They are men and women 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH2wfZd6b3
who aren't able to cast. Nonetheless they are trained to combat ether 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKgdLyrCvv

709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPyAvdUqoU
Davids relief didn't 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DTBAdQue6
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ul3gjkys
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJsnZOUxa4
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuPQNB3uGn
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRJPKqMKcj
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dnmho7nxu
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8wUdiwiKg
better off than Angela.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNjD0KqEKX
"Breathe slowly and calm709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0nidRpZ8u
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcE1npRyPF
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvak9bVdiV7
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTphTfvZ9R0
got steadier.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP7v81lIm9
"Useless." Gob said as 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvg3ZcfJxO
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKeMPOoqAG
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuEFRcDOiV
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOVUJQBjwP
After his conversation 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAxgihHThI
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgEjnodaCO
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkJx31PMol
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAhxOVA32L
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgCzvArPso
"To get new weapons and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zbMG3JeQR
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7OmLvFFVs
drying his shoes from any excess water.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDHyLqk2hJ
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhXtQgEbvK
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrUWMSTF1K
"No!" Angela stood up 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY0KdXxsLY
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMm6YRLkA3
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur4O5UtcxK
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqCHEZkv9e
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyOSfAbYx9
"If I could do anything 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX08L3IeUt
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQeMFjfXjv
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNYUPUOGc9
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhml58YwZrX
us. Now get up."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDfjnPP75m
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCn9cmuVeE
Thus, they began their 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1zEhcGhFd
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiClhxfMT3
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbbSwscQPd
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3JSLe4862
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61GxlPgqP1
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6KIYLKrbJ
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPhriWXg39
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE127p9hDg
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqoM9crFNV
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6jtt084v5
The only one not 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh6bRypzrg
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v0cK8Qwdl
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtQusnm1fR
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66qqHZ30Tq
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBBQu6FsCE
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe6bD5mSeK
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzCZATM2RB
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNT2xKvY2z
was no more fighting, David didn't know.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9SqrQ9iQH
David hoped that 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7IXd8GXK3
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSe3UUFhEO
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QJwdCiDkV
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NsE7RQKjy
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYMxp8YuyE
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGTdcp1LTR
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilzNWQHzSI
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJvaAbj60a
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdyMa1YVzY
David slouched to the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL798Epba8
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdG4cI9XkK
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3O0qvCLgc
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdyVvTkjrN
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3FbhsXrbZ
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK63vBQpSQ
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZNliOG9fm
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisLiy8oiHl
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszQavlmQ0n
No answer. ~Oh hells, do709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuVTSlzkBd
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG9fompJ6c
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMwvsExYx2
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzNbtUxJEa
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTK3sfRfD3
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdLd2RRh87
against putting it on her.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb9hYznRQg
"I...I should've been 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhLCVdG6fU
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWshMur4N
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY8V4LvTPv
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuNwLWaklx
David's mouth.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBxOtsYjTZ
"Why weren't you? Now, I709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9gqHWrEwT
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYF7kAbMlO
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhJXdQHXlh
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43VsWpMXpu
"It happened so fast. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJOZigIA9v
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg43vl4rnD
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXSXKvIHQQ
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV9fzVLppl
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmOuxStYak
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHgvDlFNhg
to herself again709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WS02ZdMp3
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LPDqlsAR0
The mighty hunter 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoJ1TEUUKS
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnOhJVV1Wi
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvROxUpCyP5
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T2gWL8Dro
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqmjGLO16t
Their respite didn't 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzmOBiHBJi
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXV71J0Y5J
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJP7nbHoud
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM2lRqSlKp
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8niPtEyW
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Poe3ADCSc
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EnWFssmZF
that skill to actual good use.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzofHHcZJDy
Thankfully their walk 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGrp2ZoWjX
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ9sVv6KZ5
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9afw8z3PT
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSLdF3hFoj
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KrVWlOvDG
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D62b06ftm
Gob motioned for them to709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEvvxt97vT
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMhf1lazhi
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnzQK3hlEI
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0bAZnFO33
conveniently carried on his shoulder.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV96cN0oPvu
Fly boats were made out 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr17R8EdGV5
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrfWWIciPv
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHokRLpk9x
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4fftDH4jq
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjl4WRiGGh
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0aOO4HVgX
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi59EZc4AAT
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkmw14J6O2
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLYud1Ch2s
or smiled. A frown.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Avffo1TKw
He put the boat down on 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgXxYzN5a3
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHSn33rRpT
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKffmyWP5m
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPsY3OGcjo
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzrb8G6qys
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBpDtLNPuo
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckgba8G04U
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgntOx7hl0
making his wounds ache.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bp20v5Iua
