"Ugh" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ2JTFwN2W
"Shh, he's coming to"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAV07WnMOg
David slowly opened his 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37YnoL9S2a
eye but as he did so he was blinded by the sun, so doing the most 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMENL5wf9zu
logical thing a one eyed man could do, he went to cover his last eye 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZRiLd5Lvo
last so that he'd become blind.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0cJAlEoxz
Sadly someone didn't 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWlp3fjDWq
like that idea all that much as David was kicked before he could 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanIB02eWRh
properly move his arm and was pinched to the ground. "Don't move!" Came a671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLhHyVmkYD
gruff voice.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW04Nr5MGUr
David braved opening his671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpTtpK1L0A
eye and was greeted by a black hole, looking beyond that he could see 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9vcR2iopo
the metallic shape that belonged to a musket and looking even beyond 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFznvGq8AIM
that he could see a human shape, staring at him with unblinking, dark 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYClOrb9rQ
eyes. "Who might you be?" Came the gruff voice again. David wasn't able 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm74JTmDm3
to discern whether the voice came from his friend with a gun there or 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZwOkxkBDG
someone else. David could see his jaw move but not the mouth itself as 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlOanLpZTc
it was covered too much with a beard.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekRmdx2eGJ
"A friend, especially to671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk2f8G75Nr
those who hold guns to my head." David risked a smile, usually humor 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDTAXyJcdr
and a light attitude would get him out of most situation or at least 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqS1nC8jxX
ease the tensions enough for David to get an in. People tend to 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu74Hb2z3sC
underestimate you, when they believe you're just a fool. Sadly this 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc33aGDxM45
didn't seem to have worked with this particular type of character as the671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORIpEQJ6G3
pressure on his arm increased.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdl6AUsOxH
"Ow, ow. Shit!" David exclaimed. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3w9ZYWgHg
"Now, again, who are you?" The voice came once more "I won't ask for a third time"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0puaFnPEV
~you'll pay for this, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LJaxzdjnq
you overgrown idiot~ David closed his eye and tried to extinguish the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw8stqk5cl
look of pure hatred. He couldn't do anything right now, but the moment 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rYa13vKh6
would come. Right now he had to look scared, but should he go for the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV47dwtBCf
truth aswell? ~After all truth is only something you say when you can 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku3eeJ5NV5
think of a good lie.~ Before he decided either way David would need to 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SVDSKehQD
find out if he was dealing with empire soldiers, he didn't imagine they 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuP1sdsjZz
would look kindly upon a smuggler delivering weapons to their enemies. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXp9KHwimh
David let his eye wander671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXkgSpD4wh
a bit around his surroundings; he couldn't turn his sight far as the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKqBpW4SAA
weapon was pointed right at his head. But he could get a better look at 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCg4ssHBiM
his assailant and his clothes, definitely not a uniform or anything a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYUgjDkfKD
soldier would wear. Looked more like random pieces of clothing put 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnICC9bTUov
together, definitely stitched and not very well looked after. Empire 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJzdnuvWAH
soldiers may have been arrogant pricks but they were disciplined 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPxuxAAzBs
arrogant pricks.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP4NL4YJOY
David heard the flint 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04PErxZPlJ
being pushed back, apparently the man got tired of waiting and David 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ8gTj5a8S
started talking before his brains decorated the ground he was on. "I was671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikEH9g0N9m
part of the crew trying to get weapons to the rebels round here. We 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzS8rD8lW4
were shot down and then...I don't know, I woke up here, must've fallen 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmBEasASAD
out or something." David said trying to sound confused and scared at the671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7yZJOll3N
same time. Which wasn't hard, he was very confused. He didn't know how 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLJbmBrfO6
he got here, he remembered his little episode with Jester but that just 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLVmMdFHtb
left him with more questions. David was also scared, last thing he 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKZbYP8SF8
remembered before jester was falling out of the 'flying fish' and no 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYex9LwzES
matter his luck he should've died from that fall, yet here he was.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduvEE4cdkh
The pain in his arm 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6CeHQQu6l
