"Ugh" 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECtcXyOWsZ
"Shh, he's coming to"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QAP0JLNgn
David slowly opened his 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN5CZH1iDn
eye but as he did so he was blinded by the sun, so doing the most 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaFyMM6nh5
logical thing a one eyed man could do, he went to cover his last eye 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HNwJdLyNe
last so that he'd become blind.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz3hdW0MPA
Sadly someone didn't 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrspTOMTLC7
like that idea all that much as David was kicked before he could 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLhqzDgjM8
properly move his arm and was pinched to the ground. "Don't move!" Came a592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLDyAd8voo
gruff voice.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrQdub500i
David braved opening his592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ULI29LTxp
eye and was greeted by a black hole, looking beyond that he could see 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMd3BRXa7W
the metallic shape that belonged to a musket and looking even beyond 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK75Uni9YmR
that he could see a human shape, staring at him with unblinking, dark 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuaQVRlxYZ
eyes. "Who might you be?" Came the gruff voice again. David wasn't able 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMnlGHlXhO
to discern whether the voice came from his friend with a gun there or 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSYDy0TaDw
someone else. David could see his jaw move but not the mouth itself as 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBbL65o4Vg
it was covered too much with a beard.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMOkxfMTrt
"A friend, especially to592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtKOZUiKvB
those who hold guns to my head." David risked a smile, usually humor 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i5JJJHiDs
and a light attitude would get him out of most situation or at least 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgDSfQCpBe
ease the tensions enough for David to get an in. People tend to 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAzb8mcN9R
underestimate you, when they believe you're just a fool. Sadly this 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hzdZmgz4a
didn't seem to have worked with this particular type of character as the592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLUngShAl
pressure on his arm increased.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiPtOhuuxg
"Ow, ow. Shit!" David exclaimed. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2tf0RBhpv
"Now, again, who are you?" The voice came once more "I won't ask for a third time"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn7xwwRSrw
~you'll pay for this, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcQYwjC0l9
you overgrown idiot~ David closed his eye and tried to extinguish the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaxW5dVJ6F
look of pure hatred. He couldn't do anything right now, but the moment 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiAMScOWMG
would come. Right now he had to look scared, but should he go for the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlbunQpzEr
truth aswell? ~After all truth is only something you say when you can 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrVJnU5rp7
think of a good lie.~ Before he decided either way David would need to 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQm4zYZza8
find out if he was dealing with empire soldiers, he didn't imagine they 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJz0ZwNHI2
would look kindly upon a smuggler delivering weapons to their enemies. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbfJqNyop6
David let his eye wander592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfycWeSNtmA
a bit around his surroundings; he couldn't turn his sight far as the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NR84hUzYU
weapon was pointed right at his head. But he could get a better look at 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzMNrWqxcx
his assailant and his clothes, definitely not a uniform or anything a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO5WAnHDr3
soldier would wear. Looked more like random pieces of clothing put 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmMngLECHD
together, definitely stitched and not very well looked after. Empire 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIfbkhUNv3
soldiers may have been arrogant pricks but they were disciplined 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq9sjRbZAY
arrogant pricks.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0imbLQ334F
David heard the flint 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B4pTzzgWZ
being pushed back, apparently the man got tired of waiting and David 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzR8DdCpkA
started talking before his brains decorated the ground he was on. "I was592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXQWtMUMAV
part of the crew trying to get weapons to the rebels round here. We 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlfnmsnJ0T
were shot down and then...I don't know, I woke up here, must've fallen 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9lfesOGg1
out or something." David said trying to sound confused and scared at the592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxWgGQM5SC
same time. Which wasn't hard, he was very confused. He didn't know how 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEluvGUdPoX
he got here, he remembered his little episode with Jester but that just 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsjOpnFI4Q
left him with more questions. David was also scared, last thing he 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ226DM1LX
remembered before jester was falling out of the 'flying fish' and no 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnvwuS3niD
matter his luck he should've died from that fall, yet here he was.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8uBmbktb6
The pain in his arm 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBbWUS5zm9
