Ether possession. A 366Please respect copyright.PENANADj1hrDw6dZ
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the366Please respect copyright.PENANAqBCmhcdKDQ
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 366Please respect copyright.PENANA6rqZRSpYMx
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 366Please respect copyright.PENANAYh8owS383Q
enough to classify a person as possessed.366Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2GPNPzeOS
Many believe that mages 366Please respect copyright.PENANA9LEDjd39Ly
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 366Please respect copyright.PENANAzWTtuE9ArV
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer366Please respect copyright.PENANAe4Dp71wy4f
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 366Please respect copyright.PENANAoucOIB4OB1
tackle possessions.366Please respect copyright.PENANAnRBLeuvmju
No, the peasants who 366Please respect copyright.PENANAYu80btR8I8
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 366Please respect copyright.PENANA3oIqA2K5tJ
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 366Please respect copyright.PENANAs5InruWplj
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 366Please respect copyright.PENANAgzuACT9Vul
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 366Please respect copyright.PENANAk9ub5lOsE5
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAlx4MjfOBd5
Having said that not 366Please respect copyright.PENANA6dS7PQ9XoT
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being366Please respect copyright.PENANApTEiFCOgek
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 366Please respect copyright.PENANABHkgZd30QI
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 366Please respect copyright.PENANAvPrcoYhlae
their presence there being constant.366Please respect copyright.PENANA3vs3uHZxfO
Second group that 366Please respect copyright.PENANAV29bYogj1j
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 366Please respect copyright.PENANAT9uWzIHUhQ
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 366Please respect copyright.PENANA9fZQroUy0I
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 366Please respect copyright.PENANADDFEbrDbQ5
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 366Please respect copyright.PENANAiYrX3T33Hg
forever.366Please respect copyright.PENANAfygGwS0cRv
Third group that 366Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ9p0rsaNl
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's366Please respect copyright.PENANAAZFGGKMtsi
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose366Please respect copyright.PENANAwDtraFdgyz
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 366Please respect copyright.PENANArAmtnYynbD
inconclusive. 366Please respect copyright.PENANApqVp9InvWi
Something else to note 366Please respect copyright.PENANAU2UMqo0jKx
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to366Please respect copyright.PENANAx5v5MMBCPp
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 366Please respect copyright.PENANAptMJbexP9M
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 366Please respect copyright.PENANAUeRAh05PIJ
world...366Please respect copyright.PENANAg0XVDRqTqI

366Please respect copyright.PENANAdA71lUP15h
Who would've thought 366Please respect copyright.PENANAujetrKxVAi
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAtjUIy4WarT
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 366Please respect copyright.PENANAE7tzttgBsB
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 366Please respect copyright.PENANAAbeogdnmye
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 366Please respect copyright.PENANATRBnT5G5Z7
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 366Please respect copyright.PENANARBA9YJzcTw
than the other.366Please respect copyright.PENANAiFbyQayRUd
Thankfully the walk 366Please respect copyright.PENANAXhCZzYstdB
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 366Please respect copyright.PENANAoEUrYHYkyX
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 366Please respect copyright.PENANAy2Slq5qok6
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a366Please respect copyright.PENANA0sly3aqSfa
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 366Please respect copyright.PENANAFFbzir0Mys
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the366Please respect copyright.PENANAbygCMHoMyc
pathway from any praying eyes.366Please respect copyright.PENANAjkInC9YBXz
As David entered the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAsi6R8NwtQg
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A366Please respect copyright.PENANA8L34baFwhu
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.366Please respect copyright.PENANAfrCvc4cvGp
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 366Please respect copyright.PENANA8kgGfD3tSu
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAHPabpdVPd2
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a366Please respect copyright.PENANAJWlcev5dnJ
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,366Please respect copyright.PENANAy2qJ17Mm1o
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 366Please respect copyright.PENANAwgzvRgNX6c
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 366Please respect copyright.PENANAjzuWQnQa9o
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 366Please respect copyright.PENANA5rOd1Q7B3i
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.366Please respect copyright.PENANAl7FBJ33doW
"Get a move on. We need 366Please respect copyright.PENANA3qSHz86zwH
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng366Please respect copyright.PENANAAzb7oLBRit
