Ether possession. A 368Please respect copyright.PENANAAS4zlK7RHf
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the368Please respect copyright.PENANAOPVMB8gAZ7
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 368Please respect copyright.PENANA4x7HWkKwia
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 368Please respect copyright.PENANAncnVyYPYgw
enough to classify a person as possessed.368Please respect copyright.PENANAezFgdVDnwq
Many believe that mages 368Please respect copyright.PENANA9byvzgj5qe
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 368Please respect copyright.PENANAtJBX8uo0xd
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer368Please respect copyright.PENANA2yZ4OgwZci
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 368Please respect copyright.PENANADooxMAq7qj
tackle possessions.368Please respect copyright.PENANAydyCBB5d7S
No, the peasants who 368Please respect copyright.PENANAgPkwxaJhDl
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 368Please respect copyright.PENANATOWzHJOJRJ
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 368Please respect copyright.PENANAtsuz24UPjF
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 368Please respect copyright.PENANAKuIWQhIFUG
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 368Please respect copyright.PENANACljVE1lboS
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 368Please respect copyright.PENANAxTrYFfLzRS
Having said that not 368Please respect copyright.PENANA2GifygjXss
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being368Please respect copyright.PENANAz7aA35Ww60
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 368Please respect copyright.PENANAVNitXLQuoX
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 368Please respect copyright.PENANAMZW6hTuPo5
their presence there being constant.368Please respect copyright.PENANAS7VncXqhF1
Second group that 368Please respect copyright.PENANAn6zPJX77PE
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 368Please respect copyright.PENANAEr9sSGxNz7
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 368Please respect copyright.PENANABamyPVCKQK
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 368Please respect copyright.PENANA19uVFfodYj
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 368Please respect copyright.PENANAACyOKXgk9Z
forever.368Please respect copyright.PENANATPpQhCd35A
Third group that 368Please respect copyright.PENANA1guO0S4RbG
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's368Please respect copyright.PENANAlrE6UvJKQ9
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose368Please respect copyright.PENANAal6w7R0VDo
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 368Please respect copyright.PENANAkQbCQQj0ka
inconclusive. 368Please respect copyright.PENANAGpPjUlyTgY
Something else to note 368Please respect copyright.PENANAQy5AIS6es7
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to368Please respect copyright.PENANAr4XoHW9QYJ
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 368Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1h4LaXfH0
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 368Please respect copyright.PENANA7pI7C8wcS6
world...368Please respect copyright.PENANAsyG6uyUn7Q

368Please respect copyright.PENANA4m1vOI0sDa
Who would've thought 368Please respect copyright.PENANACWK25uTd5w
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAjdy6IlaLgp
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 368Please respect copyright.PENANAyAImiEfUqV
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 368Please respect copyright.PENANAh5W3wkivFO
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 368Please respect copyright.PENANAHepVsBa3oz
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 368Please respect copyright.PENANAvfcETaws3G
than the other.368Please respect copyright.PENANAg6M8BF4yAD
Thankfully the walk 368Please respect copyright.PENANAYpq0lSJZ06
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 368Please respect copyright.PENANAsbLU9HBmqu
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 368Please respect copyright.PENANAaUCka19CM4
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a368Please respect copyright.PENANAmSllxwrY4O
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 368Please respect copyright.PENANAOfbHhCJlJu
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the368Please respect copyright.PENANAGVsx0L5QnQ
pathway from any praying eyes.368Please respect copyright.PENANAEqa2bBv2DZ
As David entered the 368Please respect copyright.PENANA4JnjX57Rwh
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A368Please respect copyright.PENANA7PYbNPGRv8
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.368Please respect copyright.PENANAal10i8f0nJ
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 368Please respect copyright.PENANAjuwpFn8fPu
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAIUYuU3NhVD
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a368Please respect copyright.PENANAi1P1uZt2vF
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,368Please respect copyright.PENANAIIeNSp1e0Y
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 368Please respect copyright.PENANARbKUOYcbQM
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 368Please respect copyright.PENANAWLPwkfSWwx
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 368Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ3BgR2GRX
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.368Please respect copyright.PENANAyPOrg8lMqs
"Get a move on. We need 368Please respect copyright.PENANAVcJ5lCQazZ
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng368Please respect copyright.PENANAW5CwIgggUR
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 368Please respect copyright.PENANAobLxQblGDt
