If David didn't dislike 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUkh1YIfcW
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nFy4DnS7b
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKQV8PDi2K
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1EAEJxXWq
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKZzL9E1sz
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMeIwsORi
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KMTbAh40L
would just bite him to death first.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd7dP2EJ0A
His shoes were 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g5kXa5xi5
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY60nJKgKCf
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqq6CjV5XV
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakAIeXdJsb
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTS8FDKH1x
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5BkFDJtjK
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYswul2r13
from the various insects.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvjxq7xUer
There was a silver 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW6fNKHHSJ
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkeUHrqrPl
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzx2mFY1iA
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj98dCrRH0E
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C3kg0xfa3
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC7JrErrZM
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QR3g66kbG
Thankfully, Gob left 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnQSAcj3P9
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sYJ420OJQ
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWETKXbqOi
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXH8JHvlMe
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3HkulUItn
be. ~751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8dak9QdB
While Gob did give a 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakj8yUsuOz
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OEaE7PZhi
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ydK7h8AII
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa4RedagYE
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC5RO6yWRu
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUAsXZNTTW
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYASEMHxiKn
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E1gxPVLM6
David nodded, even 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe06L2ZngS
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbzzkiYuln
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR3F8WMV8w
voice was getting more excited.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuImv7Ht2ln
"From the commonwealth 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiGqEeklRh
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pfZUSCD3T
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEl96LPXyc
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbyq2akNFo
gambling.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpFiq1Lre
Denise bumbled his head 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhku1XU5QO
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpviir8vTGb
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuABemNzSWr
after..." Denis trailed off 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDHcdxkFwR
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYV5p3Tuoz
Denise brightened up at 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6TJ2B6Us
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0mcSblPjw
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3UckbcmlM
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH52X3jMEIx
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfPszhrvkt
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1dyH8T4Y7
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r8BJa7dEW
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cy1r7ifm0
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyTuTC1yzS
Denise's eyes widened as751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsM2sNYQ5E
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VNk9WmSrN
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVm5eUH8Zj
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCggjTOURb
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbyLjuQwSy
"Alright enough chatter 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzfRfySFXf
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqB7cEcytW
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH9mMW6fww
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxksSowD9b
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkupXXHIYS
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys1IGNFJuF
Gathering all their 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzpCh4q0Hi
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIlMPYVccl
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3yUctu3S0
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OgALHvlSU
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lkQQFZG1W
respectful.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkMuJlqbAN
"Sorry, but no." Gob 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG5za2juiq
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75HLlmS971
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nh1YCqGop
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUqDMCYt33
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfDeFYm3SQ
the tough journey but no such luck751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡier03IOzll
David was impressed by 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q5AaH7LRY
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc5s9MCQO2
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmhKjVcygq
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WVQZQQbXE
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx4rlXRS5X
Gob nodded. "Good you're751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iI2M6QR5n
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IwR3k4FqQ
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPHZcePqTP
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhbz1BCePp
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AqjkxJRiI
the ships he served on.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RTlzsYMxz
Everyone began settling 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3SxQGbhiA
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LJjWAgHVV
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7EtSCs0ed
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xukkIm49P
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kUQ5Ia2wg
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFleBdW6b6o
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY0UMYP7Vy
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ7eXFi8Qr
Everyone else finished 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFvIZcYGq1
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc3Hep6mc4
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HeDwIMNjA
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu29PQ3gNA2
the big wide world.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Mo0p1WjN
After a while, David 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh2XTeDvmN
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6mf8YKJ0y
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW13d9xK6H
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgR7N2ZZ1M
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRpyw9p0dt
some trouble sleeping."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOYPf6IF6G
Angela looked at the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2me8gMcCT
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz93sY3TtXj
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYqlbDZbGU
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv6bkpz0GV
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i4cG8CiIc
"Everyone needs a loving751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYQILH0jzi
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWsUvvHdd8
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJOEtOTOgS
