"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGbVemSZPD

"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOxSWPl1BV
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR0Vl3RMTd
Gob shook his head, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhITICY0ITg
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5StZStQMox
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeaK5LqrF8
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MbNExfu66
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb66v2OyqB
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnyODxL2K2
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGNoOOgGA8
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3LcQzUy9P
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSr9JzW0yA
would move.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8XrtZg9CN
Now David has only been 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kvgkJUdPM
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjHosEgKlz
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG4BdLH2DZ
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ykEMoRia
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxHb10tycq
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3B3NoN6f1
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoIbHXsRz4
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCusRiDJf4
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPi3L85QIO
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUd9tO18Hz
divided loyalties.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk58XaYcRf5
Another important thing 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb1P9HhPbI
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06gx0Codh8
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5rrvPw2wm
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eIdo4wlvr
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8NuAdZRXr
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudDtbOJX9u
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWcl4Udk2K
their destination.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgX2mAt5q8
Today they were out 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPCWeBcbhw
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx0jwY2kJT
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mwP4yEdc
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNaMcHKjyv
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8LZeVHgFv
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB1TMcOo5V
"Yes, now shut up and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMXKIvLuBo
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal8wkwY18W
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1f9qWRzzk
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgel5x1OI0B
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgtKRRzV0y
They were at their 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiumkpshbE
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv7Q2yFJxJ
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG0ADzEp2M
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnDvENXw8M
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClamXoLdJv
"Alright, that's enough.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEsPb4EAJV
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2er44nBc6P
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhlzJqUf2I
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYThpYTbCo
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBuwDFilm4
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABoGXqQ3nc
David walked in silence 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6kwIh8S9T
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRazLvFb1yc
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gBw04Jjo2
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb064K9IRSg
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OIvH1YDnz
A walk that would've 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDq1mdwfZn
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3MfKdhLCm
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnaxve3glM
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsZhzqrSfc
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5IVk9KAFJ
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUnBzUsSAU
"I'll go report to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSwc5KXNdx
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYxH7RJXP0
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WZwPMFo8j
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwcWJUR9GG
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BMoM3F4sy
winning Gob over.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg0AKgNBXJ
Francesca on the other 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGspIxdVK4F
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0GQjZ6oNx
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m6e5hfKzg
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw9fJvCQfq
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBvTTHvVSC
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8e7BuZoK7
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8UVVEBu8k
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXf0Sqek1p
David just wished he 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95WQCNFXu5
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWjLn41lJW
well no one said being a parasite was easy.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWx2envZv1
Further down the camps 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfWAfQwLCe
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRlKSTQK9e
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAxu7arOxH
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zy1Tba76t
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMgM9kd0lC
him. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowhI8zptUM
"What'cha doing?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmWaQbxKVz
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59VmVo0tEz
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweqi1YGUUh
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a39eeJhLO
David nodded. The boy 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamNfqScDx9
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLyKXbOg9M
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoriBG8ngl
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLFjbD4bkw
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jXCjU6X2d
read them someday."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Jq68eXBo
Twitch muttered 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn9HZIKnip
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK7574IoHu
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDP02wgVSY
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamVzdlbtdw
Twitch started shaking 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt8I3smWIC
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AxGORjcss
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A0oEtGC4G
jump back even more than David did692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQKF2LoUPW
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j5wtvt1iU
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOJs41rUIb
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiHTcyf5fd
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFjhkRfaZb
any instinct he had.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjXdS3c4z0
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjzUrFBO3L
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iU1xZmOWL
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcGT9Fq7kk
now.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BEupPSqhH
"Nonsense." Francesca 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOfO0B7iGU
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuivZX5zPuS
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ruAoRtsf
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsODCNTfbK
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQOhVAnQEw
dark red.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjERhWN0V0z
Francesca spared Twitch 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTh2KxaCi0
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2oLIFKesX
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAFy8YpBEm
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Rj0vDxzi
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb4Iy1XWaJ
was popularly called.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW9WHyK8CE
The rebels not only 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOziyL9hRgd
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdHx1XKbn9
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueHJQ66iz7
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zEA9sUn80
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHGXtDDHKH
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOJ9xWk0ew
to them. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhgZWtxCoA
David attended one of 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeytBrMaDWi
