Ether possession. A 362Please respect copyright.PENANAGhnfz0EAhH
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the362Please respect copyright.PENANA4UuXRnukqZ
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 362Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZVJeWqA2m
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 362Please respect copyright.PENANAYUKPxUHira
enough to classify a person as possessed.362Please respect copyright.PENANAK15v4Ozaor
Many believe that mages 362Please respect copyright.PENANAmPj7tWPv9E
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 362Please respect copyright.PENANAm48FDvqsfw
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer362Please respect copyright.PENANAEqg0npJIGf
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 362Please respect copyright.PENANAHWKxaEl5sJ
tackle possessions.362Please respect copyright.PENANAThhac1UaDb
No, the peasants who 362Please respect copyright.PENANAPoe1kyXh1O
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 362Please respect copyright.PENANAJScNjYce4X
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 362Please respect copyright.PENANAMTybj7N0Jd
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 362Please respect copyright.PENANAjHSroNWjuj
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 362Please respect copyright.PENANAT0WLqmna0W
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 362Please respect copyright.PENANA6dRlunNDnN
Having said that not 362Please respect copyright.PENANAujuZXMYCIh
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being362Please respect copyright.PENANAnSaCJ3qpSQ
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 362Please respect copyright.PENANAiCRGetL8eS
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 362Please respect copyright.PENANAOCeUMgl6g8
their presence there being constant.362Please respect copyright.PENANAz0C6HVQBdE
Second group that 362Please respect copyright.PENANAza97UJpuTO
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 362Please respect copyright.PENANA5UxGKjxI6H
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 362Please respect copyright.PENANA37SjkCObJa
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 362Please respect copyright.PENANAXznvcuZiDq
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 362Please respect copyright.PENANAulkMwZJvTb
forever.362Please respect copyright.PENANAjnl1zpwtJk
Third group that 362Please respect copyright.PENANAew5jYbCDiW
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's362Please respect copyright.PENANAN0KCEVXvRf
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose362Please respect copyright.PENANApRHdZQv0GZ
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 362Please respect copyright.PENANAHJgFmtTMYX
inconclusive. 362Please respect copyright.PENANAB2VWyQi6Qy
Something else to note 362Please respect copyright.PENANAcO7YgEdSOY
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to362Please respect copyright.PENANAt9iX8trn4i
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 362Please respect copyright.PENANAoufbUU2b9S
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 362Please respect copyright.PENANAiOq79fzdc5
world...362Please respect copyright.PENANAPK6Kzgig4n

362Please respect copyright.PENANASmOWrCU6Fq
Who would've thought 362Please respect copyright.PENANAywYaqdjzmW
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 362Please respect copyright.PENANA1hiJSAbOkS
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 362Please respect copyright.PENANAUnYMPHodL3
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 362Please respect copyright.PENANAfLk6FQEJp0
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 362Please respect copyright.PENANALIBtfOhyl7
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 362Please respect copyright.PENANAHjGa7K3YPJ
than the other.362Please respect copyright.PENANAMrNtQp7c6P
Thankfully the walk 362Please respect copyright.PENANAqaUiJFUuKb
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 362Please respect copyright.PENANAK6yVNFQtgk
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 362Please respect copyright.PENANAHWuBHhMsSI
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a362Please respect copyright.PENANABmIplrI9UU
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 362Please respect copyright.PENANA8cw0HYkaG7
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the362Please respect copyright.PENANAfcIDpcH5OQ
pathway from any praying eyes.362Please respect copyright.PENANAiXDG2GETAQ
As David entered the 362Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ4MHDTZoK
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A362Please respect copyright.PENANAbZbcf4W4qT
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.362Please respect copyright.PENANAJOAREgLMQo
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 362Please respect copyright.PENANAKyxsFoz1fC
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 362Please respect copyright.PENANApzJdk8AL1G
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a362Please respect copyright.PENANAWeNmUpXHg0
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,362Please respect copyright.PENANACDk69pBnjM
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 362Please respect copyright.PENANAdG91HJJTvI
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 362Please respect copyright.PENANArXEOwqnA46
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 362Please respect copyright.PENANAsy3PM09cS3
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.362Please respect copyright.PENANA6H6hVdYJmS
"Get a move on. We need 362Please respect copyright.PENANAJkXqWUeTQE
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng362Please respect copyright.PENANAaXFESYeMdR
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 362Please respect copyright.PENANAqinPsJXSin
