"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwQeCpfLlq
Gob shook his head, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpZ0QB18JJ
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mv8vPniUJ
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0WI8WwJdp
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHN83ybAUF
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOpY76Ui6o
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW4xMzbipy
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJf2sppAbM
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJm6OAmdYU
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ3FI8TbQU
would move.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthN31EkGH3
Now David has only been 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI68oI819AS
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiEUDU7FXO
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cz16omjQF
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXDRF4TBWs
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxaxLOLJgv
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ134NCN2ebN
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8EdqjdHBu
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfmHnFINui
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUp8wIRcrz
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYm5NUI9af
divided loyalties.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUIVQbOMe
Another important thing 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4ojWl6cF1
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkez1OMGUO
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ybMXxb5XA
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLOlFWWuMd
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimEuynUILl
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860RIVFVzU
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM8F8mXb0w
their destination.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR9A67nWyo
Today they were out 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwfJxwqiCm
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIvVZ74Lco
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQHcBoEc3L
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u8LvUWsiV
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmx9wKDoEu
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFShYKQHYu
"Yes, now shut up and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqwOBdi5c4
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu761tTqXd5
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNaLIgvpO
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCiFwC6lGH
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJzW8FeV4T
They were at their 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip83QsVqKd
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbxBr8K8NA
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzFreu9U5o
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx511jv0LYA
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVnWy2iFfU
"Alright, that's enough.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PVZdnrqPr
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZHfXTh9Bi
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszNIXMM28T
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswcERcSG3
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlp95bB9xi
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTutgxBAOe
David walked in silence 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO58YkTNv1
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DDy5Slb5k
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eETJvqjvv
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFOVGLM17d
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UYNDDwj1c
A walk that would've 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsPwBh4YUc
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y5nc1pqDb
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXkmeDyffp
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRsxA0HkY2
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU1TVgSRxk
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmezgsQZO5
"I'll go report to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQXAUu8u7c
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLaFzqa37I
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyOp6oZtpC
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojTlvxEXN3
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6fjJ0wwf7
winning Gob over.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kM20wuCgz
Francesca on the other 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAC2RIoBkE
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyilUkpZ5Q
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4nbu2QAa0
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi9yz9GDs0
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9bYuE5no
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5lATD1Uwv
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpI0pltTAM
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHsDAkQeGG
David just wished he 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo1fAfCbpB
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEbix9Aspj
well no one said being a parasite was easy.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3hMcVwvD3
Further down the camps 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcybRuzrtl
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIa51UOa4Q
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE3fBsqUrz
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIIShqtJWQ
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpUybtNSkv
him. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgC6ONffSR
"What'cha doing?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogcvr7PRss
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq9YqSIWjB
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgHYVFs2fu
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp72kPctxHK
David nodded. The boy 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TlkQbfYk5
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaiPL6lGto
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMjUxD7Zpq
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J4a8YnMgH
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKKqhIr8Lv
read them someday."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayY3YTYp7K
Twitch muttered 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADqzrCmlRU
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMQvggKS2o
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBQlkOnDwP
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkYXbdI4WQ
Twitch started shaking 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglRsur58If
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlSXuUmD7o
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAVIBFBJ0O
jump back even more than David did581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijSgtWMeO7
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAW9QYVXnR
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJZWLWzjV
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JY45ziHj0
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWA9OCCwbV
any instinct he had.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU3GPSduWH
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADqUAwMpmg
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz8xT5ngwP
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSWi4KS5iw
now.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uOpyw8SXT
"Nonsense." Francesca 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqxGRtW1gJ
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RzkmnRwP0
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rFd9NT0Iy
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekz65NNiAT
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDS2Pm1XVp
dark red.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlV3VbeBwz
Francesca spared Twitch 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD0P9YPlRd
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIbgA22Kv3
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgbzvaGE86
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvhYVi1jBj
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqHiMhDCBY
was popularly called.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ucs7pqiwS
The rebels not only 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4opp3E8Ka
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyYFWf3as1
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoCL6MdKbS
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZIGQp8qbt
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxu4ndG9jL
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQWjy4cPOI
to them. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFmiK8VY0P
David attended one of 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAru8anzeno
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyHtYjDKA
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQjNPMnKGk
