Ether possession. A 375Please respect copyright.PENANATPpAAD2dhv
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the375Please respect copyright.PENANABoi0KDQHxT
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 375Please respect copyright.PENANAV0qUloGtlL
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 375Please respect copyright.PENANAkRRQ6mbQYu
enough to classify a person as possessed.375Please respect copyright.PENANA16O9tyFewV
Many believe that mages 375Please respect copyright.PENANAzUTjMStUqx
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 375Please respect copyright.PENANAkithyuZNxR
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer375Please respect copyright.PENANAEktitJYykX
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 375Please respect copyright.PENANABG9IvqmgA6
tackle possessions.375Please respect copyright.PENANACloE3bSRvC
No, the peasants who 375Please respect copyright.PENANAr9IFLhUXiZ
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 375Please respect copyright.PENANAw3MkuzmZ3y
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 375Please respect copyright.PENANA4rvOb0Ay3i
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 375Please respect copyright.PENANA6FdvO3hrfa
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 375Please respect copyright.PENANAYyfLG7dzct
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA50nUc6yWZj
Having said that not 375Please respect copyright.PENANAek8dnrUh6n
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being375Please respect copyright.PENANAnSjkSegSNU
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlYjpJ907MU
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 375Please respect copyright.PENANAsKytwoH47r
their presence there being constant.375Please respect copyright.PENANAHqZ8Y30hEg
Second group that 375Please respect copyright.PENANAjKQMI1lBVq
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 375Please respect copyright.PENANAz2SUIvZysx
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 375Please respect copyright.PENANA0j2UjwO9G3
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 375Please respect copyright.PENANAWvH2UTNc79
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 375Please respect copyright.PENANAHU9NxiiU3H
forever.375Please respect copyright.PENANAW4cZsqijUj
Third group that 375Please respect copyright.PENANA7ArrcCb8Yh
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's375Please respect copyright.PENANAk8EYstcLyA
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose375Please respect copyright.PENANAOFvLZg1UCF
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlMFOwP2v9m
inconclusive. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlwvtJEXBFE
Something else to note 375Please respect copyright.PENANAeXFvn7lxB5
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to375Please respect copyright.PENANA6xA01LRjKx
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 375Please respect copyright.PENANAYYEIioVuT2
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 375Please respect copyright.PENANAFS3av5n3vq
world...375Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2xvYYe5io

375Please respect copyright.PENANAaLu6VCYGxL
Who would've thought 375Please respect copyright.PENANAvOC0p1lKtP
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdPdxyh8WZB
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 375Please respect copyright.PENANAnvWbjf4g1t
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 375Please respect copyright.PENANATX4CoMu7Yq
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 375Please respect copyright.PENANApIn1CNb29p
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 375Please respect copyright.PENANAHLDGYxcgkj
than the other.375Please respect copyright.PENANALVj0mGWuE3
Thankfully the walk 375Please respect copyright.PENANAzqEEE4cBdO
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 375Please respect copyright.PENANAkTl3F7YJYa
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlCmI6qIxIx
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a375Please respect copyright.PENANA2QXlqN9Q1l
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 375Please respect copyright.PENANAtPPI8Y1yd7
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the375Please respect copyright.PENANA30DUUK6KyF
pathway from any praying eyes.375Please respect copyright.PENANATcCNyJQiAS
As David entered the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAUfSLLjFiJf
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A375Please respect copyright.PENANAcslxn3Bq06
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.375Please respect copyright.PENANAbpG1YuAUrM
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 375Please respect copyright.PENANAUH6xQi0UlX
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdyZRWawXNi
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a375Please respect copyright.PENANARBwQtzSnny
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,375Please respect copyright.PENANAGrntOdLUNU
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 375Please respect copyright.PENANAW47WrmR1RI
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 375Please respect copyright.PENANAqlt5Cly2kP
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 375Please respect copyright.PENANACCKSgReyy0
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.375Please respect copyright.PENANABbnpzikKEo
"Get a move on. We need 375Please respect copyright.PENANAURw47iyTv2
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng375Please respect copyright.PENANAjUMFjQ52zy
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 375Please respect copyright.PENANAHCwLqGZyTs
