"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCId7038aDh
Gob shook his head, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshNbSVJDW2
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AmpDeVhaR
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDYHUwojLy
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ602ufNh7f7
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsYRFc99uw
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KNaBkBVkP
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvT9szlTCY
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNNf0WOp2Q
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok4VBtT9ix
would move.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCR5MMTgkX
Now David has only been 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6symOBBbt
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Cf1vKP2U
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZn5nhPWko
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QKNdKBC21
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOckgX84iob
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnF9xQhMyq
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMuIN8wRr
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKvymeZmS6
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yzoPtdCUM
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ0nvK9Nk2
divided loyalties.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8FaVsGRcv
Another important thing 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2qf8saVV3
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nHCZDXBvG
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ14EQ73ewu
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDZkf1kC0f
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgAsLiC2Jq
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU9Rwz2Xjp
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZjLcK9uWr
their destination.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuMyNATXhH
Today they were out 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ241ELaLlwJ
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsskgmDahB6
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVbJ2BgtnK
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllJd5npDtv
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQB7XZO3VM
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LOli1kEvw
"Yes, now shut up and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdqQCcqYyS
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty3WOTwrMP
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko8dSNoMkb
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLLUhjFGMF
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K5aj3rx6p
They were at their 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjR46bk6iO
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdpqba7q92
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiGJMT9Qj7
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGUSSylzji
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLzI7I2y86
"Alright, that's enough.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxeIwQab63
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa3tzigNbm
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1aZbqs12E
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UUO93de9K
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqTJ5j8lIu
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd3BsPRDwn
David walked in silence 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwwl99D335
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xHbBp22U6
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMhxqCnXLV
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lE7ZmUOEp
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWR7sqkqjY
A walk that would've 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdt6G3Unxi
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9WVs0HQSY
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ9k43tWL6
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEyqPZvVb9
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64puaAdfod
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGap9DIxLG
"I'll go report to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUdlsQZ6Yb
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwjj9jdUlU
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIcNgdJ9xm
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOMV7I6DIT
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d7sBj60aM
winning Gob over.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeLEeWkfm2
Francesca on the other 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfW9viPM6E
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeX7VhBJNh
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rYCWRnYS
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQX1oG7Jtf
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCBzCje6ZT
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj9qN3tSF1
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFDyjaLS8U
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxE0dAaoJ8
David just wished he 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjciIvrnXeb
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjbwpd3OtH
well no one said being a parasite was easy.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwei6Cwi5cq
Further down the camps 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNHXLLLQGS
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKJBTEpZtr
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSHgoEkVex
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjvZ1rK5ME
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcAWS2DCTz
him. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPXT36DZdC
"What'cha doing?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmuLAQWEDS
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXBR8TygCy
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnoG8rbzb0
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDXmANn4az
David nodded. The boy 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ALNgSb9uk
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTX0EzoyyC
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkbcMPcstP
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTfdPTHEyO
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaHm28ouPx
read them someday."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabiJOmuqnn
Twitch muttered 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7L9LO5cUq
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR61TS4KQW
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaah2ZH9NL
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7AmRqkYq1
Twitch started shaking 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUs82Seu6H
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgckpzqEpc
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkXWsR2Yf
jump back even more than David did593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty2x3ex8Dz
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V9FqI88oa
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaLgol5ACV
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigq6CWyhcV
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCs9ELKBoL
any instinct he had.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9AxFuC8hy
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEOAcBTwec
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6frWpiPEb
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VLpdMx3ML
now.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhUF3PevZ9
"Nonsense." Francesca 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwwoVi3MJb
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUA1d87HHd
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIYmuh8nH8
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN9lbVvIhZ
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PxKdauHYU
dark red.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBDOldtnXU
Francesca spared Twitch 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoJfpafYia
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr41sWmFUHG
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPLKKlBYWn
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48fOGJ41G7
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLGHUr7GME
was popularly called.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkfLB28CId
The rebels not only 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ098gNNbCoL
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmJSacJ5CK
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmctCmmgTL
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWD1iBcC83
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvXKY6ek3N
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuVJ2gmAZo
to them. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCqCUOE7oo
David attended one of 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZbs23JjQI
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK17uoUgot0
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ7IsvtpNe
