958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqWehUANLb
Davids relief didn't 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ36TTPy8y
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVekqXqIGKO
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzXkO7AJD0
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OE5sAy7IU
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYOsrW4JmP
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6qKCFJhas
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7SY4zVldj
better off than Angela.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyNjtsVpEC
"Breathe slowly and calm958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtLVed05Bm
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkZeabCs86
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbVBDqSSN1
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pMLx5nk7j
got steadier.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW0WDyvKYB
"Useless." Gob said as 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9hWaExR3c
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdXxIgnats
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIRMfg7xqJ
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptKEsGvrRH
After his conversation 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzyHqZlcB7
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6NCflqJ8f
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlLyIIcQSw
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzLqh1eWmU
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tBrSTWjNm
"To get new weapons and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ3jCk4kjR
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm3a55KyAM
drying his shoes from any excess water.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbRVZGkbs
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q3ghuOzNX
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC393aNrmOZ
"No!" Angela stood up 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2Z5lkRBU
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ76WVmW50d
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuWa1ZyMC9
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SEUHX60Cn
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5fmzQz49D
"If I could do anything 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAnVUcj8tj
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsUKzoeQxC
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWhvIh9PQ8
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnEblNWhf0
us. Now get up."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXAjDyHMRb
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJNI0vHgGu
Thus, they began their 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRvOk32WEb
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL6be6MpFo
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHicIBJatIQ
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSizWwp7XL
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtUu8zRJDX
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cmCDdXgpR
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4rKDhieMT
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBRfG3A6wD
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL2ccpcM3b
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPunjeegdW
The only one not 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuAtXhqCCu
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzokG5sJ59D
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyle9hOx0R
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgAoTuGl5I
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9SIfoXoBS
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXWteWX7Ro
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMHqVMmj40
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxyZa7s1kI
was no more fighting, David didn't know.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4P6E9esRm
David hoped that 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f8wIwTeZr
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMECGpF3bwb
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx7yjly83J
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX8Bg0V1VY
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2lshOco3K
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pkAdug7pD
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Wezef9DI
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKfJzqstc0
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ddvEiNOtm
David slouched to the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0GyfRIk8V
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwGTHtGK6F
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rAAGWZvZ
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRDPqfLq1O
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VSxtvdX5D
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlVcL1GoOW
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjFETfCtQy
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKfaHzEl4J
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LeHIzcAO
No answer. ~Oh hells, do958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRkcptP69h
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu7xT2aWBS
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5VfPOtLeW
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH5nxFZo8g
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMM7OuCihB
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaKuWh34kY
against putting it on her.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7XA7fkv67
"I...I should've been 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYyaorST6f
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYqKdZ9yxD
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTc0fieM6k
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxPcFJ7l3s
David's mouth.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9ARBAkys
"Why weren't you? Now, I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt604CxGIF
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1sl8BrHM1
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM0VZw2722
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyiXBKad7B
"It happened so fast. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybWPlphzVI
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLouUGyYjt
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeeH7uxTKz
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLsMTDxnpF
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftII0YybrC
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdfJFRb8tA
to herself again958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFTHS6tv7B
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqHT1sXwqY
The mighty hunter 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIT5tSzK10
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKkzOLG6cc
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgfafoXdXe
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8N8uBjIHF
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwjK7gXd2K
Their respite didn't 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfBgBcz3la
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukEmZxILJo
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvzZy0wcje
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgxBctGphu
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqJVkU6iVx
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq7uhem1kG
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t803gYI9P
that skill to actual good use.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3jxtGa7jL
Thankfully their walk 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTdOaoHBp9
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL3nuOVRHz
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBcmvEeww6
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEELVSAga4V
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WVvI0iMJa
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYaWMyq8Vy
Gob motioned for them to958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1xtwc2OcH
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeY0BYufsa
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaDWS8n2Cz
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7JQpJFWKc
conveniently carried on his shoulder.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VkNhPmCVi
Fly boats were made out 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KzxORBnoy
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriFGOfOQ0f
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZknrPWXE8
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYszFiPrzn
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyiw7sNYOW
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtdjGlAu1U
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHW3rRdY6t
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBSusAPqZA
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54E9KujEE2
or smiled. A frown.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gw3mBhCdL
He put the boat down on 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJJ8mPD6ET
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU6ETVdaki
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInjmvCnTP4
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuCRoHYloS
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbClRG3x3o
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqSczwD7WV
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW242SzjZg
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Zde0zDvL
making his wounds ache.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwEfp03ukY
Gob put the boat over 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8DVZjorgT