Gob put the boat over 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAa4e17fOw
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU2G1EIkuy
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01RZBSJn4G
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIahRBq7Rr
the other. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wyhjPPndJ
Gob handed David the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9nAuiMKmk
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmB9m7xERE
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJe9Wtm4JQ
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGY1iRSyL5
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZiC6YLSpq
believed this was definitely one of those fates.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4RCF8qZ4d
All though David did 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvOKzh6aQu
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWnBvzHoi3
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgTUArTC8s
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xaamQdrro
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9tHv3iLgN
by the sun.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmFYD0vEtk
They all disembarked, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g72itawyw
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBiOODAGVr
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJes3WxZBgN
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPKYJMsFOY
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUsHJMKMUh
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFIAiB4Lti
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHOsfmQZmD
"How do they manage to 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4HRoHopcV
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzZJcu4W7h
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIIdp7p5bB
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP4VpvTKTq
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezv7XPZt3w
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGOQv045kU
David nodded, the answer709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8zgOWFKI2
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoJh9nDR0M
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxFykoiBcO
One thing David noticed,709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek88fgOCSd
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAeRAxVt6v
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvbZ4eoYq2
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokEi8A4SdT
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiARtKAjzJJ
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIJc7JxZrh
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiEMsr6c5l
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHvayo5xOh
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTLExPdlPx
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQTWkybYE
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuoiJqqebO
It made him remember 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzqAlNLjMN
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAA7Da1mYl
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QnfTztuoI
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21mGG3F4d
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdFKwSFhO5
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZrkH9Hqse
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BkSynwWtv
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd2YAcCyDa
while ago.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpInA5RcwAg
Just as previously they 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfUyEqKFDc
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSZfFmkwEI
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoRf9JiTzQ
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqMYxmDInj
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrasWJfy4XF
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpZLTSMmkA
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInw3nF6B4T
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzEz0jIgHt
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2iByDoO1f
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6McI9yPWz
David was apprehensive 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqjCzoztKY
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVrNVrIyTA
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedcaCkwTxm
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkyV81xvi0
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLq29FuS6q
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtbXVNugTR
Before they all turned 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7GJSvz6n4
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp48auB6vcj
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9VuerCDlR
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLfdfyGDiw
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroQ0imA9t2
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkudpgEV6E
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYHQQvwx7B
Sadly the sweet dream 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKa5FDOHI7
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8iVWFYp45
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXG4rvC59h
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5fusEygGM
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeUqkp9xDu
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3hSgdbYYu
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qtfq1NRtV
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2fxTn9BOl
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjinPyB7bH
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2DHZ58NfG
David shook his head and709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuRH56LDJ4
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsKTmHelIs
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y4pzo0Iyq
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ611ixjuO2
too.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36oKOfUuFd
They spent the morning 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXEW1KNfu
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5GgYAAICC
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1d995Lp3M
crowd. ~709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3HK7o0Sdg
After they were all done709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbQgMjaz8H
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHLxGXKTmX
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUWW98Q68Z
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkvjEPovks
Positivity all around.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkyyTDwD0t
Soon they reached the 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzWC2Hq0ar
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6YBJRDgbr
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANHcNWh8I
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfApeG2uHGq
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNvYFXz32A
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81epo5AqB6
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBlcyLfxMa
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96lmGroDdi
everyone won.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFwPyZn2dj
Gob seemed to be pretty 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56XcgaoHhc
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmtm2iY8JS
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KgFBjqKWS
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeh8D0EAiQ
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnBJLO3xb9
making her way behind David.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUUhhk9ibl
"Where's Lev?" Gob 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0wyjPqBN1
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfert85OgwK
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWKE2MTbdG
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vzDhDicEO
Reaching the middle 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcCy2FZur9
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCVHJBxTh
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5jh2JoVsA
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pM1kAyEbD
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JtZRMrKxQ
and quickly put a knife to his throat.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BOYDc89Fr
Before David could 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF7Oh7RJHA
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtSDJc0tvI
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvFH5KtDy6
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZdQfmZ0H8
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWwFzCg30y
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZJtvxsrL1
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7rAlsvcZc
The captains facial 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXh7zZZdFX
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGoU9SEzx2
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD3GA1rKjj
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84InCIobxp
"Enough of this!" 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvFj3XbMkM
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr0wRTZiuS
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr2Br9WqwV
towards them.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FOjVdcbM2
David felt himself flung709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi5HaYeQ2j
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoRnOX2AqF
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaG6L7P2nj
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7TpPRE4pv
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq39a86S1YK
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLdW16Wet9
overwhelmed him.