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sNtk5PLLG
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSr4q9wpsT
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgpMiFJF1V
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMqc0xaRpY
learn anything new.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOsF7bJwim
Before leading her group692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGFYbEVz00
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYTwoBvcsK
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy789iUGs2Z
"Of course, I'll see you692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfUPAtgjiT
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTwlZYcbgl
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0WA75gFMY
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRCP5bzYXa
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3EIFQTPFT
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiENLlKba0E
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPUfsYRh1z
remember his parents or family.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloInKq3ZeE
Francesca, unaware of 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EaUJB32X3
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3TgooRYCk
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdyHc5z4eB
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoki0PmCO4
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwkGWGFrMX
Nook was an interesting 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaruqztSTM
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bch4NIuaZ
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOexptHm7UY
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPMQr9CwgC
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa39w2b65k
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5DyEqkYza
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIb8jaA0Ui
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUywD6fZAx3
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyFhwPwTj3
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI9Ll6oNcw
Nook grinned a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSIf7A4vp0
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75UjkhCyfD
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCPXWnFZXH
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMfZCfrabF
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVkoeMLBpB
backs.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mOwa31mUj
Thus any card games were692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu950zQW8UF
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNge8kF7YH
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8zaBcuwxO
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSpWAvuR17
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkMsny7Tkz
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4JLiLO86u
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Vlz5NWu4
did have.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvckIvLE6Y8
Some did think it was a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWatcEhbZwE
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1bVgiA2sz
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ8UGYYLS3
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO7grx4rxb
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwvEXOs0k
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAupDOnNLzj
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZya6x5mj0f
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zXvKXHYEx
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSZsFjpx4i
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT82XfHBNo4
food has been.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mMc9PI0gy
They were the four main 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmqJFxCRfa
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErYcQigYDb
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSg1uwaKqG
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22rc2V5DQh
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsHeKI8lvb
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDlw8xuSfP
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnmAxzVGSQ
and accepted them.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5iCdRmNnj
"''Ello boys." David 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmpGPNY4k0
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l7PjC2zsI
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyMLkC35iu
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11lnsVbocN
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz7OdeeLXd
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebVIH4N2dP
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7JvgizUGt
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxiPAlYhp6
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39SHsSluAs
least for his own benefit. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hTcNHflj
Nook was the first to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXRNF1ESqT
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ey1pJtmK
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSmScnjDPd
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUFKM4haed
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVxqGAxfcV
Tiruk, in answer, just 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQNBHlEs2
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeFGZLx9On
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjkyZ3rH50
Next card revealed. A 3 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmvylK3TyF
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dr36vb6L4
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC4eUnZACC
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHowba3o8c
very happy, old, man.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcpiCikKDD
Since David didn't have 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDHfh3Q6oX
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZGQkkQYbf
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU5E0nLco5
would be safe to take a walk.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwZZJb2yqI
Another thing he took to692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysDD3Ua16Q
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKs88aYqAB
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljUr6kenAw
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSssi8eZ8H3
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj8qVBlwR6
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij0ybBCOAy
He also found various 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBHXchbhbW
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc4SWR2l6b
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTA1sc6Zyy
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnRubH63Nl
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY1MvwUUoT
being more careful.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhtV2XwbSU
The caves themselves 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k2ZbBt5ex
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7meE2r14xh
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIbiDoUo62
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX68kt1VfXc
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrywxlx1Xo8
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68MLmeLyTJ
himself that limited their exploring time.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0xxDFKspK
That let David offer his692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVadL47qycQ
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCCMqmeXld
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZahsAFYsQ8
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjv9wcRnVn
free more people for patrols and other duties.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK61ox0EkME
This time though he had a692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvMQw4gEZT
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hLUx3odhk
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD4WSkdfUv
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt269b68wu
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKrUbXs7U3
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eJDr1UIPx
That's where he was 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtWTqP3dlO
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGTP1OSG4B
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tg1i5F6Pv
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbXvtrtTs
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAzoZm3nx3
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd4jWu3ZbN
better in his mind.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr9tEAoZJ6
Thus grabbing a torch as692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ22ax9PeO
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeGID5wyoZ
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZekssLHUR
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk70aRGHXlc
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20h2o9n86H
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDimuhFC9L
