Ether possession. A 539Please respect copyright.PENANAlXk9uJiyu2
phrase used when a being born from, or in, the ether. Beings such as the539Please respect copyright.PENANAY8uQUC1dYQ
popularly called demons. Full bodily control is impossible, thus 539Please respect copyright.PENANAxGrTtA13jH
whispered thoughts or controlling the flow of the ether when casted is 539Please respect copyright.PENANAmpsdY22vBp
enough to classify a person as possessed.539Please respect copyright.PENANAaW9A66DFAi
Many believe that mages 539Please respect copyright.PENANAlPVQf09xlt
are the most vulnerable group to suffer from ether possession but that 539Please respect copyright.PENANAd6U8KzAJGK
could not be further from the truth. Mages are the most common to suffer539Please respect copyright.PENANAfBAShYLwmD
from ether possession but that also means that they are trained to 539Please respect copyright.PENANAGJCmYe5O9I
tackle possessions.539Please respect copyright.PENANA1sOOVnGhr5
No, the peasants who 539Please respect copyright.PENANAkHNTBVwAm7
have only heard about the ether and its inhabitants from rumours and 539Please respect copyright.PENANADvz5qf0UZK
hearsay are the most vulnerable. Their minds being feeble, they're 539Please respect copyright.PENANAGYfftGEoV9
easily influenced. The popular case of 'Bloody Jack' that happened in 539Please respect copyright.PENANAtVmxMN7iTl
the Republic Isles, comes to mind. Where a poor peasant was possessed 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEilnqO3Im8
and an ether being manipulated him into murdering his whole village. 539Please respect copyright.PENANAglEY9QGgk5
Having said that not 539Please respect copyright.PENANAi8XHmjU5oP
everyone can be possessed. For someone to be afflicted by an ether being539Please respect copyright.PENANAZLIo5GteTQ
that person must have some of his presence, or soul, in the ether 539Please respect copyright.PENANARAWx9KBFgN
world. Mages qualify as they borrow from the ether to use magic. Thus, 539Please respect copyright.PENANAYynV1xNwpC
their presence there being constant.539Please respect copyright.PENANAfErSFlu92z
Second group that 539Please respect copyright.PENANAlqiWge7oQU
qualifies, are the ones who have died once but managed to come back to 539Please respect copyright.PENANAy1Fejvffwe
life. While it is still debatable whether we go to the ether or 539Please respect copyright.PENANAxAXm0yP105
somewhere beyond when we die, it has been proven that we must pass 539Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ1bq5lVZL
through the ether, and once someone does a part of them stays there, 539Please respect copyright.PENANAf4uOw8W7h0
forever.539Please respect copyright.PENANAKs7XPAcsUS
Third group that 539Please respect copyright.PENANAYBA28sfhci
qualifies would be the ones who are insane or have mental diseases. It's539Please respect copyright.PENANAPq9ci7ZhdT
currently unknown why they're susceptible. It's possible that they lose539Please respect copyright.PENANAQc0AZvhsTr
a part of themselves in the ether, but research is currently 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEjAB6GZ3MQ
inconclusive. 539Please respect copyright.PENANA1uHXeBjZl5
Something else to note 539Please respect copyright.PENANAxWeW7K3urH
is resonance. The more similar the demon is to the person it's trying to539Please respect copyright.PENANAfKtXKmBz7K
take possession off the more successful it will be. In some cases even 539Please respect copyright.PENANAwNDLcPVWZo
opening gateways to the material world or even affecting the material 539Please respect copyright.PENANAcHxJ0Van6w
world...539Please respect copyright.PENANAlwrhvRUfVc

539Please respect copyright.PENANAtYC3z3Es1l
Who would've thought 539Please respect copyright.PENANAVgWdFrpdm5
that walking on sharp rocks would be more painful than walking on the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAOPwrB28QKC
soft ground? Not David, as he almost exclaimed and shouted a few words 539Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Ig5ItuqM
no one would be too proud off once he stepped inside the cave. With his 539Please respect copyright.PENANAiNvqCNb2Fw
shoes diminished to almost nothing the rocks were jabbing into his feet 539Please respect copyright.PENANAQfurok5bQG
causing scars and painful blisters to appear, each step more agonizing 539Please respect copyright.PENANACEBWLeSCb3
than the other.539Please respect copyright.PENANAtVCXzOkF8F