eased off and David was about to breathe a sigh of relieve when the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq7bGrNFEk
muzzle of the musket hit him straight in the nose, making his head spin 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivuzM2dKGR
and see stars in front of his eye. "I saw the corrupted ship falling. It671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSJSnHdCge
wasn't anywhere close, so you're either lying or a mage to have 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgG6w9ctxN
survived that fall."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn18njbvum
It took a second for 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8w9mFaj61
David to remember that the Imperials called their channelers, mages. An 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULjHpYqTOR
old word for something that David didn't remember. Another thing David 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yQ9dV5QlK
had to remember was that if they were rebels they most likely hated 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqZiLfJ9wv
mages. After all, as far as David thought, you'd need to be at rock 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1a3ng8QGx
bottom with no chance of losing anything to go against a whole 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQuOFVWjCi
government. And those who can't channel in the empire are people like 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fwocZ2RD9
that.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTnTmecgix
"I don't know how I got 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW3MbfLANu
here. I just remember falling of the ship." Which was the truth, even if671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvka8hAB58v
not the full truth. "I also ain't no cha...mage." David risked the full671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHwYgFTLN0
truth671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtosqvJNQy2
"I'm sure if he was a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSggVP9ontY
mage he'd probably have killed us by now, summoned demons and the like, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZUp3WfAdI
wouldn't he Gob?" David tried turning his head towards the youngish 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKKC5T1BUa
voice but had no luck. The man holding the musket grunted though, David 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpiKnFzmCe
guessed that was Gob.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9E6IdNB9C
"Not how mages work kid,671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbLRmQz4Oq
they'd need to gather their energy from the ether and they need a clear671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyZ7HBWD9v
head for that and be upright. Otherwise they're inviting all kinds of 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WkR3RqzsE
corruption and most mages I've met are mostly concerned with 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BBC0goukC
self-preservation. And as long as I keep hitting him in the head." Gob 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeZkg2goJo
smashed the muzzle into Davids nose again to prove a point. "He won't 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZDEERa9HB
have a clear head so we should be safe.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Lb7KgwGY
David was having trouble671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWlQd3wT0b
breathing through his nose, he felt like it was broken in a few places.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCLewtcCyD
Thus he had to exhale through his mouth just to keep his calm. "You can671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmJQNX3NPj
keep hitting me but you won't get any other answers, because it's the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTazgqph2A
falling truth!" He exclaimed. David tried projecting both exhaustion and671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroAkC4GXuj
fear into his voice. While he didn't really feel that scared he 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhqn4Id8kc
definitely felt exhausted.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE8jHpYp0k
Gob stared into Davids 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaM7Ohz9nx
eyes and seemingly made a decision, he rummaged in his pocket and threw 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43FPMs51Wt
some herbs to David, withdrawing the musket from his face but still 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXNFli4aby
holding it aimed. "Swallow some of them and maybe I'll stop" Gob said in671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrynEQ6cSAu
a deadpan voice.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndzMavCLuK
Sighting David sat up, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWzD6ZE33X
his bones cracking and feeling sore. The blood finally flowing from his 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSOah2LBD
nose onto his chin, David had to spit some of it out as it went inside 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiWTTAoZdb
his mouth. He looked at the herbs and was very tempted to ask what they 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBgrYm5hik
were. But he was pretending to be scared and he didn't imagine asking 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1UVbfDbo5
would give him an answer, at least an answer that didn't consist of him 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z5GeGlusZ
getting kicked or hit by the weapon again.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXU8OtR6tH
David took the herbs and671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpzMrwGoW6
swallowed them without chewing. He didn't feel any different after 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81gENycPy8
taking them, Davids first thought was it was some sort of drugs but 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXOFHzbrVK
looks like he was wrong. Gob must've saw Davids confused look as he 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44obZeEa5F
explained, not only for Davids benefit but for the others there as well.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsO11f7zfW
"It's called blumeflor, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp1t9udhhv
blocks the mage from reaching out to the ether. Pretty rare, the council671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGEi4hwn2T
