Ether possession. A 367Please respect copyright.PENANAvYPdyvtCHs
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the367Please respect copyright.PENANAr9gIyC2lEQ
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 367Please respect copyright.PENANAyPado1TeH5
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 367Please respect copyright.PENANA4jRSmwx6JN
enough to classify a person as possessed.367Please respect copyright.PENANAeFCDuMU8nN
Many believe that mages 367Please respect copyright.PENANAFyr36GNWfO
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 367Please respect copyright.PENANAvNZrb91uZl
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer367Please respect copyright.PENANA3iV8uzRa7T
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 367Please respect copyright.PENANAtwd60JnITJ
tackle possessions.367Please respect copyright.PENANALpGGJAmgem
No, the peasants who 367Please respect copyright.PENANABM6aYkrpr6
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 367Please respect copyright.PENANAsDjkUpcHIZ
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 367Please respect copyright.PENANAZUPVO1OhGB
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 367Please respect copyright.PENANAHt82P6zv5V
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 367Please respect copyright.PENANAbbQP2ovAl3
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 367Please respect copyright.PENANAoPWXl1XIrd
Having said that not 367Please respect copyright.PENANAPQeEkkuT7S
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being367Please respect copyright.PENANAOD7rzJA086
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 367Please respect copyright.PENANAmklhg1SyGa
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 367Please respect copyright.PENANAyjuRkQ31Tw
their presence there being constant.367Please respect copyright.PENANACtYjKwpL3E
Second group that 367Please respect copyright.PENANAjnAp4npcEe
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 367Please respect copyright.PENANA7DSwDqSRXg
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 367Please respect copyright.PENANAZh3lc6xnCW
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 367Please respect copyright.PENANAiCn4iy52kk
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 367Please respect copyright.PENANArbqTBDN5jg
forever.367Please respect copyright.PENANA1sP90akpDJ
Third group that 367Please respect copyright.PENANAbXJQceN8uA
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's367Please respect copyright.PENANAKN2HvHCEXG
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose367Please respect copyright.PENANADASEps1Nav
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 367Please respect copyright.PENANAMcGK3WlpIU
inconclusive. 367Please respect copyright.PENANABlcLOCox3d
Something else to note 367Please respect copyright.PENANAUSesl5crXD
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to367Please respect copyright.PENANAA4m7Z4wcjV
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 367Please respect copyright.PENANAI1s6T7YmQS
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 367Please respect copyright.PENANAy2tYAuNmT1
world...367Please respect copyright.PENANAJHdWIw2uOL

367Please respect copyright.PENANAIKFveFxi4v
Who would've thought 367Please respect copyright.PENANAVp8ONRLI1U
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAvahT0o97pT
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 367Please respect copyright.PENANAnbwHTtDIND
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 367Please respect copyright.PENANAWF4sBYeaKV
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 367Please respect copyright.PENANADNzKmMQECl
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 367Please respect copyright.PENANAaUyHz0MFWN
than the other.367Please respect copyright.PENANApyQ8OVT1sU
Thankfully the walk 367Please respect copyright.PENANALc9fTe8cIp
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 367Please respect copyright.PENANAT5WR7yZ9Ka
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 367Please respect copyright.PENANAthaR8FEz4p
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a367Please respect copyright.PENANAsYUVYdrJkk
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 367Please respect copyright.PENANALCi9OBlDTi
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the367Please respect copyright.PENANAvLVS0jRKj5
pathway from any praying eyes.367Please respect copyright.PENANAwFQW3KzH1x
As David entered the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAIbfhwFjMXZ
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A367Please respect copyright.PENANAJru20XCCmp
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.367Please respect copyright.PENANAK1DFTMBmw3
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 367Please respect copyright.PENANAXKrbYR8x1Z
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 367Please respect copyright.PENANALyDhyGOkeF
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a367Please respect copyright.PENANAS8AIGTakhH
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,367Please respect copyright.PENANAdvkzf3G3oo
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 367Please respect copyright.PENANAf6FjYIqM0x
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 367Please respect copyright.PENANAyrMIfxwBlH
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 367Please respect copyright.PENANANWoaczdnEA
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.367Please respect copyright.PENANA4qISGlJQsU
"Get a move on. We need 367Please respect copyright.PENANAzBNWHYK4XY
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng367Please respect copyright.PENANAp8jh9CLZg7
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 367Please respect copyright.PENANASeJqqD2KVa