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhMfz62KbP
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfELJwTeTh
learn anything new.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8bqrHkfT2
Before leading her group593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6bdoxZboX
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPnbYstz4a
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgMGZ0GCqH
"Of course, I'll see you593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW171pd0117
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAA2wP4Lfb
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdg6IWtgEb
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbUAERKGpS
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1cp9RBhVC
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSjfe6O0U7
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpAZVmqcVi
remember his parents or family.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ603WlGLovT
Francesca, unaware of 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUidk2D8kG0
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMrmv0tFqK
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q3aYEWBhF
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB31ASz7PWC
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX4QyrpQDS
Nook was an interesting 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVSjwIbOd3
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzAIsNCsTZ
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7a5gX7qeR
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvDZcCZ7pX
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RitAWVYS3
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8dDgbYS2g
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5UCkol83T
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ742HKrtzCD
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16pu1jIj5j
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcrKIKWV7P
Nook grinned a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl19u4H4rB
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qe5weaHDq
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0DP6HSsMP
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCsB8G45V1
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3BU2eiu1I
backs.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCdmQGuER4
Thus any card games were593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk7a6XXEYz
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3geUdCGmsA
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMDBrtjWJs
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzdYer0qnW
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEXQOrZyrx
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBzymbU0xh
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9bZ9NAoJt
did have.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5tfF5KvIG
Some did think it was a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSeeWzW6AJ
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCiFejodrD
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Jqygxcik
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wnxnZWYgz
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GFKJztcty
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkaLZ1RoKe
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtHMd77uxa
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ps0LwmvrC
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE0BrtWuav
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2u2arzLXt
food has been.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4R2GXcx6U
They were the four main 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhkfc9M3Hz
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CjdgCDkU2
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvqe4oQegI
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgxAkAML4a
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs9fADPm5b
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0gmArn3KR
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiggjz79gu
and accepted them.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIrAc0uJvB
"''Ello boys." David 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanXNOq7QzD
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnb4Jwq2HZ
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbCz6d16Ce
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6a0RhSh6v
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxGnOOk1ML
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FAAAiLjPG
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvqGW1ig5M
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTbpbAM8hp
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewh6U5iGjE
least for his own benefit. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MfTQe9ikU
Nook was the first to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZvCqWRSwZ
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFBSVyJTO8
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikAZF1a31C
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH9iHqOtyU
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlmdVZGifl
Tiruk, in answer, just 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKsKyngfyq
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7levhKkOpt
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lTpywK049
Next card revealed. A 3 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUT22ibTgM
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkudEvdqrd
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAVj7H7sfu
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLayww9DPY
very happy, old, man.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTqVJ0tMQu
Since David didn't have 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUmRDD091
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91oNMPrsVD
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7nRgfzM0U
would be safe to take a walk.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgE0vdXp9G
Another thing he took to593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVDYXSmevN
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruDADQa4R
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNxI26EggY
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAlsvoCOXG
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH8uI4eUI2
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9OzPBOMaQ
He also found various 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcLpXXeQvB
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPD7pNOSrV
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3gRYr9ZaW
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjTjYTdG55
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nCXe77QUs
being more careful.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYJjwwTN8X
The caves themselves 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgzXwrWTrM
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elxQzi6Vm
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW38nhRHVE
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2H3nd890X
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxCdKHDOv
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iwqhjidm1
himself that limited their exploring time.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGF7tU5fVJ
That let David offer his593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSzmXbU7rB
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1bftL2Dld
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5sCfQQKhg
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ007hcusgP
free more people for patrols and other duties.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEigBEAtzmA
This time though he had a593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3C8tuZp6c
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdr6NBqIcc
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKvqJUFlVW
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmwxViSQVE
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4VGvguLNc
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58lN7lryag
That's where he was 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV89sjUa82
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozaNmxIAfg
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEueqNvgtwq
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJItF5jJy5
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2i77sZzaE
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRBZJla218
better in his mind.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEnuEp9TMJ
Thus grabbing a torch as593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWtFi6e4iN
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wNH0Orr4J
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg0fRuYcYP
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAYCCt74jM
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySPrMUFk5a
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWizMJxDdYb
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBUnbpcFjS
