773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKqUvPl7DG
Davids relief didn't 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf4IrxwFX6
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ2JoVdgEF
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiVeimvWRy
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4DckLauNl
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpAmcMAdIl
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19vxJcv24M
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCy1lVKR5
better off than Angela.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4i2tYWpmc
"Breathe slowly and calm773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wEDwS5ofh
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dJQOTUhAD
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBGNdTZqio
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnWt9eYoe1
got steadier.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUcAeFchnG
"Useless." Gob said as 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKSvZUOpWq
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjpVeD8n95
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp31BkzWfTI
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL6ab6S2vo
After his conversation 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh1ots3h4j
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6HTjfY0D
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB1Iu5Y4cE
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjgxHb4U0d
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qXl5ZwXUZ
"To get new weapons and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4T2fAp3OI
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC8FPSEWZh
drying his shoes from any excess water.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUBXYeZbfq
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HC3JdyrLB
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMRUsnGpC5
"No!" Angela stood up 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyijJqLFCt
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ShiuG1uk
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabL3CkyK2d
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGL6KxCoXt
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNsdkgwfWS
"If I could do anything 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0It1yJchy
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoZXP72ojv
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELvn5gU0jW
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVCmGYHEIh
us. Now get up."773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdclX6DLPbM
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe8CVat7nU
Thus, they began their 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHjDa5VMOQ
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkgxuAgGzi
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75fqT7WSm3
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8C6riJxVr
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbNayO9i1K
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdgjujTAMt
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaqW5H8OE5
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYRIARNSVE
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMr9ZYPzAo
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmHN0enYjs
The only one not 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IakPZrmjD
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRmrh8mboC
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4TPhy3MCB
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfUjpGTZbR
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLR8cmOraJ
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hyx87cvRi
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGZYbk7fCC
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFHOCaw1Ls
was no more fighting, David didn't know.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OjzA8UuYM
David hoped that 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKd7f9eRf0
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9bxX7UtSF
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ809htHWFyW
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrp6qF3oOi
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmzNsaOqUs
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoUirDepkt
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YwuUEywGf
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziikWKcTcV
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfSuqv787Z
David slouched to the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLVM3WfdtO
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl0tr60IHq
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBrqdOSvcE
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImHqiehdXU
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5usThZ8jNv
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoiHVCewg2
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Wzwc7oOl
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCgEVZjxlK
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XnkPOE19
No answer. ~Oh hells, do773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGg0HjE7M
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo68yZN1WEX
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW9MXWSIOW
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFXMgMUEKB
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2w8yP8zA0
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnG1SG7tqO
against putting it on her.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU9NrhHaic
"I...I should've been 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUseAJQjuh
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmthOgpoIRi
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JcD39ZaKv
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6bLePFLKs
David's mouth.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz6zQYH5Fh
"Why weren't you? Now, I773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFEtogUkza
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJcdWLStYy
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS5zFGC18O
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPFOSonP2P
"It happened so fast. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF63FhFaGYv
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcktkRe9VM
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUwOENGx3O
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkJpQV3Ouq
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKWmXB3Eos
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJcUfBHf4o
to herself again773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs30p1DisdS
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr1Hm7ZWtH
The mighty hunter 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOFM9XU8Tq
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsGqwVwfwe
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o2ysPOPPf
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6KUee3bRn
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTVgE1zDJn
Their respite didn't 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTOEfwnPG0
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1J96I95GV
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv9ClHtSar
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyffG3EqRD
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rsjCfnWgs
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1WuzyvQvG
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkIxrerjQH
that skill to actual good use.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOG5jxsBG
Thankfully their walk 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarlx8M0w6V
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cCzszi3L3
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrkBogvuPb
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9xHKBvgSy
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk3Q5KIM2d
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyRKAwB2J8
Gob motioned for them to773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcbJYb88ed
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23r6xaNWBZ
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5wwWiUwI2
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HkFxMj5lK
conveniently carried on his shoulder.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcaF4aEynM
Fly boats were made out 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5gVzq9p37
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmJEVynQm3
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuvGTjf6YO
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QwBDYHVpV
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVrgZObXfx
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQavVtpAsc
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGaFDzxqmp
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ELEj2a2p1
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeXBbtFUAP
or smiled. A frown.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5xWCvxkaq
He put the boat down on 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86YHkBpMGs
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnMENx33sg
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoOYLEPMsO
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI6CO13Q8G
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBosOtr7Qpc
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf608Xj4Yp
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZRlq77GX8
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOirNB8b5DU
making his wounds ache.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBLIkWyCBj
Gob put the boat over 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CidhBPVqw
