Shadows.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf05WLGUWP
The agents of the mage council. They're a known secret, everyone knows they exist but it's considered impolite to mention.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCr5fLRqnZ
They are men and women 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiINsOWvEM
who aren't able to cast. Nonetheless they are trained to combat ether 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNnexlTYw

They extensively trained640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jhAqe5Cuj

640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNVIYeNoJk
Davids relief didn't 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnjBwLQ4LG
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Nf68If7U
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K50RHXTZZ
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeyXfAd0gl
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vkJ0YVRbA
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JWY5gtl9y
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvnB7dqydN
better off than Angela.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HntWU9DFt
"Breathe slowly and calm640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1iKWrcCug
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwCvRlzAzg
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR6ufC2uDB
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S81f3FQgS
got steadier.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg7uvyvrow
"Useless." Gob said as 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBzQ5YSi1u
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWR7smVUj1
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T58TlRTeF
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhf5IzWi1j
After his conversation 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1klroICkAI
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzhhaLtomN
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvQlSz8H4l
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTqh4PfZEI
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BCcTmhba3
"To get new weapons and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx5ZeIROPi
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeorxxlIoS3
drying his shoes from any excess water.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxwUXlDhys
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLygiC5AaD
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZOJzGe7t
"No!" Angela stood up 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZLRZ0ift
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71oIGaqXa8
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZXscD6tb5
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4tE58J60g
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43PN0Mh7gJ
"If I could do anything 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOxMoPBUY
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2C3YnZilk
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMOCDOoyh9
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdiHEBbA13
us. Now get up."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulDxZZ3EdS
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArugXtRX00
Thus, they began their 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcApkE3aaE8
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz9ULsrGG7
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjTWxQsWL1
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6DBcfuJvS
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wqkEUjx48
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDDuJP7Dof
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4rXcNGwbO
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWPkRnS7Up
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlohZbmJrh
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIoRRfK3u5
The only one not 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHEAmSkvM7
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsdRY8EBV9
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDFKUhZTEy
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7xryMH7oD
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1UCOk65kd
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEwXoTGwHB
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO0T4R3Y4S
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lco3cvJtC
was no more fighting, David didn't know.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI5RHrWdum
David hoped that 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRqqtAvvqS
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg38qAhTfo
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Uc9vwzyR
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO7MOl6R6Z
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrD4N00UOF
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPZG2aJn3v
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPT34GhtHh
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIKd8UkLRz
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo1xGFutGS
David slouched to the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgNPSQ0M6F
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETHxFXB6e
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRC3uY8mbi
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxVfYWfeX4
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdSODavc2b
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NySpD2MQL
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ThE0pk5BV
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm3wb8JlAk
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m70ThA9WG
No answer. ~Oh hells, do640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqeJcENzSO
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgboWAKtta
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXhPj4jzv9
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rnltV8WCG
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk4hKnFbdE
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGZGPI3w3j
against putting it on her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeWx2EUeWT
"I...I should've been 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh8lPxN3ha
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cL40yVyeW
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToxSohsNTz
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMdZAnYGmQ
David's mouth.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbHM9lXkR0
"Why weren't you? Now, I640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGtriJsM4
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxobg99c5o
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwu1Is9eAP
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV3ukgNrnJ
"It happened so fast. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHDZTnqDv2
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9ZBV76RF9
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB9fRUFNll
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LocPPGTwg
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhBBL1o9kr
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhduHe9EoWA
to herself again640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l4geARDzq
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBtOyDiILt
The mighty hunter 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAxrNe8vWg
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUuKfxGGbw
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1n9mKt5mI
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx36u2LboK
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOlQzXiKjX
Their respite didn't 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bfoQ0Tl0J
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw16OxmBz8H
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkakhALaCI3
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYsjPVoqjB
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwtHKKmAZa
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtcYfYRFw7
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMzAWAVjLg
that skill to actual good use.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAjYMGY5g4
Thankfully their walk 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wGrsCItXM
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cHYNzYAp4
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdn8wwVt2K
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIo6IfU0ck
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9sAPzWf2
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJvfiqCw0k
Gob motioned for them to640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor2wBwjVmM
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL44BbaiTII
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlf8k0VTaN
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcshh2aOIQk
conveniently carried on his shoulder.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5eW1TKJKz
Fly boats were made out 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfM81gSqoF
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJWhd7gUZl
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0xISeOiFO
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ziyZfDpgH
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgiZ4aXKgi
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaCxgpViLf
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtl2PP2l5G
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8seZ6gNvbe
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ36Lek7fz4
or smiled. A frown.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojDrv82gR5
He put the boat down on 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMCtcERRNG
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVN6Objp9U
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSQJQrk7vm
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaEA6QTTSW
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hg6UEnWM7
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBeY8A2tJS