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBArecHe50
his mind wander and just blanked out. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9c3B1Y5n3
Before he even noticed, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0joNxC6n
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs1Ygcow9w
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUrlSE6Jft
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVcA9x8N2Y
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5baZgpLF3
the smell of unwashed masses.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWW9RxpMGr
It did seem that David 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaTocWivqo
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMkPOULrXQ
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ3khjf7lI
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswHpLTgNhw
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJn2pj23uv
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rBkZZRNlT
seemed to satisfy Stevie.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPds1ajgtB
"Don't keep Francesca 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibisgAhTCF
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqS4ZFOlCL
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQiasLPMOK
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAFNg1TKlZ
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW8QvMF1ur
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAy1hWXELI
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uQxgvA1cK
walked away. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L17aH5Kbi
David smiled and waved 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y4DM8KM6T
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ODvygNXMd
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPYMGKy8Rc
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SvwnABKqq
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY04RV3zw06
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaIibzt8FJ
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2kW79s2Mu
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO4WTm36X7
the paragon of virtue.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TyJTH0iUN
Her room, as per usual, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbhBMak4L4
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0qq6zX0c3
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzEFSTpMhK
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat77kiXAMd
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf4JRmuizn
to light up all caverns and pathways. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn73XNgEww
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gDaoL2zBq
David sat down with a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwNTTDvqGZ
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAR0Aslroq
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhNN0D6pFJ
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NCJm93tqo
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oXc5g3n4X
in a stream. Delicious.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65D4odAsdV
"So pleasantries first or business first?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35b88oCkGh
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiRr6uITew
Francesca nodded and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScetAQG8G1
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSUbtohPj9
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZr1tiLxwK
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3eIkIODph
fast eating was paramount.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52cxHEdlDq
As expected David 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYKSUI5NQW
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfI8wBVT8v
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtRMhyzRst
deliberate eater.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRqn5EGLGd
"So on to business." She593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r0eQWGyk3
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3n1bECaEx
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8HBiETNqt
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNNquigFxh
"In a way. It's someone 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKdXMjDKeI
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS2uVYv4Cg
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX60VBWwvW
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW21AOk4jSj
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kYCHxa2oD
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4osD8ZSNZ
"Well, there is a 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikrJiiTiqz
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1RaGtkdgR
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTmnRHow2P
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQAh23ggrT
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEyYkekpV1
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dsrbEncJO
in a few days the edge of a different isle.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl6ysvvGZO
"We will also be moving 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW7Yz1VfER
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg6aAHlequ
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY2tb2rrpk
so some will know where to go."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrVIybgl4R
"That's good, why did 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgYSsz68Qr
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iy2E6CWoj
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV1I6PMeTy
was interested in the answer.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7EFjKPfdq
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD0n0jVV83
David nodded, not a full593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq2V3DfE8f
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0E1YPuldE
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNrLlm9Rus
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUztWl9Z9zG
"Thank you." She said 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwjQV4408U
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0WxiGFsRh
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyDgsrI6Dt
regroup at a specified point."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqENs1e6vY1
"How will you get 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdHPHrVE8O
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ios9fOZA
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNwGNSBoiW
city.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSf2wlHb6P
"We have small sky 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3hUyDSwEw
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUiulztwpi
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO7fQaNhxb
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dHCuJL9yX
group."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z7UtlyqQW
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XHSpDoaNw
She gave him a sad smile593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyj79Dzl1n
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqia7OZTnTV
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxA4zATTnv
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2NZYMC7XT
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaivgHN2ah2
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWstQRFQjqV
their past in the past.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnBUV9xGTP
"Now then, back to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOIvlgJlQd
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MxFcqeWbC
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CharNiGA8
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw2SJqglgb
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrRXMCyUO8
"You'll have it. I'm 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48YoWq93Ce
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ9QQtclcN
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpK1ddGly0
on a rock hard surface.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX4rJuJsom
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qYydqnFW3
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QvQHXWMhn
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb7G27PcBD
"Sadly no, I'm as 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl4OHJ4gEq
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSYnVUYNrF
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFjwJ6goCn
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJLJczxxAN
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcZv35pD7V
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwDq6slr6
"Do not worry, I am 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0skgjBKm
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51EJ3gAzd3
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnrdMfRLkB
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLVoEexmVY
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uexCyaLRY
"We're under attack, they found us."