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaErzRicqD
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtblEv9A619
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w6KBD235N
the other. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZQ4CmNoj
Gob handed David the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD7y3MFJaN
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezux8xHyuk
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tL4PmwyKE
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxCHwHuHNs
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a9imVMXfM
believed this was definitely one of those fates.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydPHTfDJPS
All though David did 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDHOF40c1M
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNdKdWmgp4
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMXJy4TKJm
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp81pZhSaZE
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcCAVOzne
by the sun.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUszRklzsh
They all disembarked, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlD833x3H8
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzxIOH4IiS
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dcjYHuS3o
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboSCzfCGNu
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xfrLwxigq
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm16JJBMJ9
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD1tMvSRDJ
"How do they manage to 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFVlEJSNob
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX5o0KE5LA
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4A2uVckI4
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MIchoQ2wb
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2KavJ0Wrl
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96lKFNM1Mc
David nodded, the answer773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAwu81oTk3
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSlmDhxtMR
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9eFxoNnvl
One thing David noticed,773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gCU1h06xp
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90hjbDjxfx
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWymw1I2Qc
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswlgRkIcKV
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBrzxIYE2G
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKWIhZvXbC
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaTihbXjVI
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwxxA6Yrq6
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKTYY1CRhx
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISOTmDlA5
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRObBY1fazB
It made him remember 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFTwQHr0OU
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRio4AjlSV
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXFW67fKk
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCjOVbB242
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckdJUxR4y1
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojfJk5ZteQ
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3QALBlIB0
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1rF3h2ao7
while ago.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS60yJQDkhc
Just as previously they 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKvor66cmV
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0JwOfLzVp
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksTp50jZd9
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlOOujfu8Q
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTM9RPdXxX
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSvo3YzrA
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXcvJEIESj
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Pdu4D9Ce
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOWFlaZbYZ
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRkzOKvllj
David was apprehensive 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bXnBnJoPY
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBUVywakZd
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK6SJyMqG9
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXMiTtlsKA
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu85y2SaxWp
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0PeqeVGQI
Before they all turned 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVBKWfC6a1
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNBrH5qd63
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxapQZ5L5np
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbS3wzVgZM
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43VCyUxt9Y
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL6umw37in
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRO5igr7Qu
Sadly the sweet dream 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYxZ85oZQP
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9DxCr7r8s
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRl3i0j6JE
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tWNGlsy3u
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1YtMzKxzM
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfrZK23euu
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvumR697TG
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7GYfmLDvL
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqByTNqySY
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwIWq2mhmY
David shook his head and773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVwKRhIN0V
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o297ttAKJ
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDv9qAy6v2
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE0NPdPbMj
too.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUktyNH74W7
They spent the morning 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHQznATySq
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmTqal4qdc
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZWRFN2RC6
crowd. ~773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxVi2UtgGK
After they were all done773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLFgrzGcFh
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JrYDZcciz
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVEZNNcPf1
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP96ak0HXC
Positivity all around.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzzFhZ5dPk
Soon they reached the 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u9jq8x9iC
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAGdyfBDBc
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2nZy3M6m2
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGQVcM4dS0
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlJ0urJkUr
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMIo4e0zLr
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5sSqGAZF4
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8rtTlKo1e
everyone won.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQdFQO7zw
Gob seemed to be pretty 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyI3A7VCx8
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU04unpY8i
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXlw7OsOpV
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc4Cv1H3gP
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwMMZRbqSN
making her way behind David.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjebsSu9XB
"Where's Lev?" Gob 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFKKIP6tT0
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfyMrxtBgQ
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQoGWdlddC
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD8cmFTGZZ
Reaching the middle 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhVWXywQOK
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdoFLiiR7x
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVmOYVAj5m
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NndP3jPEh
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm2SI0u30P
and quickly put a knife to his throat.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ksHOcDS3o
Before David could 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mY5Y1w0y
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLbHnnXKlV
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOxDTTpCnt
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyqOECfLR2
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qmdT0vdVe
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFavTIDhcG
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFk398Kkiy
The captains facial 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaKGiR6nz8
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowHVh43bW
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQGtnjoCa6
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYraWN2bjax
"Enough of this!" 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAEczsnypR
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q9xM60EVH
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIaocuvcNH
towards them.773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85aOoZvr4q
David felt himself flung773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt8uJ8Gu0r
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCqKvJbTYC
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCe2gUJq7n
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnJ1qFOR6G
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRJPjwk3HR
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 773Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpxuyRlEdV
overwhelmed him.
