"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C8Q1WkAGf
~And here we go again, simple minded people asking simple minded questions~577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZelvMazJvA
"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXNnbMogBt
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XLEtTyGyM
Gob shook his head, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFadyXmKnCo
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCLJtvk6PT
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz90213ytCt
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oHSSfhkCs
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLveOPKgJzu
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ837N59yn16
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR41pDEVrM
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0HP7tc5TE
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItPKyVxBQU
would move.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcjJuK5MBo
Now David has only been 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyo8FryKqM
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39sLATD2sf
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJDIMVexYQ
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh42ZDD8fg1
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZIrk5u9tX
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnETd7ccIId
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H1rANAxZv
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2HhqibxOn
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4OXTcOve3
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBEOHhDe4U
divided loyalties.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUsN8plsZo
Another important thing 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkBHJJapvk
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnstjcRHtEg
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9nEOCcotV
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSgMcFApKv
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesU9M0ZJrN
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OSQ7EtwaT
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2KWQnooTW
their destination.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GyDIWth7z
Today they were out 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLXadPHBHZ
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTa3jdiq0L
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp4VngAsuZ
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ybdEjgAM
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dNKxvx9C
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u7wESfyg0
"Yes, now shut up and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNnEjgH4Q
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbF7PUsxiA
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSVFfy33qU
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9GKJLtuuC
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl70ZVSO3R5
They were at their 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8nASUwXzh
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwBux7rAem
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pIMXvvK5X
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mguf1qcbA
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Ro6aqe8D
"Alright, that's enough.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDVmSksuBD
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWUtmQQk6f
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd5Q27FpEC
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ561RURXcxs
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKnVJH9vr5
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAYEZjyYWp
David walked in silence 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0rJLdR2MC
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszfXTDXBqn
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EsDbKzy12
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87f6eNHXXA
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJhIJldI78
A walk that would've 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCp5AaWM8w
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKSQ2jpQug
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG07010d0G
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMuevQnMrx
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6jSoTXLx
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv9TXbjEHX
"I'll go report to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugvp5pQwi1
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yl1X7o2Px
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1CFR7jRoy
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJu6rj5KQ1
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jisBrEXHH
winning Gob over.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHs9BGFAh2
Francesca on the other 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTDKjhiJyc
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpfbEMdZXI
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsi99RQdez
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWQXK0BIdG
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx77lU3fAS
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs2pWy6Xg9
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftjC8y15BD
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOzy5gl5Sy
David just wished he 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jENZta6kF
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4oyiyYDPy
well no one said being a parasite was easy.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUov0nyIA8
Further down the camps 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SCUblTHzY
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxPv3Twu5X
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgke7Y8mNXh
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzYF42TRT
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVY7s7jIf
him. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ARAIfMH5B
"What'cha doing?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZabAGVct7
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS70vt1VxTZ
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT5dTc585v
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwxNJzkcTc
David nodded. The boy 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNB0bf2sc5
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8IXuZFNm5
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVaNbdQrF
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mqu5kvJB4
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuLCzbSbvG
read them someday."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRzmQxzzw
Twitch muttered 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLslP7ZGrkb
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXeeQjFuuR
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQGC0nNHlz
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVZPy924Le
Twitch started shaking 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zLGmkwpnN
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPa5BcZvVt
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0XwRDWwgH
jump back even more than David did577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCwMox1b0P
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIuiYnCs8
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g3k6FIoae
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLkzdOznX2
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH9oop3D8G
any instinct he had.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNeGiPEqRu
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByIEVngf3v
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgvyuLW9Zh
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGLdCKt7o7
now.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts5sgNg3y0
"Nonsense." Francesca 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM77AqDBVh6
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIlHCB6dYN
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CoVjEuS8F
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFDRMIIZ1I
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScFgTEWUJS
dark red.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsMx7159rc
Francesca spared Twitch 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQthJSQNz2
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozUp7cN5Li
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBHPuKZhFN
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTWaonr6H0
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN37a8bqljd
was popularly called.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPLM3QzgrE
The rebels not only 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8niXQvOYa
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwNY9ATge3
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9bFf6DgPN
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIGWnJ6I12
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmvSO2JwOD
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SqQmd8PUc
to them. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6hzeKqlSe