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 366Please respect copyright.PENANAzb98dY2S3k
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 366Please respect copyright.PENANAETB8kteRbz
and rushed to catch up.366Please respect copyright.PENANA1kmI2sd9kb
Gob led them down one of366Please respect copyright.PENANAxQunB54UmD
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 366Please respect copyright.PENANApcF4RBoC16
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAGbAXFqC50p
After a few more turns 366Please respect copyright.PENANAzSzertOY7I
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 366Please respect copyright.PENANAMHQoflTOAq
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 366Please respect copyright.PENANAbDGRm0T9eU
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 366Please respect copyright.PENANA57oEBNtHrB
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 366Please respect copyright.PENANANwwqIxd1ml
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.366Please respect copyright.PENANAhdejmr1e8N
"So, what do you guys do366Please respect copyright.PENANAStqjr0RZVa
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 366Please respect copyright.PENANAGJCXeSvYHz
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 366Please respect copyright.PENANAZh9wsmRyEO
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 366Please respect copyright.PENANArHEPwtI5Yn
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 366Please respect copyright.PENANAeSbwgkpr2i
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 366Please respect copyright.PENANAa0kzilsPOQ
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.366Please respect copyright.PENANAJRR3WB6PtE
David even managed a 366Please respect copyright.PENANAFAve65QMQ5
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 366Please respect copyright.PENANAMqNR3HFKsh
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 366Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ta680JOe
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 366Please respect copyright.PENANAu5WK0qaobt
headfirst into the ground.366Please respect copyright.PENANAwmYzvdjjHd
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.366Please respect copyright.PENANAYeSDQJUXX2
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAlTj0c5ks2E
David entered the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAZYllrw8jNs
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a366Please respect copyright.PENANAkz5b96B7lZ
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 366Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qe8j52WcG
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 366Please respect copyright.PENANAjQylsyGm25
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.366Please respect copyright.PENANAtrZmb98UgA
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.366Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y50DS4glZ
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.366Please respect copyright.PENANAXSxDcSWWl0
"Perfect, leave us 366Please respect copyright.PENANAMlORIUc7vW
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 366Please respect copyright.PENANAwX221F7s8l
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.366Please respect copyright.PENANAx8YCk0Izng
"Yes Gob?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAdf1C59bjFd
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."366Please respect copyright.PENANATPZVTwnQ0x
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."366Please respect copyright.PENANAa1GVfkGVYT
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."366Please respect copyright.PENANAMIR4ht3h1K
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 366Please respect copyright.PENANAkNVFsdEarS
Gob stilled at that but 366Please respect copyright.PENANAgo8VcUGj7P
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.366Please respect copyright.PENANAvMBac2eIrh
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 366Please respect copyright.PENANACcgjbVOwUq
gone.366Please respect copyright.PENANAj27TUlVv37
Francesca turned towards366Please respect copyright.PENANAVp9EYAiedw
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 366Please respect copyright.PENANA5EG6FSSU1O
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 366Please respect copyright.PENANAuiqEvq4RMS
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 366Please respect copyright.PENANAYhYidS032W
side of the table.366Please respect copyright.PENANA4eo5vHhPwc
David nodded and moved 366Please respect copyright.PENANAayggHoP4Kd
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 366Please respect copyright.PENANAwkRsokKsR0
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and366Please respect copyright.PENANAlssDn9QsDg
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 366Please respect copyright.PENANA10ppfx00ph
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,366Please respect copyright.PENANAgfKzsoKXm4
"Who chose you?" The 366Please respect copyright.PENANAXwdb6wGbok
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 366Please respect copyright.PENANATWkbxkRPfy
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.366Please respect copyright.PENANAlELsE44JDE
"Excuse me?"366Please respect copyright.PENANA8plkVO4BTm
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."366Please respect copyright.PENANAmiI0sCRiVX
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAKsaA2EWIdo
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 366Please respect copyright.PENANA5bYBh5m3S7
"We have been chosen by 366Please respect copyright.PENANAoKdSwz069D
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 366Please respect copyright.PENANAWSStRbBGZY
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAGXeDqEpNxl