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlCo2P2W9Na
and rushed to catch up.375Please respect copyright.PENANAeFLX9ICiVj
Gob led them down one of375Please respect copyright.PENANAtbUEkpWiWf
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 375Please respect copyright.PENANA6fMj4fcS0a
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAeMzyRmPa8Y
After a few more turns 375Please respect copyright.PENANAzODg3UUG7P
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 375Please respect copyright.PENANATFz0FaWuTY
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 375Please respect copyright.PENANAh1pYng7VLa
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAjq54uDrnac
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdNP74Hz0Gj
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.375Please respect copyright.PENANAvOrK4j1DYH
"So, what do you guys do375Please respect copyright.PENANAwZOQFdKFHb
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 375Please respect copyright.PENANAprKMGdedMp
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 375Please respect copyright.PENANAwsIOpLzVvh
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 375Please respect copyright.PENANAGwQJucYiqj
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 375Please respect copyright.PENANARWM37PO3LN
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 375Please respect copyright.PENANAMXhrlFwysP
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.375Please respect copyright.PENANAuDn7VljGHw
David even managed a 375Please respect copyright.PENANA2oH9aONOFT
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 375Please respect copyright.PENANAsS3RTEK59R
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 375Please respect copyright.PENANAXzYGpZ7KDg
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 375Please respect copyright.PENANAc55Rghk20W
headfirst into the ground.375Please respect copyright.PENANAntKPUrvp0Q
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.375Please respect copyright.PENANAw7FTWeGswN
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA2GGo3QLmnv
David entered the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAWbBRx5kwTi
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a375Please respect copyright.PENANAjWJ1DFq7kw
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 375Please respect copyright.PENANAxLmBvckH9b
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 375Please respect copyright.PENANAwwA4txf0j6
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.375Please respect copyright.PENANArM6y1EKCpZ
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.375Please respect copyright.PENANACsWhxm6tjp
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.375Please respect copyright.PENANAxP8xZVJTqV
"Perfect, leave us 375Please respect copyright.PENANAyg94hLvHjy
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 375Please respect copyright.PENANAgqposGHCYz
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.375Please respect copyright.PENANAlybW56g9EH
"Yes Gob?"375Please respect copyright.PENANAkGgXWBVqJN
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."375Please respect copyright.PENANAJiy9fz1QZX
The woman gave Gob a warm smile." I appreciate the concern, but I hardly see a point in killing me in the middle of our camp."375Please respect copyright.PENANABwrf9YfafS
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."375Please respect copyright.PENANAE3Wb6duCQY
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdW0PxricIp
Gob stilled at that but 375Please respect copyright.PENANAsgxze7OnPF
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.375Please respect copyright.PENANAU2U4ciL38j
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 375Please respect copyright.PENANAPqzAbLZuRv
gone.375Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ngDfnvfe
Francesca turned towards375Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ5Z3IRmAM
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 375Please respect copyright.PENANAD1H82i1lFD
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdoGLG3pCo4
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 375Please respect copyright.PENANAfUlWPrMqcg
side of the table.375Please respect copyright.PENANAYfEDKFLDoU
David nodded and moved 375Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1tPRU82NR
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 375Please respect copyright.PENANAfBLNGVx8SQ
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and375Please respect copyright.PENANA0cwJtVXnke
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 375Please respect copyright.PENANAmAgQ5wuPUe
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,375Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7TxajvqqH
"Who chose you?" The 375Please respect copyright.PENANA3GIrVbunlC
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 375Please respect copyright.PENANAy7SXQu5ums
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.375Please respect copyright.PENANAbxHNFfAM0W
"Excuse me?"375Please respect copyright.PENANAfbU2fCOHtV
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."375Please respect copyright.PENANAE9siJBX2zN
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"375Please respect copyright.PENANAnoOSG0MrLG
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 375Please respect copyright.PENANAsZKSEbm3sb
"We have been chosen by 375Please respect copyright.PENANA4lOSlgRtIC
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 375Please respect copyright.PENANAZSDiWZxHue
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 375Please respect copyright.PENANACkmVVgevz9
