"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyeAPi8zY7
Gob shook his head, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNoO5ef8AA
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DJN1pbf9U
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSblK57AnND
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHeD0qxrPF
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLhhhZrQAb
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrht2WP4iJ6
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1zekZG4Yh
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqAaJJUSnJ
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ch4Z0kHcJ
would move.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoBTmteGYF
Now David has only been 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjJ61VfkTI
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThYRgImF3c
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnNnXCkAPC
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKRYMLw5uz
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJfWMY9nlX
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncmbrK3DKO
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrX3UBMFXS
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtqtYX8RmB
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk5Wbv86TO
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFDmGB7a6I
divided loyalties.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uYBlcozFb
Another important thing 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj5Uz664hq
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzK4ZFPv1L
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGEtZtqVPw
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG8KBfurIB
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5xazz8yBB
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm094cAe9t3
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVdDA4sn8c
their destination.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3cqQZSfbB
Today they were out 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu4CdS7Q29
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ649EmLtJ4
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGweP1Sb4uy
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZLFUerfLI
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAk6jLp0h
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKyxH2edTs
"Yes, now shut up and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5DCtkyzxC
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1JHKET3yY
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwpP2nfmg
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC7Klu4YmB
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE65Ybp2Fr7
They were at their 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh37BObOBP
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjc1RyjX3H
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuu7GIeJ1z
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYUTCQK1e3
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1b8qaSpq2
"Alright, that's enough.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaUI9PMAvL
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnluivLkruP
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGLhaFrOHl
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEQuxiWizX
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxUQfnuIxw
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbCeyHUkGQ
David walked in silence 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6JNA8cqtP
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYOspqJtBH
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXHvORRGfQ
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwUgR3jkXA
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M5VaMAKpI
A walk that would've 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0klpe30aG
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdMezuGO3C
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr6UGmXEKD
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQEE8SmYKN
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwrD1eQ25N
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr6dbVbyZL
"I'll go report to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lT5UW4z5e
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9csGl414E
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfzk72yU1D
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JcfpGeFDe
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUPujSm9fG
winning Gob over.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JumjhDV23
Francesca on the other 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0N7xQwk25
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWEiTWcUIc
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ww9dBAjl
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xvRsQUqm
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQIscy8KRH
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkzV6iO7na
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugpUi9cgQt
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTNJXDi3Wp
David just wished he 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFDrgobpjD
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqw4Bybpz9
well no one said being a parasite was easy.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ifRpM3Jnl
Further down the camps 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprARIdclLL
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbV5byEgWG
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyF6JCKHvf
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbQVvyVKdM
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VUdKRIEYs
him. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdtUav3mg6
"What'cha doing?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NfVhU7bxg
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl94IbJsswD
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfaEHjGriO
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72D1KGK69g
David nodded. The boy 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDq72oUYyy
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8NV7AAMq1
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsgpUIH29O
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qsG99qQAP
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFy8cqNM1v
read them someday."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB6xeyuwcH
Twitch muttered 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPAtMzO2ot
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0o5e7fafu
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ZdzEEfBR
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSCmsG2kOn
Twitch started shaking 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SceXuyzpG
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByPQ6uBCOl
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKzaLqBfFO
jump back even more than David did682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUb9OdUNXO
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmbv7KaQNu
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOE34AMV5
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn4oP0y3kT
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr8ekedhO7
any instinct he had.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyjK0NOhd4
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv63JMxKCco
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgWU0yyH3N
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxemTPUCfA
now.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROIfNjk0ze
"Nonsense." Francesca 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd55OMEOur
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdOmPXiR9y
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyYy5eXFkj
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7A9pr2eSZ
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFOgPfS1Cv
dark red.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxBUkVcFXO
Francesca spared Twitch 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOIFKM5M8c
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SOQ2Ij8Yv
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet2cIXz8ox
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA9GSo6wou
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKMZjt0CIf
was popularly called.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqfB8eMJaj
The rebels not only 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡean7qqzwSR
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhBUS94oAL
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodL6tVYsVj
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59WbIB6YYW
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s8kse1NeG
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWq2NdSJjv
to them. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cyX5kKNt1
David attended one of 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3oJhPvS8X
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6b5asdELL
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCOSWfebKo
