Ether possession. A 379Please respect copyright.PENANAqeDPWSXmTf
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the379Please respect copyright.PENANAtwZ3pHULNX
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 379Please respect copyright.PENANAp7GUAjNEnX
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 379Please respect copyright.PENANAkLmtNVUXQ4
enough to classify a person as possessed.379Please respect copyright.PENANA8LOhnNPTzK
Many believe that mages 379Please respect copyright.PENANACJcAQ6Bktr
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 379Please respect copyright.PENANAek9S0mW233
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer379Please respect copyright.PENANAypvc1xQDIJ
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 379Please respect copyright.PENANAQCZK4X7yHr
tackle possessions.379Please respect copyright.PENANAaDha6O7HEG
No, the peasants who 379Please respect copyright.PENANAQJisJrpcaz
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 379Please respect copyright.PENANAWeNSeOjVTl
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 379Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Zdo608v9
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 379Please respect copyright.PENANA210hAgiebN
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 379Please respect copyright.PENANAOUqHSA9HFL
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 379Please respect copyright.PENANAUTsEwHfzRy
Having said that not 379Please respect copyright.PENANATttpkMY1zU
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being379Please respect copyright.PENANAc2S0CduEiK
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 379Please respect copyright.PENANAAoPgl9ZjTO
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 379Please respect copyright.PENANAcXhhpUsBYU
their presence there being constant.379Please respect copyright.PENANAKhNkyxWypS
Second group that 379Please respect copyright.PENANA1GgCuZd9Ws
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 379Please respect copyright.PENANAlxfeOewMaD
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 379Please respect copyright.PENANA3v9xGvuPcv
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 379Please respect copyright.PENANADZTUfV6TRB
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 379Please respect copyright.PENANAO7pKZf7Rbs
forever.379Please respect copyright.PENANAV6jTiU4GQO
Third group that 379Please respect copyright.PENANAq6HQjhUzhb
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's379Please respect copyright.PENANAr7zdE7bcLn
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose379Please respect copyright.PENANAyBOaw40fdM
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 379Please respect copyright.PENANAlpGGBTOIx2
inconclusive. 379Please respect copyright.PENANAkVl6160xPS
Something else to note 379Please respect copyright.PENANAFKsrs70uod
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to379Please respect copyright.PENANATdImJW2x8A
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 379Please respect copyright.PENANAotmJjxfZc8
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 379Please respect copyright.PENANAkD9PRjooSL
world...379Please respect copyright.PENANAxZuz72EYSM

379Please respect copyright.PENANAEavwys6gEQ
Who would've thought 379Please respect copyright.PENANAR1YII7l0Kg
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 379Please respect copyright.PENANAArhJW5ZOpV
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 379Please respect copyright.PENANAG4J8raZq1W
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 379Please respect copyright.PENANAfhwRZfbWJ9
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 379Please respect copyright.PENANAAml8d2jk1r
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 379Please respect copyright.PENANA0syy3Plo4b
than the other.379Please respect copyright.PENANA6mImw3065E
Thankfully the walk 379Please respect copyright.PENANA1M7Qp7UVYh
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 379Please respect copyright.PENANAwzpULYFV1D
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 379Please respect copyright.PENANAKrwD7smrql
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a379Please respect copyright.PENANAle2Vk41EQ0
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 379Please respect copyright.PENANACkohExSlbc
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the379Please respect copyright.PENANAcDgnCfrdQ4
pathway from any praying eyes.379Please respect copyright.PENANA9KqPG1oajC
As David entered the 379Please respect copyright.PENANAJV4B9j7V7r
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A379Please respect copyright.PENANAlZPn5zoCAq
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.379Please respect copyright.PENANAAiJhd5kTC4
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 379Please respect copyright.PENANAnpxzGnXpkg
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 379Please respect copyright.PENANAguzDic4W4q
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a379Please respect copyright.PENANALq1p6gfvxp
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,379Please respect copyright.PENANAeKY5tDGRLx
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 379Please respect copyright.PENANASzIsyisQzn
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 379Please respect copyright.PENANAdfaEQ04RIs
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 379Please respect copyright.PENANABaVaDItqGp
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.379Please respect copyright.PENANA4K0chsx2yR
"Get a move on. We need 379Please respect copyright.PENANAtoOMDnHdru
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng379Please respect copyright.PENANAbmEBlXk4Pr
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 379Please respect copyright.PENANA50ooQH757E