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 362Please respect copyright.PENANAGnIJmrokiz
and rushed to catch up.362Please respect copyright.PENANA4zqU9ziDJ4
Gob led them down one of362Please respect copyright.PENANAo4Uood7c4n
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 362Please respect copyright.PENANATl82KAk1b5
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 362Please respect copyright.PENANADFwOvHgUqq
After a few more turns 362Please respect copyright.PENANA45PSubi89D
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 362Please respect copyright.PENANA6owAziAN3V
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 362Please respect copyright.PENANA0k8OsFPEpF
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 362Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lo3fTHRo3
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 362Please respect copyright.PENANAupdv0X47u6
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.362Please respect copyright.PENANAktydyJnw1o
"So, what do you guys do362Please respect copyright.PENANA08HJDek7H0
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 362Please respect copyright.PENANAHJeeA0QMq4
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 362Please respect copyright.PENANAgab7jc7qVU
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 362Please respect copyright.PENANAJfxPncyqti
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 362Please respect copyright.PENANAGzTwjWTnwE
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 362Please respect copyright.PENANAIyu89cVO0m
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.362Please respect copyright.PENANACD2QyxnniE
David even managed a 362Please respect copyright.PENANA43MaMNuC82
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 362Please respect copyright.PENANAuTz8m07bUp
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 362Please respect copyright.PENANAhFKnGn9lY4
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 362Please respect copyright.PENANAdCeugGBc9O
headfirst into the ground.362Please respect copyright.PENANAv7NQIUi8kw
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.362Please respect copyright.PENANA8zRqHmo2Ds
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 362Please respect copyright.PENANAc7OHDP459E
David entered the 362Please respect copyright.PENANA9bvcG4eoMY
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a362Please respect copyright.PENANAXwalWBPu8l
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 362Please respect copyright.PENANAYyae0AWdIM
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 362Please respect copyright.PENANAyVshM5Mxba
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.362Please respect copyright.PENANAsJuRS4OV7F
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.362Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZAxD7X1qN
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.362Please respect copyright.PENANAPrQB5bTdbA
"Perfect, leave us 362Please respect copyright.PENANApoaiyjKz4B
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 362Please respect copyright.PENANA6qXM1HRc2j
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.362Please respect copyright.PENANAtUhUj3JTAX
"Yes Gob?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAcZOxnzlioP
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."362Please respect copyright.PENANAQXf70qyYJQ
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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAmfinCWq1wh
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."362Please respect copyright.PENANAKiMx5Z3AIm
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 362Please respect copyright.PENANAjwlznWmvnh
Gob stilled at that but 362Please respect copyright.PENANAFXZaXqtUM3
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.362Please respect copyright.PENANAWGu6mB25YQ
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 362Please respect copyright.PENANA0E9jYYZv9z
gone.362Please respect copyright.PENANAHmPEn8ndF0
Francesca turned towards362Please respect copyright.PENANArkzkSrv9Dd
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 362Please respect copyright.PENANAxp5Wz2B5tw
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 362Please respect copyright.PENANAUS6vPxPEWJ
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 362Please respect copyright.PENANA08UcICZUpS
side of the table.362Please respect copyright.PENANArOuWSUQIwM
David nodded and moved 362Please respect copyright.PENANAhYz3dIaMAb
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 362Please respect copyright.PENANAmfMwZH29SO
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and362Please respect copyright.PENANAUfLbls30cP
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 362Please respect copyright.PENANAVDra684Pc0
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,362Please respect copyright.PENANAXOWzIedaZG
"Who chose you?" The 362Please respect copyright.PENANAzhB2883Ns2
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 362Please respect copyright.PENANAhpTQ200Sj6
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.362Please respect copyright.PENANA4eYGYmmWrC
"Excuse me?"362Please respect copyright.PENANA893apsmw1k
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."362Please respect copyright.PENANAzS89bde1tZ
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAjix1owUhy9
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 362Please respect copyright.PENANAvfJBnSopez
"We have been chosen by 362Please respect copyright.PENANACRUSQ2syzm
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 362Please respect copyright.PENANANTlUqv8ONE
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 362Please respect copyright.PENANAJqhlXSDEbO
