"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKojofTihi
Gob shook his head, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlucOcs3tM
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtDhFmFeFo
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRQjFPaZG8
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz5ckcPyx9
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbUZ6tsZo4
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7i8MdzgoS
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxqmafmVF5
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq24FcJutk
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfiTqfLRwj
would move.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqYO56io3W
Now David has only been 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBJ0Jm9yI
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F5N5UCaMi
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5a4aex597
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0rR6ab2Tb
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Z01UU059
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZTR1Zydf4
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JsV3Aq7CJ
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJgufkbelo
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKj9iIQTjy
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRmCZB0UMI
divided loyalties.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q2cposASh
Another important thing 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdEHyaLBu3
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPr3MfyQMW
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCzv9WbvVF
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FHzA1GOIV
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYGRwOYnfW
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSODmeQL9N
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtAYXgM3gO
their destination.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9vR3bjak7
Today they were out 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO3502vadl
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMsZ0ZXQf3
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUGkIpQNzo
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2PcdzuhcQ
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzoMBaZRKh
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O6pqXYO69
"Yes, now shut up and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoqMLJLHAo
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhA0kvoaFe
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRtE1KQddM
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0e02KLoCC
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e0uHDygVP
They were at their 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaef1i5GqT
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUvVFzxWN1
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvBJpCGaVO
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH6MmRK8Yd
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09dBh8Up5K
"Alright, that's enough.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwYONU68iZ
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFH9dELYq8
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc1U40zkql
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKROa2W6nD
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewiRrVL3sP
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UOjDEYD0I
David walked in silence 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZcFy7GE9r
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWVmfOo5ku
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mn4HJOQxq
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sC2D55PR0
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGAbPOcMpG
A walk that would've 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvmzfBat7
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrORwkTfpWK
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3J4qa8vsy
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxiiMu0HO1
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xAQ3HtUuF
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySKSu770AR
"I'll go report to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHQal3wRhC
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcJrHVvR0s
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgOjezzQAL
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ClUxq00r
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzO4cRPvve
winning Gob over.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBeRuNHOHn
Francesca on the other 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaSGVYX91c
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR1iMf6tkV
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCr9rPOAqz
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2RNlZ8BMy
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLj7SBqHs1
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPbBzjfEEf
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPov85VFs5
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosmKcQvhLI
David just wished he 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslk3Cac615
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fY0tbv769
well no one said being a parasite was easy.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ7uqdDPwt
Further down the camps 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonCsVCHMEF
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YJcbfz3WT
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3TqAaTvLM
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlnXFYur9D
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDNtcVuaIb
him. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdzxuyktqO
"What'cha doing?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJuvOPbnbT
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07jZaekfRf
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJvXFHl1NE
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvR06qgUtO
David nodded. The boy 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpQP3Il470
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGsV1QJBo
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0xkkTTEy4
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc9swS9uM8
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYq9iBKguW
read them someday."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92z3VbJ8cV
Twitch muttered 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaJ9zQFIqe
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYe5RB4lF
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8VyfCwKep
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBvWUyvwcy
Twitch started shaking 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ9bODamXo
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmLFDiwEG8
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneijemxc4b
jump back even more than David did497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ZxXEH5ik
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ63pjak7B
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTh1cKGFoR
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ot4PwALSB
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tIpbApnlq
any instinct he had.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ImuKm6dd
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiL1rBTBIt
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGVLsc7gYL
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx2oQpnwb7
now.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp11tGYRTg1
"Nonsense." Francesca 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9msuNRjYI
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RCFzP55uw
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKY1tz39xS
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRmuiVk4fK
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtWByXJa9S
dark red.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0hurVdSjV
Francesca spared Twitch 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyN6TWue8n
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Gbn1ymt2
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjBrmWETa4
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mcAeTUKmU
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo68aLRZwC
was popularly called.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoiqVBn2Mm
The rebels not only 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDg9y89WKh
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDvOc2WV5p