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 379Please respect copyright.PENANAPXWJVcScoI
and rushed to catch up.379Please respect copyright.PENANAbG40NrTvgA
Gob led them down one of379Please respect copyright.PENANAIcGHU7nQ86
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 379Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Sm8dfDiQ
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 379Please respect copyright.PENANAaf1GMpMO2I
After a few more turns 379Please respect copyright.PENANAY7TWDP276U
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 379Please respect copyright.PENANAVRfC9Ww2FZ
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 379Please respect copyright.PENANAluKiBwT8IR
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 379Please respect copyright.PENANA4RfCI4TGNz
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 379Please respect copyright.PENANA2xCNJwgIyO
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.379Please respect copyright.PENANAoyOuRn4Enu
"So, what do you guys do379Please respect copyright.PENANAI9BMOZhau1
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 379Please respect copyright.PENANAVrz6amTMia
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 379Please respect copyright.PENANAuGI0o8THGi
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 379Please respect copyright.PENANAObw8yk8LKm
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 379Please respect copyright.PENANAGCF7AlOnLT
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 379Please respect copyright.PENANAsK5KojL6cq
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.379Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Ft4Kwj6c
David even managed a 379Please respect copyright.PENANA2QcJpyx4uJ
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 379Please respect copyright.PENANAfzCMUWGF6X
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 379Please respect copyright.PENANApZLmaBPoqr
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 379Please respect copyright.PENANAFCyUwqDrgC
headfirst into the ground.379Please respect copyright.PENANAv3bsTxgsTL
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.379Please respect copyright.PENANA2KRSXa66pj
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 379Please respect copyright.PENANAZOSLynPSKu
David entered the 379Please respect copyright.PENANABkQXiWIfHI
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a379Please respect copyright.PENANA5JlU2ZKvPV
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 379Please respect copyright.PENANApBFIYqe4wS
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 379Please respect copyright.PENANAOOZ16CE9GO
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.379Please respect copyright.PENANAXqVnY52XWk
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.379Please respect copyright.PENANAZBtDw4JT28
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.379Please respect copyright.PENANALkmP3D4pI5
"Perfect, leave us 379Please respect copyright.PENANA33ZTRe6EMI
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 379Please respect copyright.PENANAq9rPHm1Rog
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.379Please respect copyright.PENANA1vjT5lU6LM
"Yes Gob?"379Please respect copyright.PENANAweiAudBO9V
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."379Please respect copyright.PENANAWFhNqwvXxV
The woman gave Gob a warm smile." I appreciate the concern, but I hardly see a point in killing me in the middle of our camp."379Please respect copyright.PENANAHFWnkCXjWo
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."379Please respect copyright.PENANAzSopda97xP
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 379Please respect copyright.PENANAWeRRIsXmdt
Gob stilled at that but 379Please respect copyright.PENANAR53YRN3tNj
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.379Please respect copyright.PENANAHIzs1WwPqA
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 379Please respect copyright.PENANArAI9kqsRoO
gone.379Please respect copyright.PENANASqDk0V4IZA
Francesca turned towards379Please respect copyright.PENANABMN0DN1D55
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 379Please respect copyright.PENANACLpIzyGIBY
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 379Please respect copyright.PENANAmi71Mlqf1U
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 379Please respect copyright.PENANAQrdVZhTsfQ
side of the table.379Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sbap6pGlC
David nodded and moved 379Please respect copyright.PENANA4FOjyk8cGD
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 379Please respect copyright.PENANASDjcm3dsey
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and379Please respect copyright.PENANAXsY6MDBHyQ
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 379Please respect copyright.PENANApH7INtygc0
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,379Please respect copyright.PENANAnaIyYUS5e4
"Who chose you?" The 379Please respect copyright.PENANAjkc7uElOaC
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 379Please respect copyright.PENANAEPywwNztdt
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.379Please respect copyright.PENANAXNeQDp9eTM
"Excuse me?"379Please respect copyright.PENANAhueVCBsP1l
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."379Please respect copyright.PENANAoRnPTuYJn3
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"379Please respect copyright.PENANAQzOVbmolix
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 379Please respect copyright.PENANAOiyEqdmIDV
"We have been chosen by 379Please respect copyright.PENANAy5AWAHYrSt
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 379Please respect copyright.PENANAlVp89IijNY
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 379Please respect copyright.PENANAbaeBJbR8NL
