605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx2c37ryCE
Davids relief didn't 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPRoc44wAM
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDDVqLDbab
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCmcCLaP9P
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoqFq3MdeA
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX6bUKusye
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyd7CQp7FF
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYwW27nahV
better off than Angela.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZr18psoHO
"Breathe slowly and calm605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKvfYqsp3
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR01q6MLnDa
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCrdgkPTww
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMcDA4FxbB
got steadier.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5AiPN2IF
"Useless." Gob said as 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBU0I7C284
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIP5lwmdr5
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAFZ0dtx8z
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlF1Woc5s0
After his conversation 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AmEUEqT0j
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQ1h2urQy
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB7wulxzTJ
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu2QAHl5rK
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImoRgUUjhJ
"To get new weapons and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5NVOjBkPf
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknYL9xznXD
drying his shoes from any excess water.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM8g5E8jhr
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXK8Wi32Up
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEW54Jj6E0
"No!" Angela stood up 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJWX5jJhxa
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVLDDvb3ZN
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ym2WE1Tux
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzdgSbN4bs
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PiTral2M6
"If I could do anything 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyndDwbW34
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSZ8AyvsU
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VFhx2sFd5
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuXVqNDLOJ
us. Now get up."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56uP8PcTax
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaun5ZfV2Y
Thus, they began their 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkVRNQpQeW
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPwnddvic
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS0p5QW26w
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVASbuNwaG
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuKKxKlzI6
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNJbybnNEx
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGxb8way7Y
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDruOxCIpji
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJer6fsfmMT
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fq34NIdQx
The only one not 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSR4oi5fmx
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDE4ASYzXX
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJcBUJSQTe
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB6E9oqr8t
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvwqT0bQFg
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigcPGiSd2w
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugUBRIUdE0
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCZviQh5XA
was no more fighting, David didn't know.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o1cvnHLrn
David hoped that 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YYseR4zu2
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7xesOgXWr
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGjCC8dqkG
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4XT0ZZ4dz
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRHeOkEkFT
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcg6Snoh72
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4wUmju35t
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p0YX447Et
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHgH383OmW
David slouched to the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhObCCU8hh
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnZhnlyaC5
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PYDTT7LSg
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKZrloac2h
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5lTiy9p4A
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwyxampLYA
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GgLtrdw1r
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpNLx34HUE
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN5ksiHgrT
No answer. ~Oh hells, do605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeOioQ7Pbq
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ZOw8lFOB
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WCNKvaCUj
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9vfUsJPeG
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU8XwWlkwJ
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjffvIxXYax
against putting it on her.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P2LFDTMCC
"I...I should've been 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pNa24Pcne
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3SkPuhW13
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga4GvIr49O
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgpbgF3vH7
David's mouth.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNoRbJfy4Q
"Why weren't you? Now, I605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g8PjWEzak
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiIgrwVIXh
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUUHi0RX8n
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm6L2Z8nE5
"It happened so fast. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpTxVGMxh0
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG30OlM401P
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZTVfDryMm
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27uubNbwdX
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKT7Cl1CZQ
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f4m653Qcl
to herself again605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJKBIpNRQa
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBIut3oO9g
The mighty hunter 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl9xsC4wl2
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgGSrBdqn8
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nGTZkkA9F
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdV2CQdiBV
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4O2wqi3cz
Their respite didn't 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwoakqGXKu
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J5LHGZsk6
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIxWFw7yHq
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfscbYtUrGd
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEZYZIDI2L
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFVEOXe6Oq
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RKxx6sNJq
that skill to actual good use.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5xjTZJIER
Thankfully their walk 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsT7rKh65N
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6zwqQEMm
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCxOdRzhaM
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ535ffFgH2n
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFWd0agWA
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOSledBfhT
Gob motioned for them to605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzOvAAI2uw
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xyiKK9Zps
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7gBjcNy6r
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM4BTy1wOw
conveniently carried on his shoulder.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoJFIOfx3J
Fly boats were made out 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKc4cCzpzX
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfYQz5YL03
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtfvWqZJvO
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPboLYToWR
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE1Mo6uy3H
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGTFBOchAK
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw9G0RGXX9
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d7fQJyPw4
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ECc2qa5Zq
or smiled. A frown.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUwjwqMUYJ
He put the boat down on 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwSMQOfWO1
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFeXpFO9Je
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgvBoniat
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7aPkHjvrZ
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYWBo3mKx9
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡborb0dLaiK
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXnVs3NX3L
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmjdTADsu0
making his wounds ache.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxwf47KgdJ
Gob put the boat over 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDMvAv0JQD
