They are men and women 787Please respect copyright.PENANAYmErc84qCS
who aren't able to cast. Nonetheless they are trained to combat ether 787Please respect copyright.PENANAXsCt2eR1Ws

787Please respect copyright.PENANAozSuBBhfUR
Davids relief didn't 787Please respect copyright.PENANAg4bkH1u2Qo
last long as he saw Gob slowly coming out of the water and joining him 787Please respect copyright.PENANAs92i5lK0uu
on the shore, barely looking tired, no in fact, taking a better look, he787Please respect copyright.PENANACGLuYUK6YG
didn't even look tired. Gob pulled someone else from the water, someone787Please respect copyright.PENANAHMBBphfEnJ
who had it even worse than David. Her brown hair was plastered to her 787Please respect copyright.PENANA0VMJNP8GpY
head and face as she was reeking water and barely breathing. David would787Please respect copyright.PENANADVtx8remai
be lying if he said that he didn't feel a bit better knowing he was 787Please respect copyright.PENANAcCTUZ5JQij
better off than Angela.787Please respect copyright.PENANACfNWb3Z39n
"Breathe slowly and calm787Please respect copyright.PENANA7FCMO4rbWd
down. It'll only be worse if you take quick breathes." Came Gobs calm 787Please respect copyright.PENANApePTZL2Wpi
voice as he was wringing his beard from the water. It did seem to have a787Please respect copyright.PENANA5C0TMb0D7B
bit of an effect on Angela as she visibly calmed down and her breathing787Please respect copyright.PENANAiA99Sp0tJV
got steadier.787Please respect copyright.PENANAdCVrFj7CFS
"Useless." Gob said as 787Please respect copyright.PENANAmOoCOZwvFb
he inspected his musket and pistol, dropping them on the grassy shore, 787Please respect copyright.PENANArdmIgzWawu
but nodded as he took out his knife and examined the edge. "Well when 787Please respect copyright.PENANAJAytCpOifD
you two are done we can start moving, we have places to be."787Please respect copyright.PENANAMTIizLeyOV
After his conversation 787Please respect copyright.PENANACHEJchn0yi
with Francesca, David knew where they had to be. David just wasn't sure 787Please respect copyright.PENANAom2NKxhhqy
if Francesca told Gob about their conversation so, he decided, it would 787Please respect copyright.PENANAsehQZRmfjy
be best to keep quiet, lest he wanted to be tied up again.787Please respect copyright.PENANAb5ed4riFNp
"Where...where to?" Came Angela's question with a rasp.787Please respect copyright.PENANAFL8aCd6yno
"To get new weapons and 787Please respect copyright.PENANAjMSazmUwGo
find the others." Gob said, putting his knife back into his sheathe and 787Please respect copyright.PENANATNURPly0w7
drying his shoes from any excess water.787Please respect copyright.PENANALm2n0dAn6Q
"Wai...wait. They might still be stuck in there! We..need to go back." Angela said, her voice slowly coming back.787Please respect copyright.PENANA0HxFroIAjE
"If they are then it's too late. Now come on let's go." Gob said, unflinching.787Please respect copyright.PENANAu5gr5xo9C9
"No!" Angela stood up 787Please respect copyright.PENANAJ83zbdWc7B
and faced Gob. Which was impressive as Gob towered over her, he towered 787Please respect copyright.PENANAwk6x3tibyH
over most people. "I will not abandon them They might be alive and..and I787Please respect copyright.PENANATzcdKv2i0h
won't lose them." Gob didn't answer. He just glared at Angela until she787Please respect copyright.PENANAn993lj4hIl
averted her glaze. He nodded when she did so.787Please respect copyright.PENANA0HkM7jRPOc
"If I could do anything 787Please respect copyright.PENANAlAjdJCLb91
for them I would." Angela gave a weak nod to that. Gob grunted and began787Please respect copyright.PENANAaNJqfPDjs3
walking. He kicked David, who was still enjoying the ground underneath 787Please respect copyright.PENANAYvI9PnDckT
him, for good measure as well. "As much as I hate it you're coming with 787Please respect copyright.PENANAuMxxlNJefZ
us. Now get up."787Please respect copyright.PENANA6wU1zDiXwX
David grumbled but got up. Not much else to do but follow the man with the plan, and the knife, and the murderous intent.787Please respect copyright.PENANAvqoRMjfnc0
Thus, they began their 787Please respect copyright.PENANA69yf8Kjroy
journey, in silence except for the squeaks their clothes and shoes made.787Please respect copyright.PENANAmowtnm60wV
