The agents of the mage council. They're a known secret, everyone knows they exist but it's considered impolite to mention.668Please respect copyright.PENANA4w1wAXpgx7
They are men and women 668Please respect copyright.PENANA3CMVVQCCPo
who aren't able to cast. Nonetheless they are trained to combat ether 668Please respect copyright.PENANAHFpCh99agd

They extensively trained668Please respect copyright.PENANAVUiEZt4LlG

668Please respect copyright.PENANAVjIg3BtuaK
Davids relief didn't 668Please respect copyright.PENANANdFi7NS2Ew
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 668Please respect copyright.PENANA0EnVGVKdAF
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he668Please respect copyright.PENANAKkZ63b2lro
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone668Please respect copyright.PENANAkCmsLai3I9
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 668Please respect copyright.PENANAdvAGRMrS0c
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would668Please respect copyright.PENANApidcZiX33F
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 668Please respect copyright.PENANAGh3zz0eQ40
better off than Angela.668Please respect copyright.PENANA8T6nNqyQFB
"Breathe slowly and calm668Please respect copyright.PENANABCfz308lEJ
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 668Please respect copyright.PENANAbUuWGIWSVO
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a668Please respect copyright.PENANArA7m3CPg7Y
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing668Please respect copyright.PENANAIhKFuLpb99
got steadier.668Please respect copyright.PENANAkMrMQBsvwy
"Useless." Gob said as 668Please respect copyright.PENANAIYOFPX4o4e
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 668Please respect copyright.PENANA21kBGtQH3B
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 668Please respect copyright.PENANAP5i79TQjmX
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."668Please respect copyright.PENANAksruKdZORF
After his conversation 668Please respect copyright.PENANApgPoT0jVgQ
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 668Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ4sKO8YNO
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 668Please respect copyright.PENANAj7R0lo8scv
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.668Please respect copyright.PENANAXMZBGb0fRY
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.668Please respect copyright.PENANAbUYroeEWxS
"To get new weapons and 668Please respect copyright.PENANAXtMxbod1KM
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 668Please respect copyright.PENANA3BgYzI7Oki
drying his shoes from any excess water.668Please respect copyright.PENANAmcZ6MWBK3R
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.668Please respect copyright.PENANAiFD6WswOD6
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.668Please respect copyright.PENANAhz7q8w6UBf
"No!" Angela stood up 668Please respect copyright.PENANA2j1BrvzPTB
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 668Please respect copyright.PENANA3jKSsNjJDj
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I668Please respect copyright.PENANAWypnN8u16p
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she668Please respect copyright.PENANAqVVQwfcdbp
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.668Please respect copyright.PENANAU91yfZxOLy
"If I could do anything 668Please respect copyright.PENANALH71uWOjQi
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began668Please respect copyright.PENANAyjEjD2D1UF
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 668Please respect copyright.PENANAb6rGYQVlpe
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 668Please respect copyright.PENANA0FWabZBTSO
us. Now get up."668Please respect copyright.PENANAufifzLHmaT
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.668Please respect copyright.PENANAHmsPbxIZ0u
Thus, they began their 668Please respect copyright.PENANAuNOy2hdw4j
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.668Please respect copyright.PENANAkfzN6KtZNw
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 668Please respect copyright.PENANAJckpqFu7db
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 668Please respect copyright.PENANA0EeIChK6wv
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 668Please respect copyright.PENANA5IatIXOXPd
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAWjhrpfi1X0
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 668Please respect copyright.PENANA2i7opVttrf
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of668Please respect copyright.PENANA8LOyYgthfX
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQIPVVeoN2H
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.668Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Ot1FY3aQ
The only one not 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQvQR1iURuh
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 668Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Oa03CyXq
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't668Please respect copyright.PENANALYMmTcG4hv
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 668Please respect copyright.PENANAg432sLaAgy
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.668Please respect copyright.PENANA3SVRXil3sJ
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever668Please respect copyright.PENANA0WmuNAEG7m
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 668Please respect copyright.PENANAGOWd6Ay4UL
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 668Please respect copyright.PENANAIbBXdGF5hT
was no more fighting, David didn't know.668Please respect copyright.PENANAVm3poEsxUa
David hoped that 668Please respect copyright.PENANAIpPfhVNANq
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 668Please respect copyright.PENANAscA99GLjfp
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 668Please respect copyright.PENANABdYBIp5Wne
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 668Please respect copyright.PENANAmtlrLrk9EG
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAYGwlkXXRio
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 668Please respect copyright.PENANACcji8AshdY
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 668Please respect copyright.PENANAZg4tWXUrH0
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 668Please respect copyright.PENANAYgpJNuUMMM
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 668Please respect copyright.PENANAlYEDGn78U9
David slouched to the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAXR4jSyVKNn
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 668Please respect copyright.PENANASwgbmuI0pp