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ykQW0tqCP
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkKwkwe6hv
his mind wander and just blanked out. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBxGGO77ik
Before he even noticed, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWhbeIYys7
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkr0x0jwdx
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0k9HrPc4K
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAPIVSxnCb
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXkylSurA3
the smell of unwashed masses.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxiwH2JriM
It did seem that David 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMyUP0auaj
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uIk1lkh1C
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NmXi8rEvx
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfS7Ki1LeM
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6qteU6EXM
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT2Eqgq9f2
seemed to satisfy Stevie.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW2GBFBuXR
"Don't keep Francesca 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIbB4bjxMU
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCh623okzy
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI1ti5we6o
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SlZ5iIruR
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwg0N9Kbh4
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvGrFfUMV2
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJINQYd0Vnz
walked away. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4XYvORZqp
David smiled and waved 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVszs2BQx73
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS7iMPZUWE
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH39xxVlPOg
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl86OmpSUol
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgnP4QeYMI
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qF60XkZth
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUJfj3mV06
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1QPwUkiUL
the paragon of virtue.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfdI9TySev
Her room, as per usual, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10FazQMWMC
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUGf4CBQ0p
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tXwjGHgSM
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4gyfLCWfN
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jzMxFfEWw
to light up all caverns and pathways. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkLS502ubi
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oJFcVNQIF
David sat down with a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrvwMTKqwi
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Svh8pNy6
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEkfoArcUy
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Za3Tx4YHE
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlXtG5rv1F
in a stream. Delicious.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhGDEwa24N
"So pleasantries first or business first?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa8EogpMDx
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDCkqs8vh0
Francesca nodded and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIjzitSJka
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtRxVhDxwQ
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fc5nusV6B
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwlEmGL6QO
fast eating was paramount.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAmZBgBMj9
As expected David 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DaHUAeP7f
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTCViO3ugH
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW3ASrdiEN
deliberate eater.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPEXDc8uus
"So on to business." She692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaZnj79Nf8
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc7B1toPsi
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG6eEOS7eA
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkMlT5vNRV
"In a way. It's someone 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGAgFxzGVd
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGTy3r4f7D
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00yzIroA5I
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o6i9DeBh0
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZu5Zwga2W
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7xvC12ZDU
"Well, there is a 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DuzOdP9l6
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNNBn6QA4J
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8i4yshAcF
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Io5Bc6rlN
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW6HiRvla3
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInIs5D2dCJ
in a few days the edge of a different isle.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcnxsyuN9A
"We will also be moving 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu7wpnssKh
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRhbjd4RrL
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkMSYkSn1S
so some will know where to go."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36WL4Ah1s7
"That's good, why did 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOaoaQQsCK
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWleZc3r73w
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodgYcMzMM
was interested in the answer.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9hOBhvNf8
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6qcOM2FUw
David nodded, not a full692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuWGQWffC2
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgZf4pUwhY
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwanwkH6uIr
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T4JVyN08b
"Thank you." She said 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt1MUlt2uF
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrABupFlL1I
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlujR55p0gn
regroup at a specified point."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSvNyYSCPn
"How will you get 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QGBmTdFTm
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWHFgvbiP
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIabuoSXQMD
city.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhoVq8juA4
"We have small sky 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyzFx28uEJ
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpmH3cd3HD
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYZe3VzOnT
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68OMcF3Wn0
group."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eoKgjp6DC
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8k6xaCGCs
She gave him a sad smile692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfgAVrWJOs
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ynmX5fuo
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlLL79yvG3
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLrmEbWUTi
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKySeaOVD8y
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgwEHgvNTK
their past in the past.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFMevd3TpC
"Now then, back to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBdm8ELlOS
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CkeBBlQXg
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOPPG3W2Jc
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkF0GiMJVR
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLIzYlqZwf
"You'll have it. I'm 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPuu5h7c6o
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrGLyxBEay
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzgp4ktFLy
on a rock hard surface.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqocnhPnsCE
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQmPt0khCJ
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYMmizV4eT
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh34MJ1Fa5O
"Sadly no, I'm as 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAYkbkf7o7
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqgXor17Id
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDW3wkWcfa
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUdYO8DQ1
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV1p1VkEp2
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypjgUjykMQ
"Do not worry, I am 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ACRmJgqi
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZQNDWcE8V
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyGTampUW5
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJqNIjvkrH
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSLJbb2aDg
"We're under attack, they found us."