David was miserable, with the sun slowly setting down he was barely 787Please respect copyright.PENANAzYtWOzdvUq
able to see what's in front of him, barely being able to suppress a 787Please respect copyright.PENANAYb2OlhvIqW
shiver whenever there was a gust of wind. Angela was pretty much the 787Please respect copyright.PENANATnZ9XSAlmt
same, except that she was also sullen and worried for her brothers. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAkNGHEnXL8x
David tried opening a conversation a few times but she just smiled 787Please respect copyright.PENANAKdaNmDHx1X
weakly. David was confused why she either followed him or Gob instead of787Please respect copyright.PENANAcbK3ZplXFt
following one of her brothers, but it didn't seem like she was up to 787Please respect copyright.PENANAGbsqwiQhaH
answering that, no matter how much David prodded.787Please respect copyright.PENANAP9UUxj8MEx
The only one not 787Please respect copyright.PENANAWWTvMLXw9t
affected by his current condition seemed to be Gob. He managed to avoid 787Please respect copyright.PENANAbqm2FDSPwA
any loose branches or an uneven part of the mud, even his clothes didn't787Please respect copyright.PENANA1xWRNjBh3H
make any noise when walking. The only thing he really reacted to was 787Please respect copyright.PENANABDJrAsmMgw
gunfire, which could still be heard from the direction of their hideout.787Please respect copyright.PENANAjHTylMSO3I
It was also the only thing that woke Angela from her stupor as whenever787Please respect copyright.PENANAR43WTEk2K1
it rang she immediately looked at the direction they walked from. But 787Please respect copyright.PENANANPAO7ciA5R
even those stopped, whether because of distance or the fact that there 787Please respect copyright.PENANAGAYJMp2yKu
was no more fighting, David didn't know.787Please respect copyright.PENANAlCdybPBknD
David hoped that 787Please respect copyright.PENANAAQWyJ6LNnr
adrenaline would keep him going for a while, David wasn't sure how long 787Please respect copyright.PENANAXbb63nNQGW
they've been walking but with the blood pumping through his veins he 787Please respect copyright.PENANAOeAsSerl9Q
felt like he could walk a few more days straight. Hoping didn't seem to 787Please respect copyright.PENANAG3C5aotTop
work for David, never did really, as the adrenaline was wearing down. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAKeaIZ0EnPz
Slowing down more and more. Gob looked back and noticed David slowing 787Please respect copyright.PENANA2ShmFSWucv
down giving him a look of disdain, but then he looked at Angela who 787Please respect copyright.PENANAz4jm1LkLtw
wasn't doing much better and sighted. "We can take a rest. Sit down, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAT468LTfJoP
I'll try finding some berries or anything for us to eat." 787Please respect copyright.PENANAegTFTDxGBm
David slouched to the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAAjLhw994gU
ground with a grateful sight while Angela sat down with her back to a 787Please respect copyright.PENANATyhDl3SDj0
tree, hiding her head in her knees, as silent as she was during the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAirqx9ACQFg
whole walk. David didn't care how devastated she felt, but if she wasn't787Please respect copyright.PENANAMGNXNf00Km
fully there with them they might get ambushed and David didn't survive 787Please respect copyright.PENANA9nX38tbxfj
so long just to have a teenage girl kill him because she was going 787Please respect copyright.PENANAPH3theEle0
through mood swings. "Hey, they're strong. Even Twitch, I'm sure they're787Please respect copyright.PENANAAkoAnU1rcX
fine and when we see them they'll be as cheery as ever." He called out 787Please respect copyright.PENANA4lvqOHElhJ
from his spot, not bothering to move closer to Angela787Please respect copyright.PENANAWGx0HND8X8
No answer. ~Oh hells, do787Please respect copyright.PENANANTgKaieSiB
we have another Rock on our hands? ~ David waited to see if he was 787Please respect copyright.PENANA82Iyp52RLG
going to get anything from her. Mostly because he didn't know what else 787Please respect copyright.PENANAcN4ZvkuZ3p
he could say. After what felt like an eternity he heard...someone 787Please respect copyright.PENANAxoqdQLfLeD
sniffling and saw Angela shake. With a suppressed sight David got up and787Please respect copyright.PENANAhNT36hQH2i