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndtbfBpvYy
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW1YzkHOx8
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9dpBdBCU3
the other. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvAkYUojo3
Gob handed David the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI7ObhvP5p
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoEGqr4xPk
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTiShRSQZ2
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW2FV0r1aI
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyBFJhtFQN
believed this was definitely one of those fates.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbm2xUTDv9
All though David did 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JW0PtolqH
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuvJ5NzpZq
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tp2ScpQVq
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMjlhxovsd
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TkMMk3Kg
by the sun.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEzBlprNtc
They all disembarked, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t8KxI92Sp
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj6FjLAWq0
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNwz03Jaa3
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifnqo3n36J
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvefqdjPKvr
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4oSN1GekA
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHMSY5Hano
"How do they manage to 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswG5WGEwa
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACnS17O8BS
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjLnPReVtd
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzOz4kWWZY
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3bJNz9gB
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6YAAq9lhA
David nodded, the answer605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14imh8Z6z1
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHNa5xTCn6
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNCVRZrEIP
One thing David noticed,605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87a3uNQ75B
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k5iQuqNXK
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4IkOvLhnm
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo6N1qCfhg
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmUfoCoIRJ
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebImaHbkmE
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVHgkizZFe
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgjeAlT74P
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMencJFhIEJ
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzpLuDD1pu
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyt8L8Dna1
It made him remember 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakVyAWN6tM
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHlTJbcSNw
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI46Db7CiI
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmQglYN3cR
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0v1AsIjXM
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdBfALmn5q
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6H7MFO1kR
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNJyntzGTf
while ago.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8siYoSKPi
Just as previously they 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjj4msVPaY
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRzaOeNoWC
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCmIt7OEs1
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbTvksVzZm
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fPpul3WPG
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD5OCbzRwV
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1is5jAFfeq
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VK2RKwBA7
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA9KWKLwVV
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaHXvnhhH5
David was apprehensive 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSVl9X2UTY
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Mi1vdgmR
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzDzCCp63q
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ70QynXw3
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mvqXnfoHj
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZT04Amw9B
Before they all turned 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlT8muIe9l
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlijDC2koeF
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YGOMUDey4
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3k3NidQl2
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0W7Sml3Hh
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWYu7iqwBb
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWyJ6SPzUG
Sadly the sweet dream 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6bZs1ns3V
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTiVZjTItV
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmKQeKfkv3
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMCjK3uuT
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax7EHnBDJm
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol6mTJyGwp
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCtA0a3mmi
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuKETC8dIE
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CzmhxNlgE
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5OBlN9TXz
David shook his head and605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2MB6M0WE6
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBekfW5Qsi
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj6ugZs6uc
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JiFcZgplm
too.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHV4petN8U
They spent the morning 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68zChwIOrE
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VIphsfPYY
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgKrTgRKtM
crowd. ~605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnJg80CK3L
After they were all done605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJboWws3cR
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKRXSI15E
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDy8aVPgoJ
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGtuewV7oj
Positivity all around.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfrjC4SvCf
Soon they reached the 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayWK6zPME5
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lzU0VVwVB
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBNb0Tub7L
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJUpXg7X8g
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5VFQVVluD
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxj1UcYAA8
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wTdofyjNT
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykig5N0c1X
everyone won.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Q7LZNaua
Gob seemed to be pretty 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fsz0ZLSiH
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT43pPz28s
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYdNuW6WGk
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTAEwMhr8Z
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7U68Z1vBl
making her way behind David.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp9SCi4QEl
"Where's Lev?" Gob 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3MVumlXM2
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjJ2s0RD71
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR25mLRIhm
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBxCS2IpAD
Reaching the middle 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFGg4HrFSS
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi3bYKHFTg
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFgRjMQned
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBmwNQKfLh
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj03Mx4Sr7
and quickly put a knife to his throat.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLQ1XZaghL
Before David could 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsFlPg3r1V
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZsVtWLwlK
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYTVIedTMY
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnqIrH6crH
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Wc86gThH
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1LVUDO1K0
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPjchJo3Zo
The captains facial 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcK8YUyUTV
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirhe2z6UGM
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdBw125QWs
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMQKozzfks
"Enough of this!" 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh7keKI3F0
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcLMbxKwiu
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ymJmp7MJ
towards them.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PZQru63Dd
David felt himself flung605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqIfB8eAJz
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqFoNcuy6g
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAzkojzCR3
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn3KMijXAw
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXJveShzK9
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbatBoA7xzH
overwhelmed him.
