The agents of the mage council. They're a known secret, everyone knows they exist but it's considered impolite to mention.631Please respect copyright.PENANA9C3JjLykQ7
They are men and women 631Please respect copyright.PENANAMiuf3Ojws6
who aren't able to cast. Nonetheless they are trained to combat ether 631Please respect copyright.PENANAn6o2fpD9SZ

631Please respect copyright.PENANAXMqjfU1nXY
Davids relief didn't 631Please respect copyright.PENANAgPnUFTA40G
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 631Please respect copyright.PENANAwUGq4hyanh
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he631Please respect copyright.PENANA1Of3lZ9Fh9
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone631Please respect copyright.PENANA2vmwtZrB56
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFATSuUOayM
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would631Please respect copyright.PENANA09EVWB3zzz
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 631Please respect copyright.PENANANUdxlWMcsx
better off than Angela.631Please respect copyright.PENANA6WqYu7UpQN
"Breathe slowly and calm631Please respect copyright.PENANAh65krHK3iY
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 631Please respect copyright.PENANAU78iqcLeLW
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a631Please respect copyright.PENANAEc7dqe4Qmb
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing631Please respect copyright.PENANAsAMsvDVD7T
got steadier.631Please respect copyright.PENANAC6ADHJRujY
"Useless." Gob said as 631Please respect copyright.PENANAq9O2ytYD9n
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAQD0M4urMde
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlleAGvHKY5
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."631Please respect copyright.PENANA4yQiYv0dPz
After his conversation 631Please respect copyright.PENANAOLnDbh120U
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 631Please respect copyright.PENANAmZvUnmVgzZ
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 631Please respect copyright.PENANAuf5JMARy0h
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.631Please respect copyright.PENANAvXMlyKKroa
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.631Please respect copyright.PENANA0JsDUM8NIu
"To get new weapons and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAOZfYAgOMKf
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8RfQs62pj
drying his shoes from any excess water.631Please respect copyright.PENANAvdHMCDWs2i
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.631Please respect copyright.PENANAIf810wo24S
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.631Please respect copyright.PENANAkFRbnGmIdx
"No!" Angela stood up 631Please respect copyright.PENANAJnl9YMdm5M
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 631Please respect copyright.PENANA8ULBkhExO6
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I631Please respect copyright.PENANAYEgtnTfLaa
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she631Please respect copyright.PENANAsFi1pEHV1o
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.631Please respect copyright.PENANAA3Hxs8ZnsS
"If I could do anything 631Please respect copyright.PENANAAxukeYx359
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began631Please respect copyright.PENANA765aFDoEog
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdyoO8SJfqt
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvLLGhC2WCN
us. Now get up."631Please respect copyright.PENANA0GoRac8ajs
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1GNrZX0oO5
Thus, they began their 631Please respect copyright.PENANAPw4r8W9CpU
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ho0Kg7itf
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlgvpoCHszp
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdAWqWGKbI5
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAeL8t0Bb5jJ
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvIRUhvWmap
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 631Please respect copyright.PENANAb0PpHuJ7uo
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of631Please respect copyright.PENANA5zHf5WPRKy
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEYF2qozQPo
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.631Please respect copyright.PENANAkgDRxUKPvJ
The only one not 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvYbg1A1ozT
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 631Please respect copyright.PENANANXcolaSBNw
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't631Please respect copyright.PENANAd2hWcE50Xt
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 631Please respect copyright.PENANAfq1hSW9HzR
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.631Please respect copyright.PENANAecSP6qTWaC
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever631Please respect copyright.PENANASn6uCY1isv
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 631Please respect copyright.PENANA1LAoebZ3yI
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 631Please respect copyright.PENANAOMkDrWeHXM
was no more fighting, David didn't know.631Please respect copyright.PENANADEyyV0XAsN
David hoped that 631Please respect copyright.PENANA3MGJ3ls3OX
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFsHvdwvWe1
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 631Please respect copyright.PENANAwnEKYNT6vd
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 631Please respect copyright.PENANAGIn5WiMoFT
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAWeVDxj9P9P
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 631Please respect copyright.PENANAajgQYHWPMX
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdAggDRXwwP
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlyRktPY7a6
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 631Please respect copyright.PENANAJhpoE9spZL
David slouched to the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAWwzsKpN5Na
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 631Please respect copyright.PENANA6uMJRDhfnv
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAMvg4j5FGJh
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't631Please respect copyright.PENANAGQlWMjy97Q
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 631Please respect copyright.PENANAkkZrPdLpsE
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEOki8k8rlK
