670Please respect copyright.PENANAkB2koDvyRV
Davids relief didn't 670Please respect copyright.PENANA06IkvV8G8r
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 670Please respect copyright.PENANAy8bN4mgImt
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he670Please respect copyright.PENANAqGVaXQYl0j
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone670Please respect copyright.PENANAwghhtsNRKf
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 670Please respect copyright.PENANAXOmcExs6a7
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would670Please respect copyright.PENANAstCPOfOEIh
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 670Please respect copyright.PENANA2eynL8OUuX
better off than Angela.670Please respect copyright.PENANA33psrmifM2
"Breathe slowly and calm670Please respect copyright.PENANArCaHzQTkIm
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 670Please respect copyright.PENANAzfEVLVv4oj
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a670Please respect copyright.PENANA0xEUFPT3Rf
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing670Please respect copyright.PENANAyKPCQuizjK
got steadier.670Please respect copyright.PENANA8SDbGMeKlg
"Useless." Gob said as 670Please respect copyright.PENANAj7swj8ntRQ
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAxXSL0gOw1t
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 670Please respect copyright.PENANAHzbVO2nCJp
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."670Please respect copyright.PENANAuTZ40TPQME
After his conversation 670Please respect copyright.PENANAkxwhc9BxDb
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 670Please respect copyright.PENANAvJADx1ewjt
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 670Please respect copyright.PENANAfa4cbu9cIz
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.670Please respect copyright.PENANA2VjdN7vTvK
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.670Please respect copyright.PENANAgPSXTpdQcu
"To get new weapons and 670Please respect copyright.PENANAntstAFWbna
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 670Please respect copyright.PENANAGCdtvQOid9
drying his shoes from any excess water.670Please respect copyright.PENANAMcMx1AWkJw
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.670Please respect copyright.PENANAdOhqYAD0xa
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.670Please respect copyright.PENANA2AcgjMZQNU
"No!" Angela stood up 670Please respect copyright.PENANAvpW0p5jhcB
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 670Please respect copyright.PENANAY6rhPabHFw
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I670Please respect copyright.PENANA0owEq7FkBY
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she670Please respect copyright.PENANAsfbWRX5dQw
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.670Please respect copyright.PENANAWhrmstTkJC
"If I could do anything 670Please respect copyright.PENANAlDumxgGHCR
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began670Please respect copyright.PENANAonJAOPnnZt
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 670Please respect copyright.PENANAZAUlxuHa5e
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 670Please respect copyright.PENANApF2uNRPVHs
us. Now get up."670Please respect copyright.PENANAnyw93ck37J
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.670Please respect copyright.PENANAdFkTKkM7Fz
Thus, they began their 670Please respect copyright.PENANArPxE2FnJGB
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.670Please respect copyright.PENANA2mei319nU8
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 670Please respect copyright.PENANA2vuhfrpD83
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 670Please respect copyright.PENANA0RvGiE0Ln3
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAIQnRbIV3FD
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAmcXrwcP0ra
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 670Please respect copyright.PENANANBmDpVuaDm
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of670Please respect copyright.PENANADho6AdGBua
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 670Please respect copyright.PENANAGgGdBWYQbK
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.670Please respect copyright.PENANAIIFisVBDJI
The only one not 670Please respect copyright.PENANAhaeqDv7C0V
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 670Please respect copyright.PENANAtscYDIbseK
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't670Please respect copyright.PENANAb75DFzfXuo
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 670Please respect copyright.PENANAwwTg6Cd4pK
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.670Please respect copyright.PENANAejT8SP0odW
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever670Please respect copyright.PENANAc8Fs00vLt3
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 670Please respect copyright.PENANAPhySi99adW
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 670Please respect copyright.PENANATWyEJQMksU
was no more fighting, David didn't know.670Please respect copyright.PENANARKtMMWdemR
David hoped that 670Please respect copyright.PENANAz8V9Dj4oW2
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 670Please respect copyright.PENANASv5Lw67lMZ
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 670Please respect copyright.PENANA8sC6LfJGgj
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 670Please respect copyright.PENANAFNc0Rnd3BK
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAGV4YlOiHTb
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 670Please respect copyright.PENANAehslwqLWiP
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 670Please respect copyright.PENANAVr9gIx7D34
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAqLGi25kjTP
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 670Please respect copyright.PENANAq4wCFi248X
David slouched to the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAOzk4sYkyjs
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 670Please respect copyright.PENANAXDLscx4giF
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAE90zj3drVp
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't670Please respect copyright.PENANAKyryU3Yx7g
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 670Please respect copyright.PENANAV3sRmr8L73
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 670Please respect copyright.PENANA8jGrcSL6T8
