686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlsYMqUD61
Davids relief didn't 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXuc9AbGvB
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPurGwcFaW
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepqKtC9uGh
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGFjsN4m1z
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJSONDckii
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ri7byGVC
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaejOv65csy
better off than Angela.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy56C8Jlpy
"Breathe slowly and calm686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjB6OSLkum
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtQswO67Ik
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW1fvRqaXB
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWpmtznNRN
got steadier.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt77y4hX5K
"Useless." Gob said as 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWSGgOWtWm
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF35Sjly6Y
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcNLdytiVg
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwEZOmPQBd
After his conversation 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfVReJJKAd
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMK1zpEm7H
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1WytCl42i
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIMr2Q437
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbt963BqIq
"To get new weapons and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mn943gJsx
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHphLSSWYnT
drying his shoes from any excess water.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFWvUjs7Xz
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHN2ZdingD
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBoC8RGpcw
"No!" Angela stood up 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YQQepNbRn
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NmWcbkLYJ
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypafRbI1ze
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bszbS2ngc
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIpOjDTH6E
"If I could do anything 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1GCgEhIef
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxrvjiyAZn
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LdCzW3omX
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l8mf2JZsZ
us. Now get up."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6fQs3ZOcR
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeiz8W1M0N
Thus, they began their 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8clOPbnXZ
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0CPs5XesY
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmgLJJOh8G
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFExGM3KTy
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpRicnPr7b
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLDFNNXWZ
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHcTNa9Pbk
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeKmrZZDZ0
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jqh8UI2Ia
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cx4INfaVB
The only one not 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnF1XZmdeZ
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPyR6Blza
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNaU5UIzp
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2Rzdl2s4
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBx55Vjk4G
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYeby9bMI
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXThNKlOr6
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ZdIjWYVQ
was no more fighting, David didn't know.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKuwHqJL3N
David hoped that 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMRWyAsEDT
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY8p6h2B3e
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dVODTKL0l
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgglvcLQxc
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT05de8VJea
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSJV5Lvnwh
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH6PwRwQ5j
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlB0py9Ihm
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSigeERjZkg
David slouched to the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzZmCukUmw
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNCYE6EMNu
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvGEFpwU2Y
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMQaRNXs0y
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsL5bdHBXo
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVznup0WrQ7
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8rc7fnbAa
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd1aTIiR0w
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqeZNLl6qt
No answer. ~Oh hells, do686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56MrfZQ7E
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZIu406bsw
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpwScPnmmZ
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq6iwmbpi3
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL6IsIdUIT
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG4VDG1Ynz
against putting it on her.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFq8nbXOF4
"I...I should've been 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65DW4gF7c5
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVuBOJE3yN
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgwznfyp25
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lcIxKVyC3
David's mouth.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkL6wawlZT
"Why weren't you? Now, I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPoh5q1NVl
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC2VXHjwkp
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZyrQSPeq6
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYmCRgBJQK
"It happened so fast. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJg9GzCX2r
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCv4cYGq35
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh9zs9i4OI
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9KlJEiVst
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAzd1PLTkk
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQIFbhcPFu
to herself again686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9gnzzuuNJ
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyFZKKjCYp
The mighty hunter 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdHQ5DqFXA
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLOXuOMWAt
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFM3Sw8mn6
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSoAuvNtL8
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1rOzMIHEO
Their respite didn't 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloVaKdYU9H
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l2X0gpZMh
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVDJEfvykI
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8y4F8DJ39
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgFMML6L7v
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv4v7pAEGN
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7peQIbYcc
that skill to actual good use.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1dbo5llNd
Thankfully their walk 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDk8VFztb
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1etKGndmo1
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zp9F1yuKd
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB98vthx5Tw
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw98If8rySD
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfrYGQN5KZ
Gob motioned for them to686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp6iuaIchg
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQDJaaxkXs
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNi2PlgAo2
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfv8DwZeme
conveniently carried on his shoulder.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOQBkSrI0G
Fly boats were made out 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcCCGHPZ47
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkRmApemGl
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fux9ztC3W
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxpeqAGSr6
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2hOb8EHUS
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPpooT32XK
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTBMMO0hiM
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb3dHWpQhX
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEc8or3mBo
or smiled. A frown.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0gv4b7AH2
He put the boat down on 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeO1ymKoEm
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiRRD3OMwH
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0KteC0WqN
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ykcOJGCl
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg2FxH2fne
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuYGuFYKhx
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3v3f7YEgL
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi2bKVt9F2
making his wounds ache.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWSkcDSE9D
Gob put the boat over 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc19CL6fAU
