691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3c3qM8jRh
Davids relief didn't 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCSHf3JjQ6
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ7isy8kDR
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbPjHGmROF
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8YJ6hLomC
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcOMpdZ6gX
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QvhtLnfA0
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lu9cH6xZp
better off than Angela.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeMJ7BQ7WW
"Breathe slowly and calm691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFHpF9eW5h
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuLm2l4BnX
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSpKu6nRVS
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3EIWddhuI
got steadier.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w9TR37b3w
"Useless." Gob said as 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3VsVGwQZs
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lRzXetAhn
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYSBLouhos
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA9elRqCAQ
After his conversation 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNSZwNYay1
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGboPZYCTS
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCosAm5IMN
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8IYRXYgTW
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnDwU0Lrkd
"To get new weapons and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqWlv7AiE9
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6iA6Rpsxf
drying his shoes from any excess water.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw3vIkJHFX
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXyPEvJ5dj
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvEBbXKu9e
"No!" Angela stood up 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U3QmitHDI
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDdPBAm6uX
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKUVyIUbMk
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25pRb0RmG2
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyKFp5PIcO
"If I could do anything 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X0han0sYU
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDbSWm4dmE
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JdEgen7Jh
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ScdJ3QR3s
us. Now get up."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZxY1Kwefk
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzQj8IAzzp
Thus, they began their 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZNsHY4P9Z
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7FrR3TlYq
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZoM4XzIOc
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDS0L27VY
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI85pKxYRaP
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKirDo00NF
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHHtPscj05
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmea0hnZ5R2
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP8oDgpsEG
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry06NftIWA
The only one not 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgGTNU3sO9
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Ixg4a85e
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm3i9V6gWy
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfIqnxMvEC
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlLUpyDO7C
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2RrTi4XQT
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5yLdX958Q
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMmCqbFhwj
was no more fighting, David didn't know.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyMfMHk6vE
David hoped that 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8F4JFxtRY
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnFnf26KzM
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhohWb7wY4A
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0KhAC5FMd
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUw1ucyej8
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJNEF6I7R3
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAaMLzNkms
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfua00bu3xc
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJqxBP0u20
David slouched to the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ5zdawggr
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDTgAjjTNG
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWTnd5tK6M
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdr7uPVWU9
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFk87IarBz
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BoBT8e6Ua
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji8gcG4Ami
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcPtHTV11r
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNgS1CXgRg
No answer. ~Oh hells, do691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ162X7HpxuY
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltNjJDurdL
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowaOdfc6tH
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFG4s7KDPF
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuRBQHFLRQ
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlgmy48vao
against putting it on her.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJcJW9Jpy5
"I...I should've been 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp98Rf46RA
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYYsVbDebV
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4rTvT4N3G
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k8zYkhs4y
David's mouth.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1g39peMaF
"Why weren't you? Now, I691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN9FwTReNH
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsdI1gz7lg
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObP3tfpBUu
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLKJQOF02W
"It happened so fast. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqpyS4KLb3
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xO9SlIBe5
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEvlyfauOi
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD6jxdGx9k
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyO1qKDDtV
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgnxq7bW1X
to herself again691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfEFBma5hR
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAu5FboPjn
The mighty hunter 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaF6VAaXp2
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5SCaoTwDj
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi5DBOdhRO
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI2S9Hl6mj
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan8s1RULM9
Their respite didn't 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpaJLuGjf
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqi7po44Z
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBX8G1nnLH
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP3xK1m2eK
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxmdQZI73c
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIixPvbNtB
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTg7VFIs5
that skill to actual good use.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEw5K4e0QW
Thankfully their walk 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaMbOgCPAP
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKJ1vyKmqx
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpOupFsO1l
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqd5yZ3yLg
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcyMR721vf
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNITqTfuFO
Gob motioned for them to691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDg7OBoRQB
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRn1XVwRWt
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOeVXb4v7K
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgdYGbZvFa
conveniently carried on his shoulder.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA64EB6Gr0
Fly boats were made out 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0kuEWVtcE
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxF3dWrze2
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsbifFWE46
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmacg5serUq
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4HGIu8wG1
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhWyCZxoda
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw4nsXTS3p
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW2wKllbLY
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88xdFMZ2di
or smiled. A frown.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9db0kEv1pN
He put the boat down on 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgHJP6jgin
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCunG7RpLef
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCDWJK0kbL
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrxyixFxWr
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtp6yc2QiA
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXsJg5QIYP
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTknYvaXFgh
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhdWTHYSrg
making his wounds ache.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCsQ74WfFH
Gob put the boat over 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciPUCbvbGw
