If David didn't dislike 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL4UztBqme
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldy7ooqfd3
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Lvss5ECj
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsdhi6mfAa
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOwfL1g5ns
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOsg3I19y8
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm8eBZgqBR
would just bite him to death first.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUbilmHrzP
His shoes were 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNMBsL96T
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LIIPP8Q9u
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyOHEmwIlg
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaYK5aJ7N5
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHetJW4D0f
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1btoieRp3
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaVHQPxHmB
from the various insects.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OHPKhFrJF
There was a silver 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUorwiXE0ZK
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmNHCqJAej
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhx04ipqMm
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3ybGHABHT
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNlK8JypcR
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKnwGGB3TM
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqLsUhv2Pb
Thankfully, Gob left 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApexUs0oEq
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGqeaGi0Ck
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsboKga8VqQ
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKefGXYRCDZ
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ASayk2LXr
be. ~641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNjK5D1rBh
While Gob did give a 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA0HCRl7dI
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaIMXxpK5M
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2d78IuQCa
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdDo77jBl6
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ78DwPdP4
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0DodmXNmi
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kaMNtqgF
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YbeTrI0bp
David nodded, even 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmnKAcNBO0
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpl2MqmANo
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPMmzjyeBL
voice was getting more excited.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc2tS8fBUK
"From the commonwealth 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy43mXlLKxX
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIXFnnHDeQ
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0LW7YD4kJ
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP23OKIFzZ2
gambling.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDGGtDgI6X
Denise bumbled his head 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEvRfKafYj
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW9dcNaCcB
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vav7yjYyy
after..." Denis trailed off 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i3iv5Cxbr
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ7zoPINj9
Denise brightened up at 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI095zJ9jv
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvICmN4IpcF
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBL9t5RPp
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbboW1fT3R
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4XV67rEa2
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoulQIehOh
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz0BjgXJ4c
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySFOwszREW
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qNtP0kMsB
Denise's eyes widened as641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQWdI1nZSA
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafGjhdjaa9
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff5FI2w7qj
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr2kbBcSTs
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd7zE2PaZo
"Alright enough chatter 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ycTtdoPJ4
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgED37wiDG
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolsVWGVivs
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF82kTIJVrE
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfcuxsBQpz
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nWTvITa5Q
Gathering all their 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY9hWYZKpG
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1EphFoYjs
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2fSwogemK
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWrrXjVAsK
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JCtKDtuqV
respectful.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmyeTLMSSR
"Sorry, but no." Gob 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxsYeWT5zr
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm7AF3FZLO
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw00rnKGXa
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoFaxpHLfI
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslXiuXBUh
the tough journey but no such luck641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRmcdKUpSi
David was impressed by 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oZXzxZhQY
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CyZgjaoJ6
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Awb2DmS6M
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGBAkcbZLz
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzQvNxLG31
Gob nodded. "Good you're641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ255zDBCnAD
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtqrgJ1cge
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPzObOgLwv
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYDRzNM5Ni
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHykQmcF5kd
the ships he served on.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXWjKwdZJi
Everyone began settling 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9NiQTZyq
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaShxBaJ1e
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JOIdrCYup
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIXDfPnCtk
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT4EAImvIU
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWtT7BwfIm
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRHDU8OYc8
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUHNSZt8SN
Everyone else finished 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXmHrtB7hf
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i0o5Yjkds
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2ZWLJWMJ
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjzQxUEVG6
the big wide world.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc1NM9IiUD
After a while, David 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmfGOMLGh1
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x4c5zcpge
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8rIZwSkyy
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe1cZB9UGK
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2TfPBG3qr
some trouble sleeping."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6jabxxrXb
Angela looked at the 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcTFq0pXw4
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0emWkKU1B
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfYVu0tIQQ
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRUHdseRk6
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F1bpFdezR
"Everyone needs a loving641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPxwmgYNIC
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni1jvVcyWF
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFdXMxPH9
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoubQTkXSGC
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaFECr8PZl
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ESOiGEKT
David nodded. "Aye I was."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j2FJ2pVma
