If David didn't dislike 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTMJnFeSUp
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W0huydyoQ
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2CxBbZZzr
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxLNOlxQ0z
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhTQsofQKX
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXWEICt0BD
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGQwuF4PMw
would just bite him to death first.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEa5lcq8z1
His shoes were 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hyt0nBg7Z
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEdq6D7M7Y
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF1bKz8gjO
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKmFeMWbe
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwbqv7IQ16
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYkPaAXu6C
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrh8Mczy7X
from the various insects.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1pq1NORC3
There was a silver 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0KGHVaMee
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EDd1MDAO4
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV38jVinKW
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAebXaM9wW6
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oVUdIS6lO
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tyvBR94jp
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAR7XegbWi
Thankfully, Gob left 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4OpWxLyWg
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGthGjOYf8f
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHF52EBKZl
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEDiwSf1WP
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt81aOXaVD7
be. ~747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMspR0HX2g9
While Gob did give a 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTLoVMdERv
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIIaKVoclQ
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse9maAgubZ
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsNo5J4RJj
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsELsX58Ha
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhumXeclrKa
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlNPer6Dw0
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsruZu29zh
David nodded, even 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAkIUvTO4r
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjhM3OXFmt
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Rbj9uKFc
voice was getting more excited.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXyqTRENyv
"From the commonwealth 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BvXRtFNLt
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHPNMEO2s4
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIseLQIzlY
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuFk5ind9Y
gambling.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MfDFQpYpn
Denise bumbled his head 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRv0A7HKfz
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJvBqzbEp0
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvEeFDxSJE
after..." Denis trailed off 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL1h6ym07u
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnxMTqCszS
Denise brightened up at 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihcvy6y5oj
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQKsm2GGO4
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxNvPWZP4C
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpwBiCbHfh
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzQhOYXz6U
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6CYEDBAtR
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuS9iH0Nx4
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zf3n7DG1U
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Lc6BJJ4e
Denise's eyes widened as747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAAFyKv4oe
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPr3Q91h4m
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEaE9TZHOG
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZelURbX3C7
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22TqDX1yxH
"Alright enough chatter 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RHr6Y2if
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVcf8poafd
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKyvWH3UxH
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjSvvrzlTz
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUNuclzYcc
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP2Ml3yEaD
Gathering all their 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcLO6bCA0Z
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7f3hvRciB
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQykuzbMe7z
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztN1GG8RcE
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITwA7Jz8d7
respectful.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryi8KuYrwq
"Sorry, but no." Gob 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKqxEIAI3P
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9LDfDHRGb
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLQSACTbYN
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXQp9giwxE
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEaOrEQdGa
the tough journey but no such luck747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbO6vQfo8M
David was impressed by 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNX1F8Mcdb
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdK31ncdLW
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXf0MfgYhl
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49Sgy76i0L
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnil4PNuUFN
Gob nodded. "Good you're747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjg9lb12Bt
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMWUYLyvDt
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY4pwt0CVG
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEDzABVleL
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8PaWt7d1O
the ships he served on.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHxPKrgll
Everyone began settling 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekypLlnFx
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls5dw3yeMJ
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhICBZCdCiq
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pr0gMGsOk
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYIz53MAOM
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvsdQjjnaz
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN20reASTGc
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSryoA18Djz
Everyone else finished 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2qwh14cfR
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8d1VfZMSA
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXph4OitUW
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrlpW383R1
the big wide world.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlVgqa7M6W
After a while, David 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCShsmeeyi
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWUQIR9fNw
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuB6iF8pzQ
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLQO7HZkyq
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9xwqVXCLw
some trouble sleeping."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4paO0nw7KN
Angela looked at the 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnwZSYxVWR
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh8BSCFmKJ
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBjOoBrbU9
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRNz25ALoq
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryWa5kUcCs
"Everyone needs a loving747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD6jOdzAFt
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNyTc8f6qp
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o7Dv3bnKt
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2k4Qs6zdE
