0I
or at least a shallow imitation of one. With the buildings and the 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnJQY2xr4T
people just being shadowy reflections of the real world, but still 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMyxRH43Sp
eerily lifelike.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qdUpHpBb4
Then it clicked, the 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwerHakeYVs
ramshackle buildings, the crooked streets, dark alleyways guarded only 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6hEFtcfo
by footpads and thieves. Shadowy humans begging and fighting. Stumbling 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mFJKiguQt
around drunk. David was back in the Havenport slums, his home. A home he675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKe4TfaVx
left around 20 years ago when he boarded his first ship. Why was he 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBM76olBwE
back? Was he dead after all? 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzUdRHNQBj
All of those thoughts, 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TAjhmDMpD
and more, were racing through Davids mind. As he was trying to gather 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFBDw2BlsR
his wits, he heard laughter from...not behind exactly but everywhere.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbogeReLHZ
"Ah! Perfect you finally awoke!" David tried turning towards the voice but couldn't quite pinpoint where it was coming from.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEcUEFmzXT
"Ah, apologies. The ether world makes everything quite fuzzy." 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAlIu8cf0a
David fell backwards out of fear as a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him. "Spirit! G..ghost! Demon!"675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHikJEgLnN5
"There, there. Get it 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0x1EINZ8c
all out." The being said in an amused voice. Was it even amused? David, 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDuMHDKTSJ
again, could not pinpoint the exact tone of voice. It sounded as if it 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0TiOZrw88
was echoing both in his mind and in this city. Hitting the walls making 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0jChlFyBK
the voice both louder and yet quieter. The voice had both male and 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXfRbjBOZL
female aspects to it as some parts sounded quite high pitched while 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyToIxFrS5x
others sounded low pitched. Both happy and sad, amused and disappointed.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAyVtM7CoQ
It was quite disconcerting. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuvkkMg6Hl
"All done now?" The 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszxD9hnBeL
apparition asked, smiling. Or was it smiling? As David got back up he 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaGGlOHDL3
got a better look at his new friend. Or at least at the parts that he 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbcu1RZt3c
could see. Its face was covered in... something that looked like mist. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfwMB8pqeB
David was unable to properly distinguish the features. Whether it was 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLeEcK6d1X
smiling or crying David would never be able to tell.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWCkhuUDbh
Its clothes were quite 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6wbVv0Pxe
weird as well. Wearing a top hat which seemed both as tall as the person675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdC1XmGN0I
wearing it and as short as Davids own pinky. Its body was covered in a 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIxGmBlauC
dark shroud going from the shoulders to feet and every time it moved it 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cFnuvpvbi
changed both color and shape.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOxGfSBYeE
The figure tilted its 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL5rqcaWD3
head and moved his hands as the tapping noise continued. Concentrating 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH01wk0dwMM
on the lower part of the body David could see a thin shape of an object 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuwhA5SRrd
that looked like a stick. A cane? A walking stick? Who knew?675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcTFobuu7w
"The tapping, was that you?" David said as the tapping noise surrounded them again echoing as if they were in a cave.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwnCaSHP4Y
"Indeed" 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyP60RPNqm
Tap, tap, tap.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE9BRMM7YA
David flinched at the 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiXeLr2x4i
sound. He wanted to shout at the ghost to stop the tapping. To answer 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQljIsw7bk
where he was and what was happening. But there was a power dynamic here,675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8alm9d9I9U
as in everything else in life. During the years he learned that there 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZvvEcshm4
are three types of people: Leaders, followers and parasites (a handy 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2bcHWtrzg
word he learned from a scholar, turned pirate, in his earlier forays 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxTd8KWNP9
into piracy)675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjWxzERff
Leaders and followers 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8OCjpLlr7
were self-explanatory. David, meanwhile, considered himself a parasite. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WD9XkRdrv
Parasites attached themselves to either a leader or a follower. Making 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSKn3gv3Td
them believe you were on their side, that you were one of them. And then675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vEYegYIqZ