Thankfully the walk 539Please respect copyright.PENANAX5fv9y067v
didn't take long as they stopped at what seemed a dead end, with a 539Please respect copyright.PENANAzIqHpw0U8y
protruding rock standing in their way. Gob knocked on the stone a few 539Please respect copyright.PENANADwZf0pEl2o
times, in what seemed to be a rhythm and the wall moved open revealing a539Please respect copyright.PENANAPywhLemQqr
group of people standing guard. They quickly admitted Gobs group, some 539Please respect copyright.PENANAbsoEuzTUJt
giving David a puzzled look, and moved the rock behind them, closing the539Please respect copyright.PENANANBiZH33Iop
pathway from any praying eyes.539Please respect copyright.PENANApV4eVu8yTj
As David entered the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAAUm8zDoRFy
hideout of the rebels he was hit by a smell that reminded him of home. A539Please respect copyright.PENANAyr9rll3AHC
smell of unwashed men and women and the residue of gunpowder and smoke.539Please respect copyright.PENANAofzBwFk0Ik
Why if he wasn't surrounded by stone but metal he would think he was 539Please respect copyright.PENANAxID9klkbA1
back on a ship. Of course, there were other differences as well: the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAjDlZdDQl1x
cavern that the group entered was huge, larger than any one room inside a539Please respect copyright.PENANAyYOOgCWaBr
ship. David guessed this was their main room since he could see tents,539Please respect copyright.PENANAncR2gCcXmJ
cooking fires and children playing around. David glanced up and could 539Please respect copyright.PENANAZjOv8XXikX
see the ceiling high up, with its sharp ends pointing down, possibly 539Please respect copyright.PENANAkNdKDvTC3R
waiting to fall on an unsuspecting victim. He definitely would not be 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEcwuKc9gKa
able to reach it, unlike the ceiling of a ship.539Please respect copyright.PENANA7rthXmzucb
"Get a move on. We need 539Please respect copyright.PENANAFGf2Huv5jE
to speak to her ladyship" Gob said to the group pushing through a throng539Please respect copyright.PENANAw3CjKvX2nh
of people that came out to meet them. David got pulled immediately 539Please respect copyright.PENANAqLPcZDSRpP
after him, stumbling, while the rest of the group said their apologies 539Please respect copyright.PENANAFVgxEjWEzP
and rushed to catch up.539Please respect copyright.PENANAINM9ZahCZQ
Gob led them down one of539Please respect copyright.PENANAL50JPWkyzQ
the pathways leading further into the cave, away from the main cavern, 539Please respect copyright.PENANAccNY5Mbfa6
the path was lit by a mix of torches and lanterns. 539Please respect copyright.PENANAToDF68oYVS
After a few more turns 539Please respect copyright.PENANAtkyIRSXL9a
and twists they seemed to have reached their destination, a secluded 539Please respect copyright.PENANA6nbf6Gsxb6
door in front of which there were a few guards. Gob gave them David's 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEjmspYBKjK
rope. "Don't leave your eyes off him and no talking." He then waved the 539Please respect copyright.PENANArhjJ8CXUxI
rest of the group onward with him. "You guys come with me." And with 539Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9Ccp3NRLs
that he went inside, followed by the rest of the children.539Please respect copyright.PENANASmaEqQ10zG
"So, what do you guys do539Please respect copyright.PENANAVMLv3v9Cru
for fun round here?" He asked his new guards, but they seemed to be as 539Please respect copyright.PENANA1QNLmVjwob
mute as Rock. David imagined it was fear of Gob that made them as mute 539Please respect copyright.PENANAhVMKEImtII
as a rock. After giving a few minutes and not receiving an answer David 539Please respect copyright.PENANAxIYPwN0OYU
shrugged and leaned on the wall. Slowly sliding down to hit the ground, 539Please respect copyright.PENANARQb9OWomKY
it was uncomfortable and his back hurt after sliding on the jagged 539Please respect copyright.PENANAaDbkbz9bLd
rocks, but the relieve his legs felt overcame any sense of pain.539Please respect copyright.PENANAcEYGyPG2ul
David even managed a 539Please respect copyright.PENANATYopTfYDgH
nap, .but the blissful moment of quiet ended when Gob came back to pick 539Please respect copyright.PENANAtBed3n3SUo
David up. As per usual form he didn't wait for David to get up and just 539Please respect copyright.PENANA4uGVsizsVl