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGET5wpGn0J
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8OyyUDExH
making his wounds ache.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsdCAsohRa
Gob put the boat over 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z7ZhhcDgA
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXD3MsK50R
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM09OIqYK8k
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ninBdQq3N
the other. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnbalLD7U
Gob handed David the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwflTNT4NSn
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmchVprbK7d
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOVY3h5Bcb
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUhcd7EN9H
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGyJEasVXe
believed this was definitely one of those fates.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPI0yjdifh
All though David did 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6ehdqdlhe
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iUO6NZ7g4
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBYAzKXxKB
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxvVKUTyam
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcyz7IUrZa
by the sun.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvigVtI9Eno
They all disembarked, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihyjEeEuGd
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvzIbYK068
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xb2cziIRC
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk6xXwMIfH
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y6QFNjfnt
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECQCV62GaN
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nKb6TKuOg
"How do they manage to 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZYo693nD6
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hKIDV92xg
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGPfe5nicz
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxWIYexMCp
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKuFPa0lXR
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ984YPhxt8t
David nodded, the answer640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tvbFvUNOA
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSRyEvMAoS
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJffltDLjvp
One thing David noticed,640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1D333Arii
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9kB8PX0ib
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1utwS3xpM
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcZ44u7JEU
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd0OPGgAI7
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeNu7eVLBm
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGugqU9SXi
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyGj8z79nn
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqfXqBVzkQ
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrElAdUuMN
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDlrOHywNw
It made him remember 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmeTLBvauh
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3CmBhjjhI
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ts8Hredg
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOnKqV8bJX
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS7B2vOzRy
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7dxKOWdmz
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTJkMM0lXb
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j1YsTkOy8
while ago.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MRIhsw3EB
Just as previously they 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUX5MPTchZ
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuMVRoNvS5
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6mckxhZt
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMorOFxxQb
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiRlojRVC1
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3sjNAVTTE
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHHjoRGhl9
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSnXVexqzp
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVJqlSZfGk
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpyZ8h19LJ
David was apprehensive 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuScRnEfWO
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOhQ3fkit
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhjlKwTf5t
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PbKxV6CIx
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtk6gbMoOJ
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSQIxLsnJf
Before they all turned 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YZAQfdnu
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eePGKHOmi
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIn0M3wwZe
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyWVsSFjW
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dpJyW8pJe
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYBYdw6C40
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx3W7Qi9MS
Sadly the sweet dream 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnZS8IU0dx
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjbskq09dr
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzApC3SDTTm
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRf7gTzADn
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Vnra0jHK
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt351DorJj
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFSNhgwiVC
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL0O6gXjJK
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJipZDfzWd4
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KJjemtEWI
David shook his head and640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoaqvnA8BT
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2W3TprQ20
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLUtoTS2RP
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFY7MfruvO
too.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEuRHmhJio
They spent the morning 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37sDZzC4R
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0JZ5Yn2Jm
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NWJphFvYX
crowd. ~640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9it8S4sr2
After they were all done640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoHrUVXkUx
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf48XzeJ1UG
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cyCc0XONV
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIKJr7Rq99
Positivity all around.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3NciGiAND
Soon they reached the 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChcDrQHF3d
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbt0pZJlJq
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkokbSS2Ur
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n1We68vuX
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFba8RY3Xu
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC7aM7JinS
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA1aKiS6FC
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZashnUsADf
everyone won.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ZY3qynbL
Gob seemed to be pretty 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLL5fku5ZN
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOavgRfeCLG
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mT43EJs2
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsRbaoKwTg
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYCbS9jZ4D
making her way behind David.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92bc9b5vmi
"Where's Lev?" Gob 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTs2tHUzfo
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhjaIeH9Kh
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD9JqzVXmV
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnWF6LcPOT
Reaching the middle 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDcqQjBnSm
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue4pRHnkxs
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqWrIFyoW
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCztLLGAzTL
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTYGg3B668
and quickly put a knife to his throat.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vd7kS9fuy
Before David could 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nwmcsCBdn
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jVLnV9wwy
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktYIjUkt6L
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfCtJo5GaI
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmDwsWffLK
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKuUUHwKAe
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sqkUhCW4z
The captains facial 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBEmbYD8ML
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyBfwLdE7d
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVT73CgXs6
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2CPquhUkp
"Enough of this!" 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0oCnCNQIp
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qRu2uqiEq
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5s6458JlD
towards them.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjgGgdx5T
David felt himself flung640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dvaloBbrk
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTJMbFOwJS
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjQaVaPMgR
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnn1se7Voa
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPOmkV9E0b
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g7N3avMib
overwhelmed him.