"But how'd you survive?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOIB8KxUBz
"I'm just lucky I 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9eokfGYAy
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrsP8a5CQz
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wboS4KznX
yourself."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARXWuQ3Rs1
Angela blushed scarlet 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2We3sI2s7
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Tm0NrZyo
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePIc1aSyzG
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF8D8msEnO
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tMexm7VFH
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKwKFTl6LZ
reading."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ihoiNfwR
"He sounds like a good 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ931C4jhnAV
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uGowu2y0N
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX5Cn6RPkn
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDNdKG69PC
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g9AroHx6t
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LxlCFbn5R
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQIbHt4vCR
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07iZOgtW6r
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c1OFOOHXg
Angela quickly rubbed 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOYQ3KFdo9
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6UPmCc9M3
that." She added with an awkward laugh.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLOC3iGBVe
"Don't worry about it, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7eNxzQLRD
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaSGSqYsiN
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjrT4ZFIV4
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI8AEUen3Z
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTehIbdUphB
smile.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVv1LbLGI1
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe867SXBIeZ
The next person on watch641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSrROceIWM
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsH8ig4s9m
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVpsI11kx1
name, quietly not to wake up others.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKUBFOrM91
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAEsPqPTm1
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjzwd93jUq
Denis beamed at the words and slumped down besides David. "So, do you really think I'd be able to do it. Go all around Astaria?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8dINIARFb
"Sure, with me showing 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1CEBEsex7
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCRqp7XxfO
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvPkfcYUAl
scrap."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3rH0e20ma
Denis looked down a bit 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qkfr8hLNl
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAchqvV4fd
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w2MvWgnoi
what I can or can't do."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbICo8XoyH
David nodded. He 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzlEXtkSPV
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNBgNdiL1T
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvlQ1RHOmj
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkOgKwUMaD
Denis nodded, cheering 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBbkKPFeWl
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSw7iluzPs
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCAuDzkOix
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr7k3wDSSr
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG34tVa7GhO
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM8kuAvQbx
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRIVKhI5FA
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGLSyxCADl
Either way David wasn't 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKmNWtypI
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkDWswH6KT
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUfAnAV9s3
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES8H7Pz2UE
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcaonpaeiB
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb0bRyKGkD
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hnIX6zfKm
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvYqbyweP
After a lull in his 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNFMdKkvQ5
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHVNlSTdIl
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OrRxZkCkQ
"Oh! Well we think 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfju7GipbZF
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI7qGZb5gi
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKPjhVkaV7
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIe8mqNcjM
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98SALzr5DY
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAzXa8DXGQ
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuYQHjTuck
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJsBUsZpnA
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytWvMG8aPV
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJfTTDpGmn
happy songs.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqENflupiEo
After Denis's watch 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZupHpvl4a
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2kaz9cZTU
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYTjBkqXGc
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDSIhR8aCK
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyEPDVSwm1
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tX51yltlu
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlblsdYTNur
With a sight David 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFAYJnufCe
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPsE1MLeZz
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q4FZfrKLt
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo1HejrYi6
As Rock continued his 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXhWQQXHn
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsgD9lJuot
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhk4pktXbD
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewLp9xGZ0a
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySFQlG4yk8
To David's dismay the 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblU3YJOtnK
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXiksgzMzh
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiofhLmOFH7
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFrSkW0tkN
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgBjHP7uqY
gruesome journey.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLp6S3XjrY
As soon as he closed his641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFbsOJcOR5
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOzeaNcoMk
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2bIAXXotn
"Oh fall off, you cloud 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xx2AuoTU5
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6SAH5WnKC
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Lfx6mPa1
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx9VRMhDna
him. 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpRzhGWBSz
During the walk Denis 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIGZi1sTfn
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu3IPX7sMn
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcFJOofH2m
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdfSXcSNwc
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1bCNUFLYi
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GVUAeXfVO
"We're here." Gob 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOeS6Agfjk
finally announced after hours of walking. At some point of the journey 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMpHcqtzAn
David turned his brain off so he wasn't even sure how long they walked 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzostDLFbE
for. They were at an entrance to a cave, which was completely dark with 641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9fisbooyd
