"Evil? Evil is 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PHkgEJpqQ
subjective, my good man. What is evil to us might be perfectly normal to659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjFyEkCE5h
them. Who are we to judge what is evil or what is good?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60z9zNH2Lu
Captain Rourke, trying 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX8rkw5XY0
to prevent a massacre on Rourke isle. His crew stumbled upon natives who659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡammng7gKOL
were sacrificing their own young. The quote was written down by one of 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkZgGlT9Nb
his crewmembers.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz97hXU18f

Seconds, minutes, days, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDb4866vga
months. Time passed. David could hear the sound of a lock, tick..tock, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHlgrIjVBr
silently going inside his own head. A 100 ticks, 500 tocks, more than a659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJxFQf1424
thousand of tick tocks.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIw2hOgm7R
Finally David turned 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eJvk6wHZw
away from his own reflection and the Darkness shattered revealing Jester659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxADJxoAwY7
and the grey sky, littered with various paths leading to damnation, for659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jMJsRbWJB
what else could be the end, but that?659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7O75SAtsh
Jester himself had 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBose5qmaza
changed as well, at first David couldn't place him but then he knew. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzJaMiMGLU
Jester looked like David. With eyes full of life and hope, no scars 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8S87zTIoZ
riddling that body, to David it seemed like a parody of him, but also of659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXj6biv5Ct
what he could've been if his life didn't turn the way it had.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptu3QQK9pS
"That last vision. What was it?" David finally asked, looking away from Jester.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjm0z3dJSM
"A vision of what could've been and a test." Jester walked to stand beside David, who still refused to look at him.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR6HpTtuky
David didn't reply. He 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIloKw4FAA
waited for Jester to continue by himself. "All you've seen was the truth659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnNs1ap1T7
and at the end I wanted to show you what destiny took away from you."659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41NKpj45fN
"I don't believe in 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mNCa2zhvv
destiny." Davids attention wandered as he saw two shadows, one big and 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fgGadJbZI
one small flickering in the sky until fully disappearing.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL10dBEqKv0
Jester chuckled. "Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We're all just pawns in a bigger game."659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEMU8BGy5k
"The only pawn was me, letting you manipulate me." Surprisingly David didn't feel any anger towards the fact.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z2YIlyFV7
"And I'm a pawn of 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeQ56jA0uK
someone else, and that...someone is yet another pawn. And so it goes and659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSrbUnsUlr
goes." Jester appeared in front of David and grabbed his shoulders, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcaHl5FVIe
holding him in refusal to turn away from the truth. "I manipulated you 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl7uF0Y8Cw
so you can rise above being a pawn, above being a king or a player. I 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HIXmQXqMC
want you to rise above the game and destroy it, together with everyone 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZTMGf9V6j
on the board. You want that aswell don't you?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7KmPDWvCI
Broken bottles, tears, a happy family flashed in Davids mind for a second and then it passed. "..Yes"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI89js56D1u
Jester gave a sigh of relief. "Perfect, then..." Before Jester could proceed David interrupted him. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK6XvJoSYK
"No, first tell me why. Why do you want to die? Why were you there when I was born? Why...me?" 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SoivG8IDb
"I've been dead for a 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1aGSxP2Gl
while now, this is just an echo of me. A fade ghost, whatever you want 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnsGUs7vBt
to call me, my life is not my own..." Before Jester could continue his 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF67Ks4UHVy
form faded but then flickered back to life. "No...that's enough for now,659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ap36Agzo5
can't reveal everything. To answer your second question it was just 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eZNXlRijW
luck, I was close by in the fade when you died and I attached myself to 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cOO8SvyRV
you. I guess that answers your last question as well, doesn't it? It was659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLtJWp91HP
just luck."659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzrm25dvAU
"If destiny exists, then it wasn't luck was it?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgWMsOa76e
Jester laughed. "Such a 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbmEjPGsp3
narrow view, it'll change in time." He paused. "Destiny is not a narrow 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTFLov84ne
path. Destiny is a wide road, a road that leads us to where it wants to 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDKf4rWMda
go, yet on that road we can move. We can take a side path, we can 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwB8mML0YA
stumble or stop and on that wide road there's definitely room for luck. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKFnTl1uGQ
Do you understand now?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7FmdRJF0T
"All I understand is 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeCkXLB2w4
that you've no idea what you're talking about." First Jester talks about659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMdPhtLsSB
destiny as a player in a board game and now he defines it as a road. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zqt6dJptG
Can't he keep it to one metaphor.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8gVJpWLSD