yanked him up with force. Which resulted in David waking up and diving 539Please respect copyright.PENANAbZPlGCL3L3
headfirst into the ground.539Please respect copyright.PENANALmVuFh848A
"Ow..." David managed as his nose started bleeding again, not fully healed from Gob's painful jabs before.539Please respect copyright.PENANAmrBc0RVC5r
Gob grunted and pulled the rope again. "Come on." David could see one of the guards smirking as he passed the doorway. 539Please respect copyright.PENANATpazYyAbQz
David entered the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAQS7mvskWal
secluded chamber and was greeted with something that he hasn't seen for a539Please respect copyright.PENANAEn3oiBPBfo
while, a bed. Even if the bed took most of his attention he could see 539Please respect copyright.PENANAiQos9Llrza
the rest of the group standing behind Gob and a woman. Who David could 539Please respect copyright.PENANA7yUaTvMO6g
tell was royal, they always had that air around them.539Please respect copyright.PENANAAit298gMDu
"Ah this must be our honored guest." She said giving David a wide smile, but not looking in his direction.539Please respect copyright.PENANAAeNLxoQAEv
"Indeed." Gob replied, humbly, subdued. David was astonished that Gob knew what it meant to be, let alone sound, so.539Please respect copyright.PENANAMCegqGyOE0
"Perfect, leave us 539Please respect copyright.PENANAkKMuYs47bx
alone." She nodded with a smile to the children and they bade their 539Please respect copyright.PENANA7eXy2wWyv4
farewells. The only three people left were Gob, David and the woman.539Please respect copyright.PENANA3ytjAr7pyc
"Yes Gob?"539Please respect copyright.PENANAKHOAogu8XA
"I don't believe it's safe to leave you with him without anyone here, my lady."539Please respect copyright.PENANA6hXYbLGdBR
The woman gave Gob a warm smile." I appreciate the concern, but I hardly see a point in killing me in the middle of our camp."539Please respect copyright.PENANAGHYdpgBdY0
Gob walked up to her a bit closer with intensity in his voice, "if you die, the rebellion dies. If you die..."539Please respect copyright.PENANAui2395D4mr
"Enough." She said sharply, not loud but commanding. "I know you care for me, but I'm no child. Leave, Gob." 539Please respect copyright.PENANAz36Lo2v3d8
Gob stilled at that but 539Please respect copyright.PENANAGjuG7mOX6p
followed the command. "And we agreed you wouldn't call me lady anymore.539Please respect copyright.PENANA6zfVZXvsgL
It's just Francesca." She called after Gob, steel in her voice all but 539Please respect copyright.PENANAZt8ot4XcHm
gone.539Please respect copyright.PENANAO4491cD5mj
Francesca turned towards539Please respect copyright.PENANAuQy7Ys6HJq
David and gestured at a free chair. " Please sit, I apologize for your 539Please respect copyright.PENANALcFUaiTgRB
bounds, Gob would've had a fit if I pushed on that." She said, slowly 539Please respect copyright.PENANAJoK67EbaF7
feeling her way around with her hands and sitting down on the opposite 539Please respect copyright.PENANAwEDoHnXICI
side of the table.539Please respect copyright.PENANAj6E1ODPVI4
David nodded and moved 539Please respect copyright.PENANA2u4dzF3XCo
towards the chair, smiling amicably. now that he got a better look at 539Please respect copyright.PENANA842B91jRVn
Francesca, David could tell that she was about the same age as Denis and539Please respect copyright.PENANAipEndeANcR
his siblings. Hopefully that also meant she'd be easy to manipulate, 539Please respect copyright.PENANAI5fpKRZv92
you could never tell with those pesky nobles,539Please respect copyright.PENANARZbxCugmAo
"Who chose you?" The 539Please respect copyright.PENANA3p3rHV1qFW
soft voice pierced his thoughts as he sat down. Francesca was still 539Please respect copyright.PENANAJi47LeuGFN
smiling but he could also hear some tension in that voice.539Please respect copyright.PENANAqecPS13Xwz
"Excuse me?"539Please respect copyright.PENANA5BqGC68dgI
"I can feel a...magical tug. It allows me to feel when another chosen is nearby."539Please respect copyright.PENANAj20lKvZH8o
David was still confused, so he decided honesty was the best policy. "Excuse me?"539Please respect copyright.PENANAJUvpjfgCiR
Francesca tilted her head, and then put her hand to her mouth and made a gasping sound. "Oh my! You truly don't know?" 539Please respect copyright.PENANAzB1jRGvktW