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqVbQCiIO8
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp5s0q7pH1
learn anything new.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeybepw1nGH
Before leading her group682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8vsxqvu7K
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLt8RopkWJ
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLAM1WNvms
"Of course, I'll see you682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLUBrcqBux
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5GnD0qj25
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemzjWPgGWm
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxGyoH4oib
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYulUlhH1Ge
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghjofLH3j3
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DiqgQzHwX
remember his parents or family.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9toZ6dAj2
Francesca, unaware of 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrHwZu3JDh
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNbfD95JD1
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ467MF2riuW
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmU9nFVYev
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1KwPZNz7B
Nook was an interesting 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yjzfFQW7B
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIScMVArRjE
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFdGpi9Cmm
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY0311jNqV
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguBuyy3LSS
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtpT9soYnr
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofCtvGjwjs
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡove44ZFQAr
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriZNU8oyJJ
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJccd8jKaO
Nook grinned a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JYMfJRMo7
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZni5PqCFdS
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsntJsEw37
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIWgC0CJNi
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0xMfGc2x
backs.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yWkRTWdW9
Thus any card games were682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdfPCuFqjl
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT0e18m8hR
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorL46kDKDi
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDIkL8c41S
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIK6WkeSV1
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ7GAYPRLi
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKDWaxrAX
did have.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2VZoQ3neC
Some did think it was a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL9euuR2Uy
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHNJvYinEm
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEAjkmv4jd
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2FXfIRQot
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvTsKz42X3
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aIExH6DkO
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WLmEc6tX
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapUqiUiDW
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7VMTEf7K
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLq2Jg51KO
food has been.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXUvRvtKJA
They were the four main 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzUhGfmR16
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuQ9W09cP1
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHUyQdRMZs
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fvl1zfl1M
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi73y64XwxI
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7xO9HB0wF
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLdXLeZDJh
and accepted them.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySPdsHF8qn
"''Ello boys." David 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccECAAD7do
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ynGLEs3QO
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17kShdrCtc
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdIFLJxk9C
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP6hRAdQjT
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQpRDST1db
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvmqjEXLxY
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFzhGPBhoT
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpSgLcU7Kd
least for his own benefit. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfAXZdajDo
Nook was the first to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHYMEqiaD8
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdLds6ekik
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP8rxSl4ct
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLGBWpfONy
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlxrCylieL
Tiruk, in answer, just 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj8uD0t0yb
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuumBXAFXLa
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPfQ4f1Q6V
Next card revealed. A 3 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdM1OBcWx
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI7FlO9tqc
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhqQLz7UoF
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1z68gqAQw
very happy, old, man.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI6kUPNoYH
Since David didn't have 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW2HCOpxMf
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqOuyk0qe5
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslYTTE1amZ
would be safe to take a walk.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5DtbhL7Js
Another thing he took to682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugiPNFSip
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhxiKASixG
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56gDZBm8zh
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdxBvq8aeu
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYwckZ55y9
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmGmRrw85z
He also found various 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fBuYpAzVn
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhmq7QDfNR
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdxT7IUGNQ
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXXMTonaC3
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOPKNHS5mF
being more careful.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpvG5K08xI
The caves themselves 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1emdMBLN6
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRohdZUahOp
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCh9UoVNSU
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpZHmGAUol
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtFvy1IGrl
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xITih2Xig
himself that limited their exploring time.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6G9DWCg5l
That let David offer his682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzSv01xcaS
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDCM6v6Q30
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrG2v3fG37
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OwEns0OSB
free more people for patrols and other duties.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUr8f16FDM
This time though he had a682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvOiz7leUR
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ332hNBmC29
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmHEwUxIOZ
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78URFzxfq6
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyiGopVjai
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu4rYlyo6N
That's where he was 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7JqyoSlUq
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvuB73preZ
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks3SILH829
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUisxLu09jw
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wzeDJ84qx
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfqqQIiW70
better in his mind.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB6aNbuY9r
Thus grabbing a torch as682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl6LNp7okx
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdQNTZyok5
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjdmxXpjCJ
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn1RuI4GY0
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7KM7EAxfM
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCXoE07uaS
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSweGTsH3e
