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.