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"375Please respect copyright.PENANAI80GaOUAsA
David wanted to laugh at375Please respect copyright.PENANAo9PIBxwyZS
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after375Please respect copyright.PENANA8WsLTAplo9
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 375Please respect copyright.PENANA8fRUVBy8j1
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 375Please respect copyright.PENANAxZOfsDEsxi
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 375Please respect copyright.PENANA0jLuLlcKDB
feel anything else right now, though.375Please respect copyright.PENANAJuVLlyN9Ht
"Sorry, no idea." He 375Please respect copyright.PENANAfo65bBycVD
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other375Please respect copyright.PENANAsZfSruViDh
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."375Please respect copyright.PENANAo9Jvluni1c
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.375Please respect copyright.PENANAf21PFYbgob
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 375Please respect copyright.PENANA8TMstlA3MV
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"375Please respect copyright.PENANAD0uabUnSkX
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 375Please respect copyright.PENANAibI20NXdXp
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlLS57G5wjN
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 375Please respect copyright.PENANAgl49iA88oZ
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 375Please respect copyright.PENANA6g5WPzmbZ7
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.375Please respect copyright.PENANAtcgJUzHPN1
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 375Please respect copyright.PENANAYYDiGE4ur3
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 375Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Anw3MVIe
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."375Please respect copyright.PENANAFEYahXl8qB
David nodded, as if his 375Please respect copyright.PENANACb9IsH4msN
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 375Please respect copyright.PENANAyorDHE9aeX
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for375Please respect copyright.PENANAdmX8aFGdY8
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAeX0a2dQV0d
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.375Please respect copyright.PENANAgRGRUVacY2
She shook her head 375Please respect copyright.PENANAaxQE3JlsCe
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 375Please respect copyright.PENANA0zCXDrJVKW
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 375Please respect copyright.PENANA45QKWIrojG
you'd know more, but..."375Please respect copyright.PENANAxBzZ6NDy1e
"Sorry for not being more helpful."375Please respect copyright.PENANAg6ezmTePQc
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 375Please respect copyright.PENANAtOObF5zGoK
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 375Please respect copyright.PENANAaykLvgSYMm
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.375Please respect copyright.PENANAdvxax12jlz
David sensing an 375Please respect copyright.PENANAkEaZKum6mh
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 375Please respect copyright.PENANAGDlki3qmdW
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 375Please respect copyright.PENANAocxbfxPfSZ
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 375Please respect copyright.PENANAUIeiHrgvf3
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 375Please respect copyright.PENANAP2ymg6itX8
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.375Please respect copyright.PENANAsqdYis9S3Y
Francesca looked up to 375Please respect copyright.PENANAzDlf7FR7Co
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 375Please respect copyright.PENANAnUNCHgQmkN
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 375Please respect copyright.PENANA97tFcuECE7
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 375Please respect copyright.PENANAq0oqawacAL
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 375Please respect copyright.PENANAZUTS40Pkq6
you traveled all over Astaria"375Please respect copyright.PENANAMOOFXOPeYZ
"Traveling the isles 375Please respect copyright.PENANArAzTjRHTFb
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 375Please respect copyright.PENANADrgasNXekr
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.375Please respect copyright.PENANAVXRHXORw6B
"You jest." She shook 375Please respect copyright.PENANARYtnqsP73S
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 375Please respect copyright.PENANAVa1BNTKLaa
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"375Please respect copyright.PENANAcTx8QM3aoR
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."375Please respect copyright.PENANA3MzAFgR8bG
"My condolences for your375Please respect copyright.PENANAxgbggN8Idt
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 375Please respect copyright.PENANATKmk1fX9ea
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."375Please respect copyright.PENANApSrThaKAMr
David nodded and looked 375Please respect copyright.PENANAFHeUfjr8Gc
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were375Please respect copyright.PENANAXgrAVDozsh
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAm6yjABbEzr
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 375Please respect copyright.PENANARPbD3Y7W4O
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 375Please respect copyright.PENANAXYEF5sTRwy
could not see the good in a person then who could?375Please respect copyright.PENANAGS49QWsJs8