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWbnxbRGJs
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFuj5sM0v4
learn anything new.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dRbkngDUO
Before leading her group581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aip131Ipo
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcLDRoaY8i
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2C7UN5c68
"Of course, I'll see you581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2zzvE8YEZ
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4uWuFhq40
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJqTtIogCC
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTDo9zKXR2
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkm2nFeIbF
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyP35NWkwi
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRWjqAI1Hw
remember his parents or family.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumTvLSlnQf
Francesca, unaware of 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRjaW4dtPE
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj4Ng2jsQd
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6t5WtQL9F
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjgPNrSTVd
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BbzpVHtqt
Nook was an interesting 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGEoc0Fggh
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWlLoHasT6
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFIYOigSR7
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhfx02kgIy
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e2AYn3AZn
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SSGtIFHpJ
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooLM81nWuq
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH9YWavG8a
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPI6ed7Tva
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsqV95MMKt
Nook grinned a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WLTXEeTrF
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw3RWl6X1r
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqByZP4yie
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS0omjbZuk
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLvAXHBLDW
backs.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDxRcUd6c3
Thus any card games were581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rBJoz82xS
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYi2AeO9aM
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4CXR96DGG
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuXxXTiack
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvlnivY7p
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcgM5dzpgS
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBk5lpMei2
did have.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTinSoQbN6I
Some did think it was a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8aXdMkzaI
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWdy2maVfE
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34cfIdj1mH
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ljLp8hLv
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMzseGupmR
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu3k5kOFnk
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijHReYsGS1
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62axP2xg4i
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYyPz2RXLu
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfUO7jITI4
food has been.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2EyNGrNWf
They were the four main 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37g3vDnWut
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRHXfiTbjc
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnoZgTPObP
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xh1ab1hPA
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueIDTrJNwC
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk2ygeh84D
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFASyRs8lE
and accepted them.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUw71DQcyq
"''Ello boys." David 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU4O3gNrNn
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90FinhapfD
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMN2i9YKyV
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkI8GIu2aK
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLSbAOm3ro
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcKdfbt3tA
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeD8Tkq9QE
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJNlST2f7I
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF56YgGvBq
least for his own benefit. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGT6r9KW8e
Nook was the first to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoppMkqhIyV
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37NmOtWulW
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqf8XNF7Y
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFTLsRaHIN
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXuctTu3AP
Tiruk, in answer, just 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHFzfinrfZ
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJQSid5kEt
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXxNYS4UJS
Next card revealed. A 3 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA8y2mtl28
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4EKcfTYxW
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rCg5xyct9
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Yl5AGbYh
very happy, old, man.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw1gyKZdMK
Since David didn't have 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS9XQjTILR
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Lxs4lsPI
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ZjQO6YbI
would be safe to take a walk.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOCr9Iu4O1
Another thing he took to581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkPEmQifcx
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTKr7jpATM
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ipGJCBxM7
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BsAhhnQtf
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfhNtViwv4
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5V7wYdwNw
He also found various 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmbtyWDFgL
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvYn0kX6SU
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT4UjcW5UT
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxEZK6OwUN
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MFI1Hgfmx
being more careful.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGHiGJUy3O
The caves themselves 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYBHOv5V8b
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWRSP5XOM3
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwtcTl2arS
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdWwAoT5lr
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz7v7mQly4
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQJwk94E9x
himself that limited their exploring time.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1163149nse
That let David offer his581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkOiJ1gEs1
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtXkRUzRgn
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbmd36202B
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJypCGeRm7p
free more people for patrols and other duties.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxingJTma8
This time though he had a581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI495MBYb6
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26taklAv4m
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT72FEmLmI
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2qhCKmEzS
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MErdXlfkY
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrXnVAKGlY
That's where he was 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB6NqLpg2V
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3unWhm9ASL
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9SZtBvbVM
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH335KwKT1
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosWEhrE60i
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrjJqVAxhX
better in his mind.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp2zEQhwbw
Thus grabbing a torch as581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPBYLdMQhE
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVfXSp8v82
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiHoK0LtmE
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHqkfZgS1I
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7bswP3agJ
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDFoh5h0Xe
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfDkCeOGN