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrAQGyIZOW
his mind wander and just blanked out. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHk5Wx2B9s
Before he even noticed, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF9SL3Yq5G
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj2WefObtO
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf0DBg5Wx2
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6E5llCzRB
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpNvW0vFuR
the smell of unwashed masses.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWP2IFYMSm
It did seem that David 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I5ExPXk4D
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMDuO1PwxP
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETrMRbfIhr
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIquZm6eoK
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeW3fDL1WL
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JIH6oda6o
seemed to satisfy Stevie.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAx1IHw3x3
"Don't keep Francesca 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEYhL6oTgl
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5RrM2bHYR
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCAQycP2wE
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUSsZUgDu9
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq76LZINJp
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FSS4ccv6l
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgem0SFrde
walked away. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHu2PMrcka
David smiled and waved 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpDC1nfSva
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1GXOyFyJ
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RJWWE8tcU
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunF7FeytgO
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0OBNYs1ZV
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwfVt5JBY9
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHgj0YLTCa
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg9zelcU9R
the paragon of virtue.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAlX4OEjgR
Her room, as per usual, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABpzHs79u4
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r4RnaDACW
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJffi3dpxfJ
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QVzI01rQ
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrcKYuzA8F
to light up all caverns and pathways. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeh6JIlNWr
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv03H40KJg
David sat down with a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS4tj34oL1
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25iIixSna
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWRuckXJb
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhgUnJ9CpD
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnN9dZf97u
in a stream. Delicious.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y6gcq0Fd2
"So pleasantries first or business first?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jChcR9Qro
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBdwdjrTCl
Francesca nodded and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI4sEK1aSM
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYIXR1OnD0
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjH7Ky74F
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RqRgFvmmN
fast eating was paramount.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88NPDIoPwV
As expected David 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2NMrkzj17
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBU7gFI2P8
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMMuVpO7Dh
deliberate eater.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnwElimEl7
"So on to business." She682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQX7j1KA5H
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKyswconu7
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YQDTDCgMr
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYfmMAGTV5
"In a way. It's someone 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6S42O6ZOT
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxJn2SjUTn
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP85bpERBHw
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHl2k1m49C
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuJhYdaASv
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyJu7sNw2G
"Well, there is a 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDIh832ZdP
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBroTzrqCw
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLapR17DzL
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDimr2kaIL
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFxaH4nCWz
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3OAHYDTGI
in a few days the edge of a different isle.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BFhRSfpg9
"We will also be moving 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKlx5HotJE
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw9K9Jkj2a
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K5LcGjc3Y
so some will know where to go."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ewjOrOx4f
"That's good, why did 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTOFSnflji
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXraqoodRD0
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67fDLnHfr
was interested in the answer.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg7yVP1bVD
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCob4HaCOu
David nodded, not a full682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNso9qBkOTf
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqn0hqHFrO
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWm5dfd60e
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHhd5F24zW
"Thank you." She said 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4TVUf4jKd
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I2CkXpsxi
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rniah8gU5
regroup at a specified point."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIMpP5xz4c
"How will you get 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbouKqA6hW
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr30flzuLv
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBihVQErbd
city.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FOmKuCvb1
"We have small sky 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEQL33YoEZ
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecxPpHnRtV
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3xFYhpQpj
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgkfN0miBg
group."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFujIVds8B7
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVmKqpPAo7
She gave him a sad smile682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rFYjYJxOt
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiJyyLLZSt
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r8QaQUp5I
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70cCgn5rr
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOpCNMUsD7
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwS0T76UzQ
their past in the past.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdeAXERlyH
"Now then, back to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLWjALu9Gj
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMvx8thYCO
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzmW1qMCZd
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCAlE2B5mX
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2IUx2Ui3T
"You'll have it. I'm 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGdkZyJdCr
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TK5Fj1aso
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsep7TnWy8
on a rock hard surface.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOblAzE6pMD
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK2lpUmXd9
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8jVgo0DUO
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbUdl6QfDc
"Sadly no, I'm as 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLpaX0wtMV
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfdngzcHuR
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNUjoR4baJ
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRGwggneUz
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIIeTkAM4j
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxIMq2D80s
"Do not worry, I am 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60abllhYEE
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXPDSQHmH
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3BcKC22R1
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjirfUNV819
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGNyLYDwPI
"We're under attack, they found us."