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're670Please respect copyright.PENANAVjzhRPQZGQ
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 670Please respect copyright.PENANA0RcIgmzdUD
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela670Please respect copyright.PENANA615jxQR52O
No answer. ~Oh hells, do670Please respect copyright.PENANAXNVVjZkpti
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 670Please respect copyright.PENANAxhGovgmOFU
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 670Please respect copyright.PENANASW0zrBo3PD
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 670Please respect copyright.PENANA90Falo7dm3
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and670Please respect copyright.PENANAv1tJrI7MIm
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 670Please respect copyright.PENANAmZHW7dX7cY
against putting it on her.670Please respect copyright.PENANAF0YfMAlfY1
"I...I should've been 670Please respect copyright.PENANA9wAfrfPBzG
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 670Please respect copyright.PENANA1QrOVt9xNY
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 670Please respect copyright.PENANACMo36Rpm2x
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 670Please respect copyright.PENANA94AGhieYRU
David's mouth.670Please respect copyright.PENANAonpSj0GHWk
"Why weren't you? Now, I670Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Fwptj78t
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 670Please respect copyright.PENANARsgmcQEnfO
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more670Please respect copyright.PENANAOX7qFA7S1e
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.670Please respect copyright.PENANAI33GLH2Gce
"It happened so fast. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAQlDDqJ9R9f
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I670Please respect copyright.PENANAAaV2u5RFc7
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 670Please respect copyright.PENANAxMksmCQ9cv
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 670Please respect copyright.PENANAi4ropomfEt
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 670Please respect copyright.PENANA0pRhvP4LT6
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering670Please respect copyright.PENANAvC42dkPyL1
to herself again670Please respect copyright.PENANAvbjetFnMYY
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.670Please respect copyright.PENANA6WYtxosYMg
The mighty hunter 670Please respect copyright.PENANAUQH9ZwR36Z
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared670Please respect copyright.PENANAKsajaiXbhM
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 670Please respect copyright.PENANAtshOB8JgFF
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 670Please respect copyright.PENANAK8P5LU75eD
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 670Please respect copyright.PENANAJGsGwi5VWe
Their respite didn't 670Please respect copyright.PENANA8nhLc5GfFA
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 670Please respect copyright.PENANA2LsE6jpK7h
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 670Please respect copyright.PENANAwEizZWa9Of
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 670Please respect copyright.PENANA0uE4bRWLNo
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 670Please respect copyright.PENANABFtN0hGRis
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,670Please respect copyright.PENANAja7QyuQ50e
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put670Please respect copyright.PENANAhA6wZCYI2y
that skill to actual good use.670Please respect copyright.PENANAfr88TjfkZO
Thankfully their walk 670Please respect copyright.PENANApPqvHKY4Wb
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 670Please respect copyright.PENANAWRstITs1cd
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 670Please respect copyright.PENANA0KBCe89wx2
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 670Please respect copyright.PENANAdYS3QUMrYk
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 670Please respect copyright.PENANAmZPnL0vpGY
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.670Please respect copyright.PENANAs64NamJErf
Gob motioned for them to670Please respect copyright.PENANAfjbMCQ09V1
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 670Please respect copyright.PENANA2MPx82PHg3
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 670Please respect copyright.PENANAg9KmYkWkDU
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 670Please respect copyright.PENANAlMmSKAQjfa
conveniently carried on his shoulder.670Please respect copyright.PENANAfWfCJsYWAa
Fly boats were made out 670Please respect copyright.PENANAf9Lzd8E9ms
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,670Please respect copyright.PENANAPOrn1WlAX8
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAD8Ti1hTh1B
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow670Please respect copyright.PENANAjNx8mB6kI4
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 670Please respect copyright.PENANAHdYVhYRtDW
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 670Please respect copyright.PENANAhI6eC5Ynu2
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAJIeZuUozEX
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 670Please respect copyright.PENANAblXUulhe0B
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate670Please respect copyright.PENANA7OkQnXdKlL
or smiled. A frown.670Please respect copyright.PENANAlZjlfyMUoR
He put the boat down on 670Please respect copyright.PENANA62jMNbEnUT
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 670Please respect copyright.PENANAO23Ic94QHf
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 670Please respect copyright.PENANAeWI1ZwBXcV
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 670Please respect copyright.PENANAuB6yHSwXOR
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 670Please respect copyright.PENANAvPKVqjoOpd
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the670Please respect copyright.PENANAmzgTkE1bDY
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 670Please respect copyright.PENANA00rb8GbZ6d
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 670Please respect copyright.PENANAoBtIw6FSqN
making his wounds ache.670Please respect copyright.PENANAq73rZgnHkg
Gob put the boat over 670Please respect copyright.PENANAbZkGlJZ1cD
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came670Please respect copyright.PENANAOEu9aQ4xi8