has tried to burn out all seeds. Of course there's always a way of 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFOl2FSEht
getting a hold of something when you really want it." David could hear 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcfYGj8pK
some pride in that voice, which he could understand being a smuggler 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NOCq2OtNW
himself.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2eKqTdY4a
"It's a good way of 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iu5ch7quD
making mages useless for an hour or two, but a better way of finding out671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIj19mqbWp
if they're mages. It causes them immense pain apparently."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9hEnT04MO
David was going to ask 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnZxxGeRJF
why didn't he just give it to him immediately but he kept his silence. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD6PoCY71y
He risked getting up and, for once, Gob didn't protest by hitting him 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BDOH35VWD
with that musket, not that he lowered it either. This Gob was a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4eqCYe2rw
dangerous man, he knew a lot about ether channeling, definitely more 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTzsQxR4dE
than someone who heard about it in whispers and rumors, he had a flower 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId3xB9cPNU
that disabled channeling, a flower which David hadn't ever heard off, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB26y7vg4w
and the man most certainly knew how to handle the musket judging by his 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9H4fRR09W
stance. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXjPTkUXZ
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?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Bf3cCPQt
"Why would I lie about 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusbrneqcqG
being on that ship? Everyone could see it burning down in the sky!" Gob 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhmFrcfh6Z
looked like he was considering that so David pushed his advantage." I'm 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIesx89miqf
as confused as you and scared to boot. I was on my ship and then I'm 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrhKmNeCBX
here alive while my crew mates might all be dead!" David had to win 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YGvrE13pH
their trust, showing that he cared for the crew he spent time with was a671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AESxpiTwo
good way to do it.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99s3Fr8i4c
"Oh and you have proof? The fact that you served on that ship?" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZGmVqmNHh
"The only things I have is what you can see, so no."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt0SpfWKIL
"So you are a liar."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHCLtqnxNb
"Bring me to the ship! 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aIeqi7TQ1
You saw where it fell down and if there's anything still left of it I'll671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8zAEnr1P1
be able to show you where the weapons are. I'm guessing we were 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y650mSdG3
supposed to deliver them to you anyway"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu5O5sgF24
Some of the feet 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQzElhFXFo
shuffled as if embarrassed to have been found out but Gob wasn't 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmhKkmYKg
relenting. "Even if by some miracle the ship did survive, the soldiers 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2JhBlBiu
would have gotten to the ship first. They were right on its tail."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRaU0T3xwu
"The weapons were in a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCZNZ0dIwi
special hold! Only officers knew where it is, if any part of the ship 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOxNMlVLep
survived that hold definitely did. Plus would the soldiers really care 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5avNH7erX
after shooting it down or would they just leave it and go back to more 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5I4ee3Bqn
important duties?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BU0qj4jpl
Gob shook his head. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VhRimiSzL
"They would, but..." He seemed to be deep in thought and David begun to 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35IHlZRRDo
hope. "We need the weapons, if there's a chance they're still there I'm 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxpBsYeQng
willing to take it." Gob said nodding. "There's one thing to decide 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLUkB8XMpC
though. Denis!" The young man whose spoke up for David basically jumped 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1gF4ZfriN
up. "Y..yes Gob?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlQmOVdmVv
"Don't call me Gob, I'm 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu83BEZmPnp
not as lenient as Francesca." He answered chidingly. "Grab the rope and 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YgJ3YpABT
tie our friend here and then join us." 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYoHOS2DNC
"Yes, sir!" The young 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7jVjNf3qa
man, Denis basically jumped into action grabbing the rope and running 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF2O6HFBO3
towards David. Giving a glance that basically said: 'sorry about this.'671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjTqryDT8N
David smiled, atleast 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJDTK9fCW
someone who should be easy to manipulate. "Don't worry about it, better 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDRlpgAaE
safe than sorry, right?" David said easy going and not resisting. Denis 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wCRwwkRNG
seemed to appreciate that as he put the rope around David and a nearby 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78AmR2bQIN
tree in the most loosest of knots. "Sorry about that" Denis said as he 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbodkXW1Eba