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzYfTjRMsc
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES5c2ziC2o
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6c5fRHS5i
the other. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUzeMgmoP6
Gob handed David the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5wQJffj9x
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9icLVYYUU
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqT7lhSalk
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IVLJ5tkU2
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCVPsoODLu
believed this was definitely one of those fates.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PJW9meuBX
All though David did 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86KSnrdIl7
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJA70hDrn
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHewsQ3iNl
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhsauDbrV3
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9RooGoEwB
by the sun.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd06Se9rI4
They all disembarked, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpqiP7fYvJ
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXVYkezENV
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOUVeq6RM
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5vGHCLayt
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfPIq79Dir
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pHfDnX1VA
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB4taVNYDO
"How do they manage to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzlC8CMARE
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xDUY2vgdL
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUhfFk4Re9
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcoP5L0mlE
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTrFiuKF3V
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbAvKtQ5hg
David nodded, the answer958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIHonMdTBS
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSBV5jx8lq
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMXpMbfzRW
One thing David noticed,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBYF1wIXw5
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVAyWURrTz
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbLSacqROA
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmw1zXsIs0
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dgNQufk2C
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNHhLPXIau
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNHIcoxkO
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9r5aVyXKm
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlR9EeWMmV
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iunqN0kCR
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx2cgbrJ6n
It made him remember 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV8s6s4K42
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYenz722Sp
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PrLv8x5vd
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdnKXAleGA
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf0ul5mdvS
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC0EA7m1n2
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw8L9i8hYv
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE9TjiMlqp
while ago.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfObQnzOGy
Just as previously they 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPMlUgjXT8
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe6pGlhm6X
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3kF6qwXOi
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJa1SrfoQ6
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQFaB8Lecc
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7vybfVNEV
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJupzYs0YQJ
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX7ABq1V1G
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdv8DGf6RT
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqxKOVpjjO
David was apprehensive 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvgfjLMzlQ
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWVWF82ra0
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MTFCqGLrm
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nmoqpWgd0
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20teNvMYg6
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlXF8lF2CS
Before they all turned 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhfzA8itAR
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZD9Cu5HIJ
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaYBdgHxX8
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSsSlNLTys
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wn9QJo1ZU
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXubcINkj1I
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5u0dh8WGk
Sadly the sweet dream 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNZyTSkl6g
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPutHcNaQzO
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOFZFyZPOW
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTRs5ek5Xr
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KlXN0tU7F
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnEgHM1mai
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSf5w6GPlb
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wH6A4WFRY
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsCLLHKxYa
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjcfARfLRI
David shook his head and958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND8cx5f33g
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx5PYtszWb
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRakhGz326
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37scBQ7os5
too.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG5Ws9t8YN
They spent the morning 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDdNzfZSNQ
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAx1c7tsU5
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR5s2yplgx
crowd. ~958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwZODstDkY
After they were all done958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzTani5yiw
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx4DrdEWZw
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeIBvbrspo
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmdWtM20Wp
Positivity all around.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeHFkEe8Aj
Soon they reached the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcg8BMKqnC
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7grvBJVjV
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfUpBouIPg
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGO9zsQPFK
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RnZJGo6ed
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1g2dw8Wnf
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesDY4tfgMT
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VH1vsMdMp
everyone won.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL7yqiBmrP
Gob seemed to be pretty 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeeVVIwx7n
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sXxsPiuAg
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRxTaIyjHQ
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBqieaJojI
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS3DEARLjT
making her way behind David.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHLtew3aao
"Where's Lev?" Gob 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHu02iWf3S
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrNgd2yRmZ
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSKh48Ncwz
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UwZXeI0yU
Reaching the middle 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU4RCilj2w
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr1caPqgzF
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPIsiSLcL0
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThXtjf67G
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDIRyI2n5k
and quickly put a knife to his throat.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5C0OtLLJm
Before David could 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKNh8wBdgb
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHM6ZmgfKT
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgeLwgiL8C
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRbT39rsXf
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFMyuO4ZSm
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1WaVWQzwW
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4z1KhdYpd
The captains facial 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KaUYI5sH2
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFIlHciUjF
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeHLnoC8sV
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPs7kBfCK
"Enough of this!" 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo3mcsFT6p
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn443nae2Xv
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ98euwr9t
towards them.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAdpV0kuh1
David felt himself flung958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZ2y6PirM
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz8udBlWVG
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmfNVWtKPn
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSNZIoHRDm
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg0UONDNy1
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJoPY9Wq5N
overwhelmed him.