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 367Please respect copyright.PENANATx5WQ7M5fi
and rushed to catch up.367Please respect copyright.PENANAG9gdRz8B7u
Gob led them down one of367Please respect copyright.PENANAVuVhhtqVd3
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 367Please respect copyright.PENANAKXSa0NkaFh
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 367Please respect copyright.PENANA6dP7qy5mGb
After a few more turns 367Please respect copyright.PENANAh8hiTTfWz2
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 367Please respect copyright.PENANAR5o88JfStj
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 367Please respect copyright.PENANAiTQB5IcDgJ
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAN4RgTpMDbr
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 367Please respect copyright.PENANAdjlUKdoChE
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.367Please respect copyright.PENANA4apd7GfvcA
"So, what do you guys do367Please respect copyright.PENANAf9lh0fcJxL
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 367Please respect copyright.PENANAkIS3qBQofW
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 367Please respect copyright.PENANAfPfm80SaeD
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 367Please respect copyright.PENANAems1akx9zL
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 367Please respect copyright.PENANATS5XfPxj3m
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 367Please respect copyright.PENANAU1xvWkIaBZ
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.367Please respect copyright.PENANAl7YByB5lKC
David even managed a 367Please respect copyright.PENANAk9THG2sgBt
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 367Please respect copyright.PENANA950iAysrDx
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 367Please respect copyright.PENANAt23npT5tZ9
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 367Please respect copyright.PENANA39wulUtZQo
headfirst into the ground.367Please respect copyright.PENANAmtJHz1qiJN
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.367Please respect copyright.PENANAqC2fVSWG5g
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 367Please respect copyright.PENANA2pNnllnCIw
David entered the 367Please respect copyright.PENANA1E8v4o6dQJ
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a367Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bt3F1bvKt
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 367Please respect copyright.PENANA4jA9vAXgSq
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 367Please respect copyright.PENANA5W6r2VK9vo
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.367Please respect copyright.PENANAFLUo7bH2un
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.367Please respect copyright.PENANATsTEgNJAl8
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.367Please respect copyright.PENANA9EkAjKxPKg
"Perfect, leave us 367Please respect copyright.PENANANJSfG5wflR
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 367Please respect copyright.PENANAueHuH0O58C
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.367Please respect copyright.PENANAW7XJxvfrbq
"Yes Gob?"367Please respect copyright.PENANAesY6TnkYKP
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."367Please respect copyright.PENANAUbSbpB57Vm
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."367Please respect copyright.PENANAtiIScbpFpk
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."367Please respect copyright.PENANABbonmw5PTn
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 367Please respect copyright.PENANArn88ztgulJ
Gob stilled at that but 367Please respect copyright.PENANAGmEMeGzzDy
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.367Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Xr4tqduj
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 367Please respect copyright.PENANA6sCjO3vHZ9
gone.367Please respect copyright.PENANAF53MyTV30X
Francesca turned towards367Please respect copyright.PENANANBk10gSEqE
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 367Please respect copyright.PENANAUY1G0abVvd
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 367Please respect copyright.PENANAdYOxmxy3ZB
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 367Please respect copyright.PENANABIOGjAyfv1
side of the table.367Please respect copyright.PENANAPRaxBBaiPV
David nodded and moved 367Please respect copyright.PENANAYehE8FtESa
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 367Please respect copyright.PENANA1PRs4LcJ4k
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and367Please respect copyright.PENANAdPrTZJnsuD
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 367Please respect copyright.PENANAzASA5x08dy
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,367Please respect copyright.PENANAQmg0BfeaVm
"Who chose you?" The 367Please respect copyright.PENANAhqj91ZKDCc
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 367Please respect copyright.PENANAWqiBk0NKWk
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.367Please respect copyright.PENANARlJP0Y4HSy
"Excuse me?"367Please respect copyright.PENANASxes8J3gO9
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."367Please respect copyright.PENANAORl7JcU7vS
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"367Please respect copyright.PENANA3c3alMoZwP
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 367Please respect copyright.PENANAKuxphJ5esf
"We have been chosen by 367Please respect copyright.PENANARYL9p13JmR
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 367Please respect copyright.PENANAIymeynIZze
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAESMC0PBM9j
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"367Please respect copyright.PENANA0L8gkHDVRw
