630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98ccLLKa4E
Davids relief didn't 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzkzvnUoVb
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0UvjhRxZO
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6xqikGrGE
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsvbqZERxm
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwzwiRi60S
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKVWhL7FBH
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqigvBCWpUK
better off than Angela.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOciboW66
"Breathe slowly and calm630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY39W4Jmrw
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OeUg18MID
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtWBMS3P62
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPUkvTsnKM
got steadier.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm26DzkPl7Y
"Useless." Gob said as 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SfqBygMqv
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ40cKaP7Q
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPMAisC5u4
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvayVNR2U3O
After his conversation 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecZM9puGdc
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcE6KoNL9N
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGpc6kZvan
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYCreGu1LM
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB5cxLmuxp
"To get new weapons and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh39qXzLFZ
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzJ4nbO2X
drying his shoes from any excess water.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjji09jSr7
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6jpItNyTz
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡperT2ee8Cg
"No!" Angela stood up 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdmaSXjQRU
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeY9GfhoHL
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvjusQwgYZ
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRFVf1beXg
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz46CKpZ3Qm
"If I could do anything 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRXgP0cqGa
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke0jynHnaI
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtueAaeVHL
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFp6omCdwV
us. Now get up."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYwlzcr42E
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn4zkJN7NZ
Thus, they began their 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLqGIet1Q
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgbscp7jOo
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IRaiktLko
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujjcx8KHyN
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnzDNvMWJq
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF5aSPdxQp
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQRKYIWiLh
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZEEAjmqgB
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5y0O2013
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo0eAniG1n
The only one not 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf5aeelo4P
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDpZJbC4Wu
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9y26Udy7O
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGv82SHXPz
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcwxN7cMHa
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIuLI0id45
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlcxWomeI8
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskH5fnzl4N
was no more fighting, David didn't know.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc8ktkdglf
David hoped that 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxIpijIEDo
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s5WHS3V06
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3emkAEvrh
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZks9kYD37s
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRijtHMNWNp
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI93HXgeg1p
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB0M4IFa2I
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ9jhqflOF
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRQJcll3Bs
David slouched to the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUgLqdqXzO
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR8uJcZUQ4
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVhkEDEVde
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDEXBlkOdX
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6te4BBRZ
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04nsVlVHk
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtvS3N8SdS
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I6HPtw72a
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hZLQtPAFW
No answer. ~Oh hells, do630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzSr7o57Ae
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE9byJKiu7
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jRCh5PvyH
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg5alzbt8P
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rdoowf4u
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmjtNU2Jcg
against putting it on her.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdspTdEf4t
"I...I should've been 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XgY48oOqD
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU8TDqIIeb
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T3A9jQz6z
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNDWwBY7iu
David's mouth.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGd1ohjEq6
"Why weren't you? Now, I630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKALBZfIC8
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkHPjN6OJ6
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5AUC6Fvet
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhcGBaiKGS
"It happened so fast. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6U8HZoEop
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZWbIHmE1
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsreRATuUP
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN6xlURyF3
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC1U8WABxW
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5JqKWa3ai
to herself again630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe7DrNRkVh
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtENazvNjZv
The mighty hunter 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiZRGtqfgL
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OJGFAE0SX
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrg8HGW9q
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsUFxWVCqG
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUaXrKmAy3
Their respite didn't 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng6UA05atH
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7h31Ca5HT
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbJ2OTlpUW
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IC1dZ1dCS
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQshMyqKTG
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcitvdIYlx
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5NKItcEb6
that skill to actual good use.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vjuqvErP
Thankfully their walk 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xso7syLVu
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lPtpnfOf2
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw8VeeUbGZ
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLLBOYwwK8
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvkn7F5gl0
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDAwblZNb
Gob motioned for them to630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp5UM1Wc78
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsCsY5WU1v
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsTW9V7Uas
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmBKZOsYcl
conveniently carried on his shoulder.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nP0fWHp2i
Fly boats were made out 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkwB3L1f9S
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I7ChiKhjV
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JuOdkAnLp
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGCUVcrhET
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEFKd7L6A3
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatBzrqrG1F
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtWVHUQjtp
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVkDZTF8Rk
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDC5bNryg
or smiled. A frown.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw3NNwlpcV
He put the boat down on 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SnkO8R8Bw
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNGuwXPxdj
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR18XN74j5A
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMaSzIqJO9
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmtgUhFRr3
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch9aYfVyOX
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcW58u90V6
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdapVz1DXjd
making his wounds ache.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2wycYImvq
Gob put the boat over 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAorYlMD0V0