eased off and David was about to breathe a sigh of relieve when the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98SrwyZlYl
muzzle of the musket hit him straight in the nose, making his head spin 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQJb5NnW4k
and see stars in front of his eye. "I saw the corrupted ship falling. It592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFvUtG1rj3
wasn't anywhere close, so you're either lying or a mage to have 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKe9ucnvwB
survived that fall."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkEVX3n5FZ
It took a second for 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO5pm7UpRN
David to remember that the Imperials called their channelers, mages. An 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1p2Ltpf2Y
old word for something that David didn't remember. Another thing David 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwPXUNjPz
had to remember was that if they were rebels they most likely hated 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjQj4yNfAH
mages. After all, as far as David thought, you'd need to be at rock 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7fhNcttXg
bottom with no chance of losing anything to go against a whole 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu75Hsu6II
government. And those who can't channel in the empire are people like 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZi134IDyK
that.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVW0t2pk4p
"I don't know how I got 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwUr4feKJx
here. I just remember falling of the ship." Which was the truth, even if592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp7DXziy1G
not the full truth. "I also ain't no cha...mage." David risked the full592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZsmzhquRG
truth592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqiCnP6t4W
"I'm sure if he was a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3AYtKA8TY
mage he'd probably have killed us by now, summoned demons and the like, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi6rOQX7Ge
wouldn't he Gob?" David tried turning his head towards the youngish 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOACAGF7ebB
voice but had no luck. The man holding the musket grunted though, David 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt21gWNrOvY
guessed that was Gob.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KYATbY8aD
"Not how mages work kid,592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk1rXppQPh
they'd need to gather their energy from the ether and they need a clear592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZMf57K88Q
head for that and be upright. Otherwise they're inviting all kinds of 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVkephAykF
corruption and most mages I've met are mostly concerned with 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLW0pbVtQj
self-preservation. And as long as I keep hitting him in the head." Gob 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xk8QPRJmT
smashed the muzzle into Davids nose again to prove a point. "He won't 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGda2M6iopf
have a clear head so we should be safe.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNte9KyecZ
David was having trouble592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yyUQgPMAi
breathing through his nose, he felt like it was broken in a few places.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6hPVYrrLV
Thus he had to exhale through his mouth just to keep his calm. "You can592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn1ACfoLoo
keep hitting me but you won't get any other answers, because it's the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFLzawPZaE
falling truth!" He exclaimed. David tried projecting both exhaustion and592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF9ObUSsTH
fear into his voice. While he didn't really feel that scared he 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTz8WawNWn
definitely felt exhausted.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB2Gy0gVHz
Gob stared into Davids 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8osYqaYBP
eyes and seemingly made a decision, he rummaged in his pocket and threw 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1QBFU8tsp
some herbs to David, withdrawing the musket from his face but still 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8w9FAY1f
holding it aimed. "Swallow some of them and maybe I'll stop" Gob said in592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIkSRAPtSX
a deadpan voice.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhoGCQiN4V
Sighting David sat up, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMEtHupdC7
his bones cracking and feeling sore. The blood finally flowing from his 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1nvCr7XZ4
nose onto his chin, David had to spit some of it out as it went inside 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXBJp5DeaO
his mouth. He looked at the herbs and was very tempted to ask what they 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuyqtyIXgO
were. But he was pretending to be scared and he didn't imagine asking 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FgOHcYRJu
would give him an answer, at least an answer that didn't consist of him 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpfVQJh668
getting kicked or hit by the weapon again.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUWZNcnyh7
David took the herbs and592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvihGg04tj
swallowed them without chewing. He didn't feel any different after 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30shHMWZNd
taking them, Davids first thought was it was some sort of drugs but 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYbLt9Z3os
looks like he was wrong. Gob must've saw Davids confused look as he 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRniPEmdvEJ
explained, not only for Davids benefit but for the others there as well.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse1emwjYwQ
"It's called blumeflor, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3CRDKVbWB
blocks the mage from reaching out to the ether. Pretty rare, the council592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleQE56snLQ