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAIddjuI8leD
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't668Please respect copyright.PENANAOIvfzIAYIe
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 668Please respect copyright.PENANAH3szDn1Ou3
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 668Please respect copyright.PENANABC2UJkTleb
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're668Please respect copyright.PENANAuYqDfpPxwP
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 668Please respect copyright.PENANAmE4KY3n6CL
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela668Please respect copyright.PENANAfz46qWACT3
No answer. ~Oh hells, do668Please respect copyright.PENANAODiLbHFiLW
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 668Please respect copyright.PENANAo5ffY1huML
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 668Please respect copyright.PENANArZocfEuBr5
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 668Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ9xdKT1hJ
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and668Please respect copyright.PENANA8dHe0gyZ0h
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 668Please respect copyright.PENANA8y21vTuBQs
against putting it on her.668Please respect copyright.PENANANBFu2MasoM
"I...I should've been 668Please respect copyright.PENANAVSdCl8CVdb
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 668Please respect copyright.PENANAvzP8gYVMps
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 668Please respect copyright.PENANAe8UnUzTE1J
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 668Please respect copyright.PENANAXHkObcvoPL
David's mouth.668Please respect copyright.PENANA9jlQKtBTwB
"Why weren't you? Now, I668Please respect copyright.PENANAkZITxW8eQ3
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAR1qbReGVxm
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more668Please respect copyright.PENANAAyTn18v0Zb
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.668Please respect copyright.PENANA8EXGpYIcit
"It happened so fast. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAehRq14ZTAz
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I668Please respect copyright.PENANANris0pIjHD
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 668Please respect copyright.PENANAOOQt9PvGBI
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 668Please respect copyright.PENANA6fEnJ3Er73
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 668Please respect copyright.PENANA5nWb19ok3d
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering668Please respect copyright.PENANAThZkYd1yno
to herself again668Please respect copyright.PENANApztrsFIjvi
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.668Please respect copyright.PENANAFCPg5BfPSY
The mighty hunter 668Please respect copyright.PENANACTIc8a4zaG
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared668Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ZPjQmZZj
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 668Please respect copyright.PENANA4CMdWQihk8
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 668Please respect copyright.PENANAOuAaqZTSkH
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 668Please respect copyright.PENANAelOS5Bl4ux
Their respite didn't 668Please respect copyright.PENANAytCpeJMJYd
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 668Please respect copyright.PENANApyZ48IswKg
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 668Please respect copyright.PENANAJD3O5oghqD
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 668Please respect copyright.PENANA48BzHsxBSl
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 668Please respect copyright.PENANAO980hPQEhU
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,668Please respect copyright.PENANA8RvflcTqCh
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put668Please respect copyright.PENANAKuqxa5bZpX
that skill to actual good use.668Please respect copyright.PENANAk14YB1mtkI
Thankfully their walk 668Please respect copyright.PENANAHqiQZ3bxvr
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 668Please respect copyright.PENANA3KFUmQS8na
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 668Please respect copyright.PENANAfuY4EbrMTQ
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 668Please respect copyright.PENANA7uv6Aagx7q
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 668Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ9aK2qZEq
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.668Please respect copyright.PENANAE8Fpwmmi6s
Gob motioned for them to668Please respect copyright.PENANAO1oilf0mGw
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 668Please respect copyright.PENANAKFUv4FMMZq
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 668Please respect copyright.PENANA02oVlWK8t5
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 668Please respect copyright.PENANAiC0zWHOwOq
conveniently carried on his shoulder.668Please respect copyright.PENANAtkbm6BNib0
Fly boats were made out 668Please respect copyright.PENANAaPSsjqb7rp
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,668Please respect copyright.PENANAjVROeHg6xK
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAFRK2hlGsru
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow668Please respect copyright.PENANAJIAnXPQJK5
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 668Please respect copyright.PENANAsFUJ3q3yHA
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 668Please respect copyright.PENANA7zH5HhnLzF
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAlYNHq1ZtW4
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQXiWDrsy7j
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate668Please respect copyright.PENANAxA2QOZHOhZ
or smiled. A frown.668Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q1MjKS818
He put the boat down on 668Please respect copyright.PENANALy813mgGIO
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 668Please respect copyright.PENANAKDqJdgYOVg
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 668Please respect copyright.PENANA2oA2NP4xvl
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 668Please respect copyright.PENANABdiPfa6UXA
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 668Please respect copyright.PENANA3Irqtg5lzj
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the668Please respect copyright.PENANAh1YF8Hk2Ns
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 668Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Q1COLjaa