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 368Please respect copyright.PENANAuChXHBpOoU
and rushed to catch up.368Please respect copyright.PENANAk614YVzhAo
Gob led them down one of368Please respect copyright.PENANAvTjQaLArWI
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 368Please respect copyright.PENANAhiJzIxeY25
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 368Please respect copyright.PENANAK49TmJ1FeF
After a few more turns 368Please respect copyright.PENANAGgAFZU9PX9
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 368Please respect copyright.PENANAEf5JoGrjTN
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 368Please respect copyright.PENANAwAtsngFsxU
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAmyb9CwolVg
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 368Please respect copyright.PENANAvDbsNIUmfD
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.368Please respect copyright.PENANAUYgI38vyaR
"So, what do you guys do368Please respect copyright.PENANACNOh5B495P
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 368Please respect copyright.PENANAyptWWVd7hh
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 368Please respect copyright.PENANA5B2sRDq0eJ
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 368Please respect copyright.PENANAe7qSHujw9a
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 368Please respect copyright.PENANApW5vUr571y
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 368Please respect copyright.PENANA36EFhUSpde
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.368Please respect copyright.PENANAyPVSvpWqQ6
David even managed a 368Please respect copyright.PENANAeGIyeKk1Dh
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 368Please respect copyright.PENANAYPMyeBR8So
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 368Please respect copyright.PENANAerCzn5I5wS
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 368Please respect copyright.PENANAVrlJGHOWrg
headfirst into the ground.368Please respect copyright.PENANAixdeoqE2hi
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.368Please respect copyright.PENANA3ccrrgWtvT
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 368Please respect copyright.PENANAFpZiaWclxv
David entered the 368Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cl9RmncnX
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a368Please respect copyright.PENANArHrxQHD5Z1
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 368Please respect copyright.PENANAjHnlrLgoaT
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 368Please respect copyright.PENANASAxjsy2xKL
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.368Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ0wvJlXzx
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.368Please respect copyright.PENANAlLFHmJKnoG
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.368Please respect copyright.PENANAuD0U2vEyIF
"Perfect, leave us 368Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ekQ4euAr
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 368Please respect copyright.PENANAfaENGncQRo
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.368Please respect copyright.PENANAF7qdSQBKKB
"Yes Gob?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAdAlXiDDMoU
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."368Please respect copyright.PENANAPhluSAStxx
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."368Please respect copyright.PENANAx0cGkg6HUh
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."368Please respect copyright.PENANA34DwEAifS9
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 368Please respect copyright.PENANAKUq28C9La5
Gob stilled at that but 368Please respect copyright.PENANALPZYY9CQ15
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.368Please respect copyright.PENANASGXCeMZcit
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 368Please respect copyright.PENANAkJGmDLkRUf
gone.368Please respect copyright.PENANAe1N0Insal4
Francesca turned towards368Please respect copyright.PENANAqH6hFD9vau
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 368Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Fq0WS8Mz
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 368Please respect copyright.PENANAFZUrkOlzqt
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 368Please respect copyright.PENANAb4oFIzF2a5
side of the table.368Please respect copyright.PENANAMwAfg4i7i1
David nodded and moved 368Please respect copyright.PENANAGmSq9NvZYK
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 368Please respect copyright.PENANASUq9iQMseo
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and368Please respect copyright.PENANAYUdVtMHwrR
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 368Please respect copyright.PENANApaqOxdfASh
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,368Please respect copyright.PENANABZZvzPL7LX
"Who chose you?" The 368Please respect copyright.PENANACzIapiitgz
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 368Please respect copyright.PENANAAlFtLeFE07
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.368Please respect copyright.PENANA8qLkJXTKpz
"Excuse me?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAvTDOhcdDgl
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."368Please respect copyright.PENANAl1USBE0i30
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAv4m6Lz23Tl
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 368Please respect copyright.PENANAJmt49ypx0V
"We have been chosen by 368Please respect copyright.PENANAma56oUmGOt
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 368Please respect copyright.PENANAxgmylfeyA6
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 368Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ed1r5mYgw