David wanted to laugh at367Please respect copyright.PENANAWywOlQ3Fsc
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after367Please respect copyright.PENANAiLC4xuDc4V
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 367Please respect copyright.PENANALurgCSZLRu
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 367Please respect copyright.PENANAL9uodnrtyx
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 367Please respect copyright.PENANAJEx2U3Unj1
feel anything else right now, though.367Please respect copyright.PENANASnST8eCKu6
"Sorry, no idea." He 367Please respect copyright.PENANAb9s0miB30k
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other367Please respect copyright.PENANA8JTI6HLrpP
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."367Please respect copyright.PENANABgCZLIQEOL
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.367Please respect copyright.PENANAmweIwJY3kv
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 367Please respect copyright.PENANAOfhqnuV1YT
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"367Please respect copyright.PENANAzlzvIZtgNe
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 367Please respect copyright.PENANAkkjkykke7u
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 367Please respect copyright.PENANAGrTMyo8pz1
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 367Please respect copyright.PENANA1ReAIOQZAB
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAe06S3Wr55n
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.367Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5cbjq2n5s
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 367Please respect copyright.PENANAjetLubKN43
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 367Please respect copyright.PENANAF48rNBS05o
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."367Please respect copyright.PENANALpMygA9jiu
David nodded, as if his 367Please respect copyright.PENANAs63d5eSycq
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 367Please respect copyright.PENANAULz4igVSvK
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for367Please respect copyright.PENANAAggEqj5BvG
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 367Please respect copyright.PENANA7pf54MuCNk
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.367Please respect copyright.PENANAm3nTqZmgKj
She shook her head 367Please respect copyright.PENANAeni3837BFW
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 367Please respect copyright.PENANAhNBTnm05HE
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 367Please respect copyright.PENANAa5O3YlM99J
you'd know more, but..."367Please respect copyright.PENANAv30CD8k2WW
"Sorry for not being more helpful."367Please respect copyright.PENANA3oonXxivJf
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 367Please respect copyright.PENANACWyFNuv7X1
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 367Please respect copyright.PENANAThE7x7vpqO
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.367Please respect copyright.PENANAluU3gvfcUZ
David sensing an 367Please respect copyright.PENANAKEyIoy0ClG
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 367Please respect copyright.PENANAKSExEccfwh
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 367Please respect copyright.PENANAC1r9bung3n
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 367Please respect copyright.PENANAOzT9yi7pjH
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 367Please respect copyright.PENANARBwPIZz4Lf
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.367Please respect copyright.PENANAO8lmeTh0Cp
Francesca looked up to 367Please respect copyright.PENANAZAOjbCIhJp
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 367Please respect copyright.PENANAvWELRLIxdp
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 367Please respect copyright.PENANACwq6T1SfEQ
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 367Please respect copyright.PENANAsJfFCwJDVA
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 367Please respect copyright.PENANAxFAzYfVLmo
you traveled all over Astaria"367Please respect copyright.PENANAm1xopNGpOT
"Traveling the isles 367Please respect copyright.PENANAhnMWkW2f1V
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 367Please respect copyright.PENANA7lsI1R7UBf
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.367Please respect copyright.PENANACNkFHWsvDM
"You jest." She shook 367Please respect copyright.PENANAgOhaLTQkvG
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 367Please respect copyright.PENANABw6ObIblsq
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"367Please respect copyright.PENANA4yABNWPIc0
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."367Please respect copyright.PENANAxakYUh0Tw4
"My condolences for your367Please respect copyright.PENANAsYPttNcYM3
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 367Please respect copyright.PENANAXjvwcRU1OA
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."367Please respect copyright.PENANAMyKtrDX02Q
David nodded and looked 367Please respect copyright.PENANANEM7El1Jgo
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were367Please respect copyright.PENANA6kkj4ZXURI
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAGss24cine9
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 367Please respect copyright.PENANABcYqKlyhhk
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 367Please respect copyright.PENANAwUYb8rsvve
could not see the good in a person then who could?367Please respect copyright.PENANAhtBXKmoTDS
"Gob believes you are 367Please respect copyright.PENANAaTOgzeaxjc
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 367Please respect copyright.PENANASmXPo0ruP6
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 367Please respect copyright.PENANAwiSJSABhIZ