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 668Please respect copyright.PENANA0CrY7TWoM3
making his wounds ache.668Please respect copyright.PENANAJpErSu2aYe
Gob put the boat over 668Please respect copyright.PENANAnElz2fDfB7
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came668Please respect copyright.PENANAMzMSMfP2A9
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 668Please respect copyright.PENANAqzVTNg4xQF
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 668Please respect copyright.PENANAZSsf4gPk3k
the other. 668Please respect copyright.PENANA649IeYsCe5
Gob handed David the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAzJm6exoO1b
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 668Please respect copyright.PENANAaVRfDoZYoh
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 668Please respect copyright.PENANApW5PQDHAVz
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 668Please respect copyright.PENANAfsAUxUBhmo
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 668Please respect copyright.PENANA5nR2i0tOfS
believed this was definitely one of those fates.668Please respect copyright.PENANASaNfwHKWpE
All though David did 668Please respect copyright.PENANAYsCVhnOeOI
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 668Please respect copyright.PENANAhe49vahPj2
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 668Please respect copyright.PENANAGUYUzXqE4i
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAtz6koha3Zw
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 668Please respect copyright.PENANAk9fFEM3mIn
by the sun.668Please respect copyright.PENANAowHwYih9JE
They all disembarked, 668Please respect copyright.PENANALEzq2FmtWO
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQtMHEPb3un
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 668Please respect copyright.PENANA3oegQhX3KU
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 668Please respect copyright.PENANArlxgtakjW4
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 668Please respect copyright.PENANA9WStSyCOWr
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAv5eTIZkmRy
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.668Please respect copyright.PENANAWSjWYgPnqB
"How do they manage to 668Please respect copyright.PENANAsVFdrgWjHJ
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 668Please respect copyright.PENANAlEPrArGdVW
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 668Please respect copyright.PENANASpn6gdOjhu
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "668Please respect copyright.PENANAo6aZprvBvG
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as668Please respect copyright.PENANA87NV0LOEv5
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."668Please respect copyright.PENANA0mw54weL7O
David nodded, the answer668Please respect copyright.PENANADgsTL7h6eG
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like668Please respect copyright.PENANAh5ER3UwmoR
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.668Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ97cWANPR
One thing David noticed,668Please respect copyright.PENANApYCVwbH2Iy
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 668Please respect copyright.PENANAMXtOonEgQN
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors668Please respect copyright.PENANAowRETqxgE7
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 668Please respect copyright.PENANAeyyB5Oz9fy
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 668Please respect copyright.PENANA1nuUQDAYwd
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some668Please respect copyright.PENANAG1bmhQ0nGc
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything668Please respect copyright.PENANARgyE77cr4w
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 668Please respect copyright.PENANAKOxH2UBMQw
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQHSYkDCmD0
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 668Please respect copyright.PENANA7SfyYSWerl
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.668Please respect copyright.PENANAk8oo7nOFae
It made him remember 668Please respect copyright.PENANArLRTrgGaJP
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 668Please respect copyright.PENANAViOL8LptU5
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 668Please respect copyright.PENANAe6di4Xne6S
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't668Please respect copyright.PENANAufo30reDES
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 668Please respect copyright.PENANACJge7OLqzS
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 668Please respect copyright.PENANAjheuxBw9ex
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 668Please respect copyright.PENANA7mMEd3PqXi
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a668Please respect copyright.PENANAToUq4yULUC
while ago.668Please respect copyright.PENANAa645dOkLZp
Just as previously they 668Please respect copyright.PENANAuCbyUTATwk
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen668Please respect copyright.PENANANj6nTNKdgz
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a668Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Zm4eHBxk
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 668Please respect copyright.PENANAEMPX0eMLVJ
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 668Please respect copyright.PENANAVvx90FAQDR
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 668Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cu4T1Q8wp
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 668Please respect copyright.PENANARJCW6soYJA
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAm5s7g3LKnV
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 668Please respect copyright.PENANAybsH38duJA
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.668Please respect copyright.PENANAT2rjHogIok
David was apprehensive 668Please respect copyright.PENANAz9HMllH2yo
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 668Please respect copyright.PENANAxeO8Be50Hf
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 668Please respect copyright.PENANA1ymvdzxq3H
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 668Please respect copyright.PENANA6TpD9HsZ8M
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAzOCmOHlZZG
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.668Please respect copyright.PENANAbn8B2IDFWc
Before they all turned 668Please respect copyright.PENANAmWxCwEL74k
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 668Please respect copyright.PENANAbGDo1ZSQvs
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 668Please respect copyright.PENANAekgdZPrlJf