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAgSRMfEnSfk
David wanted to laugh at368Please respect copyright.PENANArd1Eb6dWlU
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after368Please respect copyright.PENANAajPpwN4pbM
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 368Please respect copyright.PENANABVBY4LMxfO
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 368Please respect copyright.PENANABZr9v8933f
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 368Please respect copyright.PENANA9cmkewukOe
feel anything else right now, though.368Please respect copyright.PENANAyhETAklDDY
"Sorry, no idea." He 368Please respect copyright.PENANAHS6otwL0cv
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other368Please respect copyright.PENANAxRAp0wmKxO
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."368Please respect copyright.PENANAz85Gnd4eQ9
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.368Please respect copyright.PENANArEJDLPCXgb
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 368Please respect copyright.PENANASlGJCmJGVN
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAWWYALceLi5
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 368Please respect copyright.PENANAFHetBex2lj
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 368Please respect copyright.PENANApTHuUgULGo
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 368Please respect copyright.PENANAg9fN9fYGns
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAbe6QZhXC5C
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.368Please respect copyright.PENANAmQzjrgVbCs
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 368Please respect copyright.PENANAc5lgmwB5qV
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 368Please respect copyright.PENANA6hJ5AERWdU
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."368Please respect copyright.PENANAThntSLBDx1
David nodded, as if his 368Please respect copyright.PENANA6RBd5eCJ3B
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 368Please respect copyright.PENANAInx2yiEWdL
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for368Please respect copyright.PENANAAuT9WtNw8d
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 368Please respect copyright.PENANA2rql9Tyiyt
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.368Please respect copyright.PENANAWrtkdOIFBg
She shook her head 368Please respect copyright.PENANAG5NHRTwz0S
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 368Please respect copyright.PENANAraWPMR7xNW
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 368Please respect copyright.PENANAWoXbLzCTjW
you'd know more, but..."368Please respect copyright.PENANAj6AAYSJIC4
"Sorry for not being more helpful."368Please respect copyright.PENANAcjGY7AOP9r
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 368Please respect copyright.PENANAqanYknzWiY
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 368Please respect copyright.PENANAHEk5U1ojGC
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.368Please respect copyright.PENANANWsu8QDe42
David sensing an 368Please respect copyright.PENANAcLGK5N5bb3
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 368Please respect copyright.PENANAKydJ75UXFz
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 368Please respect copyright.PENANAe90cCy1Vax
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 368Please respect copyright.PENANAKyWGuecZFj
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 368Please respect copyright.PENANAItbMulx5XB
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.368Please respect copyright.PENANAMW4smjR9xk
Francesca looked up to 368Please respect copyright.PENANAeOXW0vectj
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 368Please respect copyright.PENANAelQQ8ihcQk
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 368Please respect copyright.PENANAWkh8BRlSHp
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 368Please respect copyright.PENANAuBzkKzUmqB
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 368Please respect copyright.PENANA41PEyLQhWm
you traveled all over Astaria"368Please respect copyright.PENANAa3RKVvllP9
"Traveling the isles 368Please respect copyright.PENANAW38Hbrggab
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 368Please respect copyright.PENANAqNlOIdifgq
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.368Please respect copyright.PENANAuaYaqNMjBu
"You jest." She shook 368Please respect copyright.PENANAQv8iUiPH5u
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 368Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z6xlgwEEg
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"368Please respect copyright.PENANA4uq8RySpjl
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."368Please respect copyright.PENANAPUZb1NhJ7n
"My condolences for your368Please respect copyright.PENANAwSzIrjBhVz
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 368Please respect copyright.PENANAtgRQvPsDGq
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."368Please respect copyright.PENANADVaJbcL36I
David nodded and looked 368Please respect copyright.PENANAXhrsg5Soyv
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were368Please respect copyright.PENANAnSpnYeguac
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAjpstqYyG9t
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 368Please respect copyright.PENANAuGvwHUjaJq
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 368Please respect copyright.PENANA5UuxUOC0oS
could not see the good in a person then who could?368Please respect copyright.PENANAT4AHE0lD2z
"Gob believes you are 368Please respect copyright.PENANAki5w3CutxB
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 368Please respect copyright.PENANALTQQ3UIIem