David sighted, this is pointless to get stuck on. "I'm guessing the artifact somehow helps with that?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwxVDEjc23
Jester nodded. "Yes, it 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty3Oi47rOE
will unite your material and ether body. Most of your scars and injuries659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF728fsMkeP
will heal and you'll be able to travel between the realms at 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLihkoYaRB
will...Might also do some other things aswell."659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNCHHfWmLd
"Why not get it 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtiNebIwkF
yourself? If it lets you travel between" David waved his arms. "This and659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7pgIBZEq2
the real world, I'm sure it'd be useful to you too?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl0O6aEfym
"I've no physical body, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLP4yjFtNX
the artifact might have effect on me but it might not. My interactions 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZgldUuCbM
with the physical realm is limited anyway, even if it does resonate in 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NQHSG5WJE
the ether I'm not sure I'd be able to pick it up."659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWaD3P7XZu
David shook his head, so659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruNWJbSk09
many things he didn't understand, so many questions he still wanted to 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA4LLLtLW2
ask. He took a good look at his own image standing in front of him and 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY5CgI7m0X
knew he couldn't trust Jester, after all, turns out, he never could 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiJk9olaLt
trust himself. But he knew his path and knew where it would lead him.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx60IlQBgEJ
"How do I find it then? What even is it?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeCYjkjePT
Jester moved away from 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LUI8B9LB6
David and snapped his fingers. David was plunged to his knee as a vision659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXAx7Elung
swam in his head. An isle, a cavern, a glowing dagger on an altar. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWfeZrJODa
"You know where it is now. But so do the other chosen. Couldn't be 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kNbXbpiXs
helped."659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUe8LXB0iV
David shrugged getting up from the ground, it would make it harder but he'd find a way, he always did.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ugmUdqq2
"I'll create a 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm8hBd5lSN
distraction, use it to escape. I should be able to get the keys close 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XsAXICZsn
enough for you to take them." Jester paused and looked at a distance 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdgAFc6C11
where there were different lights flashing. "It's probably the last time659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno8QRL9HYz
we'll speak like this. Good luck, David. Kill us all."659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6pZZnEZRb
David awoke, everything 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpQicGEota
hitting him at once. All the pain moving across his body, scars and 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ302fDmeoPL
wounds burning as if they were just made. David barely managed to subdue659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchbWKBjN6e
his scream. A scream of pain, but also of happiness, he finally had an 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwcwJkQgPl
objective, a purpose and he would accomplish it. That purpose gave him 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqU1IBGp7x
the power and will to overcome the pain as he stood up.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWKzTR30Mw
Looking around David 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2kPMsvlAy
could see new, still wet, blood stains on the floor, in and right 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1MR9lZH5g
outside of the cell. He imagined those were his. David tried grabbing 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypVTA0Wc7K
the cell door with both of his hands, to steady himself, but only 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T66lkLHjC
managed with one as his left stump just brushed off the bars.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvFsAwq9X9
David could hear the 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrk4WWpJYx
jailer walking across and stopped in front of David's cell. He began 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKnjgruRKo
saying something but his voice was drowned out as an explosion shook the659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdDPNWVxtx
whole hallway. David stumbled, his grip slipping from the bars and fell659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJaQg0p91
on the floor, barely staying conscious as the pain renewed. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34saKaM8Aj
Atleast he was alive, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgWuarST3d
which was more than he could say for the jailer, a puddle of blood 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LhhQUVMqA
forming around his head. David grabbed the jailers body and pulled it so659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdenE1t5pNi
he could reach the keychain around the waist. It took some effort with 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5KUUozRjR
one hand but David managed to finally reach it. Finding the correct key 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUd2tCJ5K4
and opening the door with body infront of it was even harder, but with a659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnZm7253lp
grunt of effort David was finally free.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyweerDCxl
David heard a cough from the neighbor cell and could see a body covered in bruises and blood stirring. "Still alive, huh?"659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJNg4g4dur
David recognized Gobs 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VHQLkaF6n
voice if not the man himself. David thought about leaving him inside the659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlNb90NjGM
cell, but after barely making a step he knew he'd need all the help he 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOgyoKqWhj
could get. He limped to Gobs cell and opened the door. David was hoping659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXVYX6huKb
Gob would limp aswell, or atleast have trouble getting up, but the 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqAJnWIMaB
infuriating man stood up as if nothing happened to him and swaggered out659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX32yn3Ck2D
of his cell.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR1kBgx3nG