when that person gives you everything you need you leave and attach 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz9YerW7gA
yourself to someone else.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNniszRmeof
This was not so 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLQIZEcd7F
different, David was the parasite and the person in front of him was the675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YshX8BOXM
leader. He was in charge of the situation so David had to attach 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqwV9jyuuh
himself to him or her. Had to make them believe he was on their side or 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThKUIfM7SW
harmless or whatever the situation called for. After all no one is 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6yllQpd5N
immune to flattery, be it gods or ghosts.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTV8cpLCG2
"I'm sure I'd have the pleasure of your acquaintance, if I knew your name?" He ventured slightly bobbing his head.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2yTzb4LLd
The figure gave a 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrkE1WPRB9
chuckle, which sounded as if glass shattering. "Ah yes, you will suck up675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg44eStPzbW
to me trying to win me over and then hopefully gain an advantage. I've 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSsASq7F5c
been watching you, David Oxtorne, lying and never revealing your true 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSjTcYyiHi
self. Being a friend to some, an arrogant bastard to others whatever 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWB5XKnOXu
would get them to like or accept you." A pause and the figure looked to 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJUxFsvyyE
the side. "I've no time for your games; otherwise I would've loved for 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx5GMXvgMo
you to grovel and try to win favor. For now call me...Jester." Jester 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnoKhk3Wc5
laughed, as if saying a grand joke that David wasn't part of.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnSqTqUNd
David looked at him 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs04ARZEic
puzzled adding his own awkward laugh to Jesters. This...Jester certainly675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMzutOHHqj
liked to laugh a lot, although David was failing to find any funny 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNKeHsKZnZ
jokes. "Nice to meet you Jester." David was about to say more but he was675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy4UDAFA8A
interrupted by a raised hand.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxQYJ4NfnG
"Yes, yes you're a slow 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtylCD0koI
learner aren't you? We will need to change that. You want to ask where 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmZGdxjnFM
you are and whatnot. So let me answer that for you. You're in the ether 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFGZqtTcjT
world. You're not dead because I saved you. Your body is laying asleep 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOokWa4e4xY
so you're here only in your consciousness. Not a lot of giftless can do 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt1tIWMlMI
that, you should feel dead honored"675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa3uvkGijL
David was having trouble675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5krRCDyvGk
following jester. But one thing he understood was that you didn't save 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsRtB8f3Oz
someone's life unless you got something out of it."wha..."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXUWCbReDT
But David didn't get to 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6MvcPLJ7E
finish as jester continued." Not done yet was I? Your next question is, 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy4phJ2z2Y
probably: 'what do you want in return for saving my life?' Which 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvEJLr2Qhc
honestly David hurts, just hurts. Don't you think I'm a generous soul?"675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi8KIs4vsZ
A pause, David was 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX929SPyYH
unsure what to do and begun to answer but the figure kept on talking." 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJDbus5Gkz
Of course I'm not. Suffice to say I will need you to find something. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ986TU1YVE2
Can't tell you what yet but others will be hunting for it too" 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5erEd9KPL1
Jester made a clock 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ghZhy39b5
appear in front and nodded...probably." Well that's all from me. We'll 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3d2uieeGZ
meet again once you've met the other chosen ones. I'll explain more 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESBNHMA9ZE
then, hopefully you'll be better company by then. Or else I've chosen 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTOjRL97H4
quite wrong, quite wrong indeed."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZDXne0VMj
David was about to ask 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqK9uF1zBN
more questions but then he heard a whisper. He looked at jester first 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoex90wzAPb
but as far as David could tell it wasn't his doing, which didn't 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcfxwzXhaG
convince David at all.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlybApDM6yv
"Hey I...body..." a voice echoed. Sounding human. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ10qGlcUU
And then his world shook, all the shadows dissipating, as if swept away by the wind.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW20OnFe5S8
"I am watching, my chosen. Make it interesting for me." Jesters voice resounded within Davids head as darkness fell again.