has tried to burn out all seeds. Of course there's always a way of 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNJ192SVa6
getting a hold of something when you really want it." David could hear 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcPECWjiVi
some pride in that voice, which he could understand being a smuggler 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYDUctt6No
himself.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBeMAiCiaS
"It's a good way of 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJmWZOlM65
making mages useless for an hour or two, but a better way of finding out592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUNhZ8Mje8
if they're mages. It causes them immense pain apparently."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoEIoq3Wpm
David was going to ask 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhbESkC5B3
why didn't he just give it to him immediately but he kept his silence. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rf4ae3Ji5
He risked getting up and, for once, Gob didn't protest by hitting him 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LzvUalotI
with that musket, not that he lowered it either. This Gob was a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoMWadPD5y
dangerous man, he knew a lot about ether channeling, definitely more 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlSTsgwd14
than someone who heard about it in whispers and rumors, he had a flower 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDKbA3ldbb
that disabled channeling, a flower which David hadn't ever heard off, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKoarsH7PB
and the man most certainly knew how to handle the musket judging by his 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwAb5aYLxz
stance. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U4kW3mAjf
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?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oJ4T7Y2SO
"Why would I lie about 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpsjapaOfH
being on that ship? Everyone could see it burning down in the sky!" Gob 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMMVagQTqN
looked like he was considering that so David pushed his advantage." I'm 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nrHtMKCdl
as confused as you and scared to boot. I was on my ship and then I'm 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprUw9nK6xf
here alive while my crew mates might all be dead!" David had to win 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtQwRqXtV0
their trust, showing that he cared for the crew he spent time with was a592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0SELZqhSL
good way to do it.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkBXehdSzN
"Oh and you have proof? The fact that you served on that ship?" 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTPq9olQ1K
"The only things I have is what you can see, so no."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJVGFqoqtI
"So you are a liar."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUYogcOL1E
"Bring me to the ship! 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgCYrgLomY
You saw where it fell down and if there's anything still left of it I'll592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG20i7rAYz
be able to show you where the weapons are. I'm guessing we were 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GKMs3bpTo
supposed to deliver them to you anyway"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIZ9b7sLm0
Some of the feet 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEbRrBrcwt
shuffled as if embarrassed to have been found out but Gob wasn't 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe5WoZSeRS
relenting. "Even if by some miracle the ship did survive, the soldiers 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uHZMQICTX
would have gotten to the ship first. They were right on its tail."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTY7AOZQDy
"The weapons were in a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFqq6rhxkY
special hold! Only officers knew where it is, if any part of the ship 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNCfeTtSB7
survived that hold definitely did. Plus would the soldiers really care 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIBqZo60hI
after shooting it down or would they just leave it and go back to more 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLzAd4affP
important duties?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAdYEXSATn
Gob shook his head. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuNJn3048f
"They would, but..." He seemed to be deep in thought and David begun to 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukCJI4MrXr
hope. "We need the weapons, if there's a chance they're still there I'm 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqChbvZaMU
willing to take it." Gob said nodding. "There's one thing to decide 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9iMNoPuvV
though. Denis!" The young man whose spoke up for David basically jumped 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcFGemYjMQ
up. "Y..yes Gob?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCrXrlzMaw
"Don't call me Gob, I'm 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRUr2KycyI
not as lenient as Francesca." He answered chidingly. "Grab the rope and 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19tB3Qz9lR
tie our friend here and then join us." 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgRzjvZNPm
"Yes, sir!" The young 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ6FPHroM8
man, Denis basically jumped into action grabbing the rope and running 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ux68XwbNP
towards David. Giving a glance that basically said: 'sorry about this.'592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKa7CI9CZc
David smiled, atleast 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2NA9ir6hw
someone who should be easy to manipulate. "Don't worry about it, better 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvGHLkeOLk
safe than sorry, right?" David said easy going and not resisting. Denis 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRULTh97ar
seemed to appreciate that as he put the rope around David and a nearby 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq6a354YmG
tree in the most loosest of knots. "Sorry about that" Denis said as he 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0fFQ1zXzo