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could668Please respect copyright.PENANAmeGXckStrD
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how668Please respect copyright.PENANAEg2cTp5g5l
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 668Please respect copyright.PENANA07RlI9Vavp
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.668Please respect copyright.PENANAd0PdhV0gZH
Sadly the sweet dream 668Please respect copyright.PENANAp4xSV19ZDq
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 668Please respect copyright.PENANArDmFs6OYlJ
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 668Please respect copyright.PENANAqI3r0jNHZl
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 668Please respect copyright.PENANAi2xq1GmU4K
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial668Please respect copyright.PENANAtpldsJTKN7
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 668Please respect copyright.PENANAeRBEMVHp6M
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 668Please respect copyright.PENANAfcN9ino8Px
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 668Please respect copyright.PENANAoXF9iKvbjG
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.668Please respect copyright.PENANAtXFKF6dLQA
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 668Please respect copyright.PENANAe0fR7RKHER
David shook his head and668Please respect copyright.PENANAEPvJfg85M4
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 668Please respect copyright.PENANAPvm4LEv8EX
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 668Please respect copyright.PENANAyOP57yebFA
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 668Please respect copyright.PENANAlhurNnaS6a
too.668Please respect copyright.PENANAVxeyn60LsW
They spent the morning 668Please respect copyright.PENANAjeT2snxQcX
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAkgloew2zdm
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 668Please respect copyright.PENANA24aP50fZ0p
crowd. ~668Please respect copyright.PENANAamoIQNU1DK
After they were all done668Please respect copyright.PENANAFyChiQtJ6T
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 668Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ8sB29qUS
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 668Please respect copyright.PENANAzhQgz6u18U
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAV1RoZJmh7M
Positivity all around.668Please respect copyright.PENANAGHS7LP9m3N
Soon they reached the 668Please respect copyright.PENANAJDCGfDXSgT
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned668Please respect copyright.PENANAVZesEOU9hx
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 668Please respect copyright.PENANA3pMvUdrj2V
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 668Please respect copyright.PENANAh4chdtkIWI
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 668Please respect copyright.PENANAo4PTNLuCqF
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQATIqR7nyV
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 668Please respect copyright.PENANAZPW1mmp8oq
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 668Please respect copyright.PENANAxtsrPzfsPT
everyone won.668Please respect copyright.PENANAYNQB4xTd3H
Gob seemed to be pretty 668Please respect copyright.PENANAQj4nJ6bZ0N
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 668Please respect copyright.PENANAY28DeTb8QS
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 668Please respect copyright.PENANAIMyq6iq5P1
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 668Please respect copyright.PENANA5sgHXDQG47
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly668Please respect copyright.PENANAoHiZhFGN3b
making her way behind David.668Please respect copyright.PENANAWVRvo1rKZw
"Where's Lev?" Gob 668Please respect copyright.PENANASZFh9OH6ZW
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 668Please respect copyright.PENANAd7aV3gSmwL
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 668Please respect copyright.PENANAPb6LpUj8iy
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"668Please respect copyright.PENANAqvoCeENO6O
Reaching the middle 668Please respect copyright.PENANAsS2O0PdeUG
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 668Please respect copyright.PENANAwKGq2wRBeQ
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 668Please respect copyright.PENANAuzzko3ThbA
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying668Please respect copyright.PENANA936HfizRtz
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 668Please respect copyright.PENANADhv1o4qItJ
and quickly put a knife to his throat.668Please respect copyright.PENANAyUSeYnBRsz
Before David could 668Please respect copyright.PENANAd1RjaM8wXT
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the668Please respect copyright.PENANAw0cePfaSKI
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 668Please respect copyright.PENANAgU5X6hX3hZ
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 668Please respect copyright.PENANA7iLchgzu1S
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 668Please respect copyright.PENANATiCClJ59Zy
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 668Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Ug9UvMJk
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer668Please respect copyright.PENANASWXZevY385
The captains facial 668Please respect copyright.PENANA9pcHHoKISc
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 668Please respect copyright.PENANAE7rH2iDxQJ
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers668Please respect copyright.PENANA1sKyBHuko6
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.668Please respect copyright.PENANABMKPzpgez7
"Enough of this!" 668Please respect copyright.PENANAFpzl3SIjn8
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of668Please respect copyright.PENANAWPqEyeIzuE
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 668Please respect copyright.PENANACpJl8bblzt
towards them.668Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ8Z1Pa70M
David felt himself flung668Please respect copyright.PENANAoUmK5k5QWV
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 668Please respect copyright.PENANAM3g270um9S
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 668Please respect copyright.PENANAj58xiZCRzp
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 668Please respect copyright.PENANAYCRsrBivU7
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 668Please respect copyright.PENANAXiROq5EcX0
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 668Please respect copyright.PENANAllb0vF6OmC
overwhelmed him.