finished tying it. "Gob just likes to be precise."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALU8pROiYP
David nodded as if 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Dv6JuaMU
understanding. "Yeah, like I said better be safe than sorry. He seems to671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb5j6JL2rg
know what he's talking about." The young lad seemed to look up to the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KKgeyKWS0
big man, so David wasn't going to be antagonistic towards Gob, a few 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZQt1Wlu4H
chosen words would make Denis trust him. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z8zJyeIRA
"Yeah, he really does!" Denis answered eagerly, his eyes bright. "He was in the military before, I heard he served with..." 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP7qPjstL2
"Denis!" Gobs voice 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrmnJfEmh8
could be heard before Denis got to finish his thought." I told you to 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZa93rLUo
tie him not to murder him with your voice, come here!" Denis offered a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud95AoTo8c
farewell nod to David and ran off to join the rest of his group sitting 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jGXVoEYpO
in a circle.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH0u19UfVJ
David could easily untie671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAlkNS7CaB
himself but where would he run? The isle was probably surrounded by the671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm7Rxm2B92
military and he didn't know anyone from around here. Plus he was pretty671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudKKdPVJSD
sure he'd get shot before he'd be able to get far anyway. No as far as 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLkJKPzACM
he could see the best thing would be to bide time.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOe5JJjoit
David must've dozed off 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ9VDAzgcZ
as didn't know how much time has passed before the group dispersed, with671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZgpuzcV6v
Gob making a beeline towards him. David gave him a smile, the most 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ1UTAzPLQ
disarming one he could muster. "Like I said we're going to go for the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMH5EJ9rK9
weapons, the question's, again, is why do we need you? Even if you're 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkq9dopUpT
not a liar at best you're a liability. And if the weapons are in a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdZPTRHrrp
hidden hold, I don't imagine a lot of the ship survived to make much of a671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l3W3zY0bf
difference, we'll be able to find them."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uO5LvE8uW
"I thought you people rebelled for a cause, if you just murder me aren't you proving you're nothing more than common brigands?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZAFDXI3hO
"Who'd know?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHthHe3h9z
"You" David said that as671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiASmAyrZr
he looked into gobs eyes. If he was a military man he was either a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXyZ9yxj8l
deserter or someone who rebelled for a reason. And David didn't imagine 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobrsFqsfVU
deserters would be quick to go back into the thick of battle if they had671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F8Uv1wQt5
a choice so David took a gamble.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOM4Vv1YP3
It seemed to be paying 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycCNtRKsAf
off as the answer made Gob pause. He looked at his compatriots and shook671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOii0MhmFEj
his head. "I don't mind if you end up dead, but...remember this: one 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUq5soOvm1
wrong move and you're dead."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD8rge7Koz
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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k9ARrZRqs
Gob grunted at that. "No671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wZCm6RNhg
way to answer that right now, is it?" He untied David from the tree but671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bxPkbND20
tied his hands together so tight that David could feel the blood 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSsooI03QN
draining from his hands. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4dLREZWdj
"I'll be able to walk 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnRq5k2vBc
faster with my hands untied, and no one leading me." David nodded 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0rOi3vB6b
towards the rope in Gobs hand. Which he so kindly pulled and almost 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1GWck7TgO
caused David to lose his balance. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoniFNN08Qt
"The walk should only 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWlk7KBuF1
take half a day, you'll be fine. Who knows if you don't make any sudden 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWhSGMelpB
moves I might be nice and let you stay with us instead of letting you go671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKJyktAAYA
into the wild." David shuddered at that, Looking around he could only 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHA9q7gPLU
see a thick forest around them. He never spent a lot of time in nature 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN9MLEHlyq
preferring cities, plus, judging by the look in Gobs eyes, David 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBExutNTr0
imagined that if he did make any sudden moves he wouldn't really get 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUhLf3vApZ
time to get used to surviving in the wilderness.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaUYNFNmao
To Gobs credit he wasn't671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva1dgACSkV
lying, the walk did take about half a day. During the walk David 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsfsOfj24U
