"I don't get it, why don't we go to a different isle? The Imperialsh will have ush shurrounded in no time."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03wHhxJiHG
~And here we go again, simple minded people asking simple minded questions~538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtOdNF3FiX
"Too many people to move, they'll notice us."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvIMprvOTV
"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l0E8UoyjP
Gob shook his head, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn5CKvCxVW
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxJuSof1TQ
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuwziTXZLU
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4djNGAvAzl
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmiq5IGQoI
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIaVEn5LiW
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KhIsnUyTh
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPSrAnxWfr
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQFLE7400a
would move.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7CnSKASFA
Now David has only been 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVve2yFp49
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRYbTbjh8C
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqBn2Hqbig
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8xfIUEbnX
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwHecRnZd4
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRgvLSVbmI
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyHw5pbljC
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUpUUrM41e
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8rg8wHily
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB331s9POnP
divided loyalties.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVeuDlKdgq
Another important thing 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqE1U2Y7FH
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo9D558wGv
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOScJPSZxi
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56ToP05dvc
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORVDvvnXZe
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4f8z0ALIK
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvpFPJIGjU
their destination.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcsAnyhjEk
Today they were out 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EtRpEyJrz
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFfi2M11nb
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dLnxntOqI
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8xgDeRvKi
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ZRnLPS4a
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qvgxlifDL
"Yes, now shut up and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk260HTMTG
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVitKN2WvW
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2kWkHWtuv
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcsCUQJJev
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj4pAev1zM
They were at their 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggVBjIRQw9
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0fxpwozh2
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjymquvvuO
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsgAXzyBnu
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pyINDgRtp
"Alright, that's enough.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGPWdPXJOq
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ObmoBT4tu
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJcIjSW4B
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Vey5fWpj
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf1tzF4qux
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEALHIZZv4
David walked in silence 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjnUJk56QC
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODSMIHYMvJ
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezeH07UiP6
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa3XwYPaGL
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCZsFxbkbE
A walk that would've 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaShVlVbwmQ
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkKBocMKt5
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyp006Waty
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAMN6ZZUkT
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjGEyUWBAC
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHZ9XNIBA
"I'll go report to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtijAfx7gU
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6UEkhq5OL
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIe5ewhUSM
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBCViSR7SJ
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2IANkZxVT
winning Gob over.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMBXn2g3w
Francesca on the other 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGdMqyTFlx
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXHEBNYHoj
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUcTukPy7u
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHwvSgF3mN
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0AVwtoUXk
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkWbKY4UvP
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWe6lGM27K
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g1uUPMKpO
David just wished he 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJJKGJO5DK
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJPwVQcrzn
well no one said being a parasite was easy.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAz3v3l90N
Further down the camps 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QZJ5uuiHI
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NYZLnc90R
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QL1lJHHbi
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmJUZqbljv
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP8UeFb2XQ
him. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LjIdEEX5q
"What'cha doing?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S9ZqepCS4
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6OtuaMjRn
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry4RIqn11j
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQhnCcKKc0
David nodded. The boy 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfiFHrq2ok
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiXZTGhM9j
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hvdW7tVNx
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXlAVUHxYt
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuvnhEkssu
read them someday."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrKguFOyxD
Twitch muttered 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLx9R7oqbL
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXTRXobiVm
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdKnpFmtGz
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9n7gCAqhr
Twitch started shaking 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghhSm7EkpY
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeaOACtxfm
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa63UgeKvIi
jump back even more than David did538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwooNLm1tQ
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SLUbtEw7m
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1d7stG8Sq
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGrDMX5dhe
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DYWJFYFHm
any instinct he had.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJRohekmnQ
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3P5YGFeur
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuL25ierEP
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOm3d9p7vP
now.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSy3EvFsm2
"Nonsense." Francesca 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDep57DAH
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyImwLkXBE7
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseHaoTv5i0
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmHfKjudxD
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd4iirYfsJ
dark red.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ0oVQCZbR
Francesca spared Twitch 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mqruAUOPa
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniyhvnXw8X
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOMWnu2Xpr
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlUqOQiQQy
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfhklEv6Zj
was popularly called.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyALoWWIM6
The rebels not only 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn45ZrMddm
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOxlfYocD1
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SCI41kVbG
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofWQdgeM0g
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Z1CYSKAT
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWQMQDVG9b
