764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIrjwItezm
Davids relief didn't 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUHX9kRNqY
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4AgNIiSso
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih1zKDcCRl
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecoeaYkTSg
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ODuUZMCI
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4CKV9L9RU
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI75N1GDrgj
better off than Angela.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOjvOT2nRq
"Breathe slowly and calm764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52WVB9dN8Y
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7mFYjSbsp
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjIwwx5fXR
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtsEmmlcHO
got steadier.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkOgvhCRs7
"Useless." Gob said as 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw0mUB5I6A
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqTRlLVpXB
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6VJsQg9IJ
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb0s5vUdyy
After his conversation 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmyiQcFq2A
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OZdeg34F1
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTABYFZBm1C
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNf60BiHYE
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ia3KM0m3Q
"To get new weapons and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0i54ZeqG3
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEve4MDCzVd
drying his shoes from any excess water.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rzEMfY7CN
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUpk4xD1Mk
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVJPgjnK6F
"No!" Angela stood up 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5mCclmfaJ
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1yvxP4Ajc
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYR0NIQmWs
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RbQYvS5YR
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zhj5htlIs
"If I could do anything 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswlKlO34CE
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzViMDmEq9H
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXx58HI4Op
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8is9rUnE
us. Now get up."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF07NRAvDfK
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKX82M5xZK
Thus, they began their 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNK8cNpffg
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurbzPVpcLC
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YS5PJT4I2
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H7QFlocbq
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31j9iGzsQm
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPSyV6ZHq
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyawmWtjNlW
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQfTh6DY18
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkEzAY1p32
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnCDLqDFzS
The only one not 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRnMGR4iDr
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKxsI83sM
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTxSZ4Ke0i
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbOL2rciPw
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6kPDsJbvP
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAPlUo5W4u
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM18fCJnYh
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VHzNy6oEP
was no more fighting, David didn't know.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjccV3I72yN
David hoped that 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8VhiTGasN
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7iq8si5Di
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG2H6Q9ir5
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtzpx4A1ia
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrYGR3SIC5
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rGwBz3LYB
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA0WKNF4rK
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoaymHjbnB
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVOwOlhizv
David slouched to the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzvYf2aMNO
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36vPGgHuOw
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR27H8n2n0
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczh7akDrWP
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNGVW2chyU
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIBbBjMgz1
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3X9njpxrV
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjvRfBnHsv
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZv8kUNOWT
No answer. ~Oh hells, do764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw3VSXfwPf
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UKJJGoBRv
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEsk5gHXAd
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrzKPmaOAx
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbI3OLzXQ
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MQXjSweu
against putting it on her.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpDnh1uLIW
"I...I should've been 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VVWhS2ZGV
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SIsPFIgDu
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQof6Qr1PI
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI5IFGfDAq
David's mouth.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VqoEdnPux
"Why weren't you? Now, I764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLeN88ERFY
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0yLIVENw0
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhzcq4slxz
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBnJDAAVhk
"It happened so fast. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLTXI2S76R
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCWzQYPeGa
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEd5Yd7VlF
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlOiaYCC8z
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJxFjPbTGs
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ78OrQs6s
to herself again764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgjXQ8EwJA
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGMZTvrVBf
The mighty hunter 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRmKBImour
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMfZysb63I
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEOYrYfy7D
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s6DWda7Zh
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMY4G9HJM
Their respite didn't 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yfQZVtDMX
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppUVvvwEth
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM9zVnsM3b
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBwAfS9MfS
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow2MxVaqcz
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVcLAtR7YB
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4aI7vyhFr
that skill to actual good use.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhwjbdUUO7
Thankfully their walk 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWTAd43YO9
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq10HlVUiW
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbfjyOz61F
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqo0Vr0wIx
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51TM508W8l
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFFzRHyrX2
Gob motioned for them to764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M7xxtKWLY
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGM50Le9jR
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSmipvXECq
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIfMli7zGs
conveniently carried on his shoulder.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweJCh6sKSS
Fly boats were made out 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtDip6htxj
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAS0Pzcxoo
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLefRW0lATW
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxK31ekiDe
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj9M1vo6K7
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9upwktpVvg
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNxmV4rnm
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh6POKObJh
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyii7ZcUrK
or smiled. A frown.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGlhol0ST
He put the boat down on 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Ih7URUy2
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOT0b86i0I
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdSlsvsH75
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBM9pLAZuZ
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusjiBs2Cq
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQnQgrkUG
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MGtnXuyZB
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3QqOmZWIr
making his wounds ache.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjJ9Ot1nvz
Gob put the boat over 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kfOdUEJj8