managed to glean the names of the rest of the rebels while being led by 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOedfKTG9rQ
Gob, not that the man didn't try to silence them and have them keep an 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIBrHhVxws
eye out on the trees. The problem was that, except for Gob himself, the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvShmuiLojS
rest of his group seemed to consist of teenagers.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcOOnlYt7
First there was Denis, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4buuCVGTo2
the wide eyed youth who seemed to be very eager, but not much else. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7VZXJnq52
Angela, who seemed to be the big sister of the group and second in 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGhxqxPRZ8
command. She wasn't much of a leader but she really cared for the well 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw9t5W8R3F
being making sure no one was hungry or cold. Then there was Rock, true 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ECzzlSsS
to his namesake the youth didn't talk much. But he was sturdy, even if 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaM7F382gA
not in character definitely in stature. Finally there was Tick, a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iGIws7cFz
nervous young buy. Seemed even younger, and twitchier, than the rest. He671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9hNrT9sw8
jumped at every noise and Angela was checking up on him the most. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyUsqxaf5b
All in all a group of 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcrWhUtzLK
people that David shouldn't have problems either conning or murdering, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltWypVIHlo
or at least if Gob wasn't there. If he could get rid of him earning 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zIPNQBIEC
their trust would become tenfold easier. The problem is he could not see671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzefmwILUeB
a way of getting rid of Gob. The group may have been ragtag and could 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxTZPQNmTl
barely hold their guns properly, but they've had complete faith in Gob 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixXnrw8EXM
and his orders, to be fair to Gob he definitely seemed to know his 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMAVGO1hbn
stuff. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoNI7B6HTE
Sadly except the names 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCqwZMPgL4
David didn't manage to get any other useful information, from listening,671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZCcl0jJir
as Gob kept most of the talking to a minimum, but their actions and 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9n4zpzoJa
mannerisms told him a lot about them as well, David was always good at 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI48JtlCmV0
reading people. He found it quite a useful skill to train since his 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ2DjA6iwj
childhood. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ot95gjQY2
David also paid 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzzqNUkizY
attention to where they were going. A tree seemed as much as any other 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH67P8kfrid
one for him but he tried to memorize any landmarks just in case. A 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTwtAA8BwD
distinct scar on one tree, a nest of ants on a hill, anything that could671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZvKZIPhe6
help him in case he needed to make a speedy escape.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0aoK5WfbU
The closer they got the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvjmAEzVxH
more David could see various signs of the fallen wreckage. A metal plate671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XDAcHHMXf
here and there, a propeller hanging from the branches of a tree, an 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6JfrwurLi
eyeball as well as some splatter of blood, the rest of the body probably671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dw8lpj2L1
scavenged by an animal. David avoided looking at the remains, from both671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhkdz0M8mN
the ship and his, former crewmates. He wasn't Squeamish around blood 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB4xlfm2mM
and he wasn't afraid he'd see one of his friends but whenever he looked 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6jKpbDDXi
it made him think that he was supposed to be there as well. That though 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqdShFZFhh
made David shudder and turned his smile into more of a frown.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOSsDCm4bc
They were able to hear 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCL0FeE02F
the ship before they could see it. Not the flying fish that was burning 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZGdDpXaR
down and lying in ruins but the empire ship. David knew from experience 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lt55pdnVL
that the newer ships did not make as much noise but the imperial ones, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAsz5TSSjc
with their outdated void-engines made a huge racket.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZLdNyRr2N
"Get down, behind the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbNIljy4Xd
trees!" Came a hushed order from Gob as David felt his rope tugged and 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tdQj7ABU
he fell to the ground with a grunt. David was sure Gob was just enjoying671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy8Xe2lkO3
inflicting the pain at this point. Not like the soldiers were close and671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMR9b4cBCZ
no matter how ill prepared the rebels were their uniforms meshed quite 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCy2GKmmVl
nicely with the surroundings.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iL5OhGcaE
With a groan David 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWTqB1r2Yb
