"Ugh" 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbQX8yFFBW
"Shh, he's coming to"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeMxk6f6wv
David slowly opened his 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjk3X3byUr
eye but as he did so he was blinded by the sun, so doing the most 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtBgTI5aUe
logical thing a one eyed man could do, he went to cover his last eye 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCUEqOuhOQ
last so that he'd become blind.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnETQ7pjO3
Sadly someone didn't 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBG0o2zCCA
like that idea all that much as David was kicked before he could 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbfi3lqVBc
properly move his arm and was pinched to the ground. "Don't move!" Came a715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkeoPg767l
gruff voice.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxy2NHRsBL
David braved opening his715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8bVzfkPTb
eye and was greeted by a black hole, looking beyond that he could see 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4TPVmvtXA
the metallic shape that belonged to a musket and looking even beyond 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZDZjpO5hC
that he could see a human shape, staring at him with unblinking, dark 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEKq6c58OM
eyes. "Who might you be?" Came the gruff voice again. David wasn't able 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYejo05liy
to discern whether the voice came from his friend with a gun there or 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ6Vr6IYNq
someone else. David could see his jaw move but not the mouth itself as 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sx9IntaPl
it was covered too much with a beard.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNyCCPoCcI
"A friend, especially to715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlRbgAdLuh
those who hold guns to my head." David risked a smile, usually humor 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlIEQhGlpq
and a light attitude would get him out of most situation or at least 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAexnbRSN7
ease the tensions enough for David to get an in. People tend to 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4nJIkVOFj
underestimate you, when they believe you're just a fool. Sadly this 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvosP2SqzoW
didn't seem to have worked with this particular type of character as the715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJdV0rKRw8
pressure on his arm increased.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWuT4yZSBY
"Ow, ow. Shit!" David exclaimed. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Br6IlHPnt
"Now, again, who are you?" The voice came once more "I won't ask for a third time"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz7oiTdLPw
~you'll pay for this, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPaZqpAdbb
you overgrown idiot~ David closed his eye and tried to extinguish the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSwVcxeh5T
look of pure hatred. He couldn't do anything right now, but the moment 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2530HQ5gK
would come. Right now he had to look scared, but should he go for the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7b9uTPJFi
truth aswell? ~After all truth is only something you say when you can 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxeAcXPK8q
think of a good lie.~ Before he decided either way David would need to 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36wIy5TkLI
find out if he was dealing with empire soldiers, he didn't imagine they 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb8XaHWEMW
would look kindly upon a smuggler delivering weapons to their enemies. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCyVlKQc4
David let his eye wander715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcEwnjVvbA
a bit around his surroundings; he couldn't turn his sight far as the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH2CodgeFj
weapon was pointed right at his head. But he could get a better look at 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEXmauQ1bE
his assailant and his clothes, definitely not a uniform or anything a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2anbE8SlFj
soldier would wear. Looked more like random pieces of clothing put 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjGUEDkv9w
together, definitely stitched and not very well looked after. Empire 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocr8JuKyOa
soldiers may have been arrogant pricks but they were disciplined 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSwUywieXL
arrogant pricks.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoAEyZM7gh
David heard the flint 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduq0lc7ys0
being pushed back, apparently the man got tired of waiting and David 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTqIt1f5up
started talking before his brains decorated the ground he was on. "I was715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEq0eGvbhW
part of the crew trying to get weapons to the rebels round here. We 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nOO3bgD4v
were shot down and then...I don't know, I woke up here, must've fallen 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4zQbXcBcz
out or something." David said trying to sound confused and scared at the715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36qchlpggx
same time. Which wasn't hard, he was very confused. He didn't know how 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0rduTCAuv
he got here, he remembered his little episode with Jester but that just 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVUv9zccxp
left him with more questions. David was also scared, last thing he 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeULgJmUpg8
remembered before jester was falling out of the 'flying fish' and no 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC5JIOyxLb
matter his luck he should've died from that fall, yet here he was.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAdzA5n02X
The pain in his arm 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzq0thXZvY