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAYE202k4wX8
David wanted to laugh at366Please respect copyright.PENANAIqZ7ZFVjpi
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after366Please respect copyright.PENANATFLLrAe7U6
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 366Please respect copyright.PENANAnL0HNZX2XU
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 366Please respect copyright.PENANApn2cF7opyd
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 366Please respect copyright.PENANALYwLT3j5fx
feel anything else right now, though.366Please respect copyright.PENANAUq8VC9lPCZ
"Sorry, no idea." He 366Please respect copyright.PENANARI8RPAmi8m
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other366Please respect copyright.PENANAZPWNbc7r5g
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."366Please respect copyright.PENANAWymZFmASvD
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.366Please respect copyright.PENANAIq3zCdk3v5
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 366Please respect copyright.PENANA8vGZyLJhp6
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAdqQvlwjzg6
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 366Please respect copyright.PENANAyqIgmZQgww
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 366Please respect copyright.PENANA5AzZD0XNmZ
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 366Please respect copyright.PENANAuSWM8NDh4t
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 366Please respect copyright.PENANA6VXB8WFckE
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.366Please respect copyright.PENANA2GwQfzEsNE
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 366Please respect copyright.PENANAkqo21njgbW
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 366Please respect copyright.PENANAom8PKVRAmI
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."366Please respect copyright.PENANAAEQ8caQ4Gz
David nodded, as if his 366Please respect copyright.PENANAEuWGuDNWoa
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 366Please respect copyright.PENANAv6S3jAxn8X
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for366Please respect copyright.PENANAIAvYGDzMxz
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAsk3qfXnMv0
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.366Please respect copyright.PENANAC03Lq0GKbr
She shook her head 366Please respect copyright.PENANAFUr8iuCH6W
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 366Please respect copyright.PENANAEaksVz8urc
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 366Please respect copyright.PENANAuRIoca971M
you'd know more, but..."366Please respect copyright.PENANAhyG15tlDGg
"Sorry for not being more helpful."366Please respect copyright.PENANALDbrUK1jhj
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 366Please respect copyright.PENANAjh6GRLqSkp
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 366Please respect copyright.PENANAVhkB38Oa2i
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.366Please respect copyright.PENANAN6sjZprMPf
David sensing an 366Please respect copyright.PENANAQDj4bE5Ese
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 366Please respect copyright.PENANAYzyFf9fP7f
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 366Please respect copyright.PENANAWKrfaoF3BS
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 366Please respect copyright.PENANAbm2Eq2hZQN
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 366Please respect copyright.PENANAMI1Z7eIQLx
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.366Please respect copyright.PENANArebqVHMFrW
Francesca looked up to 366Please respect copyright.PENANAIaZXyVWM8t
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 366Please respect copyright.PENANAM2YPmTcP9A
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 366Please respect copyright.PENANAIDRDZQuxJM
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 366Please respect copyright.PENANAhr247Ofbro
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 366Please respect copyright.PENANAaZQUmVEvsj
you traveled all over Astaria"366Please respect copyright.PENANA4AXBSswpa2
"Traveling the isles 366Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Ki10EBne
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 366Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ay7dmW92E
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.366Please respect copyright.PENANA3mv8SuLdoU
"You jest." She shook 366Please respect copyright.PENANAdoG3ksmv9k
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 366Please respect copyright.PENANAmaJr24cYuZ
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAOMpj3eYlxP
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."366Please respect copyright.PENANAUsf0IfieGt
"My condolences for your366Please respect copyright.PENANA3xfA8j6JSF
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 366Please respect copyright.PENANA1pOLhCViO5
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."366Please respect copyright.PENANAvANE4vhkGA
David nodded and looked 366Please respect copyright.PENANAwRNH3xIb0k
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were366Please respect copyright.PENANAr13vZTfrO4
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAMI5DuouNNX
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 366Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Sl7eL8Bo
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 366Please respect copyright.PENANACzVLI7VOIG
could not see the good in a person then who could?366Please respect copyright.PENANA8GSKStp008
"Gob believes you are 366Please respect copyright.PENANAgIAeGC4aEL
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 366Please respect copyright.PENANALvM6NbTPfC