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 670Please respect copyright.PENANAqzJEW1XKWi
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 670Please respect copyright.PENANAAPDbdHp9Km
the other. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAw0wi2TXp6o
Gob handed David the 670Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vo1i9QUTK
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 670Please respect copyright.PENANAwCVHpreYtL
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 670Please respect copyright.PENANAFhgQUTIDrg
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 670Please respect copyright.PENANAdtipJBSnmS
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 670Please respect copyright.PENANAMOfQIkpv7Q
believed this was definitely one of those fates.670Please respect copyright.PENANAkFoognAwlf
All though David did 670Please respect copyright.PENANAyeYAAkjPGk
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 670Please respect copyright.PENANAJOM8EN4nu6
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 670Please respect copyright.PENANAugwIwXAy6F
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 670Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xt1SOEUXe
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 670Please respect copyright.PENANASuPzEyo0ip
by the sun.670Please respect copyright.PENANAw38TeavA6n
They all disembarked, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAVRP3afcWhO
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAvpXNLxqQoS
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 670Please respect copyright.PENANAiXSbyo39ow
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 670Please respect copyright.PENANAziBmSLtRkJ
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 670Please respect copyright.PENANA8gLDI4RGcw
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAUPyk5IW4kb
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.670Please respect copyright.PENANAglvndm62V3
"How do they manage to 670Please respect copyright.PENANAbKaghHWabR
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 670Please respect copyright.PENANA4bBp18tL2t
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 670Please respect copyright.PENANAVTcoJ4gBSw
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "670Please respect copyright.PENANAMxEE1Cu85L
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as670Please respect copyright.PENANAeUOMWdt3Wi
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."670Please respect copyright.PENANA14RoW5XijS
David nodded, the answer670Please respect copyright.PENANAunlLeWZuEt
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like670Please respect copyright.PENANA2lpQRCMiZ4
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.670Please respect copyright.PENANAIuwSwwc3fR
One thing David noticed,670Please respect copyright.PENANAQDZWQnuLKE
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 670Please respect copyright.PENANAJxqQMEIFfM
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors670Please respect copyright.PENANA4BlDuTpCVO
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 670Please respect copyright.PENANA0x9HGXw8YM
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 670Please respect copyright.PENANAz0X5TZzarM
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some670Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3fOOfRPuU
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything670Please respect copyright.PENANAqY2f0Tq1PC
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 670Please respect copyright.PENANAjpnb2oWiSi
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 670Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7jw1GniBd
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 670Please respect copyright.PENANA7VqWsG4ugJ
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.670Please respect copyright.PENANALcL8j81YWC
It made him remember 670Please respect copyright.PENANAkRH6s9gJeQ
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAs78TMSmKTC
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 670Please respect copyright.PENANAFA1JjR3J8Z
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't670Please respect copyright.PENANADgvarh6bMU
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 670Please respect copyright.PENANAzHbZDGiFJd
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 670Please respect copyright.PENANAFROj66eTTR
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 670Please respect copyright.PENANAgAaxxMpq8d
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a670Please respect copyright.PENANAJy4CrFBMcu
while ago.670Please respect copyright.PENANARSkhoYNBbp
Just as previously they 670Please respect copyright.PENANA6XD79kif2r
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen670Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y1f5XP3F0
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a670Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8VgDhsRNX
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAEsOPKkNzLS
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 670Please respect copyright.PENANAKRr6sZ1M4V
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 670Please respect copyright.PENANADZXGTTusR1
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 670Please respect copyright.PENANAsMwMlI2Nxj
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAIROCSolkVL
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 670Please respect copyright.PENANAiRud4FAlo0
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.670Please respect copyright.PENANA2WP2Fnvit3
David was apprehensive 670Please respect copyright.PENANAtRrTOAR3XV
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 670Please respect copyright.PENANASvqHGv90tW
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 670Please respect copyright.PENANAgW4RhU20mF
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAr1diA3D587
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAC9iaL8bgh6
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.670Please respect copyright.PENANA44yTiuYZo5
Before they all turned 670Please respect copyright.PENANA43zv9ZgwLq
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 670Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4ibOL1U5C
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 670Please respect copyright.PENANAtrAsKfomu6
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could670Please respect copyright.PENANAD6HSZBzrhs