eased off and David was about to breathe a sigh of relieve when the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFLpCXjrY8
muzzle of the musket hit him straight in the nose, making his head spin 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnq2sVUKFa
and see stars in front of his eye. "I saw the corrupted ship falling. It715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0vp6UiTKO
wasn't anywhere close, so you're either lying or a mage to have 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXLDGr5Zaz
survived that fall."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr08QUtomMe
It took a second for 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbce59ebqoK
David to remember that the Imperials called their channelers, mages. An 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bIbq3Xjvu
old word for something that David didn't remember. Another thing David 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSwkLWoCDM
had to remember was that if they were rebels they most likely hated 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl2Z5qCFgm
mages. After all, as far as David thought, you'd need to be at rock 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyKkzKWSYQ
bottom with no chance of losing anything to go against a whole 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Wyd5GSKd
government. And those who can't channel in the empire are people like 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCahQvUpwt
that.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgn4STfapu
"I don't know how I got 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Tgtq4CZK
here. I just remember falling of the ship." Which was the truth, even if715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGradKlidVU
not the full truth. "I also ain't no cha...mage." David risked the full715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8xX80l5qR
truth715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuCHetUDEz
"I'm sure if he was a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGrqI3ePDh
mage he'd probably have killed us by now, summoned demons and the like, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcgf4ToWAJ
wouldn't he Gob?" David tried turning his head towards the youngish 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CWOKzvPTX
voice but had no luck. The man holding the musket grunted though, David 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxH7MbWOoB
guessed that was Gob.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaDGcFWYmd
"Not how mages work kid,715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99xWbUA2SM
they'd need to gather their energy from the ether and they need a clear715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBIiAtKQjL
head for that and be upright. Otherwise they're inviting all kinds of 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g1jgzF2EH
corruption and most mages I've met are mostly concerned with 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPXwCLHPjD
self-preservation. And as long as I keep hitting him in the head." Gob 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThITWd9Soz
smashed the muzzle into Davids nose again to prove a point. "He won't 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hi45NEUUg
have a clear head so we should be safe.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCSLxPEoSo
David was having trouble715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopyP37ZGYr
breathing through his nose, he felt like it was broken in a few places.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe9dg1Rj4j
Thus he had to exhale through his mouth just to keep his calm. "You can715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdk1HYDCK4
keep hitting me but you won't get any other answers, because it's the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zsIMIQJhD
falling truth!" He exclaimed. David tried projecting both exhaustion and715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEoXKpHaXZ
fear into his voice. While he didn't really feel that scared he 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZzeqnqZwx
definitely felt exhausted.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTtrufmoTl
Gob stared into Davids 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7fkoOoe9U
eyes and seemingly made a decision, he rummaged in his pocket and threw 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6FNH898NT
some herbs to David, withdrawing the musket from his face but still 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7ZIGu5G1
holding it aimed. "Swallow some of them and maybe I'll stop" Gob said in715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae1jhzvIXz
a deadpan voice.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNkevirUCD
Sighting David sat up, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgMuSeMd4E
his bones cracking and feeling sore. The blood finally flowing from his 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHc3DBpUNM
nose onto his chin, David had to spit some of it out as it went inside 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTKT7Vwrw8
his mouth. He looked at the herbs and was very tempted to ask what they 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82FpZGWxV0
were. But he was pretending to be scared and he didn't imagine asking 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjLOGJz477
would give him an answer, at least an answer that didn't consist of him 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOiz3qs9sq
getting kicked or hit by the weapon again.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzUJSaxVSR
David took the herbs and715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM35227ZIOK
swallowed them without chewing. He didn't feel any different after 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLOycR6cL3
taking them, Davids first thought was it was some sort of drugs but 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhieP1rj6V7
looks like he was wrong. Gob must've saw Davids confused look as he 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa17au7tGm4
explained, not only for Davids benefit but for the others there as well.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4l8MHS17u
"It's called blumeflor, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2THArK9QcQ
blocks the mage from reaching out to the ether. Pretty rare, the council715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yBG8HAENf
has tried to burn out all seeds. Of course there's always a way of 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTPIYCgZQc
