"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ513ZF1kavF

"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OAUChIF6f
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnAMmHCqxI
Gob shook his head, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9YNdyL6tC
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC1cEcJiyX
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJFGHpXOyb
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB9XUe9tXJ
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb23SXyzwh
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx560sv1c0G
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDNlZ0E6Ng
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORMQPOADys
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLsgl7ezXa
would move.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsmlqL35YV
Now David has only been 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNUirUspzI
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzljStK0Ey
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5SDAPhfP
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKKEPgQdLm
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQbFd1lRfu
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw2gwDezsb
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PhuPkHdUb
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ov89Zy2i6
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL4eWmbYnU
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPhy3syUnk
divided loyalties.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpZi1Fh56o
Another important thing 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiD1Ol3UWO
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVQC2Nzkjm
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ4CorX7rp
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdaj5FWH5K
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZg44oPeZm
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOSfE5Wvlm
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdl5iKntxm
their destination.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVoh3sDIUy
Today they were out 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Kc0alyRs
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQTMC9Ltaa
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8FoC8Ygbj
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OIMiat1EJ
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWTCAdwhpC
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OmjIcAIP2
"Yes, now shut up and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA3qFUm5Zw
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLZNsDpu4U
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2lDPfXNld
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyKeoTidyM
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PnHhxlun6
They were at their 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9izXJGDBtH
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1zKL3keTX
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jGMrfHoq
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHjDK75EMt
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA8LANkSbp
"Alright, that's enough.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfICXsxrex
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPzIIeJc1a
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5VXoisw4B
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OvkihkSWM
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwJUtfA28f
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOtoWxsQkI
David walked in silence 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye5SZZGeaZ
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLvCe3NKbq
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMMF3HonpF
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgo0Ifa86
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMIAwPP4U9
A walk that would've 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduqcXxMPe3
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLw3L4TFkl
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbk2bPBBAr
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojSfLsuXhS
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwbtgTZGWu
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhxd1cK7pe
"I'll go report to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUtDEdMRuW
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6L5ZbKE13
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuYHTPVzSM
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpvQBhZRZY
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn4r4XO9ZL
winning Gob over.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgf4mVyQ5a
Francesca on the other 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqyZrhlcCx
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FXgxzq5mW
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQmgVT3KUu
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuKDmafiXM
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0XNooa5t2
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaiPyBvhly
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6UQcXQyXO
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Ey37nAbA
David just wished he 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhsis5dwKq
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9AsapYkNx
well no one said being a parasite was easy.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vTcAUAf2I
Further down the camps 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV60aqC0R0
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3whjE8A2te
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ88OeUbMxL
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9KvRaIej3
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWW6t5t8Cs
him. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKxOI4CLb3
"What'cha doing?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSNlqdnqf5
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAgaoyWJxM
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxHJmAmINW
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7twiQJ5Xh
David nodded. The boy 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxMyizUQC1
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3XoivWRyh
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA0j4xpwP4
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ8q8nybrp
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd7gqwSJw4
read them someday."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNbsB9luTj
Twitch muttered 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLrDb2r6eT
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzg9OZFNU1
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMI8NTREmf
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42pBV1Ub7d
Twitch started shaking 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjknvo1jRoG
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7toN2Rjrq0
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2My4fKHVH3
jump back even more than David did688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz029cRh0u
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqmyGEvNEY
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP1xcoIm7h
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH48UZlVIW
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCARJtTLEu
any instinct he had.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU37w3CC5Am
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34kkFMSXzj
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pVJyFAmc9
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbYg24V9po
now.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPGypbilRR
"Nonsense." Francesca 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50UrjouzPo
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3AYMjfjyr
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA1tRALyNA
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBemFM6g8L
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9x9fje1Fr
dark red.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiSw4UxqxL
Francesca spared Twitch 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHkTSAPZ8C
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4y2236DSF
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7eMVNTLfv
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLODz5nnXWr
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMstVmOJ1d
was popularly called.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqS3zFfDtq
The rebels not only 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fgv8G0pRA
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERph57l1df
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmfgugyDs7
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioHCbAIFax
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3f2uWOKJz
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ7MJfWTXA
to them. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQaIupMIun
David attended one of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ki8V1LdD2
