750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEQm7vkbRn
Davids relief didn't 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblmwemkSvo
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROwz8QYFAY
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyvdot5L5o
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g4bL3JWSY
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhaLlVSRQb
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKMwlpCZ3M
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUzDuZBtM0
better off than Angela.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFdvGf2rPG
"Breathe slowly and calm750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3c5hSvfrZ
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LKA9Ek9wG
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviDjcRp5Lx
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsvIGVKPLy
got steadier.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uooGldDke
"Useless." Gob said as 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4sDIyUOh5
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrvcmj8pnd
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO4s3NQqQ5
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DI02F5Ziy
After his conversation 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehHysPTasj
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EJXVVo0J6
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaFNz3ffZq
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCjMFRqF7D
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhuySLSLPP
"To get new weapons and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqbYsXNr2O
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsjp4RuU0P
drying his shoes from any excess water.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiql4cCWxP
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KV8tTMOXo
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM8b0nRlMg
"No!" Angela stood up 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fILampdqS
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1n46PAHI3
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD3bfjmExJ
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtrxtaQ6FJ
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZlxcl9gau
"If I could do anything 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqPAO0gihY
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN76fEQJqtS
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELeShhHlvj
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKrn1Dtu7K
us. Now get up."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgcIjumlsP
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9THM1dnRw
Thus, they began their 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mQ3R8Spn6
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQDzjGoxXY
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8axZPypvYl
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRT2nJdKXq
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxoIbuDgFt
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEw3LKIErB
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNMpuGUVCT
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOofEKlI2t
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHBdhzd70I
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKi1guJZSg
The only one not 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PCWL5tkyW
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAOZIaJPsK
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIWAJzBFLW
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXu2oTqnYW
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSuch13oPz
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IX4b9CkOY
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTrYdJEK5c
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09iEI1C2RW
was no more fighting, David didn't know.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf44eVekWsK
David hoped that 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6W3zO4rOJ
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHAPMHPdfi
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrExB1AZ1i
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mnry5BZYm
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU1m9QB7eE
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z9MMtzMSc
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ6q7Q1END
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMw2Tvp2Ue
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKX1BIR0S3
David slouched to the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3vTZCQtkl
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSk26jVC4y
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDGTx4TtMm
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNTuIAv4kB
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8uGgsaX0Z
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVe6sTp1rs
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPX8tkaTbb
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp40gxE6m2G
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQewJgKEtQ
No answer. ~Oh hells, do750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO55i05Cop
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YfI16kj4Q
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxdE4zWHpj
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk0QpF61f0
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx3Vja1Bwu
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r9dcXQBUb
against putting it on her.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO6rRr6gjy
"I...I should've been 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRsKqHThAj
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZOtVUzIO6
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNijzdJJRdf
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXwaoI7ctz
David's mouth.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunJ7V4Cztz
"Why weren't you? Now, I750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry0FRHWgzm
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBukkcGmcwi
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T4HICXUTZ
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJbmdSqBk
"It happened so fast. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIyRQ4NqOM
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbATmwyEKe
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoU27TXxx9
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2rQLFLNGQ
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjTY0BqAb
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wGncPFY6O
to herself again750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w1TTckyyA
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WS8TD8jOr
The mighty hunter 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAyZ1lkWwF
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1hXYENgJq
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzy7KpPTdg
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZPleFIT6h
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT7gMgdnj8
Their respite didn't 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLIpzBqci
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuRQ0oDo0I
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWy4JB3Xob
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYgRcSNsCU
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc9NHT093C
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClJukTPjSq
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mMdCWghDc
that skill to actual good use.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTWVvPMe6o
Thankfully their walk 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC9S4z0VKR
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXSf20MCv9
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25QxHawoMX
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ePUPU1dh
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYHfLVotvX
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKxHZQ96eL
Gob motioned for them to750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XR4UuxlTd
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRsTrCIJVI
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQn3g2l7D7
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJgklZIivC
conveniently carried on his shoulder.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34FFVLjBCw
Fly boats were made out 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4VxKl61Ng
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqvRhmFa8o
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDnMnIAKIg
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegC1mBRsPn
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwPg9Vxen9
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1aIJ0tEdS
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuFyup1QvY
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFgubx1cyH
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwIxcsZzVa
or smiled. A frown.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQjYKtMTxe
He put the boat down on 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmelV6Szw
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREQrCk9Gea
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzduDNUig9S
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuccVDfQRwV
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX8DSBKOqP
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtiDXWxCgH
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVtnqXkvYI
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EsfofpdmD
making his wounds ache.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaeohKbdQu
Gob put the boat over 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G4dhiR6qo