to them. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnCpNmPaNA
David attended one of 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUuMWUoEqD
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrVUpsrZFC
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoSGnNXkcp
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNEcwYF3DU
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGKl00Kqb4
learn anything new.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqHucA5JFH
Before leading her group538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95e8sXUpDG
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97jcpeUGUc
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHRiDgC8l3
"Of course, I'll see you538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD7z6svVjC
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdPfBruyH0
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk2WOhSsv1
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjVNq75XGM
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7OVdIuR0A
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb6DsjS9eI
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczxGmOJsYb
remember his parents or family.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA253Ojnnq
Francesca, unaware of 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFPJXoM6TX
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjejzcRpApw
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsKVM7iD2K
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjveQDPA6G
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUtkKxwILq
Nook was an interesting 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCkgGkpSyC
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvixvvoxnt
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbpN5K1qVK
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOrq737TEN
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJdLcsb4S7
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTGhH552hL
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b4R4q3XJS
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtggrPFJy3Z
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP7ja5R0rG
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2U83wnJG7
Nook grinned a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaix2cfllO
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMUHZQGxIs
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz1gu4XrS4
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGDv0nQWtw
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoVyIPIzYw
backs.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fyl5KiwTX
Thus any card games were538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzTB7NbLE5
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx9qo6uNAN
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yGf3Z6Y9A
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mtESW92ek
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWTjsK8AoK
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kzdces2ZR
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgTNdgv6Rq
did have.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2OSDN7xmG
Some did think it was a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV4EeoQRqd
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rek7t0uhU
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0Ce9FHVr
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYkj0wJLNs
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQqenGCBkC
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAlNPfdVcu
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmw2WjC0ws
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbOtKoxDg7
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA3zK4FwQM
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IMSuqRgG2
food has been.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo3Gfjm48v
They were the four main 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo9QIi0wP5
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA76fzqO4G
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9UNh04Z2X
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TSdDueE6I
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZDoPMoz78
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lk06neLTs
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecZtYCyVIH
and accepted them.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NcFXhCBER
"''Ello boys." David 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrWuTtHQKT
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgxvKqnLnS
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Nsrkg899
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb0nzdEtBg
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrxNyQ44Uv
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2veba9qXsQ
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfTfIUrzRG
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9PAOHdqOU
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoFvMYgS6F
least for his own benefit. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTgNcBBgPc
Nook was the first to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F7eIjyULf
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoAPwDnThR
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWbWCevvzy
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtaO3HXXTS
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4oQfkFla8
Tiruk, in answer, just 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZey9Z9H4CQ
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso1sySzB2Q
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NirQSlMfQ
Next card revealed. A 3 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhktxQRXCC
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkQsuAvJIj
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZhtjBTL2L
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvHV8KHFpZ
very happy, old, man.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIedbmnqnH
Since David didn't have 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlC9hMCRVR
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPSbCAsLfZ
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW7puPu1et
would be safe to take a walk.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU49Bbq2rd8
Another thing he took to538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxQSobikWR
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlW1t5k0vg
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKlAwp2XZS
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eVIxArXne
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHffKM7VRsN
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V4X6UMvYv
He also found various 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBhluJ68hB
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQQqHbpKXx
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXFn8xrEzo
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCNbcHiShK
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTOOUR4Qq4
being more careful.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvD5p8JRSt
The caves themselves 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjoEoTGtkj
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQLKI5ATLX
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zIPhML5lL
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3TUaXNV0
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8qqPBkwRw
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOs1wPVpmb
himself that limited their exploring time.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLKlf0TN0m
That let David offer his538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCpTggEw9i
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSPSRcUPMl
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVy3hwE0ZZ
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSI0URITYu
free more people for patrols and other duties.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZtvySsa5v
This time though he had a538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6p6KWCcrO
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlM0J7i9BR
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmgWPJANdt
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMc40p7J31
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumuLmbzTic
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvwIvGPhd4
That's where he was 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfP3vYd8uC
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDs3C8YjY0
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYu5lsNHXR
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtPCvrsKLs
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3fEhctHpK
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBQmTT7eke
better in his mind.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q2EjBPz0g
Thus grabbing a torch as538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQRDGZlcFV
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA6sDfbH8s
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgNTC0vPVq
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HyYU3sP3c
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHoTZcDyww
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwYJ90rYTH
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmDMgz8OTr
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSvN2uiUJS
his mind wander and just blanked out. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWMJTLS6XA
Before he even noticed, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vqJNgTVqJ
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoBV0xzuFH
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJXtMUzoI
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KyplQMzNc
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgiRxv7aL4
the smell of unwashed masses.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBPEon9uPn
It did seem that David 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq3eXpBbcG
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUvTQ1IWRB
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA76r26Pn1
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxEcMnlzm
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESWFsKBFCZ
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpEwMm3UxS
seemed to satisfy Stevie.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8lA14DcUl
"Don't keep Francesca 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BjcYGyECl
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67iwtHpZqf
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZr7OVjsaX
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZYwdSBcTI
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsqZVMSZGT
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jTq9XGUQM
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZragxXSl9
walked away. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMxvgzvLV2
David smiled and waved 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQcH6bfdar
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBdC7S3Cez
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVknjqGr5sk
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OchjHXTKH
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzylwPrKSvO
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj0R79xSdu
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1vZKyNcZy
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGrbqFKTvw
the paragon of virtue.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8SwwxuutS
Her room, as per usual, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssGGfKMbtO
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsuQB4eU80
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTT3bGiIEq
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTPA9qvQnC
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ4EEzwesi
to light up all caverns and pathways. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtR6UPAsHy
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV08bg4PZD0
David sat down with a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVkveSc9UZ
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KXDAM2F0X
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEijjOGCAEA
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCnupaWajq
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mbwc44NvQ
in a stream. Delicious.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mFF33DiSd
"So pleasantries first or business first?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkXQBKtiHp
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16pUS5B8sn
Francesca nodded and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRbd1aS7ib
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFc6uXkyFz
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiax2cAqPxs
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVmg8OnnY7
fast eating was paramount.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87fPmRlQKg
As expected David 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs613LoSIo
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21HUfE0g7R
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm8A72lMO0
deliberate eater.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2njoqMvft
"So on to business." She538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubIB6Dmn6i
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpIEqXPdb5
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWgw6F9QL2
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2f4GxnrgK
"In a way. It's someone 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtj7Skdd5p
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Y8QwHvxf
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELSEeaDPP
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolJqwmOS3n
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr90zn7TWaC
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAeErOM59
"Well, there is a 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTfVW5hOW
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ02BLMFSJu
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKjLmdhVVR
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb7mcjqnU5
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tBdZyvLuE
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogqrseWX6y
in a few days the edge of a different isle.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv18OvhIcb9
"We will also be moving 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDImXSy9Z1
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKtK9gGRos
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gpbPaxrs8
so some will know where to go."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9o22IYt61
"That's good, why did 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ZZXGMM64
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKO4awn7r1
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJBG9H0FEn
was interested in the answer.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJdyjH8tCg
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZxT4Kqzuj
David nodded, not a full538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1tT6NW87D
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda0D7asXML
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQl7MBXZju
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcPkaK7P7s
"Thank you." She said 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XJkd1cWQ4
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4DsKYpwG
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS5rSDFmvi
regroup at a specified point."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgjHQ5QbbW
"How will you get 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDBVXia2VR
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7iyETReM6
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ZTeBgkno
city.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj0e0YEl2h
"We have small sky 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOdSz0Wgm3
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrMlHF2LpP
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQmTPyL7il
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gF8twhQVm
group."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSWpRaWkvv
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiinCfAzyR9
She gave him a sad smile538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv5Wd33pWw
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ufeSYYvzp
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL40FDIlD1
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2syay6FxA
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE8ZARiKLc
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY1qABMyp8
their past in the past.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BuSJCkTva
"Now then, back to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqOKlqMVOK
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcPjq9hjpC
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvTp6yOMd7
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjthFpbfml
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xcJf4XfwO
"You'll have it. I'm 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFublryXZUc
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ABje25sr
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp3O1vGTI3
on a rock hard surface.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL6xeVmppI
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhMQYc5dCa
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF4BSBkXdp
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxplWfAsyuh
"Sadly no, I'm as 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxrSkqmGAu
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRcNFnfykt
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDU8x7IMIm
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCIuxPjhfO
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGlrQjPmA
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigDHvSKxtD
"Do not worry, I am 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF5bpRYd6v
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlzQvHWOy6
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4DnB0H6XX
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77QuNcPDvM
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjUM7ZYX5z
"We're under attack, they found us."