getting a hold of something when you really want it." David could hear 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxucIVDOQ
some pride in that voice, which he could understand being a smuggler 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDXztsPxM
himself.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYpJuu7hBs
"It's a good way of 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoik4FVA8V
making mages useless for an hour or two, but a better way of finding out715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Or6pteT4v
if they're mages. It causes them immense pain apparently."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOBCNPz6VO
David was going to ask 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9EsXCVFSy
why didn't he just give it to him immediately but he kept his silence. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLixeqgUXXh
He risked getting up and, for once, Gob didn't protest by hitting him 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1iHIhbT60
with that musket, not that he lowered it either. This Gob was a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYuB6dGjdr
dangerous man, he knew a lot about ether channeling, definitely more 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNVP8qvFAr
than someone who heard about it in whispers and rumors, he had a flower 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZTPoVB2R3
that disabled channeling, a flower which David hadn't ever heard off, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0liyL9WXb
and the man most certainly knew how to handle the musket judging by his 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskXtfJJjmx
stance. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMH7ZunI4N
Gob was also very persistent. "Since you're not a mage, you're a liar then. Now why should I waste my time on a liar?"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT9VWxOgpD
"Why would I lie about 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk9G6ZPjCl
being on that ship? Everyone could see it burning down in the sky!" Gob 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEdMXkz6pQ
looked like he was considering that so David pushed his advantage." I'm 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCbFOJxssQ
as confused as you and scared to boot. I was on my ship and then I'm 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupabmL2HD4
here alive while my crew mates might all be dead!" David had to win 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oHnSgc1UG
their trust, showing that he cared for the crew he spent time with was a715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Xo7QCsdk
good way to do it.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIf7iU42kE
"Oh and you have proof? The fact that you served on that ship?" 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0igT4LUNx
"The only things I have is what you can see, so no."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEMNYQbsWJ
"So you are a liar."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqH8Ygu4eM
"Bring me to the ship! 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qsHgsmdIh
You saw where it fell down and if there's anything still left of it I'll715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZLg8Yvekv
be able to show you where the weapons are. I'm guessing we were 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HhJinfcR2
supposed to deliver them to you anyway"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0THf4bz4s
Some of the feet 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0RvmB0kSq
shuffled as if embarrassed to have been found out but Gob wasn't 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiTl6z011n
relenting. "Even if by some miracle the ship did survive, the soldiers 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjD4oM6Edn
would have gotten to the ship first. They were right on its tail."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxonOHxgGpU
"The weapons were in a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtYlHS5wBl
special hold! Only officers knew where it is, if any part of the ship 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGZLcWRhIa
survived that hold definitely did. Plus would the soldiers really care 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLUeHGztTR
after shooting it down or would they just leave it and go back to more 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSvigJfp6U
important duties?"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2JTWUgQDv
Gob shook his head. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nQ8kG7wOs
"They would, but..." He seemed to be deep in thought and David begun to 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGZX3HugNZ
hope. "We need the weapons, if there's a chance they're still there I'm 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb4kTo55XZ
willing to take it." Gob said nodding. "There's one thing to decide 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YTugaQyDn
though. Denis!" The young man whose spoke up for David basically jumped 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0E8jZPSp2
up. "Y..yes Gob?"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrkDxZuQBN
"Don't call me Gob, I'm 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB8NAiLpPb
not as lenient as Francesca." He answered chidingly. "Grab the rope and 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSo1l38Vqg
tie our friend here and then join us." 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpgQAHlzft
"Yes, sir!" The young 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO4wNyf5SB
man, Denis basically jumped into action grabbing the rope and running 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TdqGDdQMK
towards David. Giving a glance that basically said: 'sorry about this.'715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UO2XtEcJs
David smiled, atleast 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xty9Os0fC
someone who should be easy to manipulate. "Don't worry about it, better 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5aiYAaALH
safe than sorry, right?" David said easy going and not resisting. Denis 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcw7jIvcDN
seemed to appreciate that as he put the rope around David and a nearby 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer2OMjarSS
tree in the most loosest of knots. "Sorry about that" Denis said as he 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdjw0fl5zh