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAcYGczKMYVj
David wanted to laugh at362Please respect copyright.PENANAnhUlfBS259
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after362Please respect copyright.PENANAVD3OtGBiu5
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 362Please respect copyright.PENANAllUgdpgx1J
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 362Please respect copyright.PENANAUcy8N5ZWiD
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 362Please respect copyright.PENANA5lSrPzLNGN
feel anything else right now, though.362Please respect copyright.PENANA4X46SwC4Im
"Sorry, no idea." He 362Please respect copyright.PENANAZrkASlm2yn
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other362Please respect copyright.PENANAXfylO8QtnJ
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."362Please respect copyright.PENANAbnL8LaO6g8
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.362Please respect copyright.PENANAxPXVlyNOuE
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 362Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6anrvY0V8
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAkjjgA1tK88
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 362Please respect copyright.PENANAAQQA7I114l
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 362Please respect copyright.PENANAkicszqlXVz
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 362Please respect copyright.PENANAreYuPvE5ql
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 362Please respect copyright.PENANANzkczwjW39
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.362Please respect copyright.PENANAzdnnsbanIg
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 362Please respect copyright.PENANAL5i9GrIafc
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 362Please respect copyright.PENANAjVzbRv3ReG
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."362Please respect copyright.PENANA1wgLJ6ilL7
David nodded, as if his 362Please respect copyright.PENANAgdTTKnP6sV
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 362Please respect copyright.PENANAhAJbkXGf5E
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for362Please respect copyright.PENANAAXtWwo45ef
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 362Please respect copyright.PENANAIg73gKlwdg
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.362Please respect copyright.PENANAHpONTvDGjj
She shook her head 362Please respect copyright.PENANA6b0O99F8kH
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 362Please respect copyright.PENANAGgb5McIJOy
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 362Please respect copyright.PENANAUbRsmpIpSe
you'd know more, but..."362Please respect copyright.PENANADqgIi6u24L
"Sorry for not being more helpful."362Please respect copyright.PENANAx0YDQg6F9I
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 362Please respect copyright.PENANAaXW3BgAwI9
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 362Please respect copyright.PENANAgOJ9tEoWtS
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.362Please respect copyright.PENANAIhml1bllYp
David sensing an 362Please respect copyright.PENANAxRFuJ7jg4X
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 362Please respect copyright.PENANATUdhyYNqkF
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 362Please respect copyright.PENANAqotRlKppdq
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 362Please respect copyright.PENANA2choLPs1Q2
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 362Please respect copyright.PENANA0yCl84OAHj
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.362Please respect copyright.PENANAn4dU8Ag4MG
Francesca looked up to 362Please respect copyright.PENANATfW0i9OWDV
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 362Please respect copyright.PENANA9QEs6lDAN2
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 362Please respect copyright.PENANA4kXMPR2hBZ
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 362Please respect copyright.PENANA3QFpEKRhtX
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 362Please respect copyright.PENANAuzSsvVZUz2
you traveled all over Astaria"362Please respect copyright.PENANAfqTNYIPVKo
"Traveling the isles 362Please respect copyright.PENANAX51zVoErE2
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 362Please respect copyright.PENANAlQHh1N7Yap
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.362Please respect copyright.PENANASLAvAQl27o
"You jest." She shook 362Please respect copyright.PENANAaszXLKCifr
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 362Please respect copyright.PENANAVETlLcHz0O
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAvHOKO5KlFd
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."362Please respect copyright.PENANAZyG9cOzQpA
"My condolences for your362Please respect copyright.PENANAOLzLhjTLU2
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 362Please respect copyright.PENANAsSpDCSxvX3
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."362Please respect copyright.PENANAKBLzcfGosi
David nodded and looked 362Please respect copyright.PENANAdbyBLdiNi0
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were362Please respect copyright.PENANAAfImjhLaDn
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 362Please respect copyright.PENANAAwZ1ZwQCh2
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 362Please respect copyright.PENANAzz2nGyhz5f
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 362Please respect copyright.PENANAdEtlDlgsFH
could not see the good in a person then who could?362Please respect copyright.PENANAQsTwb1mze9
"Gob believes you are 362Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ull9qVKq
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 362Please respect copyright.PENANAUBvYkjsNeM
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 362Please respect copyright.PENANAlBq06yS0SI