"We have been chosen by 539Please respect copyright.PENANAh4SHIceH0M
one of the great five!" She begun excitedly. "I have been chosen by 539Please respect copyright.PENANAwadShyUJ1z
Asmodea. She told me that I'd feel a connection to others chosen by the 539Please respect copyright.PENANA3l5toCE563
Five! Do you really don't know who chose you?"539Please respect copyright.PENANAwqvL5laxZJ
David wanted to laugh at539Please respect copyright.PENANAYfP5ybsbAC
the idea that Jester was one of the Five. Sadly, he couldn't, not after539Please respect copyright.PENANARpDC0RlfpY
what he'd seen and survived. David also remembered having a strange 539Please respect copyright.PENANAuRGO7tR1uL
feeling at the entrance to the cave, maybe it was that magical tug that 539Please respect copyright.PENANAxU5VjpUXSK
Francesca mentioned, although he was too tired and too much in pain to 539Please respect copyright.PENANAXL7jIG4wmA
feel anything else right now, though.539Please respect copyright.PENANAKobJMS4NJB
"Sorry, no idea." He 539Please respect copyright.PENANAdp3xBQziGS
said it in his most innocent tone. "One moment I'm on my ship, the other539Please respect copyright.PENANAbIyHK3QWpr
I'm on the ground getting manhandled."539Please respect copyright.PENANAL43MSzQKd0
"I apologize, Gob can be...paranoid. But he means well " David just nodded and smiled at that.539Please respect copyright.PENANAbc0b1YLKYL
"I'm also sure the one who chose you will communicate with you soon enough!" 539Please respect copyright.PENANAXsh0xrOxpa
David hoped he wouldn't. "So, what does it entail, being chosen?"539Please respect copyright.PENANAHxXL8GbT2f
"Oh! Well when Asmodea 539Please respect copyright.PENANAwtsEEWhILx
shown herself to me it was before the rebellion began. She told me of 539Please respect copyright.PENANAcc0bTynzjO
times before the elevation, various inventions, their way of 539Please respect copyright.PENANAtfn00AaVCx
life...That's what gave me the inspiration and courage for the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAKxxiRPPP2Z
rebellion." She paused as if unsure if she should mention the next part.539Please respect copyright.PENANAh2fvRHTVqR
"Mostly it's just advice now, she can sometimes hear and see what I 539Please respect copyright.PENANAIQlvPijQWq
hear and see. Of course, your benefactor might have a different 539Please respect copyright.PENANAZo7KTHv2PK
approach, I cannot presume to know the minds of the Great."539Please respect copyright.PENANA5oT5rM9D6N
David nodded, as if his 539Please respect copyright.PENANAC7hOD9ZGXt
currenFt predicament made complete sense, or maybe he was just going 539Please respect copyright.PENANATyut0X1wev
crazy bit by bit. Going with the flow seemed to be the best approach for539Please respect copyright.PENANAapLAKwTJxS
now, especially if it got Francesca on his side. 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEVuAxmXXcs
"Does anyone else know of you being chosen?" David asked Francesca.539Please respect copyright.PENANAV3tHwvqckh
She shook her head 539Please respect copyright.PENANAnaHf7En9jV
sadly. "No, I'm ashamed for lying to my friends but it would be hard to 539Please respect copyright.PENANAZb9zsPsEzu
explain. You're the first person I spoke to about this. I was hoping 539Please respect copyright.PENANAzz1N6oa8OE
you'd know more, but..."539Please respect copyright.PENANATrnZmVWQqp
"Sorry for not being more helpful."539Please respect copyright.PENANAFFeVps1ZgC
"Oh, gods, no! It's not 539Please respect copyright.PENANAeNoXxh47KM
your fault, I'm sorry for telling you all of this. You must think me 539Please respect copyright.PENANA4UC9IOnkld
crazy or an idiot." She gave a weak laugh.539Please respect copyright.PENANANLbAOYlNMt
David sensing an 539Please respect copyright.PENANAhu2218dSQV
opportunity moved closer and took a risk of holding her hand in his 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEAzLErUTbx
own." In these few moments I've known you, you've shown yourself to be 539Please respect copyright.PENANAAtotGhdFlZ
kind and smart. I thank you for telling me, hopefully together we can 539Please respect copyright.PENANAUr6XfLZAi7
work through this together." David heard that nobles were suckers for 539Please respect copyright.PENANAzhAjqsRgnG
the chivalrous knight types, he decided to test it out.539Please respect copyright.PENANArw08wd0deX
Francesca looked up to 539Please respect copyright.PENANA25ra3fL7am