sat beside Angela, he hovered his hand above her shoulder but decided 787Please respect copyright.PENANAdKRZXyEhkF
against putting it on her.787Please respect copyright.PENANAYaFi1z1whS
"I...I should've been 787Please respect copyright.PENANAwGHXUarv6A
there. I should've been there when pa was shot, I should've been there 787Please respect copyright.PENANA2c77fQW2sc
now. Oh gods...oh gods...." She continued in that vain for a while 787Please respect copyright.PENANAVeyVqfgt78
seemingly not aware of her surroundings or any words that came out of 787Please respect copyright.PENANADGceVmI4yC
David's mouth.787Please respect copyright.PENANA1YIK4M6x9I
"Why weren't you? Now, I787Please respect copyright.PENANA2L6PbLIK9n
mean, when the attack happened?" David asked anxiously, he wasn't the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAsKW3uNGRBu
best when dealing with hysteric people. Again, no answer came, just more787Please respect copyright.PENANAI1sYCFwyhZ
cries. David lost hope of ever getting an answer, but one finally came.787Please respect copyright.PENANAr1B4xG4tJW
"It happened so fast. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAOFuXqrOmt8
I've tried following them, but I lost track of them... No that's wrong, I787Please respect copyright.PENANAft72XCR4en
could see them during the attack but I couldn't get to them. And when 787Please respect copyright.PENANAJOda3cssdY
everyone started retreating...oh god it was like a butchery. So when I 787Please respect copyright.PENANADIAfmgMiMn
saw Gob turning a corner I followed. I was scared...I was scared...oh 787Please respect copyright.PENANA3FFZbzJocW
gods I murdered them because I was scared." And then she began muttering787Please respect copyright.PENANAPBWcfpbydL
to herself again787Please respect copyright.PENANAz8NlL67z2Q
David struggled to find words, but thankfully Gob saved them from the awkward silence as he came back from his hunting trip.787Please respect copyright.PENANAR9z3vBAkkj
The mighty hunter 787Please respect copyright.PENANAE2bHN4Te4p
managed to gather fruits and berries, apparently the fighting had scared787Please respect copyright.PENANAqyyBnVeD1n
most of the animals away, and they couldn't make a fire so they were 787Please respect copyright.PENANAkRhWujy3Yb
stuck being cold, miserable and hungry. Berries weren't the most 787Please respect copyright.PENANAKHpJDYZKmS
fulfilling things to have on an empty stomach 787Please respect copyright.PENANA1S9FRGcLHW
Their respite didn't 787Please respect copyright.PENANAQU7FgbyxpA
last long, and they were on their way soon after. Angela seemed to have 787Please respect copyright.PENANAEKk7HiYaDK
calmed down, she still wasn't participating in conversations, but she 787Please respect copyright.PENANAVgjEui2lK9
wasn't crying either and David counted that as a win. Even if Angela 787Please respect copyright.PENANAN9yyfTF7SW
wasn't paying attention to anything around her, David decided to trust 787Please respect copyright.PENANAN2OkhjQT2t
in Gobs awareness of the surroundings to protect them from any ambushes,787Please respect copyright.PENANA0OBX8DrAOD
he seemed to know where David was at all times, so he might as well put787Please respect copyright.PENANAxD1Ri4iXc6
that skill to actual good use.787Please respect copyright.PENANARMwtoAPPQ1
Thankfully their walk 787Please respect copyright.PENANAigjBIQZqxG
didn't last long, moving through the overgrown bushes and trees they 787Please respect copyright.PENANAZyeT2XYYuC
reached the edge of the isle, looking down to the surface covered by 787Please respect copyright.PENANAtE8S8u14Wq
clouds. It was told that if you'd look long enough over the edge you'd 787Please respect copyright.PENANAHtJIWvLDS8
go crazy, as far as David could tell that was true. Everyone he flew 787Please respect copyright.PENANAklfemwvtJj
with was one degree of crazy or another, including David himself.787Please respect copyright.PENANAYEnAjyPZSI
Gob motioned for them to787Please respect copyright.PENANAnC3hbVwvpC
wait as he went back into the forest, David was about to start another 787Please respect copyright.PENANArXnnlLGeD6
awkward conversation with Angela, but Gob returned quite quickly. He 787Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dlg9ewJYl
didn't return alone though, he had a fly boat with him, which he 787Please respect copyright.PENANAMc4pTqjoib