"Well let's get to it." Gob said as he started searching the jailer, finding a pistol and a short sword.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYX66mDpfn
"Did they tell you what 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUP1MzBKRJ
happened to Angela?" Gob asked, carefully heading down the hallway and 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1kS85N2we
leaning out of the only door leading into the ship proper.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW74eqIwSg2
"She's dead. At least that's what they implied." David answered, slowly following Gob.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ380M41seZU
Gob nodded and together 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TSy1Ay2q7
with David left the brig. The ship itself reminded David of the flying 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDQBV3eHGg
fish, as fire and steam was raging all over the ship and some 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KcS2muhmE
crewmembers caught unaware were lying on the floor either unconscious or659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2kGrc1iu6
barely so.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iJXMuC4a
They moved a short 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLqcLgiXxj
distance ignoring the crew who didn't get in their way but still being 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9cAvP3zUI
careful slipping from shadow to shadow. Or at least David try to slip, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnbz7ReQ8x
with the wounds he was much less graceful than he wanted to be.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKst9yK5xmI
Surprisingly there were 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpnArCEeew
only a few soldiers who were out and about, and most were too busy 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtljE0uPW2z
trying to control the damage, so Gob and David managed to successfully 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X3sNh5OCH
avoid any fights while looking for a way out and by that they meant any 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG0fU1y8K6
hole big enough to lead them outside as they couldn't leisurely look for659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8St2JMEnNV
the doors.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dg2Otw9sc
Luckily they managed to 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs1t3NWVYA
find an opening, most likely created by an explosion as it was 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEPPoaCulv
surrounded by fire, that didn't dissuade Gob who jumped through the fire659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8xWy57qnP
into the outside. David, taking a deep breathe, followed him. Luckily 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLtIvIaOt3
he only got a bit singed as the sunlight hit his skin.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES69VryyXY
"Hey! Who're you!" A shout came from David's side.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0GnmuOkKW
"Demon Spawn." Gob muttered and rushed the three soldiers with his pistol and shortsword.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXp0YjRQi1
The guards were as 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvTlPgqoon
surprised as David and didn't manage to react until Gob rammed his sword659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGVohraRiP
into the middle one's chest. Before the body even hit the floor Gob 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcQhobUeXX
span around and shot the guard on the left with his pistol, as the man 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueq7OrpTaW
was just taking out his own weapon. However Gob didn't manage to stop 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbE1K5O9AN
the last guard from stabbing him in the back. As the sword was taken 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSX25X0QE1
out, though, Gob quickly moved his waist and backhanded the soldier, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR20nF9qTIh
causing him to stagger.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGImrhmhkck
That seemed to be the 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsP9CjdmoS
last of his energy reserves as Gob finally fell on the ground. His 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgKmcTKzXN
opponent, while still reeling from the blow took advantage and kicked 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PPm1wEkFN
Gob in the face, and kept kicking.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUhrVmUO8i
All of that only lasted 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs8zdAPz8Y
seconds. David finally noticed his moment to act, as the soldier was 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYg39jkEyp
paying attention to only Gob. Thus he sneaked behind the soldier, while 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjKY420dPy
picking up one of the discarded swords, and stabbed him in the neck, 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LZ2Tss92v
just like he stabbed his mother, at first the kicking continued but soon659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNq9NslOK6
enough the man noticed blood coming out of his mouth and neck. David 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ObPfK9J2
pulled out the sword and pushed the guard back, who, having no strength 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDrKpRQWp
left, fell down and bled out slowly.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b8SdpYgkI
David looked down at Gob and offered him his hand. Gob refused it, instead deciding to pull himself up.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V2VJTMyKO
"Thanks." Gob said 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpbfldtEFq
gruffly, obviously unaccustomed to the word. "Now that we're outghg..." 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOwQ0EHMs3
But his last words were drowned out by blood as he found a sword 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClfNYV9VYQ
piercing his neck.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMepnZMrH9i
"That's one promise 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuf0IewyC3
kept." David said as he pulled out his sword, watching Gob falling, his 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XuQH9Soid
eyes slowly draining of all radiance. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFGv07BMud
After the hulking man 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypns3W3CLx
fell David quickly collected more weapons and bullets. While the 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOb3gGiXhv
fighting didn't make too much noise, he didn't see a point in staying 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWOKVPcdIl
near an enemy ship. Thus everything, he could carry, collected, he 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq45z6Iclu
quickly proceeded to walk away from the ship, into the nearby forest. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1hHuzJ0G4
His objective clear in his head and his will stronger than ever.
