"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEsCTDybIF
Gob shook his head, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhjEBvmt7
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpEC8al0bm
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArn6aDIwYm
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasi5pLuRfx
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjSFxU42vP
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDzUDf8T4u
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYZ2hApq6P
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJhDLJDLKU
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmgwYvQqAD
would move.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsbqQZc1MB
Now David has only been 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MurGyFBoA
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesRbtQewCq
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukOFcR0Mg2
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ894zH05l1p
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRNMAb90ae
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUNitcQbUx
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXZHlpfMRw
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpxn09HoLh
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR1KL7DKTV
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KXyngidJk
divided loyalties.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZsGSS1qG
Another important thing 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOha57vmW2
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNulrbULwnW
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cfY3gAM98
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRa1NHXKUA
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bezVYCTtf
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhVchgBI7T
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcLFDq5D68
their destination.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuenfQ8xiz5
Today they were out 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7QlBKZeJ
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrd1O3j2Gk
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZShc5MTwD
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihEnRMOmqs
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV783XolMEi
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0diuB0x7QT
"Yes, now shut up and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxOWnMpamL
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0N1mHcbF0
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSAIW90e7D
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFDwsx3rPh
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrU79gkCax
They were at their 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Olc3KFxS
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwIErfZbc2
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0OmvVdPaw
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7C7LrUkFO
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVP49fZm4g
"Alright, that's enough.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNvxN9cvFC
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs08nylB1gT
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYYMQqjib
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC1vKLY5Kl
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4YN9ESYkM
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mF4snGeM
David walked in silence 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk9zOv1v9Z
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMD2AMWOUN
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVOkYp6upI
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMPpWabYpi
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgnaahPdyd
A walk that would've 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJaoredGh
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0tulyiD0U
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8gC2cTdJp
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl90X9LlKX
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL5UZ21728
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFTkJchp1
"I'll go report to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJaZwfuHYJ
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0p3FtJAoR
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVdR22EAIP
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5VnGiWoRh
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3emT3KjoU
winning Gob over.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B643lV5FC
Francesca on the other 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwVdXFS302
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNjIep6SnS
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5CEXVKWur
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE71ATqAJMC
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3OxmbzSIE
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qdf3OrzJD
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ev1322PD
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJLI9tTdNR
David just wished he 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyEoBNeH5e
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrojCvUsy8U
well no one said being a parasite was easy.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp9l680ygY
Further down the camps 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJ6SXJr2y
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uGO8w5mOD
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ722WmROLa
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3xWsiCDQF
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKWIslKXMq
him. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIqPnurCfN
"What'cha doing?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxTYFWdGgR
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pyrs5lMUl
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1YZUBxnHQ
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYiK9TPp2n
David nodded. The boy 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI16AcU4L3K
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrMKlAxi2S
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCnUhWKiIV
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzUx1aF9s9
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dj4Bhlgeq
read them someday."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj12ik2Xwch
Twitch muttered 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnwfWz44ye
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRn0Ssdavi
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ0BtCxtVO
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHktaDdSDp2
Twitch started shaking 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAlwaWbXUw
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5nQ26QGLA
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXquojvFEE
jump back even more than David did625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6te0Y07EI
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gku8MpyEm
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCuSDKcw8r
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtvVbjXpZa
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf9W6QXU74
any instinct he had.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr1rmO1J1K
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqlnScjuZh
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoQMWhxMWJ
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4vPVw20sU
now.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pnv7LoifO
"Nonsense." Francesca 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAvo3v4kJA
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqNZmXetgd
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD06pzE2ayo
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30E4Kkn3kZ
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hSe4ud6GL
dark red.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvITI5cqgPs
Francesca spared Twitch 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvQFY0OybT
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWrxxnAsDa
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyDqUgnsSq
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXKXm73jxY
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vqDRjgpPb
was popularly called.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct6t9qTVhB
The rebels not only 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAgl7u7GLm
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjPJMcdp0d
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uyuCfAPIv
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCfFs2Jb02
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttafVUaERf
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZKxtH74c3
to them. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNE24alDsI
David attended one of 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjexAL5b8Je
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Liaimukrh
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVRVrtqIDc