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdss7SrlXnB
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWlUDRhlzO
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfTTjz9HQG
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HzTQP5QZm
learn anything new.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxXnDiWU0h
Before leading her group688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxBolutJ19
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc77okGC3A9
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaZv66S4dZ
"Of course, I'll see you688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxoyK1kTHW
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mkPQ4MhMh
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCKUVhHdg9
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlhz8Uovag
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8FmbilbON
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ157qm0EC3y
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmwF6MY0bZ
remember his parents or family.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVCxLOqErt
Francesca, unaware of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMEbHT0wP5
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKduatGisvb
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Zal6bwRe
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcp6maaREu
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nk6i27oap
Nook was an interesting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD434S1tOw
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBrN3l0jjx
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6b7toO19o
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOsSRYu82t
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2N3vJguru
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjf2EM3ycW
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0eTn9ME3r
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCdKfN3YVf
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwDGu8nGDK
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawQWLPegeF
Nook grinned a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKvCNas3L8
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhnSES9Iq
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3IvJB5kze
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtNcTfoeAj
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeWu3KBl5m
backs.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaO4LiNg3A
Thus any card games were688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy4ic6yH0b
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADTpQMSkFY
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEN6DYJs06
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWOpQGgWFC
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenTGYl3xwe
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MMtjmC1fW
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc7p43PaPu
did have.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnD5H85eBt
Some did think it was a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BhVfL67PO
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tpJaaK8Fo
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4hA6OqJKD
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIDDoUCeZQ
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMmP19J1JR
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs82GWFdVhv
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuChYBOS2o
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxVGWWPP9b
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9gdSLeGIG
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnDoW7DXLb
food has been.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlJL6sMZn0
They were the four main 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v1Uk7tdnG
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV3YYEtAWX
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52opIzVBvo
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSwlcGan9s
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVMJgVjJnL
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev4mFMykjZ
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nKEbKVOCZ
and accepted them.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamYsXviSRp
"''Ello boys." David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIo2ONHOi2
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4f3yzSgHf
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb0lPjYUY4
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqggy8HG7eF
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWqmqifSiw
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPDIL95sZ1
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ95d6aCqT
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx5ZY32Lhd
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhlcMqs7WD
least for his own benefit. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpNG69igQU
Nook was the first to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqJn86whqF
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eTpBnN4HA
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQCxxNX23x
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdezPwIKDj
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKZih3hCoh
Tiruk, in answer, just 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpFnFA63cf
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nHKi3k6BB
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcmu1oaQ8I
Next card revealed. A 3 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj4U3u54OB
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME06RzzOio
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJMhoISdqE
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI4m38jfep
very happy, old, man.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVPxvxUBRs
Since David didn't have 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6bQhaV0Bq
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0fdaLrU60
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecFj6ZAZzR
would be safe to take a walk.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbdIrOKlHz
Another thing he took to688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tLFio20e6
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT4Vri1YGR
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDKBAojg2E
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj9lkySlM4
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx9cRZ8XFv
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFVtFm49f7
He also found various 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9WMpUApSb
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNcsnvsy72
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFjRRLid2
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuFfeyjr9K
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGmfztTAhi
being more careful.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IR5osi5M9
The caves themselves 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDs9ZZq72S
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrChHBWjLf
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5g7D8IDiX
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJwlvLCU9b
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO21mWEU9O
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlmt62jFhp
himself that limited their exploring time.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13WMZ3CcPG
That let David offer his688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCfIFJbOVa
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblV1OaeEBR
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2uBdvbFk
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KAWa3QoJl
free more people for patrols and other duties.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECwCZLvRwf
This time though he had a688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqof2nC7R2
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWit7s1vGVc
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkizVkQ4lku
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3fBc5MWzD
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2m0dyhNcm
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKlN02BaqQ
That's where he was 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY4JXge1BU
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMGoe6crXp
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR6Mb2FL2C
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn8dBoiRBa
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRFLSVNAra
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlze676fm3
better in his mind.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40jQo8nJIn
Thus grabbing a torch as688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxHawnOgZE
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNhLzBvDsf
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsACkDLErPH
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF4wkjxQzQ
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTA5qEVat2
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC4OmvBWGS
