Ether possession. A 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2KnwrSjWr
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznTYBhTtEb
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMjsFcxOCP
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvOq7bvM3z
enough to classify a person as possessed.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oGpqNvjVs
Many believe that mages 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCjbeUUiPV
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qPH8EuULb
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z8aY9zLMD
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0NBG3tup5
tackle possessions.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmD5agD2Qd
No, the peasants who 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCdjlc2BPv
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddn75Ke8zo
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5UUUia6ut
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mm56B66RO
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pKolsoSKq
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxwBLmliZd
Having said that not 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROCOiw8BmX
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhoTniUhaR
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCfowEdP69
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xk4ojQiBk
their presence there being constant.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6xRsmc2kZ
Second group that 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHM9hn7Eqg
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTzfeGye6u
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nS1jVjVAL
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdcoVsHwSI
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa3H3SbSfB
forever.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug2ImO1FKU
Third group that 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdPN8iHAeT
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5wj0Ws2m
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzLVr78vtL
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJkSOYW4RH
inconclusive. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VAuRSixSx
Something else to note 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DkAAOnUjd
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfW0OTD1lT
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0NeTfIaxI
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAmkDICamT
world...656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOKfO4Z5kR

Who would've thought 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbm0Z9RZ9q
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC64YhM0M4
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYh1lnZryd
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqVpiC2rbz
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYCYp0nkTK
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMAEReczur
than the other.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjY0RgwbVI
Thankfully the walk 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLv2M3gZvB
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiotbmEH2Q
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukApfFzg6U
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6qEmI5CTh
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7G7MufiwQ
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPAT3WfxJ
pathway from any praying eyes.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP5LAWZFhz
As David entered the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2BQmEszSU
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Gj1iDwdP
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwPV0awLEr
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fAvL412bU
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJKwutxBbz
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDMo39fH22
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzxeae7cPL
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ2N55MF6h
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTYRlFHRIM
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMIQ53l8Wk
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPtKdzBlyN
"Get a move on. We need 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcutI2A6oq
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPc7YIfKAw
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKk2d1N85z
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvo3LyNWrd
and rushed to catch up.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNY58PEhwO
Gob led them down one of656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1EYg47H4L
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWKkAJ9qaR
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iFYWHL3lV
After a few more turns 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGtLVHLXOV
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUCCM0KZp6
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRQ2dbp5y1
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HFPAQBryS
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQEPdnGbT3
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZc4cvYVvh
"So, what do you guys do656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pRNtSG4Bv
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlViXGXzTdj
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfxXW1zEvL
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXW8YOgOlc
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQg7TcYADr
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vDS0aaBtS
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fGscTjDxi
David even managed a 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgzFuZSws1
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPLzi68gL
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec0p6DpsiG
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoslbrDcNH
headfirst into the ground.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXtu8tlDWy
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo8B9vllqh
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQF0QD7N79
David entered the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi59CuDlFg
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9m7DUb3Ex
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN9n3jbRFp
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe7TpVPOae
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PI94P0kcN
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE55EHwjVPy
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4w4ryNVTm
"Perfect, leave us 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nfzq3vSNB
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCiHcxTUu0
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8nAcnCjyI
"Yes Gob?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov1XvrS8JP
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOppIDl3q60
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."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvSDPbrh7
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEczc3E4DdO
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uUgT2nJNV
Gob stilled at that but 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT7U0RI8P0
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfhoE4EXjp
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucImxe2VpB
gone.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HkZMLUSAK
Francesca turned towards656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D5STcJxjr
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIGKXCi6hT
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Z6ewPC0D
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwpEoUJpXo
side of the table.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1hLCvhFW0
David nodded and moved 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ocmVgHjUA
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQuOmsFHwd
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X0P79RLtf
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N3t00r5RH
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkTXMzEtdO
"Who chose you?" The 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ugdURWGU
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr7ItFFB32
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjiUSc8sS4
"Excuse me?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYlFXClC9S
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbNrKMIiwO
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSJcyzRdZY
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3pTVG8Vxy
"We have been chosen by 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXu9H5eJY4
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr3mwvfsSk
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNLY7FYYX
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tvR4MpJmc
David wanted to laugh at656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Nc3w56s9
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDr9hcKuG1
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZvH22Rg6F
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPCUjR7O5A
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveD0a0Sut5
feel anything else right now, though.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79w4hkO9Q2
"Sorry, no idea." He 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC33uYbq4S