conveniently carried on his shoulder.787Please respect copyright.PENANAdxIA8NGW8l
Fly boats were made out 787Please respect copyright.PENANAHTUD6Ae4sN
of wood and had a ether engine on them. While smaller than ship engines,787Please respect copyright.PENANArjROZH0scc
they managed to lift the boat and three or four people, with the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAgIDwqYisNH
paddles being used to move while airborne. Movement was agonizingly slow787Please respect copyright.PENANAHyZ7uy4WVS
on them as well as dangerous. Ether engines were basically bombs, even 787Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rf20wnTD6
small ones. Ships had precautions for that, security equipment shield 787Please respect copyright.PENANAzJzAxVqUGw
from the worst of it, of course it mattered little in the end, but the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAfcdbbTdDqZ
boats didn't even pretend to have those measures. So, Gob was basically 787Please respect copyright.PENANAhmpWdrRJoo
carrying a bomb on his shoulders, with the same facial expression he ate787Please respect copyright.PENANAJqGS2C3oXL
or smiled. A frown.787Please respect copyright.PENANANiusUNryTo
He put the boat down on 787Please respect copyright.PENANAVsy0U4uutC
ground and activated the engine with a practiced motion. The engine 787Please respect copyright.PENANAFdk3F0NAp4
started making a sound. Gob nodded, lifted the boat and made some more 787Please respect copyright.PENANABNKTkhdufs
motions which made the boat stay at that height. David had seen some 787Please respect copyright.PENANA4vrDLszJOG
boats while serving on ships and he knew they had no way to actually 787Please respect copyright.PENANAa5x8EwWz67
lift themselves up, only to float. Ships were the same, but with all the787Please respect copyright.PENANAJBD9jVc0YW
technology attached to the ship they were also able to lift themselves 787Please respect copyright.PENANAaSDBhqRqUc
up. David moved his hand across his eyepatch and scar, the engine was 787Please respect copyright.PENANADmSiZTiTZ3
making his wounds ache.787Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ3Q0bYxAb
Gob put the boat over 787Please respect copyright.PENANA8og3CxeLTs
the edge and jumped into it making the boat float down a bit but it came787Please respect copyright.PENANADsRjeNpw9r
back to its assigned height in moments. "Well come on, we don't have 787Please respect copyright.PENANAyycvom1PKy
all day." David and Angela promptly followed, one more tentatively than 787Please respect copyright.PENANAa4IEAvRe6m
the other. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAaAmtfFGhek
Gob handed David the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAoHr4aOolOf
paddles and he knew better than to argue. There went a relaxing trip 787Please respect copyright.PENANAe7crM445vU
over the bottomless skies with a bomb as his companion. Death seemed to 787Please respect copyright.PENANAO9DdLjFG1Y
always just be one step either behind or ahead, David still couldn't 787Please respect copyright.PENANA3E6TnDx4np
decide which. ~There are worse fates than death~. David wholeheartedly 787Please respect copyright.PENANAvehMid9XBt
believed this was definitely one of those fates.787Please respect copyright.PENANAHIdFVoOyAY
All though David did 787Please respect copyright.PENANAaECBjjPlqY
grumble the boat itself moved quite fast. With both Gob and David 787Please respect copyright.PENANAE5nLCve3gC
paddling they made good time and soon enough they got their rhythm and 787Please respect copyright.PENANA9H2itdy6Fu
David's mind blanked out. He didn't even notice when they reached the 787Please respect copyright.PENANASUFDFVzlRm
edge of the other isle, at the very leas not much time passed, judging 787Please respect copyright.PENANAChkvMYDp9r
by the sun.787Please respect copyright.PENANA06Brex7pDj
They all disembarked, 787Please respect copyright.PENANA8v4DdRw6gJ
and Gob opened a trapdoor hiding the boat after disabling its engine.. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAR0cWHeo3gT
When all seemed to his liking he closed the door and hid it with some 787Please respect copyright.PENANARanQp9PTHo
make shift ground and grass "We'll need to find a place to sleep. My 787Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q6ySEuxVB