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least367Please respect copyright.PENANAGOJaVccmsw
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 367Please respect copyright.PENANAsmIvPN6JP5
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 367Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wf16ZsAXo
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 367Please respect copyright.PENANApHwsApgjX3
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."367Please respect copyright.PENANAbzQCN0DXGX
David shuddered at the 367Please respect copyright.PENANA1JwdwW8S2T
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 367Please respect copyright.PENANAEfe0XkDUBs
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 367Please respect copyright.PENANAKNuKhQIReu
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 367Please respect copyright.PENANASD8GBDxDko
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 367Please respect copyright.PENANAztY6k3FPhU
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 367Please respect copyright.PENANAp4uM0IwyMx
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 367Please respect copyright.PENANAtNkfvivVAQ
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 367Please respect copyright.PENANA53A5ialO9s
so.367Please respect copyright.PENANA0YDFhC71Ri
Francesca giggled and 367Please respect copyright.PENANAilzSNVEJnj
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you367Please respect copyright.PENANAvGqwSCtsVb
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 367Please respect copyright.PENANArzn4ipVoa3
bath as well"367Please respect copyright.PENANAyWCBYUCGG6
David gave a fake laugh,367Please respect copyright.PENANAk4DkQUlvMY
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 367Please respect copyright.PENANAl1JXsbLGmW
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 367Please respect copyright.PENANAMzcrXwthpT
appreciate it, my lady."367Please respect copyright.PENANA7C4eJD0pEm
"None of that, it's Francesca."367Please respect copyright.PENANAftPzsDGjuB
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."367Please respect copyright.PENANA4xPWSdwJSA
Francesca nodded and 367Please respect copyright.PENANAv7nEjEmxcl
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 367Please respect copyright.PENANAAJD61rqmti
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 367Please respect copyright.PENANAYS5zWYoodH
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAAghCreyAt1
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 367Please respect copyright.PENANA2s5g5lX1Rt
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 367Please respect copyright.PENANAD1GngOxw6r
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.367Please respect copyright.PENANAaWsiXJ46K0
Rubbing his wrists to 367Please respect copyright.PENANAn755MRD9SG
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 367Please respect copyright.PENANAt3IjPr1oMA
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 367Please respect copyright.PENANAHNY88hQlxX
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 367Please respect copyright.PENANANLRRK1GtBX
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 367Please respect copyright.PENANAON4P3fw8qF
to her.367Please respect copyright.PENANAGf7l6OTbHY
~don't trust her, don't 367Please respect copyright.PENANAjAoqKHUNH0
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that367Please respect copyright.PENANAmmZbktMqPw
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 367Please respect copyright.PENANActusMYrT9P
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 367Please respect copyright.PENANANTHldQj53T
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 367Please respect copyright.PENANA75V69RTWLm
betray him first if he doesn't.367Please respect copyright.PENANAziRlWkWr55
His new home didn't seem367Please respect copyright.PENANAHO0mDnn2L8
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.367Please respect copyright.PENANAxDxrF1BEMs
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 367Please respect copyright.PENANAJLKJ5do04X
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 367Please respect copyright.PENANAm2Yydm3bHs
starts gathering around the pots." 367Please respect copyright.PENANAsUFHu2bnUr
David just nodded at 367Please respect copyright.PENANAY7l0u9LamX
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 367Please respect copyright.PENANArBX6zQJOVG
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 367Please respect copyright.PENANAPRwH306lK7
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 367Please respect copyright.PENANAihtQswqtI8
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.367Please respect copyright.PENANAjOasW67IM5
He looked around and 367Please respect copyright.PENANAE9I7PQqcV8
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 367Please respect copyright.PENANAYOw76fXA2E
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially367Please respect copyright.PENANAivpkSOuCns
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 367Please respect copyright.PENANAvx8HevZwUN
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 367Please respect copyright.PENANAvIrqN4T4vc
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.367Please respect copyright.PENANAjm44SnTNhx
As he laid down further 367Please respect copyright.PENANAuDLRiaTDRG
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 367Please respect copyright.PENANAkmULyb3OMn
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 367Please respect copyright.PENANAKR1bl4pFMl
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some367Please respect copyright.PENANAUu5gHxcJDG
coins as well and decided to rummage his pockets for them, sadly he 367Please respect copyright.PENANASMKd46xyFE