finished tying it. "Gob just likes to be precise."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gmhV1U9sc
David nodded as if 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsBo9dLkUd
understanding. "Yeah, like I said better be safe than sorry. He seems to715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OQkuBzQns
know what he's talking about." The young lad seemed to look up to the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FiUYfolTK
big man, so David wasn't going to be antagonistic towards Gob, a few 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF3kNe3Tax
chosen words would make Denis trust him. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ4CQdEfNE
"Yeah, he really does!" Denis answered eagerly, his eyes bright. "He was in the military before, I heard he served with..." 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOjrE9Vnzh
"Denis!" Gobs voice 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XGWzIgGVK
could be heard before Denis got to finish his thought." I told you to 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOyvD92Bi2
tie him not to murder him with your voice, come here!" Denis offered a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1qzBhWfwX
farewell nod to David and ran off to join the rest of his group sitting 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuCoh7lGhp
in a circle.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6QiniU2m2
David could easily untie715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVamwQJcPVl
himself but where would he run? The isle was probably surrounded by the715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnPq0hZy1u
military and he didn't know anyone from around here. Plus he was pretty715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRWpzVwVO3
sure he'd get shot before he'd be able to get far anyway. No as far as 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBkzBQlS5K
he could see the best thing would be to bide time.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL4opPnw5b
David must've dozed off 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV86mdpX1YC
as didn't know how much time has passed before the group dispersed, with715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdSjKS4oDG
Gob making a beeline towards him. David gave him a smile, the most 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARqV7rHFYH
disarming one he could muster. "Like I said we're going to go for the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpAUx1mnga
weapons, the question's, again, is why do we need you? Even if you're 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37NjGjW7yd
not a liar at best you're a liability. And if the weapons are in a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSyN9WuPYa
hidden hold, I don't imagine a lot of the ship survived to make much of a715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOAHqOOJ5W
difference, we'll be able to find them."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWYX5vozpZ
"I thought you people rebelled for a cause, if you just murder me aren't you proving you're nothing more than common brigands?"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbbnOWFE3D
"Who'd know?"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwzap5lbq5
"You" David said that as715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TvlfxjW6K
he looked into gobs eyes. If he was a military man he was either a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSxHhUzIKT
deserter or someone who rebelled for a reason. And David didn't imagine 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjZD9c4BYs
deserters would be quick to go back into the thick of battle if they had715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv6843MlKB
a choice so David took a gamble.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcHlJ9SOi8
It seemed to be paying 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj5KOwPFUl
off as the answer made Gob pause. He looked at his compatriots and shook715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZVsMDlmj
his head. "I don't mind if you end up dead, but...remember this: one 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHTk9sEt6V
wrong move and you're dead."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRHjpGXo6C
David nodded, not liking the look in Gobs eyes. "I get it, you're trying to look after them but I'm not your enemy."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM8o4CFb93
Gob grunted at that. "No715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgKgdNPE95
way to answer that right now, is it?" He untied David from the tree but715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPz3IDlojv
tied his hands together so tight that David could feel the blood 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBQItAIvDw
draining from his hands. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhiPxbzkVy
"I'll be able to walk 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNErAnduT1k
faster with my hands untied, and no one leading me." David nodded 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBTCVwKARt
towards the rope in Gobs hand. Which he so kindly pulled and almost 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawUqyVTgL6
caused David to lose his balance. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5KsJoaqVz
"The walk should only 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRFNbbclJ1
take half a day, you'll be fine. Who knows if you don't make any sudden 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJZerkRz6z
moves I might be nice and let you stay with us instead of letting you go715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERIiQYTRhd
into the wild." David shuddered at that, Looking around he could only 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTgJ6kerzt
see a thick forest around them. He never spent a lot of time in nature 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirG5qZPE38
preferring cities, plus, judging by the look in Gobs eyes, David 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1QtNqFdEM
imagined that if he did make any sudden moves he wouldn't really get 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9e6PMcKzY
time to get used to surviving in the wilderness.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW27QDmIOM
To Gobs credit he wasn't715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dSdt5zqrq