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6zOA96rXB
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuyPMbCNKE
David nodded. "Aye I was."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3tYUXZ3Lj
"But how'd you survive?"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMEOdvlbnK
"I'm just lucky I 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZypn7gFCu6
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPGpuQPCV1
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v8sbnzDzM
yourself."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuB3qIErJy
Angela blushed scarlet 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeRwidsR5b
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcCCYCUJQ
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJO7COZe9Y
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQutKq5qn1D
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7axKEAOhI
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKtx9B3ndU
reading."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonZfLnkwml
"He sounds like a good 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcAbZjAgNS
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0knPxr0A5s
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8zeeLGF4c
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCUtRCbQ3c
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hnXisBB2r
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGaaZJSQnu
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pFYq39QcK
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPhYDTL8eA
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qExEZldDu
Angela quickly rubbed 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTUwek7BvC
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP2pqBWGSR
that." She added with an awkward laugh.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsod3j2OTk8
"Don't worry about it, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3kJ7MhhKq
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5NrMVqQsh
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQxW5sRuKD
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhlU4yy6Yg
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4XhGydR6y
smile.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWbzxeL0a8
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ5qTNhPwv
The next person on watch747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfxcFCiw4O
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLRLur0fVx
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wfoEYZDrP
name, quietly not to wake up others.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8oVYUOTlR
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ZzEnH9en
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHpMC3r53P
Denis beamed at the words and slumped down besides David. "So, do you really think I'd be able to do it. Go all around Astaria?"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8BbUlY1Dq
"Sure, with me showing 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5pZ6t0O0Z
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusUcRVYQuh
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBtXfsFxbj
scrap."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVS1ABgxwK
Denis looked down a bit 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBeQp3Tr8e
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYUbEnBEXj
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5echUFwEH
what I can or can't do."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46jGZ7jnD7
David nodded. He 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p2MlvjdeH
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLgbaorI3
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6HMVyQ734
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCfp1Zu1EY
Denis nodded, cheering 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzuIr8Px5G
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT56ZwYZXw7
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mvFE3VtCg
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv2YTKcmVk
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fuJ1DOv0j
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhOxfkPpDt
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTTRvn1mAm
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUknzMyeLe
Either way David wasn't 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5M2k2wrHS
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqHPDZpy1F
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAAo0m09zT
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I2aAG3LFd
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvk5nAA0gg
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JMiVPHkmt
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTguLwZLLoq
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM48Ie9MYw
After a lull in his 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h7QnGMgn4
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQIl9ElRgT
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuyumKapy
"Oh! Well we think 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgTxHbMAJJ
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzLPsGcZCq
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMt3K22nYq
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR7eVbtFhs
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbKVrhfn0w
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHUCywaqSk
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui58lg8rPm
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx13AqLeHD1
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIWura0Dij
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWFP0Gyass
happy songs.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi6VWSuKQH
After Denis's watch 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC96DoGxQ5d
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzXgIIbaHm
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1it6YPeB3P
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiXWMwSOCc
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMUzcxwWEm
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7MQhCpEX
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirurDLSY0D
With a sight David 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA48H5yZWX4
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMevEOvdq5A
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ7k84rxhu
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgmgyiJiNe
As Rock continued his 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevCer9R4a6
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTYMIoeTUq
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEvHSIE354
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBhJXVsmA9
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t3Y7W5bjc
To David's dismay the 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH0Vx2xp6g
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oT2x3wWPb
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwH58D6CmL
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJiWWxxGsp
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtPW2eOGJx
gruesome journey.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBvTLN3wxZ
As soon as he closed his747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2UqnV30Io
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0dP1rutXs
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5gmkrJltP
"Oh fall off, you cloud 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPraS1oN6D
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqyL0e7jrj
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkh474Vn7D
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnPCGr2Owa
him. 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0MKEG1WJW
During the walk Denis 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ3L8ickYt
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjVwmjwveK
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItk2Wb5Sjh
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNFn431U5o
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C5PjMtTVI
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.747Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QAL0dxBko