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're631Please respect copyright.PENANAmqJ15PKNRX
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 631Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rvij4vcDm
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela631Please respect copyright.PENANAjvhFF9o2tb
No answer. ~Oh hells, do631Please respect copyright.PENANANmT6jgpT59
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 631Please respect copyright.PENANAM12nzV7Qb3
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 631Please respect copyright.PENANA1yFMypGbDY
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 631Please respect copyright.PENANA3bjQRsL4TV
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and631Please respect copyright.PENANA6yHFN4NyQ7
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 631Please respect copyright.PENANAbQjE1gMjLW
against putting it on her.631Please respect copyright.PENANAfkJvIMyxV6
"I...I should've been 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdefbmN68Oa
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 631Please respect copyright.PENANAf7QPsWZnbK
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 631Please respect copyright.PENANApF2Lz27uxA
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 631Please respect copyright.PENANAWC9UNghAO5
David's mouth.631Please respect copyright.PENANAzoGwUhbfIh
"Why weren't you? Now, I631Please respect copyright.PENANAAGMLuwA0Fz
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAMAefvmNsvD
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more631Please respect copyright.PENANAmQJbXCA8Rv
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.631Please respect copyright.PENANAZTeqwDvpKo
"It happened so fast. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAo3qzR6c7q2
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I631Please respect copyright.PENANA7hD6HAOGcI
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 631Please respect copyright.PENANAhXifDcTBQa
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 631Please respect copyright.PENANAABkNznKV3V
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 631Please respect copyright.PENANAwWNGWBgLiK
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering631Please respect copyright.PENANAvFZ4j1Axog
to herself again631Please respect copyright.PENANAXmU0PTJdyu
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.631Please respect copyright.PENANAKdTnI9Oj7S
The mighty hunter 631Please respect copyright.PENANAnGywvRCjfR
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared631Please respect copyright.PENANAHancSAlLc8
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 631Please respect copyright.PENANAwpeqTVQxr6
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 631Please respect copyright.PENANAZmc0W3pnWJ
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 631Please respect copyright.PENANAVTXI14gbgH
Their respite didn't 631Please respect copyright.PENANAKGOKRzq2Lc
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 631Please respect copyright.PENANAWkqKIptwt6
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 631Please respect copyright.PENANACvFuPkinPS
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 631Please respect copyright.PENANAxNBDd5DZ3x
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdQei2DBt8X
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,631Please respect copyright.PENANAErPgmjRqjf
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put631Please respect copyright.PENANAQdIVD9BuWX
that skill to actual good use.631Please respect copyright.PENANAXtx1pTTEdZ
Thankfully their walk 631Please respect copyright.PENANAwZKEiJWBme
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 631Please respect copyright.PENANAKf0TXvKBbx
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 631Please respect copyright.PENANAQwS2YpH7RD
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 631Please respect copyright.PENANACHPTHHx8kZ
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 631Please respect copyright.PENANAa3n14Zmu3Z
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.631Please respect copyright.PENANAXOUfERAT6R
Gob motioned for them to631Please respect copyright.PENANA9s7Nj4fcdE
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 631Please respect copyright.PENANAuQcCCtYWBp
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 631Please respect copyright.PENANAUmsLhXTxka
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 631Please respect copyright.PENANArpToIs1opW
conveniently carried on his shoulder.631Please respect copyright.PENANAgWA1hZciyw
Fly boats were made out 631Please respect copyright.PENANAR8pkGlDEFB
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,631Please respect copyright.PENANAoq6FtIkUCc
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAxl32UbyJCC
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow631Please respect copyright.PENANAEki8QZBSAS
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 631Please respect copyright.PENANAa1OexMFVXv
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 631Please respect copyright.PENANAiqdZ2ZeLWX
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAfYEivIFoyE
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 631Please respect copyright.PENANAd0v8tk9vwf
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate631Please respect copyright.PENANAEbkLUHNamO
or smiled. A frown.631Please respect copyright.PENANAWmjProdJZZ
He put the boat down on 631Please respect copyright.PENANAd8ZeP8GaaO
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 631Please respect copyright.PENANARkKD1TOJwD
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 631Please respect copyright.PENANAgvXgre8bUs
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 631Please respect copyright.PENANA797LSwIQei
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 631Please respect copyright.PENANA1ih4UiAyjB
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the631Please respect copyright.PENANAE7h2tqssm2
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 631Please respect copyright.PENANAUbBBALr0Cu
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 631Please respect copyright.PENANA8FTzzLgAes
making his wounds ache.631Please respect copyright.PENANA381UcDM5zI
Gob put the boat over 631Please respect copyright.PENANAyaZePw2NwT