looked up, and saw Gob taking out a telescope out of his coat to look at671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YyV0vvnxg
the soldiers. "Camps, they're planning on camping here" he said with a 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKpIZrWvgv
grunt. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GEwyWsCEh
They all had to cover 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q5Lxc15TT
their ears in the next moment as the imperial ship took flight, gaining 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxwtX7ALgB
aptitude first and then flying above David and his newfound friends. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwPi8lvTL
Luckily the ship was quite high so it didn't disturb the trees around 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONRecctoov
them.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTZOnmTwyS
With a tug of the rope 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZGJCyuTOK
Gob called David over to his vintage point. Slowly David crawled up to 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8475zDZjhv
Gob and clumsily held the telescope to his working eye. He could see the671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnwZbfyCMl
'Flying fish' his home for the past few years or at least what was left671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4wi7C6bKQ
of it. David could also see the beginning of the encampment with tents 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ylF1yE01i
being set up as well as some markings to establish a perimeter.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGyjQcokvS
"So, where's this hold?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY5C1npHLV
Gob asked, still glaring at the soldiers as if he could see all the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDy8aaS9kk
details without the telescope. Without a trace of hesitancy David 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxnuyFjYSH
pointed his finger to around the middle of the ship.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Y0MyQjNo
"It's there and looks 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpP3QqCzYf
like it's still mostly intact." Score one for David. "Why do you think 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sBoSesDKG
they're setting up around the ship?" He asked Gob671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjxqPqfHLD
"Corruption knows. They 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd02VDrkRcC
might've found the weapons, and guessed they're for us, so now they're 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ZUs0xBZi
waiting and doing a poor job of setting up an ambush. Or maybe they're 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgM2UfYZDe
just guarding the ship till more reinforcements can come?" Gob answered 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHGRJf4Ybg
looking sideways at David." I don't really care why. Now give it back" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E6kRABPIQ
he said holding out his hand for the telescope.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn3dHEc7qa
David made a move to 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9TOzRe9UZ
hand the telescope back but something caught his attention, a soldier, 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIvZddoaKQ
David wasn't sure why but something in his mind pulled him towards that 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tWfqiZrlx
person. Ignoring Gobs growl David kept looking through the telescope at 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCQUCK7jPZ
the soldier as he spoke to someone else and pointed a finger, right at 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxJDHV5Vl3
them. "I think we're in trouble."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6A0c6RUzO
Gob pulled the telescope671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIwar8zPXc
away from David with force and took a look and saw the same soldier 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrybdd7OGZ5
pointing and a group of others heading towards their location. "Nothing 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb45Lxj9NX4
we can do here anyway, we'll head back now." Gob said more for the 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA5pcomnKh
benefit of his troops rather than Davids. He pulled David up with that 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTTPCCbfwt
rope, this time he was ready for it and didn't lose his balance while 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNPPyllnr0
standing up. What David wasn't ready for though was Gob pulling him 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebbGYvsNmC
close. "I still don't trust you." He whispered in a deadly tone. "I'm 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2rg8yxPzs
not sure if you had anything to do with the soldiers seeing us or not 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBA7psX4Jc
but I'm willing to bet you did." He gave a big sight. "Even so, you're 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusUjkOsgOr
right. We're above leaving strangers to die, and she'd never forgive me 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vm2bavdbX
for leaving you to the imperials. At least without a good flying 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa68PIOpRv5
reason." He added the last part in a grumble671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH82JKeM7x
Gob pulled away from 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGNRtqkoFG
David, pulling the rope to nudging David to follow him and continued 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHlHAjbWwU
speaking in a rather fake cheery tone "So you're in luck, we're bringing671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxoDFatxVO
you to our home. So if you shit in it, I'll be more than happy to drown671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArAwccopUw
you in your own shit" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfTpEJ9VJm
"Now form up and let's 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAIR3kQIf
go!" He barked, to the rest of the group as they proceeded further into 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94yrLZTsD0
the forest and away from the soldiers. Hopefully somewhere safe and with671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3hCeL0EeX
a roof above, as David felt that he'd had his fill of the outside for a671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qzQ4kHkAQ
long while.