finished tying it. "Gob just likes to be precise."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUCu1PmlKn
David nodded as if 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHl21vBrke
understanding. "Yeah, like I said better be safe than sorry. He seems to592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8l2XgLWBV
know what he's talking about." The young lad seemed to look up to the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLr3586DrZ
big man, so David wasn't going to be antagonistic towards Gob, a few 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZND2HTjvR
chosen words would make Denis trust him. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaNNd4WuVf
"Yeah, he really does!" Denis answered eagerly, his eyes bright. "He was in the military before, I heard he served with..." 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH73F2cDGHZ
"Denis!" Gobs voice 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdRdE2WApb
could be heard before Denis got to finish his thought." I told you to 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQOwa6S6px
tie him not to murder him with your voice, come here!" Denis offered a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT600uQvIH
farewell nod to David and ran off to join the rest of his group sitting 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs5pvALnJ1
in a circle.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWL9j4D6iD
David could easily untie592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtseHuajxl8
himself but where would he run? The isle was probably surrounded by the592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F4SL8bmZa
military and he didn't know anyone from around here. Plus he was pretty592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafxzN1Ef1M
sure he'd get shot before he'd be able to get far anyway. No as far as 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9mPUwtfUK
he could see the best thing would be to bide time.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNLCnCxvaC
David must've dozed off 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0aTZQ7lqC
as didn't know how much time has passed before the group dispersed, with592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2itqB9WenJ
Gob making a beeline towards him. David gave him a smile, the most 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNgDf9sYzf
disarming one he could muster. "Like I said we're going to go for the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8QD6czjgd
weapons, the question's, again, is why do we need you? Even if you're 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyJisY2TI0
not a liar at best you're a liability. And if the weapons are in a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNblx1bjXw
hidden hold, I don't imagine a lot of the ship survived to make much of a592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVeknn89t2
difference, we'll be able to find them."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQMgeWJ8QX
"I thought you people rebelled for a cause, if you just murder me aren't you proving you're nothing more than common brigands?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL0ilnb9i5
"Who'd know?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8HxIOvLE0
"You" David said that as592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1o5e2ZJ9H
he looked into gobs eyes. If he was a military man he was either a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRRbaxk12e
deserter or someone who rebelled for a reason. And David didn't imagine 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8H7dJD41N
deserters would be quick to go back into the thick of battle if they had592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIGMbHRpt0
a choice so David took a gamble.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5GXfCmSaF
It seemed to be paying 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyNUgVjxxC
off as the answer made Gob pause. He looked at his compatriots and shook592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYcteHlWTt
his head. "I don't mind if you end up dead, but...remember this: one 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOIQUvKUCS
wrong move and you're dead."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGl2C2kwjk
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."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroB5E88YxF
Gob grunted at that. "No592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k758QsTY1
way to answer that right now, is it?" He untied David from the tree but592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78WN2QwYpV
tied his hands together so tight that David could feel the blood 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBhlL0VEQv
draining from his hands. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFmhrMyjfG
"I'll be able to walk 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Hs66vNfE
faster with my hands untied, and no one leading me." David nodded 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZkEU0dBRE
towards the rope in Gobs hand. Which he so kindly pulled and almost 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH4NqE85ME
caused David to lose his balance. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nvIZ6FKXL
"The walk should only 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma32QsnCbv
take half a day, you'll be fine. Who knows if you don't make any sudden 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6xWcaAiAp
moves I might be nice and let you stay with us instead of letting you go592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Pwn1fc1m
into the wild." David shuddered at that, Looking around he could only 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XFmbUpVeB
see a thick forest around them. He never spent a lot of time in nature 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1o8Ty2Lb7
preferring cities, plus, judging by the look in Gobs eyes, David 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWzlk9AhRQ
imagined that if he did make any sudden moves he wouldn't really get 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N08Q5nepO
time to get used to surviving in the wilderness.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcFWYJRD6H
To Gobs credit he wasn't592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLf1Hx4ZZn
lying, the walk did take about half a day. During the walk David 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ofoUe7L0
