If David didn't dislike 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOErjQYMDW
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNA47jBwuR
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQNNtJwPTy
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhliunb9r
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIvKaZIDQk
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi0k3xFmzW
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3rrcjbxun
would just bite him to death first.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPt51KAbYF
His shoes were 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfsy3LrZCT
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8rIIEDX3x
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTBfzr6sNy
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9nQpTLNTj
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRD0ZWlovH
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRnzVJyxI0
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPx1hsPgEy
from the various insects.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBhKCidm7w
There was a silver 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBfEQOMUt0
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Jcl2DPPa
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyewS13fNE4
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl6GPYRIyg
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolS1AkIYTL
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZyPwsUIMM
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYasmaLU8cH
Thankfully, Gob left 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXZ2VMNaFe
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGZLWoeusP
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOxdfZDVYL
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh7muUrNbY
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6J0ouuTOf
be. ~743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTDKIPG8YG
While Gob did give a 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4QV916MVJ
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fJ9zxxRC7
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mXScoXY9Q
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQcwEyXQ04
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURQdqPIExH
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA3ow2FbVE
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q48Ptmnch
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2evhXPCs8N
David nodded, even 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOU9ZxTZGg
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0PtrnQF4C
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq4xw8yuPT
voice was getting more excited.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJviRZeA0U
"From the commonwealth 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oDzVoRiDz
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzNUvdsbwj
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqR82I4rP6
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGej3tJdGE
gambling.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WIc7ZKWaC
Denise bumbled his head 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Qhl8pg7b
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZFEF4OxYw
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrrlTNUPza
after..." Denis trailed off 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzC10PB1RM
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5pe42deQ8
Denise brightened up at 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkIAw2Z33B
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YrCsYySBq
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSpjEbWlQy
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnfvxTuubV
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXTFzP9bwr
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhMLHa0aBc
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmxMGbFc0I
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuTnu5LHuB
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlYxQucZq3
Denise's eyes widened as743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPntFEkBb4
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttlABVhvd0
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGoSIzmYvM
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEvTANLU2p
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPxYCR914W
"Alright enough chatter 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMWX8KYHBQ
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I7c4adaLm
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsLm1VnePY
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVIwXuUV3F
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmTKeSsheC
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO83HACLrL
Gathering all their 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdct4ldBUSj
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXUov50qft
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWOILIBHdT
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVe5zdiB1c
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBmxiBPh0W
respectful.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOxie3a1Rs
"Sorry, but no." Gob 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7KSrtCJ7I
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1PJjw0x77
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpZayyGoVj
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm68Ts7LLgF
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmjatVJQFG
the tough journey but no such luck743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ebVdMlEqS
David was impressed by 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChCPbXHTMa
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP14FhLKs9
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uGzT7Aa3S
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytd8kmZuqi
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHvuaFIWo0
Gob nodded. "Good you're743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrxS2eQBMB
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6isuqU86c
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFsxJzBPMF
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgBLPl7We6
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGrXBadHCX
the ships he served on.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzTr5Y2wuG
Everyone began settling 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp01DLvuja
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2oHqBJnXl
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYDOaUp78g
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U19I8u0ff
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvU56vJepH
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zZfAEPxW6
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK1y1Ktp1x
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiqMayIJxd
Everyone else finished 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNaJPn8ppj
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vxHNjrSEy
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2vbt98Pbs
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblGeY5ooVI
the big wide world.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGbQ9bh0vT
After a while, David 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tsULs6BzE
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6zdEd0tk2
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKZ9Sb5GER
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiFonEzCie
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngOvGGnas6
some trouble sleeping."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGGJJukx9x
Angela looked at the 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCkxhFlnn8
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR2usXu5OV
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44uRzsEY2E
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMrrjQoV6j
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfJZybBPpp
"Everyone needs a loving743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtcv7arfae
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhDBvD9wo0
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg7seZs9Nu
