Ether possession. A 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQzf6imHkl
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71jZoHxKPa
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMCT9nHbbG
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5reLuS38R
enough to classify a person as possessed.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rTLsr4sOx
Many believe that mages 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LqFw4zW8C
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqG17LOXDP
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnXrGxQiZr
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngHj8E9T0Q
tackle possessions.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgHexakJor
No, the peasants who 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZprmnUTy4
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7NexSVCnt
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM5Wr2MJZc
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYZdLEiaFF
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr28MiJh6aN
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXfkJG1Gyw
Having said that not 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6TKncrb8m
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7kZ3WWBbw
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXuwyJzUeY
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkGVkh1Dtp
their presence there being constant.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUK1eGclqL
Second group that 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOux7DRzofA
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfkrCQ8NXy
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ772AmAdJIn
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxHRnUKi21
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zgzgDVBPB
forever.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SmIzDBASN
Third group that 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ57moJRSm7
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnat4XcPn0b
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO7ElDTclW
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKmmcOoq2w
inconclusive. 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSoQUj1oif
Something else to note 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNERLOWBrh
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa1RZQqsTj
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXYU8zMima
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMOkh5KJ8b
world...666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ZkZ3cBwt

Who would've thought 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkVOxkBLUl
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ocqDpoWfE
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ztnps3ob
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl3mF2mDcI
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpia1hsa9s
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ36nV6aGyO
than the other.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGOBvlkBCY
Thankfully the walk 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfiwn4zjrs
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn65LVjwQGT
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JLb8Zc1xj
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TSgWtkjHN
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKb40jIVDA
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACw5gak4nw
pathway from any praying eyes.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkiAcdUv70
As David entered the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLwk2MVlYy
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78FfA11WRI
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFvJjeYchP
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN45gHiFNqH
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C1NUrNIm5
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVVR9MyzNL
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiimuUd2Ai
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRc0XkwcJr
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU5sjHGJAg
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJbtIWDJIV
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr4kKti8Tw
"Get a move on. We need 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY7oHlajKK
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiKDaQJp2
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxi2IokQMm
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbrhcjExy9
and rushed to catch up.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PiZwAz6r7
Gob led them down one of666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6KmVNLWdu
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r9CuNp31D
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo0bsvyyWR
After a few more turns 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzGwxKHxDk
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyEKHl7ZmO
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKAGGQJSDu
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtOnV9WSHo
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEcv9h2pMJ
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Z1CbQfZe
"So, what do you guys do666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLYtd0aWZf
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcBSfxMDXl
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIWh38AHGq
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAjyktmvcK
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ipoQdEfm4
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2wSS1DG1j
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOdKAgbkRo
David even managed a 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBkw74jJ2b
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3h7zyRQOF
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfifAHR6fQ
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12uKwefthO
headfirst into the ground.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8IKmcWwQc
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UCPAlKx7K
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsYNV2FkrJ
David entered the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXsjoguijW
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLDSJzxu2o
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9PGMForfN
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Ym8sMukX
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuog9xRhaw4
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqVjLUYWH6
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczNhOQVzhK
"Perfect, leave us 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbehro6yZdA
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSz0WMsHWH
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz94GGbmrXE
"Yes Gob?"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0mUdp2XJc
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5b6oxMxoV
The woman gave Gob a warm smile." I appreciate the concern, but I hardly see a point in killing me in the middle of our camp."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYN6ZSugrX
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa41ZsFpIq
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBYosrb6O3
Gob stilled at that but 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZHm9zXPyC
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb9ndOPhHQ
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPwH1fL3pX
gone.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHyRGPPOl
Francesca turned towards666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYxQSf8BlO
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevLxGtZxg5
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvEyNzBRXJ
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Hj2Ao4IC
side of the table.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKUz9Lggdi
David nodded and moved 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB7344iayU
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqixegjcRwr
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMOy9JSAv9
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSJ4OPGJrH
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWAqdFkkJ0
"Who chose you?" The 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAAZKKM2Qu
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonqgv5xqnJ
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpjykp0u1s
"Excuse me?"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAZYPfROiL
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDeMuTEHtx
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlP7iN0MnV
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89HL3iQ1ga
"We have been chosen by 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ta1SZ1VA
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpRvs2CMoX
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegXgfynbji
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblAh45dgNZ
David wanted to laugh at666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFtISOOlHS
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5suPTQnwDO
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oFZc5CC4B
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VgEdPJBbA
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvn9k50AQu
feel anything else right now, though.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0KaO3fiUQ