managed to glean the names of the rest of the rebels while being led by 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDht828UnkJ
Gob, not that the man didn't try to silence them and have them keep an 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3uEkaXDXE
eye out on the trees. The problem was that, except for Gob himself, the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIfefZdnzH
rest of his group seemed to consist of teenagers.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINuFdbVT1W
First there was Denis, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhEnJaZa1Y
the wide eyed youth who seemed to be very eager, but not much else. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU77RInPbR
Angela, who seemed to be the big sister of the group and second in 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZhoCcr70
command. She wasn't much of a leader but she really cared for the well 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0x1A4m3Y0
being making sure no one was hungry or cold. Then there was Rock, true 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivybp7lF5R
to his namesake the youth didn't talk much. But he was sturdy, even if 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazgBOfl6KL
not in character definitely in stature. Finally there was Tick, a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8j3tAyrOT
nervous young buy. Seemed even younger, and twitchier, than the rest. He592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDXXC9OgRI
jumped at every noise and Angela was checking up on him the most. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANxM71P9fq
All in all a group of 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCdtruLzLJ
people that David shouldn't have problems either conning or murdering, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53BFCJJ8rq
or at least if Gob wasn't there. If he could get rid of him earning 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQlrSaXNM
their trust would become tenfold easier. The problem is he could not see592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMsksfEayx
a way of getting rid of Gob. The group may have been ragtag and could 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mnyhaD605
barely hold their guns properly, but they've had complete faith in Gob 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzFauWf2dF
and his orders, to be fair to Gob he definitely seemed to know his 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvllRu5EgtZ
stuff. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MEKPxVBe4
Sadly except the names 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn5dGdUHMu
David didn't manage to get any other useful information, from listening,592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8XYzTgadH
as Gob kept most of the talking to a minimum, but their actions and 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzLrObAvI9
mannerisms told him a lot about them as well, David was always good at 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDZn99oP09
reading people. He found it quite a useful skill to train since his 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZNFFLOAN3
childhood. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhT24RdYby
David also paid 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXLynNY51d
attention to where they were going. A tree seemed as much as any other 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnp0TtKIvg
one for him but he tried to memorize any landmarks just in case. A 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ocUsxU9M
distinct scar on one tree, a nest of ants on a hill, anything that could592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMed2m0Ays
help him in case he needed to make a speedy escape.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcVW5xAkae
The closer they got the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLpy131XhY
more David could see various signs of the fallen wreckage. A metal plate592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NtUoEt242
here and there, a propeller hanging from the branches of a tree, an 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE36dhqkfh
eyeball as well as some splatter of blood, the rest of the body probably592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTy9DnMuE0
scavenged by an animal. David avoided looking at the remains, from both592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFxy1chExv
the ship and his, former crewmates. He wasn't Squeamish around blood 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GPSR4O7BZ
and he wasn't afraid he'd see one of his friends but whenever he looked 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uZ4VGbQXu
it made him think that he was supposed to be there as well. That though 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTgFhVYdyv
made David shudder and turned his smile into more of a frown.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ91upJwhFF
They were able to hear 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e0FdM8Q67
the ship before they could see it. Not the flying fish that was burning 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A3YU69KZD
down and lying in ruins but the empire ship. David knew from experience 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYU89TtwDi
that the newer ships did not make as much noise but the imperial ones, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrOrwm9HcO
with their outdated void-engines made a huge racket.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNYdlPd1hk
"Get down, behind the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg50tjFqNM
trees!" Came a hushed order from Gob as David felt his rope tugged and 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwzwDqUrnh
he fell to the ground with a grunt. David was sure Gob was just enjoying592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT68Ikpumw9
inflicting the pain at this point. Not like the soldiers were close and592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDinHunnrlg
no matter how ill prepared the rebels were their uniforms meshed quite 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUk9i6qUHO
nicely with the surroundings.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBtpx0yJ73
With a groan David 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYaF73xs3