lying, the walk did take about half a day. During the walk David 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb78zerTJU
managed to glean the names of the rest of the rebels while being led by 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV8YTM6urI
Gob, not that the man didn't try to silence them and have them keep an 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNMt1KYGbx
eye out on the trees. The problem was that, except for Gob himself, the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySAvxRbvr5
rest of his group seemed to consist of teenagers.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNqJA6YpUe
First there was Denis, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9P3r9DrCL
the wide eyed youth who seemed to be very eager, but not much else. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rAV4q6fVJ
Angela, who seemed to be the big sister of the group and second in 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5the4Urv9
command. She wasn't much of a leader but she really cared for the well 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldKIpd5Fkh
being making sure no one was hungry or cold. Then there was Rock, true 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F23MZ5Hux
to his namesake the youth didn't talk much. But he was sturdy, even if 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsocOnzLyZh
not in character definitely in stature. Finally there was Tick, a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGU37ptlfh
nervous young buy. Seemed even younger, and twitchier, than the rest. He715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SVYlraFRk
jumped at every noise and Angela was checking up on him the most. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAHKZJlwke
All in all a group of 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP7XOJ5FOg
people that David shouldn't have problems either conning or murdering, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ259TMUd283
or at least if Gob wasn't there. If he could get rid of him earning 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzjzZMjj65
their trust would become tenfold easier. The problem is he could not see715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FxdiE5QaA
a way of getting rid of Gob. The group may have been ragtag and could 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ1gCIgfjl
barely hold their guns properly, but they've had complete faith in Gob 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev9aoXBNqZ
and his orders, to be fair to Gob he definitely seemed to know his 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd3YcF1J2R
stuff. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvLYBVKXVW
Sadly except the names 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nvGWQYQjZ
David didn't manage to get any other useful information, from listening,715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFukuVnHDQ
as Gob kept most of the talking to a minimum, but their actions and 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QbtszR3PN
mannerisms told him a lot about them as well, David was always good at 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwhZJarx4Q
reading people. He found it quite a useful skill to train since his 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDrBYgo2MQ
childhood. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmZaLW6qLx
David also paid 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyt1nHllrG
attention to where they were going. A tree seemed as much as any other 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkWn4ZBSnW
one for him but he tried to memorize any landmarks just in case. A 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡascXliy2tL
distinct scar on one tree, a nest of ants on a hill, anything that could715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7TKjUtGFn
help him in case he needed to make a speedy escape.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LiljhosKd
The closer they got the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18DJXtN0dA
more David could see various signs of the fallen wreckage. A metal plate715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP12GTl0DMp
here and there, a propeller hanging from the branches of a tree, an 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLX2MbLhdo
eyeball as well as some splatter of blood, the rest of the body probably715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpGLrxEDh2
scavenged by an animal. David avoided looking at the remains, from both715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7L3li8n2v
the ship and his, former crewmates. He wasn't Squeamish around blood 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8M65OG3Bt
and he wasn't afraid he'd see one of his friends but whenever he looked 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzSe5cLzuj
it made him think that he was supposed to be there as well. That though 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYgKzKFjDa
made David shudder and turned his smile into more of a frown.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXicuRspVq
They were able to hear 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSAnkXLkqu
the ship before they could see it. Not the flying fish that was burning 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRTxdLnITz
down and lying in ruins but the empire ship. David knew from experience 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4SSMKRwq7
that the newer ships did not make as much noise but the imperial ones, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfEtAooLLH
with their outdated void-engines made a huge racket.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2m5JSarjA
"Get down, behind the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxorFqF3eQ
trees!" Came a hushed order from Gob as David felt his rope tugged and 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3UYEiUgrQ
he fell to the ground with a grunt. David was sure Gob was just enjoying715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxWdkDcYcu
inflicting the pain at this point. Not like the soldiers were close and715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ87pe8mfL
no matter how ill prepared the rebels were their uniforms meshed quite 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYKINzOCgx
nicely with the surroundings.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQHZMxE9ee
With a groan David 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUbL2F9sHN