friends wanted to meet tomorrow so we'll need to find a safe spot." 787Please respect copyright.PENANAaXrUfCRgcj
David had no idea what day it was or how long it's been since the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAUTD1AGYWPI
attack, good thing Gob the human sized watch was on the job.787Please respect copyright.PENANA4qwl4AHeNB
"How do they manage to 787Please respect copyright.PENANAWrVlnB6Mdb
slip past the patrols?" David asked, it just seemed like they were 787Please respect copyright.PENANAWeDgWzW42V
walking into a trap, especially after the attack. Gob kept walking and 787Please respect copyright.PENANAaGju0wJpiM
it didn't look like he was going to answer, but at the end he relented. "787Please respect copyright.PENANAJNFuPjs1Qa
They have special...permission to be on any isles they want, as long as787Please respect copyright.PENANANRJ5Oo3NG2
it's a good reason no one will suspect them."787Please respect copyright.PENANAXaVWiN0qBI
David nodded, the answer787Please respect copyright.PENANAprD87CBHs6
didn't ease his worries, but it was the only answer he had and not like787Please respect copyright.PENANAybb3NXC28D
he had much of a choice but to follow their glorious leader.787Please respect copyright.PENANA9cewJ95WeC
One thing David noticed,787Please respect copyright.PENANA54xQX99AkO
during their walk, was that some of the shrubbery was more burned and 787Please respect copyright.PENANAuD4IG7MYcR
drier on this isle. This wasn't so rare. Apparently when their ancestors787Please respect copyright.PENANAEzXOQFbbU3
were plunged into the skies they couldn't hope with the change of 787Please respect copyright.PENANAqNhoE0CFta
weather. No rain or protection from the sun meant that many trees and 787Please respect copyright.PENANAMohxa9ca3d
plants either caught fire or dried out. Mages had to think fast and some787Please respect copyright.PENANAPDEGu5EXLh
of the isles were luckier than others, with the mages making everything787Please respect copyright.PENANAdnVdbPb0KR
self-sustainable. Over time the forests adapted, and new seeds didn't 787Please respect copyright.PENANAcqsBYVclai
require rain to survive. The aftermath could still be seen on most 787Please respect copyright.PENANAekarjEpeSk
isles, especially on ones that rulers deemed inconsequential. Oh, what 787Please respect copyright.PENANAs4n5dHeEfj
things you learn while travelling with people from all flights of life.787Please respect copyright.PENANAfP5DPbbdxJ
It made him remember 787Please respect copyright.PENANAod9ZC2l796
life before meeting the rebels. Much more carefree, just flying, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAnLJifP8fBB
gambling, sometimes betraying. A happier life, happier than walking 787Please respect copyright.PENANA8BS5pj1J6a
around in the mud and cold at least. ~Happiness is for people who aren't787Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Bvg8ZLTp
damaged. The chosen few who get to enjoy it, while the rest just 787Please respect copyright.PENANA1r7LOFa8RC
pretend to have it. ~ Indeed, happiness was something David could never 787Please respect copyright.PENANAKUDgzXJjUM
feel or archieve. He could only pretend to feel it. David accepted that 787Please respect copyright.PENANAZEVwExbaOf
as part of his life, he wasn't sure when he did but he knew it happened a787Please respect copyright.PENANAJvTGqtZ4KJ
while ago.787Please respect copyright.PENANA7fJdCJfnHG
Just as previously they 787Please respect copyright.PENANACsAdbphTE2
walked in silence, with Gob in the lead pausing every so often to listen787Please respect copyright.PENANAQD4ZYsbqUE
to his surroundings. Until reaching their next camping spot. On top of a787Please respect copyright.PENANA2B6jdolNlN
hill with dried out yellow grass. Not a lot of trees surrounding them, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAY06HvYuBGf
but only one way to get on top of the hill. Easy to defend and easy to 787Please respect copyright.PENANAfaKLinI5US
get spotted if not careful. Gob went to go hunt and left David and 787Please respect copyright.PENANA3hpqAUnfpf
Angela on their own to set up camp. David was able to follow Gob, with 787Please respect copyright.PENANAExwBf8Yeun
his eyes, now that the colours of his uniform did not match the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAT5cbjgSCR2