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw69oo1sB1
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6zhRzCKOc
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJfZN0jzqk
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRapyC89tI
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEFQhWFsXi
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUacqcsJNrt
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kwJ4AHE1U
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2jaNbPnpW
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKqo7MxJ20
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy21EnN4fD
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHV0oblhSE
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNla61F4oLF
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0oCXywC9b
David nodded, as if his 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PQLi6gkrh
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqE0yVvXJz
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHOMOvAVes
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ClYAeKb4B
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IwMF5crOV
She shook her head 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpg4B1zNbt
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1kzsm547
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfncy4aFK4l
you'd know more, but..."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gx1mpGsSD
"Sorry for not being more helpful."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKVKYeYSWa
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifRrImQmL4
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPxDCnvIWG
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bcploQyhD
David sensing an 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGc3QmqgjU
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX1HtyrePW
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXilQAY6iYf
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8790FOn5X
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8mH1Z6v8B
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJzqKqd64T
Francesca looked up to 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZnFLgIVOG
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqz8D6baGc
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQLmUKMcMp
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCxGrs7FBO
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDifEAL7Sgx
you traveled all over Astaria"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgReJd50pG
"Traveling the isles 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Jx7frUFa
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOaxv2oUox
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuUyJOmztm
"You jest." She shook 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaWNQB8Y8d
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ho8fhonBe
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eyjGGjchB
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeCMoFqXkX
"My condolences for your656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDTyjGNISf
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSUdP5KdQx
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w2IWniZi5
David nodded and looked 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg7KsJGtP7
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59U6tRTjPp
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmmd2dMcwD
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJDCP286EE
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc5YS10xRl
could not see the good in a person then who could?656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SUMqz47Ax
"Gob believes you are 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGX8XP4dCs
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBkbPOYOc5
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zAfcFco2K
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiWvr9aNQP
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf6BTCXche
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXoCg9UQRq
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDmkd17Sv8
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt5kiNZZVZ
David shuddered at the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2odoqlmJLF
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tTSAP4OQw
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUPJZK6L61
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnbnN69GT5
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpC41nMJpe
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlyx3bATeI
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dcBIhoThn
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphgOQKGfOl
so.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR38U2CYkL
Francesca giggled and 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy7OBZD5Qh
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSKTzDbF6F
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN8TWBkljo
bath as well"656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4JOJgORFT
David gave a fake laugh,656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrH1CNmtf2
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1psANVdKq4
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZY8zTeU5
appreciate it, my lady."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUIqGmzYgc
"None of that, it's Francesca."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSQdjW1chu
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghSivALhnk
Francesca nodded and 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOGJ7Knm27
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhGnApLR0s
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXVabo6htr
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhuXl6T5tH
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17uT1Mi25y
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHUr8r7q0i
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQ3YOHDzg
Rubbing his wrists to 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw619mRCWt3
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbv45pzsu
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19PDyEKxWR
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpdZlBIWQD
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg1WiZLgBI
to her.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV3DHIjhdL
~don't trust her, don't 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLPfon39JX
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp92Iyyr3Z3
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeAdQPQnxO
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCvTEJByg
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72NmBUavPq
betray him first if he doesn't.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuQAGv440O
His new home didn't seem656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS2fzJITXk
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGpG4QPt9o
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV2f8pMn4a
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zAyFQtVGD
starts gathering around the pots." 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MPYEHyVuY
David just nodded at 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSdXrf8lEc
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJsyTdHki
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUCoSv3huj
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOLCNLku1R
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmpqEwRZN4
He looked around and 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVoQqjfyFF
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR61WUud7Ow
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn5v5fK9Kq
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRaT3n7lh2
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo0M2nho8a
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLEMAxDJj
As he laid down further 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJtPB2FcOW
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgtbGyptlw
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDeBoQZHat
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEhQt3jJHD
coins as well and decided to rummage his pockets for them, sadly he 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8EKJa7LrO
couldn't find any.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRENaKyZ45
Giving a sad sigh, David656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCY2zOpmfa
started playing with the locket. It seemed to be gold or at least a 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9HroK0hYu
golden colour. After a while he managed to open it, revealing a picture 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2mfj29ui
of Boyd, a woman and a child. They all seemed happy, which made an 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF6HFavzMg
unexplained feeling of anger rise within David and he closed the locket,656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqA9L53AlD
putting it back in his pocket. The faster he pawns the falling thing 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jVzcaQlSn
the better.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHL8VMidu6
Not much else followed after that last thought as the days finally caught up to David and he finally fell asleep.