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EoBVOZ302
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HnwJhGMk7
his mind wander and just blanked out. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBSJV4m1Wb
Before he even noticed, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AE4lw0Wio
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7ON3SEzd
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLJOAcVmaO
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKwToOVzod
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY0ueDPAMJ
the smell of unwashed masses.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhT3gzsEU6
It did seem that David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsD3eBBrqn
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURHQPPqzML
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsrApMCEuf
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUbwPx5IDx
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf44mngAZr
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCXvFE9Hki
seemed to satisfy Stevie.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHlqEkkaz9
"Don't keep Francesca 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Gg7eQf9C
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJoCn2ruYn
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB1tQRxmfs
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiNooM7jBi
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MtFbhb3SI
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0KCT12YER
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHN66qJyKG
walked away. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiraMW4klRj
David smiled and waved 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgHhqqXsMp
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX6svexN1F
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm7wBvedXq
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxb8PAf4p
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cTXVyLPLZ
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnIjK4kz0c
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Yy3sOiL3
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YAYOCuOIT
the paragon of virtue.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwSVRXAwgS
Her room, as per usual, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gi9U3kij6
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHASN4ychT
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxraSDKTjtO
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwe2jhwepX
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA267ibyUmM
to light up all caverns and pathways. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E8pjlCpp9
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiqdzuHRNM
David sat down with a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEoo6cYWu4
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8najCofbSF
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH3oP3IW6I
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWPvM8cnuY
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyFI2kCUur
in a stream. Delicious.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4b6bkqTK5
"So pleasantries first or business first?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZwOmyeb6
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrFdDmUMwB
Francesca nodded and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbChsNIV1X5
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC78tMzb6Z
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjcd3kIQSJ
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8W4g0lM50
fast eating was paramount.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC40ENUVnJ
As expected David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4geqRfTqT
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUIEdnPtjH
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZQDtSrcif
deliberate eater.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgDYEyEK3n
"So on to business." She688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK3e09Xnum
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPsqPgbzdQ
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcoLdKFyop
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtMPlZUDjB
"In a way. It's someone 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbJZ4D451n
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m67NbLdEa
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRVN1NqJpK
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ8o1VPK4x
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzb3QApKfm
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Ibe1Wo5y
"Well, there is a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYiUn4t277
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDteKpiY1E8
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcEBwBdt2S
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sa8Bnq5mR
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwWc2O3ZA8
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMpgfrRf2l
in a few days the edge of a different isle.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyTzxSBISM
"We will also be moving 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9711my4oYG
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaX52A0Gsx
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Dc2zDdQw
so some will know where to go."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aPbSKQtM4
"That's good, why did 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnWd9LaWGU
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrg2LOkKz0
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpeUGuz1Jj
was interested in the answer.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3r182Yy2G
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNw9pj7h6Z
David nodded, not a full688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnbcETUaO2
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmtJmYAYXu
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqBDnFq3Gu
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrvxfOic8
"Thank you." She said 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDniiDgftj
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTcJ4wAAXm
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99j2OILPOx
regroup at a specified point."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllefZOWGg3
"How will you get 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVM9048HaH
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpw7yl5lvl
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ4oMtfJl8
city.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1H22XzbBK
"We have small sky 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkwClejlCe
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor3SQJRtV5
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00oyVnfOgv
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx2oRy6faC
group."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC9WLOSU1h
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUMNDlzMHi
She gave him a sad smile688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTgohQxN7V
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MIRhRtjHW
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52fdQmUK3
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgopdGMtpU6
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAwANlf7Ss
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU4qzBLP1f
their past in the past.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM77GbCTTm
"Now then, back to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42CqeAU4KM
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGL0jdxYKg
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWn59k6NDK
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvSUW3H1Py
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhwFVsLJmr
"You'll have it. I'm 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzEZl5w0ju
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQfsKE6dU8
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2QFPV39A7
on a rock hard surface.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczF6pZyHC1
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqUEpncDRz
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkrOsA59dh
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraY940XzhA
"Sadly no, I'm as 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgpzKEZgOa
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMwKLlqyUJ
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7DazGKHAh
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV9MIJuVvC
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECT0qmgmCS
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdzJlMkxAk
"Do not worry, I am 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIwnlEQbrn
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIShQfwL0No
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxehoz8stA
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVuc5w8kjt
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUGBruK0HO
"We're under attack, they found us."