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least362Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ1OnHkRIY
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 362Please respect copyright.PENANAznxwiLTe9h
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 362Please respect copyright.PENANAPN4BaTwTRg
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 362Please respect copyright.PENANAGXqW9zdzOe
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."362Please respect copyright.PENANAItBHvjFLr5
David shuddered at the 362Please respect copyright.PENANAw3oJKHsKlM
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 362Please respect copyright.PENANAxubKw1IuvQ
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 362Please respect copyright.PENANAmFV46hE9EG
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 362Please respect copyright.PENANA1re8hUhRRq
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 362Please respect copyright.PENANAj8jHGMq4o3
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 362Please respect copyright.PENANAR2qXg0EuCC
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 362Please respect copyright.PENANAwKJSFVYdCI
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 362Please respect copyright.PENANAKfD6B0r0vQ
so.362Please respect copyright.PENANA8qxZ45Rn4K
Francesca giggled and 362Please respect copyright.PENANAdCLHjH4pEO
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you362Please respect copyright.PENANAHyyswJKiDt
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 362Please respect copyright.PENANA3ceZzDlGXI
bath as well"362Please respect copyright.PENANAnUykbjefNI
David gave a fake laugh,362Please respect copyright.PENANA1G5kPjK7KZ
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 362Please respect copyright.PENANATlvINtuPms
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 362Please respect copyright.PENANArGT9PmjtGr
appreciate it, my lady."362Please respect copyright.PENANAsAqmqLIfCN
"None of that, it's Francesca."362Please respect copyright.PENANAWofmSb7R3T
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."362Please respect copyright.PENANAeFCRSIVzpw
Francesca nodded and 362Please respect copyright.PENANAqZuhKy2rKu
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 362Please respect copyright.PENANAeHWDObKgw4
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 362Please respect copyright.PENANAojzEoC2jMI
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 362Please respect copyright.PENANAQSredo0B2I
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 362Please respect copyright.PENANAvc1QlqBv7D
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 362Please respect copyright.PENANAE9G7yRZ6AC
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.362Please respect copyright.PENANAYxcqYfbTnr
Rubbing his wrists to 362Please respect copyright.PENANAH6zcIIDTeD
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 362Please respect copyright.PENANA06ssHIIxDS
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 362Please respect copyright.PENANA7X9qUw0ngl
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 362Please respect copyright.PENANASsVila4JKl
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 362Please respect copyright.PENANATxtqaOB7sU
to her.362Please respect copyright.PENANAoLjKn2ecnN
~don't trust her, don't 362Please respect copyright.PENANAO7AzdIggXe
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that362Please respect copyright.PENANAXNvVBKu1kt
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 362Please respect copyright.PENANA52vnS8wZLw
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 362Please respect copyright.PENANAHVV4TmDbqk
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 362Please respect copyright.PENANAHsS0Y0wfaA
betray him first if he doesn't.362Please respect copyright.PENANAkSyNbSNa7Q
His new home didn't seem362Please respect copyright.PENANA5RGzn678AW
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.362Please respect copyright.PENANAjCZl1B8du4
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 362Please respect copyright.PENANAYBvaS3LShd
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 362Please respect copyright.PENANAgGJGjeg5k3
starts gathering around the pots." 362Please respect copyright.PENANApKFvzPlCjm
David just nodded at 362Please respect copyright.PENANAJuqbuBrQCf
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 362Please respect copyright.PENANAZNjYL5MFAr
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 362Please respect copyright.PENANAsaaEfuevxM
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 362Please respect copyright.PENANA7B6j9MdVCH
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.362Please respect copyright.PENANAkBseoT7e2N
He looked around and 362Please respect copyright.PENANAWAyjkL90Cc
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 362Please respect copyright.PENANAPsOzKG0ags
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially362Please respect copyright.PENANAIicLS9skBV
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 362Please respect copyright.PENANAy2WmlpmkLR
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 362Please respect copyright.PENANAl88xRtZqyj
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.362Please respect copyright.PENANA5suj1LeKrA
As he laid down further 362Please respect copyright.PENANAGE0AfupioH
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 362Please respect copyright.PENANAMAywvTTSld
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 362Please respect copyright.PENANAtXAJQjZHBq
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some362Please respect copyright.PENANAeL0Kp3BEil
coins as well and decided to rummage his pockets for them, sadly he 362Please respect copyright.PENANAXxwoZuI2bQ