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEgWZvldSt
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fMIJCfb1M
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpncGOdOJQB
the other. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPMOm5XfHC
Gob handed David the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg41AVVFXr
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7Rjknn8Z
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs7OEAnAfJ
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TAlod1tsL
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAFrhH3fNL
believed this was definitely one of those fates.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHapNBmqHy2
All though David did 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhPg76WClN
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovJKiUNQpe
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUscLzZWqd
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqvgkZK5XC
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSN6zNLPjc
by the sun.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GVIeqijhl
They all disembarked, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCSiWKqhso
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24TZ0m4Cfh
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXR3n9aVan
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriZnm8FLEI
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7eYk1pGoK
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQzSArFEP
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWQJeZk7WK
"How do they manage to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTF3Nm1LhG
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIOi4aH1LM
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyqS2ghfvm
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0hcg8JGuq
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWeYeE4KnI
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT1L89ULnd
David nodded, the answer764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNRNb1bJPd
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPNCbdNAtz
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWZpJJkLLJ
One thing David noticed,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj81NYdFY0
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UPGnILxUU
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DEjy2WfdV
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx25O0IT74
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU966wUs105
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgoJRt60m8
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzN9MV5II
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OaChJYxme
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmC3bkbbzn
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49YUzszLOX
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoreeAAiXI
It made him remember 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZobVc8pLW
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL2Jd99fS6
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyEcDhgUQF
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6mtrjRJOE
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJvENyko9
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JPXSywhlz
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXjvmeNmgS
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ11KPC7oHg
while ago.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK4uxF3oVk
Just as previously they 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18zQmDSnZE
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EIC9IwiIA
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObGAaaMb2M
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFRV11FS4j
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViFaiyKoza
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSbkltbA6C
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckAwQFR34r
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1sx2jM622
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRJda1zzt6
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W9JaK6cfY
David was apprehensive 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi8eJdpWPs
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc7p9B9BSZ
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpYNjbdHjg
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm04zZ2IUh
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF4XDKgp2k
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzm9tJgLpD
Before they all turned 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomxbRe00mP
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSuganmbEC
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEevKd0kIO6
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLK8gJxYag
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vyO5M3v9R
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemPAoMCxNJ
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD8W5vIjkR
Sadly the sweet dream 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbvdSeRvrf
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndvWfuYA60
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pcAVbKoAj
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYabrViEgFJ
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kXVtsyNNk
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdjGAjZo41
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQauiE4ns4
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK1sJ41eKG
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ50Dqojuqw
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBjLPJY3CA
David shook his head and764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoqANQkG5E
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSX2o2XJyI
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqKNDCmZDe
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc9LtCTjyB
too.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxj2EoWIU0
They spent the morning 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTD0jt7BYI
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV0M1pLPKY
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIxCC7XC2l
crowd. ~764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa74khxktfQ
After they were all done764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkckhJEbbnJ
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQzL9S7fBS
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vwdva6ECC
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk1CpRk3xF
Positivity all around.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMSgWZC1kg
Soon they reached the 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgPOrf3CZv
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQVDCCAGf3
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxNlSHRPQm
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUU262AqFQ
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mfxNj7Gxg
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD4bKD6FfC
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7pU7MEbe2
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqqQBErgKF
everyone won.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAs8dFFAWf
Gob seemed to be pretty 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p6eHPdJ8k
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sPsSduvsp
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLt5lDdCoA
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3U6QZw9PP
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPk9uJucB7
making her way behind David.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWSg4vdmXq
"Where's Lev?" Gob 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ug3BQcaD
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHfC8u101c
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO05EEtQykw
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VchAERmtB
Reaching the middle 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY9lhA6ru3
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gYe8sD1fn
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgedc7iu92o
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNHHB3kigv
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp2kPkhX32
and quickly put a knife to his throat.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI0s0ZBLQI
Before David could 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxjv3QU3NG
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q1CwwZSA4
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c2vB6zjRf
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHiThcWjKk
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLhkqT2USE
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqFfoylbkn
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTTPsh7rwy
The captains facial 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPqZ3ITM8P
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybvv88Ef44
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4i0X8Fv7C
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSIgcIjTet
"Enough of this!" 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A9DDqJ7xA
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPp3y2vfkf
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9vjhP1j24
towards them.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Tio5onId
David felt himself flung764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUX4BwUUco
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJUXS4kL0Q
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqE5AmYxQl
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwSXnuck33
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaURAEECNUm
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK1VX27NFZ
overwhelmed him.