surroundings, of course that didn't mean he could do it for long and 787Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z50x8w3Ll
sooner rather than later Gob disappeared from David's view.787Please respect copyright.PENANAgZiGCFqDCx
David was apprehensive 787Please respect copyright.PENANAmdPYahpmAj
on starting a conversation with Angela, thus he just concentrated on 787Please respect copyright.PENANAB2WREtp6nP
making his sleeping spot as comfortable as possible, while she sat with 787Please respect copyright.PENANAYX83rv1RHd
her head down. It didn't take Gob long to come back with some food, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAmsA65UBsIY
berries and such again. It didn't look like he had any luck hunting. 787Please respect copyright.PENANA7yfHo4fdor
Maybe he was just rubbish at it. That thought made David feel better.787Please respect copyright.PENANAB1G2KinL3R
Before they all turned 787Please respect copyright.PENANAwyb2gm3tzz
to their respective spots on the ground Gob approached David. "You'll 787Please respect copyright.PENANAIvmZ741o3v
take the second watch, I'll wake you." David just started to say 787Please respect copyright.PENANAuKTHqKiN52
something, but Gob turned around and stalked away before any words could787Please respect copyright.PENANApGGcPp67fq
be formed. Shrugging David laid down on the ground and contemplated how787Please respect copyright.PENANAbpaDnp6hBN
far he and Gob came. ~Sure, and soon he'll let his guard down and will 787Please respect copyright.PENANAr0cOe0ySZc
be an easy target~ David went to sleep imagining that sweet thought.787Please respect copyright.PENANA7sYIA4jtRF
Sadly the sweet dream 787Please respect copyright.PENANA7wgDvpebNM
turned into a nightmare, as he was rudely woken up by Gob, who 787Please respect copyright.PENANAEQbj6314nH
immediately went away after kicking David awake. Rubbing his eyes David 787Please respect copyright.PENANAj276rYiHRf
walked to a boulder which provided a good view of the only path up to 787Please respect copyright.PENANAUgGL9wp4ti
the hill. He wasn't sure what he was actually supposed to do if imperial787Please respect copyright.PENANAMXYft9IJVO
soldiers found them, wake everyone up so they'd be arrested in an 787Please respect copyright.PENANAI0QfUP83Uq
orderly manner? Or pretend he's a huge bear? David contemplated on 787Please respect copyright.PENANAHmqEkgTCo0
making a roaring noise but quickly subdued that thought. Gob would 787Please respect copyright.PENANA7kRid6jAmm
probably kill him and the bear, imaginary or not.787Please respect copyright.PENANAN1ffCBN3zw
~Or maybe just hide yourself or betray them. Wouldn't be the first time. Not like they matter. ~ 787Please respect copyright.PENANAtdMMVQ8bMv
David shook his head and787Please respect copyright.PENANAFQc6MtdpuT
let his mind wander to more cheery thoughts and over time the sun came 787Please respect copyright.PENANAPCq4bJ9Z2S
back shining light on all the yellowish grass. Slowly Angela and Gob 787Please respect copyright.PENANAgajWnwSlRc
joined David in the wake world. It was so nice and quiet without them 787Please respect copyright.PENANAuIIEAK3Poz
too.787Please respect copyright.PENANAycD7XaAWU6
They spent the morning 787Please respect copyright.PENANAo0FYlxX1e7
in silence finishing all the berries; Gob was his usual gruff self. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAg2FDM8isEY
David was feeling tired and Angela was still grieving. ~What a fun 787Please respect copyright.PENANAyor8RCpkT3
crowd. ~787Please respect copyright.PENANAthFJNZfstf
After they were all done787Please respect copyright.PENANAj6kEmml1S1
their journey began anew. Surprisingly David felt positive about it, 787Please respect copyright.PENANA4hqNcTYrAN
his clothes were finally dry, the sun was out and shining. He even 787Please respect copyright.PENANA3BK7FcKoCu
started to believe that it wasn't a trap they were walking into. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAFPzuwYewnC
Positivity all around.787Please respect copyright.PENANAZW8f3yp9Ka
Soon they reached the 787Please respect copyright.PENANAawbHARDOaL
meeting spot. A secluded edge of the isle, surrounded by dead and burned787Please respect copyright.PENANAIHeXde2zkl
trees. There were people there already, a small crowd with a smaller 787Please respect copyright.PENANAGfMXHWzX3x
ship floating above a crack. The aforementioned ship was flying league 787Please respect copyright.PENANAH5mLxQQn0o