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 368Please respect copyright.PENANAICmkkM0mLA
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least368Please respect copyright.PENANAUP2ucyVPS0
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 368Please respect copyright.PENANA79qEQnLaSS
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 368Please respect copyright.PENANA5n7RH2RYj9
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 368Please respect copyright.PENANA9fwaa035oi
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."368Please respect copyright.PENANAQyTI0nGJAC
David shuddered at the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAGuO0ddTpvy
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 368Please respect copyright.PENANAUEakBZZRjW
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 368Please respect copyright.PENANASlIH5qHXeb
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 368Please respect copyright.PENANALB2ctbaKdI
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 368Please respect copyright.PENANAT4LOePPD5c
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 368Please respect copyright.PENANAHWYlbHhJZ5
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 368Please respect copyright.PENANAveR6jF0AGW
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 368Please respect copyright.PENANArl4KcInUhs
so.368Please respect copyright.PENANASYmtC4vhfb
Francesca giggled and 368Please respect copyright.PENANAUJWRHpf8Rj
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you368Please respect copyright.PENANAz0UOldy62e
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 368Please respect copyright.PENANAkOWj485okS
bath as well"368Please respect copyright.PENANA8VE70DdeYn
David gave a fake laugh,368Please respect copyright.PENANAykVuIinSQj
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 368Please respect copyright.PENANAQEej26Cto6
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 368Please respect copyright.PENANAqLbAKvxC1u
appreciate it, my lady."368Please respect copyright.PENANAUmIfQ5nnE3
"None of that, it's Francesca."368Please respect copyright.PENANAGXmJlpA6sg
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."368Please respect copyright.PENANAh2O6Y9D4zi
Francesca nodded and 368Please respect copyright.PENANAIlRHC2CQ0i
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 368Please respect copyright.PENANACEd1JxUj1Y
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 368Please respect copyright.PENANADHglFLgQnh
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAQS99ABHJSD
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 368Please respect copyright.PENANAahz2tt0efQ
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 368Please respect copyright.PENANAQ25ySYmQKb
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.368Please respect copyright.PENANAfShRdazS6f
Rubbing his wrists to 368Please respect copyright.PENANAiT7iIb22Nb
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 368Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZVymoggsg
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 368Please respect copyright.PENANA8SsRMB8fng
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 368Please respect copyright.PENANApu0N4jZ6hr
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 368Please respect copyright.PENANAdwGjGfx9zn
to her.368Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6aslyLd51
~don't trust her, don't 368Please respect copyright.PENANA7GqyClJLZr
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that368Please respect copyright.PENANArS2sIGjIE8
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 368Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4dqDjdZJz
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 368Please respect copyright.PENANAd6uEipfziB
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 368Please respect copyright.PENANA6oEIDXqamB
betray him first if he doesn't.368Please respect copyright.PENANAM7UmS3hwZ9
His new home didn't seem368Please respect copyright.PENANAgwHVRl3ADm
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.368Please respect copyright.PENANAykwNUWjKif
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 368Please respect copyright.PENANApLnvO4Y2oG
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 368Please respect copyright.PENANAKhoW04XQ1l
starts gathering around the pots." 368Please respect copyright.PENANAxxDDyaVihI
David just nodded at 368Please respect copyright.PENANAqcC7NKED3r
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 368Please respect copyright.PENANA6t4fOOAJuY
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 368Please respect copyright.PENANAuKa7yLIby0
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 368Please respect copyright.PENANAk10GS5bGfH
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.368Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rfikb7GOB
He looked around and 368Please respect copyright.PENANAyjElO3Qi23
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 368Please respect copyright.PENANANSkcsxxyix
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially368Please respect copyright.PENANAn2LMrj0UTC
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 368Please respect copyright.PENANARcwg8yTQFB
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 368Please respect copyright.PENANABeapH4BZem
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.368Please respect copyright.PENANAyDNp8O3SO5
As he laid down further 368Please respect copyright.PENANAc1092ywS5z
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 368Please respect copyright.PENANACHf607AZzh
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 368Please respect copyright.PENANA0EZNzn11ll
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some368Please respect copyright.PENANAukbu1O16qT