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjaLTo65J8
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCIhakQMrr
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOfH3ih8Z6
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWV0f8OY9v
to them. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj1LztQrKC
David attended one of 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMzamcRy4
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9RZEahFRG
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoQE7YAP2k
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY4SBy3HJj
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2c3jNpgeh
learn anything new.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6q8ryrqs
Before leading her group497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8HT2sQwZs
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhqCx1cXuG
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SqkmR017v
"Of course, I'll see you497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH4P2pXM1i
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDs52ZnzZC
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnibojB0PIB
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaFRc4Breu
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnz22L9NYX
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xHuVjvhLT
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjaClBL7Zj
remember his parents or family.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM19MvX8cvm
Francesca, unaware of 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhZzz0wfib
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5sKTmT9pM
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dGGX6QV4u
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg7c1F5hcV
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJNPO4JRYk
Nook was an interesting 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBwVJNXyWG
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTwVPG3PQt
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEAfhNYJ72
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4VlXCB34i
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxRzVB4BOv
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpPgc6hs8S
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOhcVpI1Pn
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX2Wi4NiMS
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMSoly4elO
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFygEEDWSC
Nook grinned a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3oDpDDCxs
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg27i6ewEbr
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHVozo3ktu
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9nS4kxjmb
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmBHujIh9R
backs.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrudXlhdHc
Thus any card games were497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6A30LVf5N
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPQEl4r2BI
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7GdoIknkq
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AaKy1I0ZM
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k4Z77S2SI
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X2JuBv3o2
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg47pQa6Y7U
did have.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf2s4mq2M7
Some did think it was a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kSAQanSId
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyMGgBqNLI
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9D67a1pnu
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KPS2VWiU
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bC2ycYX0I
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbICx0wcFx
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgjGl7MeWE
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGylWZf2gf7
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ufy6RTSI
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZUYHEX9Yd
food has been.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6pUzNzKsJ
They were the four main 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCSLUbUfYw
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLy53IJ2Dz
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Pn6DNLTh
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qCFqJMVTA
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZXQB4c8B
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdQREdsre
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenxhlwvRps
and accepted them.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnUCPzacD1
"''Ello boys." David 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMg0VkCqDC
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07P6QMDixJ
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUfHHa4TWl
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9MMtF8iqM
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQbcTqYf7D
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWap10iOPk
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobXg7ykjRx
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFImgQn6nN
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3NYLAH2Vg
least for his own benefit. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglO4LyqTQy
Nook was the first to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDatpYHoQE7
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtjgZ1onqk
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUB3vqpilP
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBm6fm2qJF
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7RP8zMCez
Tiruk, in answer, just 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoKwq8dLtr
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv7w4U37fe
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3huRjFs2p
Next card revealed. A 3 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7assXKwW5
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZmGIN92Ip
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BfvNHP9cn
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqngU0UKUp
very happy, old, man.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL0vh9fvnt
Since David didn't have 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNRlLAATzK
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv71L0R3rF
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gWYB3DNGz
would be safe to take a walk.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFYLFusriC
Another thing he took to497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXijDwilGy
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvXcMy3CmS
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TKxJmzDDu
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH5rxCwJNG
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMpiiTpc0q
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHU3NkTUL3
He also found various 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXNqIZI0ZF
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmJI6TjAcx
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnRb08BMJc
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEjOiu3Fux
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrVThgJtC4
being more careful.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjo0wuz72F
The caves themselves 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdyByjlQ3
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFS0PaQKdb
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8iCEq63uH
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWWdzyxwno
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyUaJWPMpj
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2bKURbym9
himself that limited their exploring time.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF5LbGT5Kd
That let David offer his497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9GkIuZNHE
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktZdNhwmop
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C21tUCaX1
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRznU7N4Mrw
free more people for patrols and other duties.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgdFvmNzpR
This time though he had a497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T5VobAW5k
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyObnUHCxfi
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDXEeVf7G9
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0s2chMtQ4
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0BIriHxFD