colours. That explained why they'd be able to go here without much 787Please respect copyright.PENANAqPL7zXFDlt
scrutiny. Some of the trading princes were rich enough to buy their own 787Please respect copyright.PENANAHxQxWp8UOc
isles so bribing a few officials to look the other way wouldn't be too 787Please respect copyright.PENANA5l4lcd4fHo
hard and as long as they weren't caught doing anything suspicious 787Please respect copyright.PENANA2BLTxdra72
everyone won.787Please respect copyright.PENANA7V0vm4rsvH
Gob seemed to be pretty 787Please respect copyright.PENANAp5ZvFCGyYW
tense, while still out of the view of the men he slid his knife out of 787Please respect copyright.PENANAagBJNEDLyq
the sheathe and hid it in his sleeve. Having finished his preparations 787Please respect copyright.PENANA3BDONiGYAL
he made his way towards the group of people. Without further 787Please respect copyright.PENANAVJgRDH0Vbj
instructions from Gob, shrugging, David followed Gob, with Angela slowly787Please respect copyright.PENANAIuHRFdukTd
making her way behind David.787Please respect copyright.PENANA3CaPqxX2DT
"Where's Lev?" Gob 787Please respect copyright.PENANA9s3QapTwwk
shouted from a distance. One of the men walked up and put his hands up 787Please respect copyright.PENANAyJUbTsZTcy
in a cheerful manner. "Couldn't make it, friend. My name is Ioseph. Lev 787Please respect copyright.PENANAFbJW5phcd3
told me everything. You are Gob, yes?"787Please respect copyright.PENANA3PLmSiPc60
Reaching the middle 787Please respect copyright.PENANANr1ceeHiWC
point the two men met and Gob carefully nodded. " Why not?" Ioseph 787Please respect copyright.PENANArGCDJBsi00
shrugged jovially. "Dangerous times, friend.A lot of pirates, a lot of 787Please respect copyright.PENANAcgzNClAS0G
guard, a lot of unpaid debts..." Ioseph's voice had an edge while saying787Please respect copyright.PENANAIZyNPxze23
the last bit. Before anyone could do anything, Gob and grabbed Ioseph 787Please respect copyright.PENANAlCdrpXuxEV
and quickly put a knife to his throat.787Please respect copyright.PENANALHefVNQ7cS
Before David could 787Please respect copyright.PENANAf1wjPfswpx
react, shouts came and boots hit the ground as soldiers emerged from the787Please respect copyright.PENANANIClohUHuj
league ship. All the guns were aimed at the group of four. A soldier, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ5ZocqvYT
most likely the leader judging by his hat and emblems on the shoulder, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAOcC5udgZxv
approached Gob, slowly. "Put down your knife and you have my word you, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAb95mZUhnwi
or your companions, won't come to any harm" Gob, just pushed the knife 787Please respect copyright.PENANAcuvSxz8lBc
deeper into Ioseph's throat, drawing blood, as his answer787Please respect copyright.PENANA2rsghLrTCH
The captains facial 787Please respect copyright.PENANArxqMXQ9sUQ
expression didn't change and he kept his gun, steadily, aimed at Gob. 787Please respect copyright.PENANAJ95g8MqtoC
"Put it down." David was getting a bit anxious, the rest of the soldiers787Please respect copyright.PENANA2doQWK7qSw
were circling them and neither David nor Angela had any weapons.787Please respect copyright.PENANARNlo5cH1fN
"Enough of this!" 787Please respect copyright.PENANAV3sLp3Mvfw
Another figure disembarked from the ship. Before David could take any of787Please respect copyright.PENANAwsfVYtDZuW
the newcomers features, a ball of hot appeared in the air and flew 787Please respect copyright.PENANASvXlDfX6rO
towards them.787Please respect copyright.PENANAFjpjsmkZvO
David felt himself flung787Please respect copyright.PENANA2Le6oUyziI
into the air. Landing face first on the scorched ground. Ears ringing, 787Please respect copyright.PENANAyFTW1bATPH
eyes confused, ash and smoke around him. He saw Angela's body flung to 787Please respect copyright.PENANALYBY6ZMlZh
the other side, unmoving. David wasn't sure if she was still alive or 787Please respect copyright.PENANAslvnlZ3Bi8
not. The last thing David saw was Gob getting up and the soldiers 787Please respect copyright.PENANABQgUPhFHCY
subduing him, knocking him out with their rifles, as darkness finally 787Please respect copyright.PENANAVzmu0UpOUA
overwhelmed him.