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HIWj5AJIq
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd4xDWxJuX
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3yPAJ8H7B
the other. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfJJvvPj9
Gob handed David the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRQ3fSZCAp
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mCADaTqwu
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9s6GjDXim
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW63fUP0oo
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpAGRpXZOJ
believed this was definitely one of those fates.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFJVWNDx3w
All though David did 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIMiO26fn5
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLnu9ptiAN
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc3JmhTgEO
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3o3PsuKZ
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9he1ygU6r
by the sun.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMelEpnhWjB
They all disembarked, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudWKuGXqpF
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYhFSCnrVk
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T63F2kxSF
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MIfhwwKbR
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGg3qwVDfn
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJ61heoZ0
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bwVDdJYUO
"How do they manage to 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4F3ZkBVs7
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zvU3eylxI
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcpdcnTStt
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk741483bK
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVFpkJo2Ho
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ2tD01FDx
David nodded, the answer750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwulFinnu3I
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyt8lepLwv
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2fGzxMVti
One thing David noticed,750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VZHJIfiy4
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzEcaMT3Sq
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcrMenCbBD
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1N5wHf5Rz
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUKltCC03P
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtqqaNQaWu
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKXooYXQU
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLLRDtGGk4
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kTFrpSRfN
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YIosgBp5Y
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubzEeamDd4
It made him remember 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGMAbVApAn
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoCn5KOYm2
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafDzrJbuzF
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6lpMKIc3H
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtqF2wmhIl
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAvo9VWxgC
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EpjVp8IdX
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvA15ugwnF
while ago.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl3eJNxVhF
Just as previously they 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8E7YgTuEQ
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzppj4S3vt
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpF3LuXPf5
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjTBukT6r4
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRrVmSNPye
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOm3ueazkM
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4fra04ovf
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhMNyGsThC
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OInG3qOD3
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwucr5LptTq
David was apprehensive 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5GEN1lyWE
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6JK7JFyOo
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU66MRCW9kF
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhWf4tMU68
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3n8JOJjiU
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqjPTMrKE
Before they all turned 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGqHtdkAKy
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrNNzPPW6S
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgZtMyEUP4
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzGgFrvgg7
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uv9NynK7A
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yhk5m7C95
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbp1i7aiiN
Sadly the sweet dream 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhXCZ03InG
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKPkbJmmgY
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cwWZHgK2y
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01sBztw9lM
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K1GU7ofYY
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bcMoyVY2w
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuMP8cOZY7
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaPnyVG6AA
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhRIK01uY9
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwnKlQTpbd
David shook his head and750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJHAFl1HYT
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcWrEBhBGK
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo09OC4kx32
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus2d7KMf2c
too.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ920fGbvYk2
They spent the morning 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1AN41nkM4
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31hmPe6dVF
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEjaIT1Vvx
crowd. ~750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznUm7Ft2tP
After they were all done750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WriqfFe4S
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjObYnKJ6yM
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZaRSLRyDH
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdelCgwq0qk
Positivity all around.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uHxcmZYjV
Soon they reached the 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkSzbG2Lil
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEKfOnNtkd
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqmaBmsTde
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50HDWWn8q8
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlImpa83wBW
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFE2J4Kj1g
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOMFV3QhhJ
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L3Oe4DZWs
everyone won.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbJZxWRfNZ
Gob seemed to be pretty 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE7D47QU3Q
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkf43cTsCl
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvtbPniWXQ
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCtkaiYWgq
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CzLTecsq6
making her way behind David.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xNlEDW8e9
"Where's Lev?" Gob 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ExpcQF2M8
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6J58hBJQV
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrPzE3kAuk
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElTisVAGde
Reaching the middle 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkymLwxrpl
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDojeHvoy8R
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Xi9mkIZl
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrKFomvnBq
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb72qywtQOP
and quickly put a knife to his throat.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAPEPLOdHe
Before David could 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjGFCd4OdJ
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrcALtQv1T
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqrS1j6555
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxK4Gjyo5f
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBzgcFDJjY
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu4ZahtjWO
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01VdfjxdcZ
The captains facial 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44t0oJNVvB
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3QQkb0I5J
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG0pIRoetQ
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46A5g2ywCn
"Enough of this!" 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18mo6bhD9
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2vX20ES1b
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn2v0A3w7X
towards them.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZgX0gts25
David felt himself flung750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1B8y8gimq
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sV0JZcfaS
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAidO2z79ki
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPaVioW8uq
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0kYqWj2te
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC2ba54RHN
overwhelmed him.
