"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt94KotUcM
Gob shook his head, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pUEjCsfHK
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRxfsKJwNv
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WIA1FeiGe
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7DGiRbsa9
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxri76j5Sp
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonBex1vbrw
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD2NhwNdtm
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw36ApK4b5
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZiHvfFyH9
would move.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQfsIbBdRW
Now David has only been 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS497hykH8
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sk4vtoQc9
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWbiUYhW7T
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dDk3ymRLL
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkscOnL4co
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPiBIPC4xk
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Jb8nTcnD
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHuDAWHlgL
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3cAuzkVNI
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcsO7eOjFG
divided loyalties.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSWvY0d0GG
Another important thing 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZvRFDtJ3z
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh9EycPrOb
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQCZfteNry
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfE2Cq9EoU
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn5AH5DzSg
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2wbeNnJzK
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59KICqnt8Z
their destination.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5wRXpJx8l
Today they were out 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0j0sguy9i
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7MIzFfLec
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1QhuxUacu
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8N1auT9hK
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5qlLjBymL
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqIFt2LihJ
"Yes, now shut up and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14UGq5fatr
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkotKosFTY
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWKezVOADB
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9diPJ2tr6x
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuEwT4755a
They were at their 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9hP9Gwnxy
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ23dCbSPaX
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIGljO4F5x
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPIN7pZhbw
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQACk884Yd
"Alright, that's enough.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpqgyVvUo4
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwIsiJDBQM
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU427iy2GS
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHk7WMEqXG
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiGr97HZM4
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR19hHAJpe
David walked in silence 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUe6y4ak50
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1DOfzDDFy
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLAHz2otqu
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3FV10PeHl
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqD0m75wyH
A walk that would've 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmPX6elhbH
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjlSBWq16H
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ruOpVdYk
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ075vTK39eH
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdBJnDlgiY
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4KWvEN4PP
"I'll go report to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzERubUjXYF
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePQ0KliGrM
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2b5TBvruZ
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZM6PzkyI5
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIBG1cEDiv
winning Gob over.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzox6WcVgQ
Francesca on the other 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRbG8LzM68
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZBVvm8Spp
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUPYykYxYN
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze8NDEFkJR
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSsY9Re9mH
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB2dPtubLe
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgCPLLYle5
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi1aYEpTlI
David just wished he 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEQ9dseuCE
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K4nsvcIEH
well no one said being a parasite was easy.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4xv6dHAha
Further down the camps 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhnj9pqCAJ
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib2fNKqh0x
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzDnze1ZQL
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzNHq0biRj
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YNrHHG6oR
him. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRp9rshWEM
"What'cha doing?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcxk2b7JDB
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqZB2W7Evb
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9uKaCj3Ti
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlOHoXf9KE
David nodded. The boy 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P5pEYIEgF
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FbNKNKpLY
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlblpknQYPs
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMiPqHBqL2
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwmta2ESMi
read them someday."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUvEwUFSwD
Twitch muttered 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdhVZDThSW
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFFeqqc104
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2PqEKBADx
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBTYvlL3SZ
Twitch started shaking 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCq3yvI7fY
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx5H6FQAS2
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aghkPxs0D
jump back even more than David did688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Z9Jz1sjL
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADp2eujQJ6
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMgb84DXLl
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHA5jShtm5
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cK95cBGfM
any instinct he had.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnXhuqP5fj
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAruMMYLYJ9
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSZ6eJGShB
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXTQmXNmWX
now.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5kj15QNaE
"Nonsense." Francesca 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxPmHiDrPE
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFP79FCicT
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQte0ZGTTfD
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVh4jOzpFL
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2akqqQU5X
dark red.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bSga0wZj
Francesca spared Twitch 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoD33KaiOd
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwPRvahNzU
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1D8UE8vrf
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX24362rui
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAhwnX1TAs
was popularly called.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCNgQbtiY
The rebels not only 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQErXHkVZo
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6I8phaA4
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oCK1VpPA7
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6TiTuCKeF
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWuOh7tt4z
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXuxgxLQaH
to them. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDM3fdeIGx
David attended one of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dzWvFK9n2
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5disYeQrU
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKFSwCr4CN