looked up, and saw Gob taking out a telescope out of his coat to look at715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVoFr6qYF0
the soldiers. "Camps, they're planning on camping here" he said with a 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe3YMIc9YS
grunt. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOwkaSKxy6
They all had to cover 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcqVkDCma9
their ears in the next moment as the imperial ship took flight, gaining 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj02CzcR55
aptitude first and then flying above David and his newfound friends. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYYE2EM6YG
Luckily the ship was quite high so it didn't disturb the trees around 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVpSXyCtPZ
them.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0qP7YKqi4
With a tug of the rope 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUjB0KbGq2
Gob called David over to his vintage point. Slowly David crawled up to 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxktkXqmza
Gob and clumsily held the telescope to his working eye. He could see the715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IOXWVd22M
'Flying fish' his home for the past few years or at least what was left715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6C7IVpa5I
of it. David could also see the beginning of the encampment with tents 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQaIayfBak
being set up as well as some markings to establish a perimeter.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZIQIEHW3Y
"So, where's this hold?"715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOJff9Tzvh
Gob asked, still glaring at the soldiers as if he could see all the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLdCZQbXZU
details without the telescope. Without a trace of hesitancy David 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdEo5AuVZJ
pointed his finger to around the middle of the ship.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKreghq5Mo
"It's there and looks 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInH3eh4cjQ
like it's still mostly intact." Score one for David. "Why do you think 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i21tLq7LZ
they're setting up around the ship?" He asked Gob715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PxlJ644hT
"Corruption knows. They 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPiHOERS6r
might've found the weapons, and guessed they're for us, so now they're 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGNerJ0YgH
waiting and doing a poor job of setting up an ambush. Or maybe they're 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMwgniPT53
just guarding the ship till more reinforcements can come?" Gob answered 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl6SHI2mZq
looking sideways at David." I don't really care why. Now give it back" 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT6UopTeVF
he said holding out his hand for the telescope.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXovZ5pMjW
David made a move to 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34hZO8ec8b
hand the telescope back but something caught his attention, a soldier, 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7JZeWuyJV
David wasn't sure why but something in his mind pulled him towards that 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcWcMbgT0H
person. Ignoring Gobs growl David kept looking through the telescope at 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKeelVYNx7
the soldier as he spoke to someone else and pointed a finger, right at 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnns1nk39E
them. "I think we're in trouble."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHPhWq4a0o
Gob pulled the telescope715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQPQVhpIpQ
away from David with force and took a look and saw the same soldier 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dMWeKCDfO
pointing and a group of others heading towards their location. "Nothing 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0QRldybyv
we can do here anyway, we'll head back now." Gob said more for the 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8fzi8Sg4y
benefit of his troops rather than Davids. He pulled David up with that 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelDf7KJiyq
rope, this time he was ready for it and didn't lose his balance while 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkClmxrGWJ
standing up. What David wasn't ready for though was Gob pulling him 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlci1P5lFVF
close. "I still don't trust you." He whispered in a deadly tone. "I'm 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3nmJ03y1m
not sure if you had anything to do with the soldiers seeing us or not 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzKUqekrpc
but I'm willing to bet you did." He gave a big sight. "Even so, you're 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvse6R7Rsj
right. We're above leaving strangers to die, and she'd never forgive me 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG2taYb5s5
for leaving you to the imperials. At least without a good flying 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc02TXdVBpK
reason." He added the last part in a grumble715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucXwKtubd1
Gob pulled away from 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt94j8uZsDD
David, pulling the rope to nudging David to follow him and continued 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdr0kgRkLq
speaking in a rather fake cheery tone "So you're in luck, we're bringing715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKklnOjKqtr
you to our home. So if you shit in it, I'll be more than happy to drown715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaua3BJ7c5
you in your own shit" 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9v3rgsnU4
"Now form up and let's 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywP9mKkFoA
go!" He barked, to the rest of the group as they proceeded further into 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYGSRaTbBK
the forest and away from the soldiers. Hopefully somewhere safe and with715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnVjSepviO
a roof above, as David felt that he'd had his fill of the outside for a715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXoUa7AQZu
long while.