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQf22rUICD
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNNWqT1RCN
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs8udbNCRf
the other. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczFarRoVPZ
Gob handed David the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZmzo1IDmj
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUGneVm7aJ
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM471rivzSd
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdFdV6Dp2G
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL0sngGhHs
believed this was definitely one of those fates.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzr64YHMUA
All though David did 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28p7VUG0D
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A70hMVUvd
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wmCY2HS0N
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCoX1CNetS
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Vy5JxSXt
by the sun.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRs2lDcveF
They all disembarked, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzE1HZMNl
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xUASlsLI9
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsiBJxeVwP
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQHi52Fl20
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y1rMR4lGs
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiNrLhoK11
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJLGsRFet
"How do they manage to 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLFtxirENg
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb7papWhK9
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WymIlc3F7
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iJSIcpdIC
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp1R3KkzIa
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ZbEwGsuI
David nodded, the answer630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLnEkGFzdT
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCvO2aaOIB
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz2M36iWcT
One thing David noticed,630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlC7EbhHx7
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfyO9t0Pp9
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBScPEVQw8y
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6gqkEJG4
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICfnBo3o6L
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN1V5XP4Rm
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfA9NuWCgO
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgbhb8n5BM
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9mANwvTML
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwD3GLlAHa
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkxscszyCR
It made him remember 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAzrubuSpI
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0KFg7TGHd
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKf5YRfflv
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahOjHw5PDj
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeGglVwrxT
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GYFk8umcF
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDwuOx30Lp
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvyL9NObbY
while ago.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyoC5ym2uV
Just as previously they 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGrxekhmiM
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjME9cLtUij
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUOw3lY85Y
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19OyZflwbC
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgV5DVdTjS
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWjG3jEys
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFrJkvMYqo
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lbbdtVUWf
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnyscuY8z0
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1g1QAqY04
David was apprehensive 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT74q2sPmR
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5NgfUWZiZ
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJl5AcBDJj
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEViIlPyswB
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9iBNNyGVI
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJGE9EqjZv
Before they all turned 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNm93Y2g0e
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8EYvZrW0H
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIvdk5lfl0
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PgX5lNEmJ
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmGGPZ1YEI
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhOQEQ1z63
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgioEYHaRH0
Sadly the sweet dream 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3167zxVBV
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXJesRAqX
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbo3Z3dA6O
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRjRAY5rFp
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEcLWYYkI
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qzlmuSP2
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbk5IPgwVL
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhMDA29bBL
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAIgsXi7el
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGW5JjHOJO
David shook his head and630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEryTGYVt6
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxCaiiCPQR
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGxWeCrINH
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8GCW0iwRT
too.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFHpCxYgwX
They spent the morning 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxN0HvvUQM
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKd6ejRwRI
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DkBwsZXb3
crowd. ~630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mf3yRoSFL
After they were all done630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ571NZMQ8M4
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGBQ204Lqz
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErYa6glEF2
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYYuoCzW2O
Positivity all around.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD0qjjoZzp
Soon they reached the 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27EIAX8BVx
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOCZumzANw
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvn7RXSzHP
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaqYoZRew6
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgHb3YSsUh
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlybjvDxkr3
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPzKvGBGhf
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b12IKGG2x
everyone won.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73pDxzWWI2
Gob seemed to be pretty 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRyANR13g1
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUxWVhdCNT
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j00PSCWLr
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA8CY7u499
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Ru45OAJe
making her way behind David.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHGJkR5DfA
"Where's Lev?" Gob 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrue7c3PWuG
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYA0v9dqbX
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh11RDTaNXI
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfkYZwGDUy
Reaching the middle 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5F8rLtlHm
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6MPVZDYgP
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI83TtJDdqk
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSZnrT8Bya
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGPuy44C1I
and quickly put a knife to his throat.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpy1nuGP5D
Before David could 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZ0o38pBy
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvqzZHfXdc
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVBekCzxNf
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuUabuH779
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7tbELHHHc
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX3YkTnSFZ
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKotegfV42
The captains facial 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH0A2yC032
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b5ilA1oU1
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfX0M2xxyL
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEQjX4nxpB
"Enough of this!" 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6KmYnbxIv
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LpA4FSZeb
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztkiBRMECg
towards them.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDsxzUEOTl
David felt himself flung630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPAcbgrq7z
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH29VsoIe4x
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oQg6flXkY
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BIzwuFiyg
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRHxFlByWD
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm7m052pfz
overwhelmed him.