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 366Please respect copyright.PENANAWCKVhPLN4W
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least366Please respect copyright.PENANAuMoMIygZmS
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 366Please respect copyright.PENANAyxrj0QXzGI
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 366Please respect copyright.PENANAVYbbc9jNSt
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 366Please respect copyright.PENANAj719R2ji9s
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."366Please respect copyright.PENANAMye1uGjXPP
David shuddered at the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAZB8IHdRf2m
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 366Please respect copyright.PENANAbsd6nCIoKh
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 366Please respect copyright.PENANAm93Pxgh1Gm
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 366Please respect copyright.PENANAoi9SmTAEMq
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 366Please respect copyright.PENANA5vRIfALNdk
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 366Please respect copyright.PENANAd15akXyAYU
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 366Please respect copyright.PENANAm8cXwuqsyB
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 366Please respect copyright.PENANAfy3epO7Jy9
so.366Please respect copyright.PENANAida4e9bYLJ
Francesca giggled and 366Please respect copyright.PENANAKS2zbq9POW
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you366Please respect copyright.PENANAovKoQklIxu
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 366Please respect copyright.PENANAdWcXhkTaR2
bath as well"366Please respect copyright.PENANA7bQiZI19Mz
David gave a fake laugh,366Please respect copyright.PENANAOkwkY8e1EE
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 366Please respect copyright.PENANAuMGkWFB7CX
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 366Please respect copyright.PENANAVTUcn0BJpO
appreciate it, my lady."366Please respect copyright.PENANA4R2pKmmrJk
"None of that, it's Francesca."366Please respect copyright.PENANA4baJxm0h1j
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."366Please respect copyright.PENANAcTngK2wVe1
Francesca nodded and 366Please respect copyright.PENANAD1w9wNIRCI
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAbrY7zqvAcC
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 366Please respect copyright.PENANA6BDm3I7Hrz
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAzFIT2yjsIM
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 366Please respect copyright.PENANAUGka62pDGT
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 366Please respect copyright.PENANAJt8j86Z25N
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.366Please respect copyright.PENANAsufUjBmYEH
Rubbing his wrists to 366Please respect copyright.PENANAjQztQ42tyC
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 366Please respect copyright.PENANAWshs5HIQYp
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 366Please respect copyright.PENANAXMyFFg7a6w
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 366Please respect copyright.PENANAKUKSglQHKI
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 366Please respect copyright.PENANA1U7s9YABbt
to her.366Please respect copyright.PENANA8am6rlpXhA
~don't trust her, don't 366Please respect copyright.PENANA2KTI914VTj
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that366Please respect copyright.PENANA3pM8bVxT05
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 366Please respect copyright.PENANASMy2WgGUkb
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 366Please respect copyright.PENANAQayyBjvoEO
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 366Please respect copyright.PENANAgUuUVRDXjI
betray him first if he doesn't.366Please respect copyright.PENANA7H0Waaw8EU
His new home didn't seem366Please respect copyright.PENANAkNPeHJlY2D
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.366Please respect copyright.PENANAkytUFrlZX1
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAvP6YHfXXhI
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 366Please respect copyright.PENANAitllhlj6Nb
starts gathering around the pots." 366Please respect copyright.PENANAbu8C1aVqQD
David just nodded at 366Please respect copyright.PENANA1VfdlUWwOF
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 366Please respect copyright.PENANAPFBKaWYgMp
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 366Please respect copyright.PENANAYJHOAUSgIE
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 366Please respect copyright.PENANACllRLOw4Px
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.366Please respect copyright.PENANABRwNZ0OJZB
He looked around and 366Please respect copyright.PENANAk3rQRhshWk
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 366Please respect copyright.PENANAP9yPLCg912
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially366Please respect copyright.PENANAd57Y9DbQS0
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 366Please respect copyright.PENANAg47UDLxSsH
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 366Please respect copyright.PENANAi9p1Zegr2A
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.366Please respect copyright.PENANAXHtAGAkVYv
As he laid down further 366Please respect copyright.PENANAwYfJC9X5he
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 366Please respect copyright.PENANAqFSuC36OMI
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 366Please respect copyright.PENANAX5KTwNFGFM
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some366Please respect copyright.PENANAFgEegaTJKg