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu2TtxoI9M
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzuYSPNeXf
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm7RQDMBxY
the other. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxUSV80Pl8
Gob handed David the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD7Tilah1I
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLGeBgfjTn
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobWrl3Ezq
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEEEw3PCvI
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69a6T14tq3
believed this was definitely one of those fates.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzNBdfTpvX
All though David did 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSkOiqlnyn
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpILQss54cK
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPPz2gzgc1
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRzeKbRB2Q
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZrdioX9Y
by the sun.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhv8D7tcri
They all disembarked, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi7uzy2j9c
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZBHlWoOuU
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtL9wyhTZU
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDbeIvn0DW
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiw9AUpguZ
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7MXvvOUS6
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8AW6GihE2
"How do they manage to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVqrbjXYEM
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B25kXbKBR
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K0ynUAayZ
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkbQaY8BNM
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSabb7ycEfe
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTygDsvLvOp
David nodded, the answer691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2x4Fz6wgw
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4keWzmwyV
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9kVcVWQZM
One thing David noticed,691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hoz1EKpSm
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23CvtSCTuu
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPTGlnKQW2
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrxIIhGKY5
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV8fWgEws3
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjKaUF5TE8
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgebFuTv60
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ2ET0iccS
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDEoa3AO6E
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpudgcJREf
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgEbKwcrgH
It made him remember 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGNKHhj5Qn
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pV9UKxUio
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEFOikwNO6
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4SU6Eefm8
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcc6UfLT4Y
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85VK6jRTYZ
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex0fg0okuP
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfUnuTgcy1
while ago.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbly0EUDYx
Just as previously they 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblzpYLDqc5
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSMWJFM7HJ
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK5MqSMVBS
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHqGQKKm79
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYxQmpH9VU
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieffQ7dUv0
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwv4JHsmqL
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM15y66pJC
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2Nucwta73
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HgBCastjn
David was apprehensive 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGofJBKMZDb
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiLwcFm2wk
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrXRzYlZx9
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm7NUSS3tK
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrYQboj0CT
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6b92Q00L8
Before they all turned 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnHsCiU2Ze
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCMcfsEM8Y
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFTX5JnDys
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dSHgC403o
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvUR2BNwOr
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIyxRUt4LM
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2xuygDGlN
Sadly the sweet dream 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbJgyZZCuS
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppi8gEpzZA
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzETftjShBr
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBihNcgpSx
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb3ywSMsWl
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ1QzUQp71
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBiUS1Tzmm
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAEI1XvvOm
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJlm2aiglU
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmIrHoTyeQ
David shook his head and691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Qwi5p4gm
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCTDkrXtty
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxABLHeTH7
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmQ9OsPc48
too.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1MWNY2IML
They spent the morning 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIm0SLK5FW
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6nIyKIEic
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7SQzBjxxR
crowd. ~691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmTYL2ayyU
After they were all done691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmZ9HESoJv
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0epTwIbGG
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYvVHsxFdu
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoln8XIhLrZ
Positivity all around.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrh92yRksc
Soon they reached the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKorKEM4lb
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi56qFPAXw
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtB2z7p4L7
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvrJN9t5NT
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQ02OsdBZ
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUgylDNg15
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhffYV5f7C
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkFe7WoTKP
everyone won.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ6q3PqVjQ
Gob seemed to be pretty 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NyOG2WZpr
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn9D7ey23y
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8im18hivwg
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9H8V5vwLb
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9AC19Ys1F
making her way behind David.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpx2Q9RCp0
"Where's Lev?" Gob 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgg6RR6iEe
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PStcBQJ4V
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup2Lol4i76
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs55Cj6Kfh
Reaching the middle 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bluEmagmt
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakUyPpVbEy
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4IlNPEmLZ
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsyrYgTiLa
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUTnips9wF
and quickly put a knife to his throat.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUTd5A8J9c
Before David could 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfEHLNdXPw
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYg2TndSx3
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLizP5UWBg2
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8zxeP74d1
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovPs3FS8aX
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdhNkYljZf
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwCEx253gx
The captains facial 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61HRtkLMyq
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgB5UFoTkD
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdskgioqa97
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIILTUfg9oM
"Enough of this!" 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeuIsdczHy
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9oALMU9kF
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9dHFVkMAT
towards them.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQMZ4AKs7V
David felt himself flung691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtKybBlhzC
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnzwzNLcnS
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnA3eeu15k
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeKebmYMHf
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGp6UfrUhd
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGV3hJ3Apk
overwhelmed him.