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how670Please respect copyright.PENANAyJaowfXHZp
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 670Please respect copyright.PENANAS0I7oGJsAO
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.670Please respect copyright.PENANAMPwrMjPFeF
Sadly the sweet dream 670Please respect copyright.PENANAHPEwE38yDp
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 670Please respect copyright.PENANATwwFPZT5X6
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 670Please respect copyright.PENANA27wrBgqz4P
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 670Please respect copyright.PENANAp3Hw2yyLuv
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial670Please respect copyright.PENANAADlfnWmfKB
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 670Please respect copyright.PENANAkQz8ZEcgsj
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 670Please respect copyright.PENANA64Lp8OZJxf
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 670Please respect copyright.PENANAg1FbbxMERE
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.670Please respect copyright.PENANAtlBfwQQYxM
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 670Please respect copyright.PENANAlh9uxZcFY1
David shook his head and670Please respect copyright.PENANA5gLJi4jlDV
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 670Please respect copyright.PENANAZVI8e7IcvW
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 670Please respect copyright.PENANAobRRGdYS5F
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 670Please respect copyright.PENANAIiUogun10T
too.670Please respect copyright.PENANAUiBcZfbvLu
They spent the morning 670Please respect copyright.PENANA9rmzOzxSRm
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 670Please respect copyright.PENANALZYmjQ8dcP
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 670Please respect copyright.PENANAHsG0opU7S1
crowd. ~670Please respect copyright.PENANA9ovi7wJWB7
After they were all done670Please respect copyright.PENANARDwznT9wk3
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAniVswvp2vv
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 670Please respect copyright.PENANAbIkCEc10hP
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAWbduCe5HaE
Positivity all around.670Please respect copyright.PENANATnvO4uvvGb
Soon they reached the 670Please respect copyright.PENANAtN3hINAr8y
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned670Please respect copyright.PENANAELZVgCVyyP
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 670Please respect copyright.PENANA0gj5xso8Nd
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 670Please respect copyright.PENANAkVFVSFC7fy
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 670Please respect copyright.PENANAXvjrzQPVZy
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 670Please respect copyright.PENANAGSYPFqaNKD
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 670Please respect copyright.PENANAwiPIYuAAQt
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 670Please respect copyright.PENANAI9VmZOHAjQ
everyone won.670Please respect copyright.PENANAwetPdnrfIm
Gob seemed to be pretty 670Please respect copyright.PENANA4ia0eIh0OD
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 670Please respect copyright.PENANAQLAkGKxYid
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 670Please respect copyright.PENANAXlvioPgfXd
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 670Please respect copyright.PENANAyWccvtMIgB
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly670Please respect copyright.PENANAOGdiX3DnwY
making her way behind David.670Please respect copyright.PENANACdvlKnGMtB
"Where's Lev?" Gob 670Please respect copyright.PENANAGucNlMdm9e
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 670Please respect copyright.PENANAbiGcImbyXt
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 670Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZssGsIiZW
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"670Please respect copyright.PENANATRQEgXP3bV
Reaching the middle 670Please respect copyright.PENANASvr1ojCJEW
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 670Please respect copyright.PENANAzRpSTmW9cg
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 670Please respect copyright.PENANAN7PSTH2tKh
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying670Please respect copyright.PENANAr9FoU8745F
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 670Please respect copyright.PENANAO402amQNn6
and quickly put a knife to his throat.670Please respect copyright.PENANA3rMhabG9db
Before David could 670Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1zc0li8e
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the670Please respect copyright.PENANAVh6i22yxWD
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAOFagizEmCs
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAbobcLLeqcl
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 670Please respect copyright.PENANAxljbfxI4Oz
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 670Please respect copyright.PENANArnhy7Vrwar
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer670Please respect copyright.PENANAT2wPxpNJBv
The captains facial 670Please respect copyright.PENANA801jHaDzNY
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 670Please respect copyright.PENANA70GaobOfYg
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers670Please respect copyright.PENANARpYosemvmv
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.670Please respect copyright.PENANACxI16sqpBF
"Enough of this!" 670Please respect copyright.PENANAjTv5znzPIP
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of670Please respect copyright.PENANAb07CbevpMq
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 670Please respect copyright.PENANATuYugVA3SD
towards them.670Please respect copyright.PENANAFVplqGtofB
David felt himself flung670Please respect copyright.PENANACTvL4tzeRi
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 670Please respect copyright.PENANA6AGSCqjgRo
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 670Please respect copyright.PENANA8oaXYgcb1l
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 670Please respect copyright.PENANAQeg1aKGbYz
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 670Please respect copyright.PENANAw0EKRstzyq
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 670Please respect copyright.PENANA4IdIFKWhmm
overwhelmed him.