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIqbnvvNPe
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebw0xy410M
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVe1EmiqQ
David nodded. "Aye I was."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHgzkdLhKR
"But how'd you survive?"743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0tA4PYyPJ
"I'm just lucky I 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiPjBQoEJS
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4VWEbsLXG
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHw8IVuWTK
yourself."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25B5HlEPkn
Angela blushed scarlet 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WYpvZg1w3
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh4smoy8iI
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wfUGg4jgU
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH71EsEFLR7
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQuovlBayd
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn53v1F43iz
reading."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxNW30WygC
"He sounds like a good 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyThJqeDKA
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxx22YAZ8Y
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO1vnhYbt8
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxliZ6KQ6gv
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XkaMGq7Kc
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80M1ocLmYy
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre6wfvI2sB
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIqdFd2TLp
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79TG095IO6
Angela quickly rubbed 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt817yyvn2t
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8nNvbqCcd
that." She added with an awkward laugh.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVECjuJ47oE
"Don't worry about it, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNei19HRq3d
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNnyt0QexQ
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChqKYCUB0a
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvMhU87rz
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMki0SWbKxy
smile.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU5gmRClv4
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUxlMEQEXW
The next person on watch743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg2sMyTXs6
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjSUS8sP2H
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5id5rRDKd
name, quietly not to wake up others.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6TzyfTVsE
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNJBAtWJFT
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7AfZaYlr6
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?"743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpVB7DcjNY
"Sure, with me showing 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyAnjz1kbQ
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF8WWYi8kd
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCjfAknJOw
scrap."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkRAwa5Zq2
Denis looked down a bit 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggeIttm2EX
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrSezZG7uj
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj2pU66F6Q
what I can or can't do."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrG0IaeWlv
David nodded. He 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0yMM5xJwS
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrpyk52jkP
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m91THEq7g
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqoVcDQm11
Denis nodded, cheering 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHOqsX6mFC
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErBPI7kmJn
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KhFABo6bi
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGKDpBbcib
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYvtXEGQIn
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieL95DovcK
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ5eXyKI6z
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin5qbOW6ey
Either way David wasn't 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2zWKZPNWm
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxcKjbh8Es
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ595uDNWtqI
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBwew1W0M
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGb2eA8Biu
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEulDy21a3l
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYItUrcirU
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgzkWENUgF
After a lull in his 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh9VHMox0Y
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG1iWO8Spt
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupe3msiLA3
"Oh! Well we think 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNE5xrthdb
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6WUJTobSS
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJrbsTUH9p
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wvRJ8lxHn
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXINzIWgPJ1
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UpSse3v80
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWDLfuTBFw
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg9dM2491w
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN6TzNorLW
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGDZzwv48O
happy songs.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcQlqnfvXW
After Denis's watch 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGju2lCMVw1
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j2D8oOQir
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XGmGNMhQl
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp9yOOIHcl
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOmfZeqAfE
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LWp9BGl78
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy73JnUjYpS
With a sight David 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDjnK9HOFT
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHK4HkyyMV
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7U2gYz3P8
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7bRlVIUMI
As Rock continued his 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQumu8OJgx5
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2dAQa12fF
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFLNH3z8FA
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge87X7NyaG
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAuj1vwzUg
To David's dismay the 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDivYRcB4Ct
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLLdBPbJ1Z
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAVGPgzUV8
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK0TIKNsn0
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8usO3awgT
gruesome journey.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gvpkS1K9G
As soon as he closed his743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiFY76FPj1
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdugGJ3Mgeb
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Krn3CqAK
"Oh fall off, you cloud 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6DPXwS17Z
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YegkC4BKB
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH4IPcZiQD
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIr13hgU4U
him. 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NB4A3euYW
During the walk Denis 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ppyv5nSC
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxEh2pLzo1
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELF25LKlTr
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUytMGM6KsL
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQJ8tXmDRd
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEoLhKWfHw
"We're here." Gob 743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgB6U6jCw1