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYirXvIK2q3
his mind wander and just blanked out. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJkSMNXyH
Before he even noticed, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjBvvxm9x
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcYIvju7tR
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAztH3cLSH
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfECPlN1Gr
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWAc6W42n2
the smell of unwashed masses.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMSqThFu7a
It did seem that David 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bPEVbTxJI
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwH5L831KC
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhICeYG0Jye
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EEQYF2npr
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMSv5PTFzX
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR0kZJkDPw
seemed to satisfy Stevie.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPSVf3WDFs
"Don't keep Francesca 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxMk3yRAsy
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkBU0AO7bA
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrJOqAoE77
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL9YvZoDd1
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2MuD25h8T
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEKnyil0Hj
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf9mrsH0rj
walked away. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnsNAhPRkS
David smiled and waved 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVMhfX9jFm
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ74WXdZKcy
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0rx7Jo3Hm
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mKLVBNxZS
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PnDToiQoI
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Wfn9e1yw
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lDgEZG6V
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBCAj6ko2C
the paragon of virtue.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTzTjJmZig
Her room, as per usual, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBtyjdTbv0
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgUTKpkSjp
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcIkWmxaRR
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kATprn4Te
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCMbUcgKiY
to light up all caverns and pathways. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY5hC0NdZn
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdwmG6qJdq
David sat down with a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxWgcDi7g1
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nTZC5SlSl
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbx9NJZ6pT
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1HJZGgx9a
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EgGVeZU8X
in a stream. Delicious.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdzz2BBSx4
"So pleasantries first or business first?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ140zHsHlQB
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Ol9nXS1x
Francesca nodded and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEt0xQVBS8
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEKeVnkL5a
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqaoRKo7oF
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHvP7ykdbY
fast eating was paramount.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgNA1hzPy7
As expected David 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH9D2MKibX
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCzAKLUW0F
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mbhZ210lh
deliberate eater.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlvalHdWwm
"So on to business." She581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthwcRZpekN
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpMMTjVDd5
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcOKQ1mOeK
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ewkFpinC3
"In a way. It's someone 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbUB0whrvo
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyyS0Vhv4O
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6V8aljgbw
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLfBFRyUDG
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSvPJCUAtm
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vKuYHDB9E
"Well, there is a 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnOnd24PrE
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaEmjZwomg
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFawmNXxfBc
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQyg9FyTX
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv6EcklDet
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUjGTO1W7U
in a few days the edge of a different isle.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdte4NO38vF
"We will also be moving 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT7bPnp96G
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJOjiJQD7d
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC2n4nQKFT
so some will know where to go."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVniP4Qhupb
"That's good, why did 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL7mTwivUf
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioxyN7x0l8
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbbjE6JPej
was interested in the answer.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWSp7XLncW
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGga6wPUyfG
David nodded, not a full581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyHhsZWWZ
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVsbjkc6C1
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivEFzLUYtj
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRRdRyDdI3
"Thank you." She said 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRoEjNwJZH
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLMD1Ubnge
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj11FRF49N
regroup at a specified point."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0qWx6Fvqa
"How will you get 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPGehcmL0A
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLrR22G8gE
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7FUYeeBM
city.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HDwTBF4Zn
"We have small sky 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlrRld67vN
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtla5UTaKes
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiNoiTN8pJ
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs712ZanMro
group."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zw7NHmzPW
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLvwQ638Rb
She gave him a sad smile581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2l2wvm2Hb
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOvCxoRNIj
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO95NF4Sq8
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUxpudepop
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsJEE9KlRS
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LLB2B4C6w
their past in the past.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYe5Wfe1Sd
"Now then, back to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg1YD38vLY
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn039AUsPFz
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsiyZtfJmj
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMJNsZjbol
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS64RdR72mj
"You'll have it. I'm 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KdAie92A8
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYtuvwOgI
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEaJF4iCnF
on a rock hard surface.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYATKBglI1D
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BqgwCDFKQ
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdonAlODT7g
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92T8rr1Fm2
"Sadly no, I'm as 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Maj7GdoC
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJj9qoayhV
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9r1iWVrlJ
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDXDJmJ0zL
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaoIKOP01B
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZLdMF0C6p
"Do not worry, I am 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOHwi6r0os
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2jDTE7Oby
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnle48izdiK
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeRJhAO1px
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXGpJKcPxB
"We're under attack, they found us."