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BxRVvpRh7
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUPdSMqyuO
learn anything new.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1KKj1DMkX
Before leading her group625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JM9K4bogK
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AxGu5EFSS
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97HRnB1dwC
"Of course, I'll see you625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdton0WXxJR
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHvpGU4ggB
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpJkDGdGnd
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qwm3h8dhi
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbb4vLcLE
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zh7mbhzSx
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXtOJWduw
remember his parents or family.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWEs6028Vk
Francesca, unaware of 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj73KafxIFB
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbInsbWH6zG
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc1qR1XqzK
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftSNYHFRsT
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ws9wu3cQQ
Nook was an interesting 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iBdUESPKD
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBIABFlye2
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETD5vsW9kG
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlfoHvQMjq
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck59XWPtNv
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqn48wd0nO
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AMdjaZtYb
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD8fI2XMOo
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9FBOlQmtp
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4HEmnhdhD
Nook grinned a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuf1PlllhB
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBqLtD1QPf
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHoVJR2c6W
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86CjSFbtdT
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW8h8CtiVq
backs.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KhsH2F6BG
Thus any card games were625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFihpqVRYV
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfHXtez2bz
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9u8EDyRdv
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBmtCU1Dm3
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzFVN2T5s
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiHrXvlVE1
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ84QKFARy
did have.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HuEtIhmGT
Some did think it was a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpknYS7RYm
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTxocqKCzA
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYaTNooBUu
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8wUHo5Sif
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryyaEV5Se6
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccQn31c7AE
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3oZBBbwur
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDBBs7RNtM
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTqLfiCzNU
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKCeoS2yJK
food has been.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw59Sz0YX7P
They were the four main 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FnLsGSTMR
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLYsiaZosI
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9yK6sgCal
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99VNYJY8tl
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZQS6dosx1
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAThK64sGS
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyXmMOI72H
and accepted them.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02kPoTwesd
"''Ello boys." David 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd3fK06HW5
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Tx6MW4i4
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ1VsqU06i
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTNsGpedqU
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzgfmwoHcF
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4IyZIU1Z7
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAUfBWwxHP
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLic0Rm17d3
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTIRaaqCRO
least for his own benefit. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g1CsP4TKj
Nook was the first to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGHJtorZLY
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicH9hV7TzC
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWfsx8G1R1
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEFaffiLpC
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetgycYvSDH
Tiruk, in answer, just 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J2Eoaoui4
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuIoTm1Bv8
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQlBipo12B
Next card revealed. A 3 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX4jG1XiKu
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGY2MkvXd8
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuVBl2mf7m
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYLR7q36O
very happy, old, man.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpI9kEx2Gz
Since David didn't have 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEns3P0Les
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriDZdHE0WB
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjCBZ1Nh74
would be safe to take a walk.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKZehbFSKY
Another thing he took to625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3siPxE3JZ
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bh1xeAZ6r
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTYfzGvqzN
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivtraQLz4
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s9n31egUi
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgviDGz2Yj
He also found various 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfWvUJwu0c
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ1U4XMgMw
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl90wpd55e
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii9umhQZ5I
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Fj5wDS6d
being more careful.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9X3EtHJEB
The caves themselves 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrw7nFDCyQ
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobcRJ3tP3h
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQVOIbnUML
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbky9MFg6t
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5X9mkmGBI
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmwNCL4Bdn
himself that limited their exploring time.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xtqymQ0Dw
That let David offer his625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSwq2SZCuj
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRudSuUeRE
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuXDnr5RmB
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGXOKnDdiN
free more people for patrols and other duties.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDO98EvUft
This time though he had a625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMenPciuF5
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDowXADKS
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeZLuajBR9
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MhyK3EL5T
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJiRf1HumE
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzTc8qxaU
That's where he was 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhra9cFM4PZ
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sD49BUE3g
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUayNpSzpxK
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw224ZSqDY
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBqjEsGyS
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR4WNyleAh
better in his mind.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBQhCNZu1I
Thus grabbing a torch as625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMhVdB483X
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7DnNFX6RI
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Dqhs935S
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gVaVvny3Z
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBu6dwXoOo
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5CTWxbadp
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq0Pz6iXEd