David attended one of 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQHBJlGvH
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1tsVGb8JA
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYr2dU5QtA
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfJbFN4IY5
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDiEzzrhK0
learn anything new.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpbkngFGJj
Before leading her group577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbhWzzk6qs
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsk9TlXpYa
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGXPe0wPw0
"Of course, I'll see you577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTdJdp37US
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1jcAMYQB8
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjP6E1fOA5
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PVx2bsxnQ
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcprSlXun0J
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqXvnbi4q7
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarDy0J1lru
remember his parents or family.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKXsrU87K2
Francesca, unaware of 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9H7GdjMVQ
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiZVGlH7Lu
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VdSuh7fS1
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgjQz6tn1z
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5KKluxzXn
Nook was an interesting 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeSoKS7dVW
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpqYX90Q6c
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgimD3NF1SR
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE55gK42qf2
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCplAgsJRXm
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVlwraEGrD
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOvfl29pvt
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW85Su3piCQ
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZBLad1LSu
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bf1islv6C
Nook grinned a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyGXYSsSZG
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhtrUSkcUx
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUhR43NK2n
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnIFXvtgMM
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEfQLV4IuU
backs.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCbPyeOc2P
Thus any card games were577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mEYEcFa8g
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyUb5YCeBe
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXD2dOcmGG
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vTYbOqHvY
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCkWs586BG
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQT7IOMurO
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksjYMFQTC6
did have.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZT8KGCTKj
Some did think it was a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2p4UbvJre
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp42cF8NS4
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJSmfgJWtU
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYTNx0RBeO
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdVdi4zlDk
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF08zKjtiYn
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIbwW47ffW
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghYLQHz6UN
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pnFVe3eEq
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGT6wUOF9z
food has been.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDAT7r324E
They were the four main 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PXGw6RQnI
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ua95PO8nS
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfYBDjqgBl
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLuWHpd8EI
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55dNELxUuA
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPCZJ7f3se
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQGV6t2cEo
and accepted them.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkTjkqJRr1
"''Ello boys." David 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBegO1TIK4
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGOP6myWKP
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKApDbhNHR2
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3iwWRWhzm
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSSd5QIdvb
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIyurTvemU
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoST42hPFw
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S3gQNUyBn
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3fqAw3dpE
least for his own benefit. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nYVsI7F9W
Nook was the first to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9838DeQ1v
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRWem9PoOY
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDql9aiSGeL
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWjNnujizH
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYTNd7OI3g
Tiruk, in answer, just 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx47ZaCtwW
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhhbtf4Ty7
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC65gcjp3XW
Next card revealed. A 3 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vQ17zEQ0W
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDSKaSeU8p
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZISOEAxYF
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pHfD6Nghp
very happy, old, man.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0WvpliKqF
Since David didn't have 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX09h0BvWHy
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpY0vQczvk
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPAbLmFAbc
would be safe to take a walk.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMM0OY4owJ
Another thing he took to577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBlnyZKnyD
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X82RpxxW8
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtLROPFxrZ
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WtB09flqO
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe93Nu1K78
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap6IhC0GNZ
He also found various 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2waIoGp0m
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB7EGfgwkL
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzfpmhS8OZ
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBeUPoQ0qA
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHG3I0rPVN
being more careful.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pMYCgGyWo
The caves themselves 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzAyIXTVyW
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZs8YM15fl
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4yzoqJz2X
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9imBHy8VEn
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7DSIpGpgu
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyN63HXOFm
himself that limited their exploring time.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57sNrS8KD6
That let David offer his577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2dmOs5wzo
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU5uXbys2P
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVNoHz9QLb
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLbeAeb2tu
free more people for patrols and other duties.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpkWus9S42
This time though he had a577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4h4JgQVP
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zG7VY2n33
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxTRaz4jGD
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB6UnZEr7p
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZChsiQZ4
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV3PBo7Fup
That's where he was 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAHKJZdITO
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rSY5ENbap
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CviXMNyXQ
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimMCSGqdvE
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmpifv3kHq
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0duYD7wmaX
better in his mind.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3CmmgOxxG
Thus grabbing a torch as577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI98IC5lUt
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW63Z40dsu
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LdYVXCzSf
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFB5Bb43XT
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuLcOqSwWz
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNXgHwA6y0