looked up, and saw Gob taking out a telescope out of his coat to look at592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRwfUfUIpP
the soldiers. "Camps, they're planning on camping here" he said with a 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTWEPZX9px
grunt. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Hv5ezinn
They all had to cover 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlPfFigQxg
their ears in the next moment as the imperial ship took flight, gaining 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm2jJ4OC5M
aptitude first and then flying above David and his newfound friends. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX7qsw3Wqq
Luckily the ship was quite high so it didn't disturb the trees around 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf5pV8gu3Q
them.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwKUWTSEe0
With a tug of the rope 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhEY6vA4Pt
Gob called David over to his vintage point. Slowly David crawled up to 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCqLlTwgLB
Gob and clumsily held the telescope to his working eye. He could see the592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE6vLPGmMA
'Flying fish' his home for the past few years or at least what was left592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTkmZbvKAp
of it. David could also see the beginning of the encampment with tents 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbaWQRj6Qo
being set up as well as some markings to establish a perimeter.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUTWhCwZwu
"So, where's this hold?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F1uM2V62f
Gob asked, still glaring at the soldiers as if he could see all the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1xoTxdh5J
details without the telescope. Without a trace of hesitancy David 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfZstdFxcB
pointed his finger to around the middle of the ship.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ovb3Ly1J
"It's there and looks 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxuA7H28wQ
like it's still mostly intact." Score one for David. "Why do you think 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlshCG5cQ88
they're setting up around the ship?" He asked Gob592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJL23xEqad
"Corruption knows. They 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIchuXk2Fim
might've found the weapons, and guessed they're for us, so now they're 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLVA0Y8kyY
waiting and doing a poor job of setting up an ambush. Or maybe they're 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr12AYcAuyG
just guarding the ship till more reinforcements can come?" Gob answered 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtaDIELMat
looking sideways at David." I don't really care why. Now give it back" 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9cJPRQsOL
he said holding out his hand for the telescope.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRVahHQ9pZ
David made a move to 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWIVqQ3KlV
hand the telescope back but something caught his attention, a soldier, 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjW6Zna7e2
David wasn't sure why but something in his mind pulled him towards that 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFGZR0mlGF
person. Ignoring Gobs growl David kept looking through the telescope at 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqz4HgtIS
the soldier as he spoke to someone else and pointed a finger, right at 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4H8lOyrQe
them. "I think we're in trouble."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCge3lVKALJ
Gob pulled the telescope592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPT7e22ilM
away from David with force and took a look and saw the same soldier 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFErvgq5MD
pointing and a group of others heading towards their location. "Nothing 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88aBSohnbm
we can do here anyway, we'll head back now." Gob said more for the 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDTsFLOsDD
benefit of his troops rather than Davids. He pulled David up with that 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwNBCc4ha1
rope, this time he was ready for it and didn't lose his balance while 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxy8F6B017
standing up. What David wasn't ready for though was Gob pulling him 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5nZLytZV5
close. "I still don't trust you." He whispered in a deadly tone. "I'm 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzNtIR0Hle
not sure if you had anything to do with the soldiers seeing us or not 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDHRmtWQz
but I'm willing to bet you did." He gave a big sight. "Even so, you're 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEsA8j9PiX
right. We're above leaving strangers to die, and she'd never forgive me 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8VSxmP1zu
for leaving you to the imperials. At least without a good flying 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkJuQCxNnx
reason." He added the last part in a grumble592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZMhqGxcwT
Gob pulled away from 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mezGLxC7M
David, pulling the rope to nudging David to follow him and continued 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjT17e6buD
speaking in a rather fake cheery tone "So you're in luck, we're bringing592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPLsAdLDMD
you to our home. So if you shit in it, I'll be more than happy to drown592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxDizLDStJ
you in your own shit" 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtO10C18VX
"Now form up and let's 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqwQn4Hkt
go!" He barked, to the rest of the group as they proceeded further into 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPyPhoBGfb
the forest and away from the soldiers. Hopefully somewhere safe and with592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sFl2hJp4h
a roof above, as David felt that he'd had his fill of the outside for a592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMy9xdVMkR
long while.