David and he could see her glassed over eyes, he could tell she was 539Please respect copyright.PENANAlgWu1hyFCO
blind. That explained why she kept avoiding looking in his direction, 539Please respect copyright.PENANARY8Zrztyor
also showed a lot of undue trust in David. "Thank you, the way you talk 539Please respect copyright.PENANAbruo3j6d27
seems so elegant and wise. Looks like Denis was correct when he claimed 539Please respect copyright.PENANA4me0TxVGqK
you traveled all over Astaria"539Please respect copyright.PENANAu9T5ZnStOY
"Traveling the isles 539Please respect copyright.PENANAVxn9AYvorR
doesn't really make you elegant or wise. You just bring out the best of 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEiVk86Se5M
me." Was he laying it on too thick? Probably.539Please respect copyright.PENANAJjqa6Qo61C
"You jest." She shook 539Please respect copyright.PENANAaizlcYNMZj
her head chuckling, a smile lingered nonetheless. "You were saying you 539Please respect copyright.PENANACugeaX4qxb
were on a ship, the one that crash-landed?"539Please respect copyright.PENANAYm9J4fhsO6
"The flying fish, yes. I was one of the officers."539Please respect copyright.PENANAYce31GHA4j
"My condolences for your539Please respect copyright.PENANAK9tWQAFJBT
crew members. They died trying to get the weapons to us." She squeezed 539Please respect copyright.PENANABrY2NZkc4P
Davids hands tighter. "I shall not forget their sacrifice."539Please respect copyright.PENANArR6W6hGbWJ
David nodded and looked 539Please respect copyright.PENANA0r3lLv7gdv
down. He didn't really care that they've not survived, most of them were539Please respect copyright.PENANAna4XeszGcF
scoundrels, David included. As far as David saw it, they've done the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAz0VGjjkw0R
world a favour by dying. Not David though, he was a scoundrel worthy of 539Please respect copyright.PENANAK1R6TS9e0b
redemption, one of the Five seemed to think so at least and if they 539Please respect copyright.PENANAAKmsFv5XNx
could not see the good in a person then who could?539Please respect copyright.PENANANMhye5t07L
"Gob believes you are 539Please respect copyright.PENANAkPs7Lr2LqU
dangerous to the rebellion. He also believes me to be naive, but I'd 539Please respect copyright.PENANAvmKThf7QVq
rather put my trust in people. You can stay here with us. I will not 539Please respect copyright.PENANAZOhsQUhQMh
make you fight but I also cannot promise you safe passage home, at least539Please respect copyright.PENANA9E2ZsjZmAK
not now. Maybe later, but you can stay safe and share our food." She 539Please respect copyright.PENANA42NuJ6K5Fo
paused a bit and the continued more quickly." Only if you wish to, of 539Please respect copyright.PENANAF2U6vNMSnW
course. If you have no desire to, feel free to leave and I shall give 539Please respect copyright.PENANAQQgdFeAxEs
you some clothes and food from our stockpiles."539Please respect copyright.PENANAbsgBFzcJZW
David shuddered at the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAeOyhlFEAhU
thought of spending dark, cold, hungry nights out in that forest. Even 539Please respect copyright.PENANAEoUlshRaV1
if he did decide to leave, he didn't have anywhere else to go. No, as 539Please respect copyright.PENANAVtdRAAzIdf
far as David could he had no alternative but to stay. He was never a 539Please respect copyright.PENANAueUpyTrDPU
rebel before, he wondered if he'd enjoy it. "I'll be more than happy to 539Please respect copyright.PENANAgjiOH8ybaF
take up on your offer to stay here. As for fighting for your righteous 539Please respect copyright.PENANAQVAzeLPNg4
cause? It would be my pleasure." David would probably regret saying 539Please respect copyright.PENANAfWhuZZx41K
that, but he can always go back on his words if the situation requires 539Please respect copyright.PENANAu6s9lQB1iG
so.539Please respect copyright.PENANAsXrbD0K356
Francesca giggled and 539Please respect copyright.PENANA6qMLJxEqw2
clapped her hands. "Excellent!" I shall ask one of the guards to get you539Please respect copyright.PENANAAoGxoeZfIU
a sleeping bag and some supplies. " She wrinkled her nose. "Maybe a 539Please respect copyright.PENANAvY1WowJgI6
bath as well"539Please respect copyright.PENANA0bLDwJfesU
David gave a fake laugh,539Please respect copyright.PENANAE1xYeVbW4B
nobles always so rude. Though the fact that she had a nice scent even 539Please respect copyright.PENANAaGE1CA2zBp