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygRx0iMTzk
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqUwQsTd89
learn anything new.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeFog42a5s
Before leading her group688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIta3Zp8rFp
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFXqVLOiKE
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrxbMuWEcE
"Of course, I'll see you688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL4q6QSGjg
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrMKYtd5xl
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeh5Ys1OQ9
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaDZrwTOhM
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHUyWgvjhN
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XgeMbceee
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU4Ebgbxvr
remember his parents or family.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7yyFfpyDF
Francesca, unaware of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZxgIfsFIV
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDbkS5W892
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzJbTf9DuQ
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QQyqME6cR
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7xuedeecA
Nook was an interesting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSyO6RrsC2
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09tFsIFFMk
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw8rpZenea
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltENGPUqma
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3zT8mP1kH
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P0P85vHQa
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytjcCvGUs5
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZE8LYQPna
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyimys3VFN
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHBXbNksX6
Nook grinned a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFNKboNLVH
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiTUErjN1h
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgFgHtdi98
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcBfLlmcWA
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPHb2ldgSN
backs.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfO1OkUHjB
Thus any card games were688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqUqTruWac
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPutxIeSnxj
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5YtzmW2a
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEmWdDmJZ2
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zOrbjZrrh
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydAQjUCuYk
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApOtHsSfty
did have.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIEBT2lNIr
Some did think it was a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ31A1MgMy5
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKReojn7WuL
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIzFB10Ds7
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPctoRNZMRj
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOzXJJJVgd
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvkY4vB9s1
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjERL9Ok9tt
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN3AbRr7jf
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPuoQ3efrO
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebhSmRe554
food has been.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHqcTC6LIG
They were the four main 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E3L3jRw5e
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWlkbniecD
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6FtRl6w9a
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1jBkq2AP6
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy0s3Gf5UA
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7pAsSZ7aY
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyUIfrMhJo
and accepted them.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlK41vJO49
"''Ello boys." David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mYJLq3udF
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4tA1pGK8J
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG54Gl1jer
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNdrQQJPMm
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrf0psC8vp
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwtBrGsT1A
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEnVCq1nuu
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW1WKosM78
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYcNujZ0D5
least for his own benefit. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs43ktCLD5x
Nook was the first to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKo16wmuPb
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxckHqSIAu3
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWWcY5odsy
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxzzb0dI5Y
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD4jzUAyMA
Tiruk, in answer, just 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwHf16cSI2
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbeMVzviEq
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlXsFIPH9p
Next card revealed. A 3 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMNrwDqOZK
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDamjWkF7G
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSy5R4DG6c
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCBV4SU7Ny
very happy, old, man.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XRqf6xseD
Since David didn't have 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVYrWKAHbv
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXQiHKFyo
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA58oiXD60
would be safe to take a walk.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT9t8bUGEK
Another thing he took to688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8UiqtswHx
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8RI8cPwF
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIPuswMvuy
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxOXlnalgz
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XfuF4IwvB
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq9tHUdrRi
He also found various 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlkl8uRGjl
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaUK64O2AE
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFnKHWWzIY
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzN0rKB6wo
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCqsCfwzl8
being more careful.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4V0xkYem4
The caves themselves 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBcjs8ANeU
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRZvTjnYjl
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oClUOWDYa
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4IlNTNNl
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDTZvE4LRZ
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjgZRTsWR1
himself that limited their exploring time.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCCK5u3vMQ
That let David offer his688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxZJGR4aTk
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG9kanGj8J
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxiIK9M0tF
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7LxLWEb3L
free more people for patrols and other duties.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aze0q3aDX
This time though he had a688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubLf6eCugx
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiF7yCfkjC
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3IRwndLQY
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghG5dfXbU9
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdAZpAq7gp
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstnVAGuGLy
That's where he was 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyH6PTfYZD
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrNIrEK5os
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5fbIl70u6
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdDltPjEbJ
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdipwpw84oV
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRzdE5TcVd
better in his mind.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR762jdFpe
Thus grabbing a torch as688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCEXzfnb1s
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFgtJCaCrO
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUWdgp14fv
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa2iMdKVOs
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlGBFmontz
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2psJYEmKLW
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqotXn2AiI
