"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQbuwB5Z7w

"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVlXTLACmF
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGljz9kXm5
Gob shook his head, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0lfIa75BF
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsXUO8RxxF
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQLCIx3xfT
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv3PiwlrwH
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgcWWKK0Kj
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGptGhuuon
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHPBqJ7bil
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf37GOF7ELv
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fqSCGLqGn
would move.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cYxPM2TLa
Now David has only been 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoq6aE9U5J
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTtJBPW6Hg
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbudLskawfM
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksuJNhNI42
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStRb7xqzfM
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnhhMsDcvo
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21vLTfMKVw
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ma8Q9NQN
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMykh7rGE5z
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVudVxZNPL
divided loyalties.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbTt87IMYF
Another important thing 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohPsTx1yH
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK7HIRRQY7
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqjtdqEeds
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkBOZuK4FP
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfoE4mMd2L
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V1eGNpgsm
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS16ND041F
their destination.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjovrVD3eEQ
Today they were out 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO9rQToE2G
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXCM1cM87
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliYUNH4NfJ
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiHMpPvT4u
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzqwKw3t9m
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVZ3iXWlnS
"Yes, now shut up and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfmBXgN4Od
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4oSggmeGh
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQxrVu2d57
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDgSEqNOsg
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddtb6OXIsX
They were at their 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozUPalavKS
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGRP2eYXlw
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQkN6QWJEA
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuCrkLqxCC
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iMpYJEMiY
"Alright, that's enough.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TGMB2qFx2
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa40MlF3MBw
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY1o5qn4rV
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYzGvKxNoU
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AWi0jPzgE
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc621j3oxVV
David walked in silence 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVrjqDLmkv
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuXbJLnhQ8
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5jA6ZiyfB
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ411DwHXKfC
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZDOU3KZX3
A walk that would've 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDymbOG0kOQ
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITjzfWqtqa
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL8BbzikuC
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfesCBEVpU
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqEcR3Z5dp
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcUGK3BfQV
"I'll go report to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHepwB1dOF6
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIcg9lgqT0
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGTHbOrbvi
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFN6XRslsp
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6agJUTeD9
winning Gob over.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV85QQWyGD
Francesca on the other 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxhz8FjT61
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2a85VXcQk
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdDxb899QP
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvWaraUeee
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpPQCrFWgB
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NAs3qUd4g
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm69OlhQWf
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHYu4qHqTc
David just wished he 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwakKC2OL7
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeAFWmObPB
well no one said being a parasite was easy.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEQJRoQDeA
Further down the camps 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmdDl9pKY9
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5DTdlGKEB
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa08GeWDEC
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55TQ3adHvz
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EJqsxUmFs
him. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pyfnnU8fb
"What'cha doing?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a8tHWA9Pc
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRaNCiuJo
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrzYjcIHXZ
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iU46HyZMG
David nodded. The boy 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vCtZdq6jy
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrRKkhZg2u
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCulSsNNXiW
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY5FCtWcC2
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtx9g2TuqV
read them someday."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWTKdQmbRv
Twitch muttered 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWmjBnS7tI
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ytOlNVdbu
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARrE79t6aj
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rImdcJpZd
Twitch started shaking 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUnbGweVWz
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJyar0lgFG
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFOjNaCTva
jump back even more than David did681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLrZHAQLxE
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK03wjudoaf
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80GAABc1bQ
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1dvb4z0hA
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapyQ1fFVHz
any instinct he had.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd57dWkmZEB
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbhLB4bvap
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix0oZdgiAy
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LV4bK9iZl
now.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli0s31sk5W
"Nonsense." Francesca 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Xcr5l8v6
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP9InrJ0CG
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMexrWlaapJ
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjlPVBLmjW
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRcoiPiz0K
dark red.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JRVXstwpK
Francesca spared Twitch 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zZKPFHBrB
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuFDudby41
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE4gQkEWAP
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCePkEwFep
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1uGLGmYL
was popularly called.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XrE0IYMje
The rebels not only 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclV6GkGdeB
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRpBB7U6Zv
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznXLvt2M2V
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCjBbUztao
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamDq2nZE9D
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuYEUCfiZY
to them. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmow1oa9J4Q
David attended one of 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xEcVeQx8h