when living in these conditions didn't help his pride. "I'd definitely 539Please respect copyright.PENANATMzKKX3GAY
appreciate it, my lady."539Please respect copyright.PENANAraOInoGBgk
"None of that, it's Francesca."539Please respect copyright.PENANArQmVpgkVCV
"Francesca it is, then. Thank you, Francesca."539Please respect copyright.PENANAzh2I9nGdSp
Francesca nodded and 539Please respect copyright.PENANAPzDqwHZaJm
gave David a warm smile. "Nook!" One of the previous guards peeped in. 539Please respect copyright.PENANAdODnFcJ660
"Take David and get him a sleeping bag. Take his bounds off as well, 539Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xh7QE1fH5
from this day on he fights with us. I'll let Gob know." She added the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAGjIr1zAwmb
last part as Nook was about to protest. But he nodded and took David 539Please respect copyright.PENANAY6FUQEPI9G
with him with no further complaints. Nook took out a knife and cut the 539Please respect copyright.PENANAyDG4qBqwJu
rope that was holding David, who nodded in appreciation.539Please respect copyright.PENANACY8bXqJtcJ
Rubbing his wrists to 539Please respect copyright.PENANAL2BbROGLGo
relax them from the strain he smiled. With things finally looking his 539Please respect copyright.PENANANxs6gOJAEA
way David had a better outlook on the future. If he plays his cards 539Please respect copyright.PENANAHFYQ48aPMw
right he might just get out of there alive. Francesca herself seemed 539Please respect copyright.PENANA6lAdUH9ZwR
easy to lie to and manipulate, though he did feel a bit bad about lying 539Please respect copyright.PENANA2CaaQhh3px
to her.539Please respect copyright.PENANAhmtz6EEzO8
~don't trust her, don't 539Please respect copyright.PENANA6014armTkg
trust anyone but yourself. ~ David shook his head. He almost forgot that539Please respect copyright.PENANAWnX8lJE3us
lifelong lesson. He couldn't get too comfortable, he always had to be 539Please respect copyright.PENANAUJXRmNLfYD
on his toes and aware. David will betray her and everyone in this 539Please respect copyright.PENANArRsZZafv3Y
rebellion. Just like he betrayed everyone else. After all, they'll just 539Please respect copyright.PENANAazf0d4fFXM
betray him first if he doesn't.539Please respect copyright.PENANA8jW5L4uZej
His new home didn't seem539Please respect copyright.PENANAzGEfBK1hit
much, he was placed in the spacious cavern near the rest of the rebels.539Please respect copyright.PENANAuL4vP3q7Ds
David didn't really have a tent but was given a sleeping bag by Nook. 539Please respect copyright.PENANAopKgzBF5fd
"We have specific feeding times, you'll know when it is when everyone 539Please respect copyright.PENANAyNNckd8kCB
starts gathering around the pots." 539Please respect copyright.PENANAj8IhVmwxWo
David just nodded at 539Please respect copyright.PENANA8cEzpJH9w9
that. He didn't really care about hunger, he only cared about how tired 539Please respect copyright.PENANAGD6YvPDhxs
he was as his knees gave out and he fell on the sleeping bag. Finally, 539Please respect copyright.PENANAygS6P4OCsB
some comfort, he could still feel the rocks but compared to beforehand 539Please respect copyright.PENANAqeoaYsnRp2
it was basically sitting on a soft cushion.539Please respect copyright.PENANAml00MeYOiD
He looked around and 539Please respect copyright.PENANAnEO9EP4sV0
noticed some of the rebels stealing glances at him, no one brave enough 539Please respect copyright.PENANAQK8WibtEXh
to come up and start a conversation though. The guards seemed especially539Please respect copyright.PENANAqqqDcTtKhn
weary as they didn't even try to hide the fact that they were glaring 539Please respect copyright.PENANAfXRTxmmUgS
at him. It made sense, he came here as a prisoner and David was looking 539Please respect copyright.PENANArd9pWqKoiN
forward to finding out how long it'd take to get them on his side.539Please respect copyright.PENANAIZzt5eldpu
As he laid down further 539Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mh5aymPji
on the makeshift bed he felt something in one of his pockets. David put 539Please respect copyright.PENANAkJYFICRh33
his hand down the pocket and pulled out the locket from Boyle, 539Please respect copyright.PENANADWCqLJJymv
surprisingly it wasn't destroyed. That reminded David that he stole some539Please respect copyright.PENANADsI5PPnaEP