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90sjc79gRY
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU4hkGzaRn
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxtL9yd6Kd
the other. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUOMrfhzpL
Gob handed David the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l6gKiANZG
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs3Im8AXnS
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWgK5viyUD
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmBvY824f6
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBiv1UMvr9
believed this was definitely one of those fates.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM2cEJw0tn
All though David did 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK6X3kJwfb
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGcKRcO52q
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOGyhZpnwb
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl37zEHMkK
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFoCTuqEso
by the sun.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMivB56thN
They all disembarked, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj8xfkv8gN
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdNOWhsTfB
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4aXFoIKCr
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRcR5VvF0S
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxFep9LLyT
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaWi3Ffgfc
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYUrPuqKG4
"How do they manage to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlZzQboNsY
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkT6n5OAUU
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGYLWtqxcQ
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtkIw7dTT4
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b3w4jWaQx
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlqPleUQA5
David nodded, the answer686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXSKHPIbVR
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXcf5Cozyg
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxW6daLavM
One thing David noticed,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHwOOSbXvR
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9xnDkblnR
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9jcb4jHlT
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BjSwf5fR0
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLM2UFJKOP
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oIGWPhCTY
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV5p2c2AHp
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUchTl1nFB
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkNIzEtD81
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BOEO19kVi
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp23kcZBY4
It made him remember 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYNOTFBGxf
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm20IWBbnmB
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6DjysITcy
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiDNyp9zQY
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTuzBAhbqZ
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHojsUT0Ux
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WRCiSlsX1
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW783V2dAUa
while ago.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1NnR2dgH7
Just as previously they 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0vFtL3MMr
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHOYG7GQbF
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbT4R3vsQV
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfZLN8lcpo
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYQjp2BG0E
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGpJevMaCU
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5joQpdLFRp
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGEXdv3Fm5
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4lJ5Y4j10
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bwGBJ7AtH
David was apprehensive 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05YIQ9q1jj
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tIQJB17Dm
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVjcauRgIl
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AuCfJfxsT
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJcjRhpf3t
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b3BqYD1lp
Before they all turned 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Z9u9iJFy
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f1tZZ0loc
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIj33uwLZy
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2PPDiheUE
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAlHcrKEYU
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8qLpKAWNk
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrbOaSSPTK
Sadly the sweet dream 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y5ORG2l5Z
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkzGLc6L4d
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshoQSxYgDH
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGMUtWnCgQ
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGRXhRshz
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIKDjcMXrW
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2EPJPuxl1
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SsmoUBo0m
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiROyp6nKv0
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMONdfQQM3
David shook his head and686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD966fi7pIz
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOiIoWuTcZ
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ondZ6u2jh
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgtrJbOV89
too.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8pNPLGlkH
They spent the morning 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnifxv3OzUc
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ6EUcMppc
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaSK0kqpQW
crowd. ~686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9pg6sAKfK
After they were all done686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMb0JDt40M
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxU1v9iVuH
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCguuhCyWs
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92j5Diw3FJ
Positivity all around.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0r5aCjZJa
Soon they reached the 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTROjYhXHv
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSW1p7mfrA
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj27kb2dRsp
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDOrnFwGjC
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw5Suxxq73
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrqyz0eydl
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMZpfKvyIa
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99kbUAQHjE
everyone won.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfc9kLTJw1
Gob seemed to be pretty 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxinJFWnJLn
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f7K6TOfwH
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9rrL9FEyQ
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UNYT8kQ4x
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFFAMVQImn
making her way behind David.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUx4VOBbCu
"Where's Lev?" Gob 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGw2dDjH5w
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ThgZE03YV
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBAs204wW9
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjKinUF4HY
Reaching the middle 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6RAxNF08g
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrZdNmfrLM
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOd1pATwr2
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUecdGspBx9
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKJxKYl3g5
and quickly put a knife to his throat.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcRYAAAHST
Before David could 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzaPsmd9wO
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNFRw4TSKp
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xusqtWnw8
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHUf68fqn2
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh87YM6SBx
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBawqW14Wl
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy62gIA25yC
The captains facial 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrOzc56aiT
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ929lKqYKKo
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAbut6UWIf
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeooSqRO7y
"Enough of this!" 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbC3TvoCxg
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFkDih9ED8
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvG9250yQP
towards them.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡripRzL3u1Q
David felt himself flung686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8js8fUYsPo
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRa159Lj85
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0s0vuEEsA
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtseguH0VP
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALaSKyKev
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmApBHOtze
overwhelmed him.