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"379Please respect copyright.PENANAAy0xq5qTOQ
David wanted to laugh at379Please respect copyright.PENANAbuxE4MLBR7
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after379Please respect copyright.PENANAW59oLLB9J3
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 379Please respect copyright.PENANAzRmXXzVpvw
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 379Please respect copyright.PENANAxEigm2OdXY
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 379Please respect copyright.PENANABhvactjo2M
feel anything else right now, though.379Please respect copyright.PENANAHNDCU4BvPF
"Sorry, no idea." He 379Please respect copyright.PENANAH3ypNlEXgi
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other379Please respect copyright.PENANAosZOUi6Vo5
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."379Please respect copyright.PENANAQdo5FpwRQn
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.379Please respect copyright.PENANAGdiiA6b1ua
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 379Please respect copyright.PENANAMvtJcR6ebh
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"379Please respect copyright.PENANABN5kNSuNZ2
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 379Please respect copyright.PENANAnTHwE9SRdO
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 379Please respect copyright.PENANAEnJ28LswP9
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 379Please respect copyright.PENANA8OsvN46yc9
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 379Please respect copyright.PENANAlwZUaWJ30f
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.379Please respect copyright.PENANAPcpfEmizF9
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 379Please respect copyright.PENANA8rmF1AGUL0
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 379Please respect copyright.PENANAm5RTRpoR0e
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."379Please respect copyright.PENANAqOHnAkEkzV
David nodded, as if his 379Please respect copyright.PENANA1PPzUizNJ7
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 379Please respect copyright.PENANAHsOcsFS1u0
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for379Please respect copyright.PENANAhW09UxTxnp
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 379Please respect copyright.PENANA7EnYlJi3cH
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.379Please respect copyright.PENANAsf77oVDVvF
She shook her head 379Please respect copyright.PENANAqcguZQU9VH
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 379Please respect copyright.PENANAJdKmBeOnzP
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 379Please respect copyright.PENANAkJKoLFBrNy
you'd know more, but..."379Please respect copyright.PENANARj1ADGrdin
"Sorry for not being more helpful."379Please respect copyright.PENANAUTsWXeHcs9
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 379Please respect copyright.PENANAUlE0ZcEF5i
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 379Please respect copyright.PENANAz5gh58L63y
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.379Please respect copyright.PENANATb1s8L2Ltl
David sensing an 379Please respect copyright.PENANA3OvdRWSnA5
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 379Please respect copyright.PENANA4yI94aw1S5
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 379Please respect copyright.PENANArm4GiNQiyy
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 379Please respect copyright.PENANAmyjlsqvJDp
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 379Please respect copyright.PENANAgenqqeNIVy
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.379Please respect copyright.PENANACemBQh5Gg7
Francesca looked up to 379Please respect copyright.PENANAy0D5Fz2gw0
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 379Please respect copyright.PENANABExnF3fzTw
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 379Please respect copyright.PENANAz5qtPMILfu
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 379Please respect copyright.PENANANVpN0GsWtv
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 379Please respect copyright.PENANAhTG7c3OuPw
you traveled all over Astaria"379Please respect copyright.PENANAMk6PjrQik7
"Traveling the isles 379Please respect copyright.PENANAKsuw2opfHc
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 379Please respect copyright.PENANA92Ds2Upy2Q
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.379Please respect copyright.PENANA649WOGPU4W
"You jest." She shook 379Please respect copyright.PENANARXz8nfr3Qw
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 379Please respect copyright.PENANAOGHZ9nCttq
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"379Please respect copyright.PENANAowJJPZAahE
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."379Please respect copyright.PENANAttyQFEYdRu
"My condolences for your379Please respect copyright.PENANABIKdrBVWG6
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 379Please respect copyright.PENANAfvCcqWodrP
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."379Please respect copyright.PENANAOjjLN9Jok7
David nodded and looked 379Please respect copyright.PENANACWF6WQnaL5
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were379Please respect copyright.PENANAVR1ouuo9Hg
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 379Please respect copyright.PENANAcSUcYVl7hb
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 379Please respect copyright.PENANAjhxbQj8kf7
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 379Please respect copyright.PENANA5XwdMysEes
could not see the good in a person then who could?379Please respect copyright.PENANAeZqWHrnQoh
"Gob believes you are 379Please respect copyright.PENANAq04KzgwtiT
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 379Please respect copyright.PENANA37u0GEPnFB