"Gob believes you are 375Please respect copyright.PENANAxqOUCPC9m0
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 375Please respect copyright.PENANAMwiO5bS4wn
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlp7akPN0Pn
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least375Please respect copyright.PENANAH6bKa5DS6d
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdUXpLoJAVy
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 375Please respect copyright.PENANA1PH2k8a5XL
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 375Please respect copyright.PENANA0PuP0JmoYG
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."375Please respect copyright.PENANAj0DolXcERN
David shuddered at the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAqiIwvHjCSf
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 375Please respect copyright.PENANAroTkzSLJuK
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 375Please respect copyright.PENANAuSnPm4t6S7
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 375Please respect copyright.PENANAWlobk0phIT
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 375Please respect copyright.PENANA7T6vnuZvWf
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 375Please respect copyright.PENANAIzv2G5rjJA
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 375Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Zfi8v1H3
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 375Please respect copyright.PENANAMezCSBHiJx
so.375Please respect copyright.PENANADE71ispFPw
Francesca giggled and 375Please respect copyright.PENANAB5JBx9ENMP
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you375Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tcz9SqWht
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 375Please respect copyright.PENANABJOal6C54f
bath as well"375Please respect copyright.PENANAZzkjMFX2dQ
David gave a fake laugh,375Please respect copyright.PENANAsIXy4X3G4V
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 375Please respect copyright.PENANAD2iegJ9n9l
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 375Please respect copyright.PENANAQN3zLe7nXm
appreciate it, my lady."375Please respect copyright.PENANA9HM3bJ1xam
"None of that, it's Francesca."375Please respect copyright.PENANAfVCIDKP7u0
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."375Please respect copyright.PENANAO1HmGyxMBM
Francesca nodded and 375Please respect copyright.PENANA6WP35xzI0o
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAW6Cj2uIvgX
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 375Please respect copyright.PENANAIkTrmLZzLl
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 375Please respect copyright.PENANA0u6LYDu0Lu
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 375Please respect copyright.PENANAv7slLBNHvm
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 375Please respect copyright.PENANAlTQcdrPPzI
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.375Please respect copyright.PENANANlDAJvkmZC
Rubbing his wrists to 375Please respect copyright.PENANAvetbe5czZ1
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 375Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q0igdKCAA
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 375Please respect copyright.PENANAkq2qPWImRn
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 375Please respect copyright.PENANAUlKBk7w3eE
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 375Please respect copyright.PENANAQCdTLbdedr
to her.375Please respect copyright.PENANAN4B5xHH6tu
~don't trust her, don't 375Please respect copyright.PENANAyyOFO6ERn0
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that375Please respect copyright.PENANAUkWcGyzZLU
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 375Please respect copyright.PENANA6CDP6bI8P8
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 375Please respect copyright.PENANAuzAC6fpawT
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 375Please respect copyright.PENANAru7aQ8h3H7
betray him first if he doesn't.375Please respect copyright.PENANAoVzKWqGQjX
His new home didn't seem375Please respect copyright.PENANAhawcdMhXhT
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.375Please respect copyright.PENANAa2qgY7JFbD
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAyFPJZsPlke
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 375Please respect copyright.PENANA6nKJx8Z3Xu
starts gathering around the pots." 375Please respect copyright.PENANAkmCB1KHG7j
David just nodded at 375Please respect copyright.PENANAvoRzkjuXSP
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 375Please respect copyright.PENANAuGVen89Ael
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 375Please respect copyright.PENANAnilfeLLSeN
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 375Please respect copyright.PENANAM5SAmRjPmF
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.375Please respect copyright.PENANAHQNv37J54Z
He looked around and 375Please respect copyright.PENANARK2JgEWsgU
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 375Please respect copyright.PENANA0tho9b1iKo
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially375Please respect copyright.PENANAaMGdOW2sza
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 375Please respect copyright.PENANAYnG0ZXVeaQ
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 375Please respect copyright.PENANAreZcaHYvBN
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.375Please respect copyright.PENANANRcPuiVjoY
As he laid down further 375Please respect copyright.PENANAsrn8HNJ2un
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 375Please respect copyright.PENANAFaZLbWb6oW