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYoWWfo0w5
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VDxzgn3lX
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsKpFBOTO8
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y6K1uBjO7
learn anything new.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cFElcDJbC
Before leading her group681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7tGudK7Am
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa4QS860op
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoiOeMV9t0
"Of course, I'll see you681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KTGuxeaC4
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBksAw2fjO
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRmVS5HcVV
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbls1u6c9TZ
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZUdGjCA6
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfYyTM38oI
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IGVSQfFFW
remember his parents or family.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKahOszfqui
Francesca, unaware of 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC0l790Cjr
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQV9etsAD8
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rQfusLboR
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv0I5QDhf4
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHgAcr8Z2f
Nook was an interesting 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SgFVU14C8
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRUR8Mb5Nn
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXh6hIL13u
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iLoZMeDnV
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV37ddZnAcB
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CiVU966F7
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaRsESlPrr
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdqdvipZ5u
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8X7DiFzuP
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhd7VZfFUq
Nook grinned a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXXpjQqZZf
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnl0MRO3PC
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTetKhnYclG
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YdkDD2tWe
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg6Xzq54WB
backs.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoOeFX9C74
Thus any card games were681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2xSAB5XJ
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiQrmrzuTO
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ia3B2rDJ6
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP0txPBqno
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoda9TKzzP
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Udj1Qklz
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qriNMo5xz
did have.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJnSNTgq9G
Some did think it was a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsIDRaQd2v
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXATXviGHJ
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo3DFNLu3R
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPlCT2KPdK
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPllVYN2vlB
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rhBjhwoTb
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOyzIlvwS8
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3yIfkgeCn
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ4YzoWixe
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8WsChH4Mh
food has been.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKOQg0wwIM
They were the four main 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXDPPiAXEV
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvdgk4SL0D
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eHEMrGgLe
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c5J5qfQjj
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxE8E1qxz0
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqnEPMAyPw
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMbphlD3MA
and accepted them.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHruwQlThu
"''Ello boys." David 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZF7GQrYwb
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0lG9o3GLq
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfGsliA08M
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnzb6vlLRz
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBKu10cl2c
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BGZnJDSap
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TqNIkoT1c
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Q7jNI6oD
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgxSolexTi
least for his own benefit. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvDnxRG7ke
Nook was the first to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zZwy2grmj
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YPoT8mGes
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnnZRiG8hE
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR51T21miXM
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8POXzdCqsV
Tiruk, in answer, just 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteZ3baf4Aj
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudM5OG7nE1
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNQ7rhe5RS
Next card revealed. A 3 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPXEM2817i
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQBSRKACEL
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqn73BaulP
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9LVHLo29i
very happy, old, man.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhoviR4CRz
Since David didn't have 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbclzddEEdb
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqjnjst5sC
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOUWP7AhNw
would be safe to take a walk.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FpUmHO5z0
Another thing he took to681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi72PlMUYA
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPW6lyzgK5
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAYZaEaat8
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGaBQ0EvEN
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPycfnRkJaK
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuw5aljwnL
He also found various 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiqDIj0244
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64gMBTAXMN
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIWnzV9ZJU
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLRBfrwGp0
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z0uC8U044
being more careful.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ZHYSP2no
The caves themselves 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFKex7C0HM
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1qg1Hykd8
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE7Bht8kIO
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBpoPrsNVW
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg524lfPBJ
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s7OLtjkCf
himself that limited their exploring time.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFCFIEk0WK
That let David offer his681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32T9h4joTN
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVWeyEW8qs
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV56MW1X0rE
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2eV8ganDl
free more people for patrols and other duties.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tw8dBDcay
This time though he had a681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gBdEtSj3x
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a39uSBxGy
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YQoGabRff
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7SFfY8DA9
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPBGs1yjKf
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLekSm1z6P
That's where he was 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvzDns4ON0
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP9Hv5TTgB
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3BmZyH0wo
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny44BOf9Mz
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9l8oU6VEI
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBoq0kCKtg
better in his mind.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSbT0CyUGA
Thus grabbing a torch as681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq199d14Kt
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzuXpTY1AD
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PBrCd7CCU
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMiRD4uFe2
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hDtwAtey8
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFiRcTqVVt