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJILigu0bt
his mind wander and just blanked out. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDKmHnkgm4
Before he even noticed, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzaXtEouJv
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ2kSVKaxZ
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK4AVTr8Of
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wt4xpE0rn
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3rH25EEF6
the smell of unwashed masses.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP2n36mjlM
It did seem that David 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz87LoRasen
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvXwToCDuL
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXJGap3QXy
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RXeIZvPWx
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkG4EFrFai
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetJT4ISEY
seemed to satisfy Stevie.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFN6zidYwN
"Don't keep Francesca 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtD2IaVcOO
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPsmyBFpAv
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DOu2AHaqD
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAj6QJMZjz
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItwfCUvTWf
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV8W6GCUkj
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2djBbvpViM
walked away. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyS4UWguKj
David smiled and waved 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAGv0MCpt2
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUtYq7Uswi
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7swEHW3SUM
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DAm3AQ3KM
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wbsqsXBRh
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9nAuHRTy8
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFToyXFOPgQ
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TyEC21GV
the paragon of virtue.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZUU2tSGBs
Her room, as per usual, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVETTorBApS
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfbf39SYf6
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ439SMQ3Key
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp7JAGGDfR
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGdnqllnDf
to light up all caverns and pathways. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznrUgNDlRE
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsvMuULvsL
David sat down with a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE7gxwYd89
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WTSm9xdet
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jO2R6MAdH
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nbugjhz0a
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1D3WgxKGO
in a stream. Delicious.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKgR9o5uKM
"So pleasantries first or business first?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp5VVkmCwM
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd9cagspIn
Francesca nodded and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR56LwN7f7I
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDUWvlaXtb
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2xknWMTy4
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZMeTAvQSp
fast eating was paramount.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHrxKsgfr
As expected David 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOph6UXz7LB
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIjOAhL2wS
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKc85V3l3y
deliberate eater.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt8lvrQxJF
"So on to business." She625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSjhzL4H7e
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNw70lMJCn
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHRqdzkI7H
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGZuQq6ZZW
"In a way. It's someone 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWekBeZpok
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHba6koUkjR
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2DphNH3Ek
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FNrbAGpzF
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucKWweKDGx
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfpRLogHer
"Well, there is a 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzpQP725AB
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy0j9fttMT
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojRqHcPGiA
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS34WFK7FGO
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQs2Fdi4Be
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lXNhevmv
in a few days the edge of a different isle.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkanu0QJTK
"We will also be moving 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPEUS2Sib7
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCDgyUvgtv
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B91pkrlld
so some will know where to go."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXdAAWA9Bw
"That's good, why did 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDgF0cvRwO
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm5fkiDhaM
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM3UAN5Oqc
was interested in the answer.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV9SbX34kG
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LeFszKL8a
David nodded, not a full625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGr1wO41RU
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXh65UkRdI
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrYANrPslp
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p1BwrCSqV
"Thank you." She said 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQyD3nlEx
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2IhQcYgYa
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2RlDohVWo
regroup at a specified point."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclpEeWMM7F
"How will you get 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MvF3cjAeg
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72cItGFzbN
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozbaZLWP6n
city.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RavdyjHwu
"We have small sky 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eobjuKPd5
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2HpBbloaL
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jozdxD6zP
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ORaENMA9p
group."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9g7jI5eL
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jl08h1ZRx
She gave him a sad smile625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJGNV6Hzxy
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywTyuywET0
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2NwnNvjeS
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArhDFBywRi
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJp5VGAHSr
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKVDakfLDs
their past in the past.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70fFY3sxKq
"Now then, back to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6r74Eazib
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgcplLlKF
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcjzIijS7t
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYcYzXmwpz
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KmmSy9xIX
"You'll have it. I'm 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbrxk8eZl
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOwVholCLC
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVog7xMEUP
on a rock hard surface.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OUsMsopOW
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXRPIvc3ir
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKAE4IYd2q
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHGeWA8gLa
"Sadly no, I'm as 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIU7R9HXw3
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcjaIZSu1N
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPHN7npJKA
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3NqV6NEB
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAdXCes8U8
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3qAfupCr7
"Do not worry, I am 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZiHBIBTv1
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUp2e8lBQ
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzbFcqmhrj
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPE3nvpuUo
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoon0ciR2O8
"We're under attack, they found us."