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEimGu9DRM
his mind wander and just blanked out. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk148riCoQJ
Before he even noticed, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK9R5nZsAa
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjpwqb4Etd
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTyFA0c5vK
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xuFGzw9wf
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13zfwdEmfT
the smell of unwashed masses.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YsKxFpV2Q
It did seem that David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGnfB7XJD7
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEdVQD2vFO
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyJnTgXfxP
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKSw2XGvga
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgun1uLDELn
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT8nTbU0gl
seemed to satisfy Stevie.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4xkX7mpaP
"Don't keep Francesca 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HVy6yqOoV
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BjWJn6RDn
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSzRAoA1PM
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1oXov8ANk
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijEfB3hloA
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA0yZFZH38
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4rKeYINsO
walked away. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDjnFREoYg
David smiled and waved 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfn2NGqRpz
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN7UFjEfOX
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7I2tfJHj5
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj4l7JqWlI
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu9XdKLAtq
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzns30dahCG
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolVS4bfEJa
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c0ASDjYPs
the paragon of virtue.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mzerHGtz1
Her room, as per usual, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjBOs6JWch
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwmh4PWZxw
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AvN5kladu
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5QWkYqlgD
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6gQ0wSxjX
to light up all caverns and pathways. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC6jxvKQ3b
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwJ9fel5Dz
David sat down with a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWUj4WDMCE
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrqWHfTOcO
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXxfVN9MUu
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cELZ9GEzE
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXxtPIHsW4
in a stream. Delicious.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXqZW7ZSpm
"So pleasantries first or business first?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhRmpSmxGF
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFECinPxLX
Francesca nodded and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiOimKJIuJ
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Vk5duReJ
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcZPqXeSI8
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhKQQd6mQt
fast eating was paramount.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtS8YmDPel
As expected David 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSjXiYBKTx
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOvkOXx5S3
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORvztT7iC5
deliberate eater.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmW1QJx3yl
"So on to business." She688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU1VwxqmNu
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL5gr3ocEv
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VTuIXCTHA
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRUkQyDzpb
"In a way. It's someone 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvWGgFPfeN
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyw8L1p74U
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGow3Wl3ad
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs9ZyDdjPZ
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnyny1xDER
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAiUCGfkCn
"Well, there is a 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3QXOQnUcE
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg8pmAmdsp
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9J68UTK0v
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepwGhtLbmP
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzypovzvUi
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hwlslnTVI
in a few days the edge of a different isle.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeTKOhGn33
"We will also be moving 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnSopEAXOV
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn8Vr7ygHb
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcORTp2B87
so some will know where to go."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwFTfsBJ2N
"That's good, why did 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cvYTOROUd
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIDjdiaLw3
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiUfpDXeHY
was interested in the answer.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1afH14DGo
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdLNwKr7Jl
David nodded, not a full688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4nWUvHtvu
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Awkns4uyP
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWty4ISbTm
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS7925L8z1
"Thank you." She said 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtl63b5RwF
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgONLzToYIn
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdWO6cGoqw
regroup at a specified point."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6MM7irlNR
"How will you get 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMIWtwXXKE
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjICOC0mly
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7oAMMadwf
city.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfRPGOub1
"We have small sky 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXcKGtt0lI
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz2UZJ5KCm
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bo8YHWRmZ
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZNnBjXrEH
group."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFUcH1r26n
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JU7oRhZva
She gave him a sad smile688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmzgTfKz1y
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb0n6adyKC
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg6BuuIKjU
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtNTvvjh03
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVCYEYknfe
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMurhOxNom
their past in the past.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEYHeQxypP
"Now then, back to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I20iaQz3M
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofaZPgEU9y
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvw1Otgmdz
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRjZN0ijUI
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm536U1CmqV
"You'll have it. I'm 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR69SXWv45o
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF87cTJf28c
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTIEYAuI8T
on a rock hard surface.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeQmvGNLKH
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSWGgjOUvy
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe4qtyPEnX
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttwbHZwbo0
"Sadly no, I'm as 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA1WS5h9nY
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1v8n9FjCn
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEgZE4Wd5j
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwXKT4mjxu
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbA9NPaGya
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRtIcwJdRa
"Do not worry, I am 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexBVLK28VZ
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc63Ow1Tlh
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosh0uTBDNL
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRBDFS3VhP
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95x6IwiAHZ
"We're under attack, they found us."