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXodir0175d
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8cTD7PMuo
his mind wander and just blanked out. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxlYg7dlkp
Before he even noticed, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChlbSmyGW5
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnTQLpqVn0
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLWBkCCEH5
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRhXDseJgB
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkTYL0caEV
the smell of unwashed masses.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHmG2nEvxT
It did seem that David 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOa8NafTQW
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XXCLgQa2
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3o1dRKcrB
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglI9oRIMwm
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pw72LKygF
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHb9ZXown8
seemed to satisfy Stevie.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb0jXSjD1w
"Don't keep Francesca 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8NqqeJLb9
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzXvERkBOy
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiApQnLtP2e
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmT1ff5tJU
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQKrHep8IF
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOdlVrNCYg
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEYQ3sEXRy
walked away. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r1O2PyNUe
David smiled and waved 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBPxsvPbfT
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZpuUJDcbs
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllRAJKHfrm
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhihouAfde
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGYWTiZ8Mf
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwRsS5KiCG
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YCgg0CPf5
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s1MKQLoZJ
the paragon of virtue.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJMPupI1f5
Her room, as per usual, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzDPY81ATO
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPKPSIOzH7
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfzoFi00UF
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD8LJa3pDj
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22fWmOwjXN
to light up all caverns and pathways. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquZVmpG0tW
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4uhCm0zKA
David sat down with a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac1NTBGMkx
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO59EDfbf3v
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqmd8SxuqU
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLgyaFKlVN
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJV0nPcPwi
in a stream. Delicious.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo7rPJGffV
"So pleasantries first or business first?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yvzSewlIX
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrPWEh3vuJ
Francesca nodded and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLywoV50ENu
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jKkklpnKY
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYILHFcB2X
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX0WHweLUh
fast eating was paramount.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3yEp5uMZx
As expected David 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2LimmLNAr
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWkSmqvQ14
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpUtGPT4Y3
deliberate eater.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqVZWOf5JQ
"So on to business." She681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtSFvmJP8G
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16cqoNgpZm
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rRsTuPVta
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlPP5B2rgf
"In a way. It's someone 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcJVjks3or
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqL3JoEpkF
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o5VqGTdYl
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmXIp0fVBm
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQncO9dStkf
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dKatCtMKl
"Well, there is a 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXYtyvlfMf
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf5PH4f7TS
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLEtt7FF5q
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqv92ZMbK4
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtw8Ou8bMC
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qzG16N2FT
in a few days the edge of a different isle.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneW3qgAfqo
"We will also be moving 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUMVtnJJCw
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQOKELUWn
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpmlJ4IOX0
so some will know where to go."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjHAceca6g
"That's good, why did 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW0AXfP8Bg
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmL1bNz6My
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeMjtkaa7Q
was interested in the answer.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BzSf0oVuC
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE2HgWjBdP
David nodded, not a full681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdvNxbTHrM
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasvzJnYwVP
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0jW0lOTOx
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMerFCDYAne
"Thank you." She said 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqltksSDIYG
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82bcnhO8gD
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja2RYXTJcg
regroup at a specified point."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC2hDTLwAM
"How will you get 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI09oCx2c6
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NgZYiGHrD
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwyHfo5nUE
city.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOwixYTXM
"We have small sky 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRI3nqwxbn
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0j1fheQo4
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0SWxKulI6
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqipeMpASL
group."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuf7bbOBAL
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sAdgXVMDb
She gave him a sad smile681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5teIZpkT7
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NWma21hS1
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HHM91ZCf7
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvba06daxgh
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wXLBi7y8A
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW9H53MNWr
their past in the past.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5d81rAGZX
"Now then, back to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMLPnEa8bb
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoPH6fVJKM
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XcEwZJsjl
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OHDTj0Fk
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsB8pvrsLl
"You'll have it. I'm 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHYRoR53PN
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb8CxHBslE
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOWoDDAe8B
on a rock hard surface.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zreZT7JbN
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUxYXMORxL
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn2gFS66tY
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOelkK7sFKS
"Sadly no, I'm as 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg7gzpjW20
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6VMtqS1e5
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPBxk2SCqZ
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a6aDy41D7
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0pcdULZQA
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s1bPAY4bQ
"Do not worry, I am 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNXr5RuFEg
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4RUWu8E2e
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB8bQWoPSj
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKlWyS326A
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXZwqfTYE0
"We're under attack, they found us."