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came631Please respect copyright.PENANAQOdYOrWrdf
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFb0V9rKPZ5
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 631Please respect copyright.PENANAeJI05utPok
the other. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFUaA0DBBjl
Gob handed David the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAcb1WqjZwPx
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 631Please respect copyright.PENANAD2qTKc9fWy
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 631Please respect copyright.PENANApm4QyavYhB
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 631Please respect copyright.PENANAbZgR7GErn1
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 631Please respect copyright.PENANA7XTF8nw7Hh
believed this was definitely one of those fates.631Please respect copyright.PENANAHXvH3cV8Ta
All though David did 631Please respect copyright.PENANAVVFicUI4oX
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 631Please respect copyright.PENANAYPQtidPDEa
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAu02ZMkTEqd
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAiHwMb3nzAz
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 631Please respect copyright.PENANATzTB3HaFvA
by the sun.631Please respect copyright.PENANA7pH2Vq3RTx
They all disembarked, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAutZbeQNBC5
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAiLMhLUJeOx
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 631Please respect copyright.PENANAygoHnI0UKj
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 631Please respect copyright.PENANA2sCyBzhQha
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 631Please respect copyright.PENANA7CT5jIOcPZ
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEHWCjcCXDy
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.631Please respect copyright.PENANAXT9y3QSO7m
"How do they manage to 631Please respect copyright.PENANAVkKDh8B8H9
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 631Please respect copyright.PENANAjY39B8t7of
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAcZE4cxsQNr
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "631Please respect copyright.PENANAqTiJQwkQUk
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as631Please respect copyright.PENANAbTUqTfMfLh
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."631Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3Do4SlA6D
David nodded, the answer631Please respect copyright.PENANAEE9ucIjm7O
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like631Please respect copyright.PENANAK5yXGp4xYI
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.631Please respect copyright.PENANANVSjDq4BDQ
One thing David noticed,631Please respect copyright.PENANARFDoqDjkJE
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAyw7bjnIqM8
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors631Please respect copyright.PENANAeuz1KyDb5t
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 631Please respect copyright.PENANAra5klXQEjf
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 631Please respect copyright.PENANA5a4WWMRm3r
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some631Please respect copyright.PENANAobn6VJCv83
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything631Please respect copyright.PENANAciszJ2PGy5
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 631Please respect copyright.PENANAvHrnJxyVJA
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 631Please respect copyright.PENANA9LM6RajiqU
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 631Please respect copyright.PENANAD45TOAAnXT
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.631Please respect copyright.PENANAbxyuFdbdP1
It made him remember 631Please respect copyright.PENANAx36BaTkor0
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAbSUCwoHXT6
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 631Please respect copyright.PENANAojiNsqQ6hQ
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't631Please respect copyright.PENANAqtf7qBZtyP
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 631Please respect copyright.PENANAnMEigVIOfs
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 631Please respect copyright.PENANAUf0xDhI2Ua
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 631Please respect copyright.PENANAVLdVF1mBD6
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a631Please respect copyright.PENANAIjdyvSeQQY
while ago.631Please respect copyright.PENANAamKlD3lDFc
Just as previously they 631Please respect copyright.PENANAIetbBzNIqp
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen631Please respect copyright.PENANARW07ONGDl8
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a631Please respect copyright.PENANAFSnQDiAapl
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAJTfeMXWEee
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEMJT63v1sc
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAKZOlRG2EjR
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 631Please respect copyright.PENANAxlhjCGypsD
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAXFAC5d58tZ
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 631Please respect copyright.PENANAPyVFe4TbF6
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.631Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZyApLQx5X
David was apprehensive 631Please respect copyright.PENANApj07E3d4US
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 631Please respect copyright.PENANArIGqCeY9nf
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlFWWBjlcv0
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAoxn7yu1wVp
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAjoyFrmabPo
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.631Please respect copyright.PENANAplql7sfnou
Before they all turned 631Please respect copyright.PENANAD0vpi9v9Bo
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 631Please respect copyright.PENANAzADzZ7oSb5
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 631Please respect copyright.PENANAxO4mnBfgxm
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could631Please respect copyright.PENANAyml4ZH9AQj
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how631Please respect copyright.PENANAQptrUe08xf