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3h2UV9b3r
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqhMkIDs7B
his mind wander and just blanked out. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwURQHsO4Hm
Before he even noticed, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYE3PMzDJk
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RKYTVcHRv
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJmXWs9wmJ
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJPDe62Uvd
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxbGqsYEcG
the smell of unwashed masses.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpPB8Fm7ot
It did seem that David 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizviWHbCCY
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kecSa8wge
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOWAVwCacC
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E8Wfjvg8W
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1LKfxMbCU
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG643OCpw7F
seemed to satisfy Stevie.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF3MuiRYtL
"Don't keep Francesca 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHD6vcP8hT
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqItLLB677
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvezZDfOQN
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP8qQuMWjB
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENiRy4ti9y
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QyxKVWac6
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklBlR1VCWZ
walked away. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsotqmqbpQ7
David smiled and waved 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PhpEGpRB
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsVQOnNe6d
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO7o91whgL
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mbpkxDGwo
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXgLG5l7XE
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8db81OzkVu
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeTAw73bXD
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA6xayovNk
the paragon of virtue.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMQ6mYqClB
Her room, as per usual, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyUUUCApz4
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8pjDaAsbK
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMwt1zPQH4
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFAU6HvqBv
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY1V0J80Ep
to light up all caverns and pathways. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczCVt2MA7z
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdhcRcSsC
David sat down with a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzE2v4eqNn
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KwfoE12NE
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEz1xjdVWK
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMrTqRYdG4
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI5KZI03xB
in a stream. Delicious.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfNhqwThUD
"So pleasantries first or business first?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gbfYRYPp2
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkInBMai3hU
Francesca nodded and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy9soRL16k
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDMhg6QZ0k
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHUTbxkIOF
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86oxru2AOg
fast eating was paramount.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoC3rM0B95
As expected David 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjlLbLygil
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc9r6wD2xv
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgn2jinLbH
deliberate eater.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEITYwYvZH1
"So on to business." She577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQFeHq3qM4
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKf4vKAnt3
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIBaZgEEQo
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh9XDWgHW7
"In a way. It's someone 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPULB9dXDyd
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMAIsoZ0vU
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDYQiOWfu
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOEgfJcu0R
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7cdIMlOpS
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0dqcwHCea
"Well, there is a 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6KLIsO5xW
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQmfxpnI92
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz28F7Q62T
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEpjIoEhVK
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8x4OsVHP1
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5dM6hCasP
in a few days the edge of a different isle.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKDlpovF3B
"We will also be moving 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELX7psWQ1f
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGDfxHRDLz
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcfqkpd91k
so some will know where to go."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2p8Tj2Qo3
"That's good, why did 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bRggZCbSD
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh6CZTONHK
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wkHsQf32
was interested in the answer.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZBuw4ho7G
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISU8E8fuC
David nodded, not a full577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIE1VeDNu1
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9kz9sL4z3
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa9CMUVg2W
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVr8QltFMD
"Thank you." She said 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhV2clY6zi
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzaKiu2qoO
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeBGM1afTv
regroup at a specified point."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK82zxRAU9Z
"How will you get 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1lUHNGTX9
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUZF6fDLYK
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8cHvsqSke
city.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HR5Ijg5Kz
"We have small sky 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEVX6Tjqm4
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeaHU2ER7Q
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVrMCtqzSr
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR0st5nfT9
group."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0m1aXw2Et
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkWMYpuNxd
She gave him a sad smile577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8zB0gOlz
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5It35EfbXS
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHeDHrxrO7
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbdrWkzLmz
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRgxftxgQP
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmUfB1ezyU
their past in the past.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9a2M8kCk4
"Now then, back to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDdsbAwU8E
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzfC3ZaKKv
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbI38n8osX
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaSPpIUiw7
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShHvXTq0Rg
"You'll have it. I'm 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3di9X0viu
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ipvtj2Tm
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYDYPdEuC9
on a rock hard surface.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEZUgrtV7u
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIPKUVmkEj
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSzytAytqi
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadSZDaEHr6
"Sadly no, I'm as 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh3ux4PXGc
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxZdcozTAP
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQnJxIDjV6
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlqnb2fcNq
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67I1u09Y7d
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8EGVNLh4j
"Do not worry, I am 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnvUjgHgs6
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolbd81LsHw
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErCr2bfYI
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai5kHQPfET
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY2ayUiF7T
"We're under attack, they found us."