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 379Please respect copyright.PENANAUYS2RCntSg
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least379Please respect copyright.PENANA1qqNu8EjTz
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 379Please respect copyright.PENANAOJSeerVNTX
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 379Please respect copyright.PENANA2QzDDfAZFi
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 379Please respect copyright.PENANAiWaqkUu0ah
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."379Please respect copyright.PENANAnvk7GGN0CU
David shuddered at the 379Please respect copyright.PENANAUfvNOWH0iY
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 379Please respect copyright.PENANAEZuyIE9Xf9
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 379Please respect copyright.PENANAt3clVOYszh
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 379Please respect copyright.PENANAAiI5UoBK2G
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 379Please respect copyright.PENANAuwctrv70Zb
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 379Please respect copyright.PENANACjcHlvY6Wr
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 379Please respect copyright.PENANATWhvahrE9O
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 379Please respect copyright.PENANAaahRpIQhdu
so.379Please respect copyright.PENANA98hf0Osqoy
Francesca giggled and 379Please respect copyright.PENANA4B192iOI5O
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you379Please respect copyright.PENANA2GJWEHR1qD
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 379Please respect copyright.PENANACPDKQbfUVg
bath as well"379Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tym7SEHcv
David gave a fake laugh,379Please respect copyright.PENANAPDQYGqkFx3
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 379Please respect copyright.PENANA8JaotZa8Hu
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 379Please respect copyright.PENANANxLUiG49dO
appreciate it, my lady."379Please respect copyright.PENANAzk3urEqpNK
"None of that, it's Francesca."379Please respect copyright.PENANA9nvzFKQwSr
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."379Please respect copyright.PENANALdRt6IGD3R
Francesca nodded and 379Please respect copyright.PENANAUL2hTQ5Oxt
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 379Please respect copyright.PENANAnDHnFvufvj
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 379Please respect copyright.PENANAPU7L3RkJtU
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 379Please respect copyright.PENANARnrjDETZWk
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 379Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hha0AAh4N
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 379Please respect copyright.PENANANfqksOivV6
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.379Please respect copyright.PENANAPjqJz4k1AI
Rubbing his wrists to 379Please respect copyright.PENANAxG4xSN9q7E
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 379Please respect copyright.PENANASwL7x7PDQR
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 379Please respect copyright.PENANA4BIxxz0xp2
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 379Please respect copyright.PENANAlHMBRJuZg8
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 379Please respect copyright.PENANAfHlXpOsXxf
to her.379Please respect copyright.PENANANAnNc9Qs8G
~don't trust her, don't 379Please respect copyright.PENANA8zDIRvi6je
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that379Please respect copyright.PENANAXFXDaUslBs
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 379Please respect copyright.PENANAtsJOywMEdj
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 379Please respect copyright.PENANAet7ZkRSoL3
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 379Please respect copyright.PENANAHCEfUVwC5v
betray him first if he doesn't.379Please respect copyright.PENANAEmSbD9KrGa
His new home didn't seem379Please respect copyright.PENANARVDjRNch8g
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.379Please respect copyright.PENANAXC5llVSHh7
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 379Please respect copyright.PENANAonEq2Qn1Gg
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 379Please respect copyright.PENANAvW83mS3Od2
starts gathering around the pots." 379Please respect copyright.PENANAE4HGDqef2d
David just nodded at 379Please respect copyright.PENANAtIo0wnlfb3
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 379Please respect copyright.PENANAfOuZzwLEup
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 379Please respect copyright.PENANA4oYI9RYWyH
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 379Please respect copyright.PENANAdDnM846GhP
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.379Please respect copyright.PENANA1SCF2N2x39
He looked around and 379Please respect copyright.PENANA87BZz7UGTp
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 379Please respect copyright.PENANAXrtH0l1MmC
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially379Please respect copyright.PENANAmCnWHkFZig
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 379Please respect copyright.PENANAlNtNjNQWPg
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 379Please respect copyright.PENANAaGlg0aW3lw
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.379Please respect copyright.PENANAtn9VmRCucc
As he laid down further 379Please respect copyright.PENANAv0rliFWt39
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 379Please respect copyright.PENANAMPfGN6feDm
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 379Please respect copyright.PENANAfOcf3UIkq9
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some379Please respect copyright.PENANAbqEXwzvy4J
coins as well and decided to rummage his pockets for them, sadly he 379Please respect copyright.PENANAP0E3pfXCNN