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 631Please respect copyright.PENANAHmyDWJI1Tr
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.631Please respect copyright.PENANA70OyRj2dOD
Sadly the sweet dream 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFKtr1i0jwI
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 631Please respect copyright.PENANAIIHMXIvoqH
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 631Please respect copyright.PENANAq7pbouasEm
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 631Please respect copyright.PENANAFUHhouw5Mi
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial631Please respect copyright.PENANAHqKqxZcwNw
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 631Please respect copyright.PENANAhzbW6p2n4z
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 631Please respect copyright.PENANAVZSMyVq6fB
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 631Please respect copyright.PENANANTchnAkBW6
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.631Please respect copyright.PENANA9gg2Hyr7SQ
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 631Please respect copyright.PENANAGE35Q9R2P1
David shook his head and631Please respect copyright.PENANAkRaboVe1RK
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 631Please respect copyright.PENANA92K8EGdCCg
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 631Please respect copyright.PENANAZSNpE4JLqx
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 631Please respect copyright.PENANAypzp6woWat
too.631Please respect copyright.PENANANA8rK4nYdZ
They spent the morning 631Please respect copyright.PENANAyEXruWCZJD
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAp8pChht5ns
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 631Please respect copyright.PENANAhT3iohpjT7
crowd. ~631Please respect copyright.PENANADNupo33luK
After they were all done631Please respect copyright.PENANAX8MdgK4c5E
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 631Please respect copyright.PENANA8G1745OiO6
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 631Please respect copyright.PENANAj6AQbeUqwt
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 631Please respect copyright.PENANALEaG8L0hA6
Positivity all around.631Please respect copyright.PENANAq1yuwJkMrp
Soon they reached the 631Please respect copyright.PENANAE8W7XSl3a5
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned631Please respect copyright.PENANArenUkIPQPT
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 631Please respect copyright.PENANApIvdvsIl8N
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 631Please respect copyright.PENANAgkzY2PqiFq
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 631Please respect copyright.PENANAaJQiD8GfN5
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 631Please respect copyright.PENANAiFCpuCQfgf
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 631Please respect copyright.PENANAjO4Z6aaIpB
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 631Please respect copyright.PENANADjCxJ4cqPw
everyone won.631Please respect copyright.PENANAERXORFGhZD
Gob seemed to be pretty 631Please respect copyright.PENANAlNj7L2sBAZ
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 631Please respect copyright.PENANAEkSfOCWd4x
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdjLGKvSFa9
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 631Please respect copyright.PENANADF2tzLQFS1
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly631Please respect copyright.PENANA9xrBu6wu2k
making her way behind David.631Please respect copyright.PENANA1gVEAQwvjI
"Where's Lev?" Gob 631Please respect copyright.PENANAo9TmUJa7Pc
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 631Please respect copyright.PENANAdkscNAerlT
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 631Please respect copyright.PENANAVPQ7GV0tD4
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"631Please respect copyright.PENANA2gg3oRcm79
Reaching the middle 631Please respect copyright.PENANAHW2nuF1EMm
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 631Please respect copyright.PENANACaK3NYI5ie
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 631Please respect copyright.PENANAbXeXriWwWe
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying631Please respect copyright.PENANAZfsIcmsayI
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 631Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4fsGLk4Pk
and quickly put a knife to his throat.631Please respect copyright.PENANANV0oGHQszn
Before David could 631Please respect copyright.PENANAhmrMulVktS
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the631Please respect copyright.PENANANWc13woHPC
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 631Please respect copyright.PENANA2bQBlXajfb
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 631Please respect copyright.PENANA5rIImjzDaD
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAik0oWtzFjW
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 631Please respect copyright.PENANABwKomc0aQA
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer631Please respect copyright.PENANAKxLqspCdam
The captains facial 631Please respect copyright.PENANAXthmh4X0Vg
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 631Please respect copyright.PENANAakAnpL3KQK
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers631Please respect copyright.PENANAG2HzzdeOR3
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.631Please respect copyright.PENANAvgrdN96cj3
"Enough of this!" 631Please respect copyright.PENANAK6QzzCYw8i
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of631Please respect copyright.PENANAYAvLaKmfgE
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 631Please respect copyright.PENANAr20lKKidXB
towards them.631Please respect copyright.PENANARrFL8U7sc9
David felt himself flung631Please respect copyright.PENANA0OZBy2a9lP
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 631Please respect copyright.PENANAjqEVESBqIy
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 631Please respect copyright.PENANAonqFDgbsMp
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 631Please respect copyright.PENANA6NUHXfciYj
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 631Please respect copyright.PENANAVAlCI0KdQt
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 631Please respect copyright.PENANAq6zbmg1PI5
overwhelmed him.