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZChoxeSsl
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tIDJbP92R
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0yyPMgtlu
David nodded. "Aye I was."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdkqLnQDNG
"But how'd you survive?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzKvZ1NAwm
"I'm just lucky I 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VKV9tPfev
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeCChCHhdm
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NrABIsbPP
yourself."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v5pA60C9S
Angela blushed scarlet 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRgBTaWbwP
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H04bd759r
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpIkP86pBU
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws9A7Gs4H7
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrn6n5hFTi
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxUzw0HnQa
reading."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w4A8yGF2z
"He sounds like a good 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeJ0KubZQ1
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHduPXoMe3o
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74LhzM7uLF
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEsXQD7c5V
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bGhMXcj4F
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHi0x9T5o3
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGiBTzhhAV
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmUivdvsF9
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbASEYKs2Q
Angela quickly rubbed 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaCgtIh5NK
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpt2kHZdph
that." She added with an awkward laugh.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ORZBjX48K
"Don't worry about it, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36KKYxwvWn
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVZ4TfhEwv
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6DFgHvAZk
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMf3bUl6oz
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiECBCCLfXH
smile.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm26CBQUq7
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p0ZQVTvh7
The next person on watch751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXdU1qQQKl
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR7aqX4XIs
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWJeLykvMC
name, quietly not to wake up others.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUo2rrdVAY
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuywdN5tMh
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvV3Lqa5j6
Denis beamed at the words and slumped down besides David. "So, do you really think I'd be able to do it. Go all around Astaria?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWrXmICeyI
"Sure, with me showing 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCgX8knzL4
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y0dJ4PqFv
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fGD5NzuhC
scrap."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXaki6J2S
Denis looked down a bit 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOnsbRQsZi
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx72szEVUp
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5vuMzpQH
what I can or can't do."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRQxvtjCIC
David nodded. He 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYq2nqrzbR
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJEyNbJHV
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdPoCS2DDp
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNKimjyWVV
Denis nodded, cheering 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohlgRA7ehZ
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN69Ikx3gz
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwcIu3RZZ7
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGTdXCHs0
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcwlZSBGws
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eiTiou1JZ
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZduT5GAFO
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pgmje4inP
Either way David wasn't 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO6IZq3Pms
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd6tmB8wfk
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tAvV3obSx
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Hz3PHnQI
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hQi9aT6Cg
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamXfX9oRf
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSXVaukfFy
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGYIMomv3c
After a lull in his 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCTioTFreC
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6jgkAme7W
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76kHm9PqO7
"Oh! Well we think 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXltLXxYq6j
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D07JYdNDe
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SI61ITkFC
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhhryNlC2D
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VthbHrS0G
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzEIAq9ZAN
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarTGBwATvc
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVzaJhJbB7
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeKYJbmxD0
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpbldZzsff
happy songs.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTOqf5t95a
After Denis's watch 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVEmCsEl2N
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWfUYU06mF
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8P527rCm3
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAauI21knb
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWCmF0HA48
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjRDlHJuBf
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsINmYXvVuT
With a sight David 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom5BE48aNH
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPfPrRJ0Ec
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYFPjLigfz
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqwGAhZIl3
As Rock continued his 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXosRVaW2j
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkS9Fzstx7
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLmymGCGb5
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeSK5A485U
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZaZUCNVRn
To David's dismay the 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkpGBExB3j
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd6w9rWqWj
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Cvm1tWr2
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9bKZPRn6e
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGt1j3usMp
gruesome journey.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb4K0t5L0I
As soon as he closed his751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElNxGCfFS8
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhsPKHOm7S
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSHnthK6GX
"Oh fall off, you cloud 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGrRbq8STd
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjEh7YKfKZ
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6umnJgS44Z
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSXb3bU3oZ
him. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuAddWW9qU
During the walk Denis 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5wfAMJqnF
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmcXSlPOkY
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oWVaayxvl
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DlaaozRwg
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSpeKXMAby
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC01L9tJl5