"Sorry, no idea." He 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jYxHnrsNL
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJZgG8o3zq
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONEFvx70mr
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoqqIS3NJB
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlYNn5jGci
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13EpWMew1C
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2beABIXH8
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hgh5MyWls
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjZWbh8xAN
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntipckpF4V
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscriopK727
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSuyMdlGgl
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UKXpauCbJ
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjslJ82ZPDx
David nodded, as if his 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHu9Cgq6h2
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMvE0QpxMm
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQi6wuMP7
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xizs6gcd0
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckQu84XSy9
She shook her head 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTgEoFIeQO
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzElTdFTJj
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZkTtKAdbC
you'd know more, but..."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB3o5CIraB
"Sorry for not being more helpful."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8y26tlz9L
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeXT1BNPIU
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDOUQyPFNq
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhGKSQAKfg
David sensing an 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46M25jEHEg
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1EXMv49la
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYducTeBky
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X1UpH500H
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKH2w8ymww
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTEsToKQUd
Francesca looked up to 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx3ayT6n9d
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti4AX6VU6i
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrD8pUoehh
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TiehGQPKg
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnkl7xRfis
you traveled all over Astaria"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolFYiQ5BEa
"Traveling the isles 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9quimz046
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxFMgzKjG3
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTuL0hpJcA
"You jest." She shook 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4aMeEP0fp
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgdQiRn5rL
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY25zIkPptm
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ilmJ6ggef
"My condolences for your666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRuJHIcQV8
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYkhn39oX9
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL4XcAo6fb
David nodded and looked 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BREm8LgCy
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXZCOeU72
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwaINP80o
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8cbgD84Bh
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRD1WeN5fY
could not see the good in a person then who could?666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03lakRho8r
"Gob believes you are 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Z0mJx2pL
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MOC0TD3Du
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtbXwJGNDL
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaAsIe0jmO
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ls61yd49Z
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaqFCHfOyL
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFU0BhvTvK
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq0qSQqeIQ
David shuddered at the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPCQ0EuyYc
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzFV46XX6y
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WYOPW0Q4x
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18RycPVYX
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aO2yWcjHM
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGBaNpsFi4
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tzakUyinA
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9MxbPkCZ6
so.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNa1bM9zDv
Francesca giggled and 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv9ghvy9pw
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aaeW5Ktg2
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbnG8WPbKp
bath as well"666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQEk5IoLll
David gave a fake laugh,666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesoh1rtzwp
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVY0LbT0ED
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHzb9fpb0Z
appreciate it, my lady."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31PqU5yMtC
"None of that, it's Francesca."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbcgggfTBM
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ2wHowXRR
Francesca nodded and 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12l3rMoniW
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVmUZa7lkH
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwSZ9tra9R
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPz1Ff5Fqs
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt26uSDwiV
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZLMidKeGQ
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYMX2alzZx
Rubbing his wrists to 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Jbsst7xG
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAMXGfLkYQ
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8mdqWJJke
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjsqDl7vpC
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFY8YSPzV2
to her.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvJSUHZh25
~don't trust her, don't 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z3hr0jSem
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQREa9D8S1
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFg58kQAB3
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuS8a1IDrC
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzZ9xRy2eS
betray him first if he doesn't.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGilVRV7gA
His new home didn't seem666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbLlUICGxj
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlKfjulU8c
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uWS3tPFES
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmunT9WZhIa
starts gathering around the pots." 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcyZJFfJtj
David just nodded at 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeZRIriU7N
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzSclVX4fk
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP1fsmG19u
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbVfhjmIaE
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeomlgJkte7
He looked around and 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qnJMTpyla
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlg83dG8IK
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp04sakTSS
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7i25WDFru
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvKIcub0Gi
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hRhN91Rz6
As he laid down further 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dlduLrCBv
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWuVI6Q2eN
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGMtVTMnqE
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z5GGrIfI6
coins as well and decided to rummage his pockets for them, sadly he 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSoVe9KkoE
couldn't find any.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s0kOCUYIq
Giving a sad sigh, David666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc0iYAI9oH
started playing with the locket. It seemed to be gold or at least a 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo6hNDBiX0
golden colour. After a while he managed to open it, revealing a picture 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF8coHeFH0
of Boyd, a woman and a child. They all seemed happy, which made an 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkC7IFWyin
unexplained feeling of anger rise within David and he closed the locket,666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc11U3npcd
putting it back in his pocket. The faster he pawns the falling thing 666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeSueOuHqV
the better.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhfHxIxUFy
Not much else followed after that last thought as the days finally caught up to David and he finally fell asleep.