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIbcZueElx
That's where he was 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsPCkmD0pV
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUtvDjy8uv
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSsrCryidy
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gpTLCPA4q
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd1UhkE7Xt
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69QtNFJBzm
better in his mind.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVnV3GrAdi
Thus grabbing a torch as497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3rA3Fa7dT
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCzw5anLKZ
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Yaoik2Lw
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANf8gskZde
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZiD1cj37j
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mXx5AYlvb
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15wGYFZKYu
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMkosEi0HF
his mind wander and just blanked out. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf67ZolxkA
Before he even noticed, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvpX7caUuG
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkFlLlhDm7
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHdLfMkK4
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNEgkLMa0
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4eaSAjd9i
the smell of unwashed masses.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A8RoMRw67
It did seem that David 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvKY4Gybd1
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf5Um8F49s
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tmVXfJcOR
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodwyw6G6wb
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaQRXckYew
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDpwBIxinO
seemed to satisfy Stevie.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZtnuSffmH
"Don't keep Francesca 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEVeK6IC4K
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0YUdsKx1u
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvnPy8z4E3
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IUyBY8jGb
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlr766Ul46
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PIGEM2gNO
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQouogkVvj
walked away. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvUlxJDlDe
David smiled and waved 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vdXf7wJxl
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiQJxdcok8
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGySrA6O1b
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4CybnlOrE
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqbYtbCLFs
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGumz4xGVNj
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6O1yj4IqW
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvARUxlQh4Y
the paragon of virtue.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjTbsMgnIk
Her room, as per usual, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS50pCVlRzi
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSOQaaSeW
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh4f9VxxHP
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1WQhqssV7
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJms6ojC6X
to light up all caverns and pathways. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsg0oMJNvN
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CpHjZURwt
David sat down with a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt121ItpG1
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFaTHrtRdK
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljON69Khs9
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JPVin2O1S
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYY3yOIzko
in a stream. Delicious.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEG2jsuBxp
"So pleasantries first or business first?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2HeQBPP4W
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo28FvscVD5
Francesca nodded and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXliaNh1YAV
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnz4Bgdltd
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA3TeRixuP
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRclDRrvPuj
fast eating was paramount.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ERjPlHgv
As expected David 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc01pWkl6lJ
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYObB9EfPl
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9teVC2Y2aM
deliberate eater.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNhzVnldAz
"So on to business." She497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3rYRBt0AT
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOsJkk32C2
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaKlJy1VgQ
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaDuSdl754
"In a way. It's someone 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77ggSoFbAQ
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8s6vDFlnT
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqlxeFgfeo
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhesLOF6LZS
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjyhmCfrii
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc11ucyDF63
"Well, there is a 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIAtXTN3lY
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlicmclra0
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX1NvPfYNm
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhvnT8do54
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKSJqKIztV
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs8CQV2Moi
in a few days the edge of a different isle.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPq4Dov0uo
"We will also be moving 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRIRBCVk91
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuErEFdKEab
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aa0815Q7y
so some will know where to go."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh9eSMrkOG
"That's good, why did 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpee6l19f2s
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpbANQt1cR
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4UZISWukX
was interested in the answer.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSF30NKy8w
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v9olgUSTE
David nodded, not a full497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiITh6HDuCV
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsUHHx7aSW
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZyFOuv5m4
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2cCprJ3t3
"Thank you." She said 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCaoyuHqVt
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr8PsLh4Xy
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y4yMV53QU
regroup at a specified point."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK7CCldMBG
"How will you get 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym2NaAw4pa
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6v3E1VR6g
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlUY9VpUhV
city.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWo3tyECk2
"We have small sky 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZenWt4wvK
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByohRsWsr9
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjCRR5kThP
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvUauKeXJC
group."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEuZDFmgDK
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsABVxocRq
She gave him a sad smile497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtDkIb9aiG
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m3nInjL2S
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ981okcm1eM
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NIMYXuOqh
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUjv56Ivhh
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK1Xj0INIv
their past in the past.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghoJX0bQQn
"Now then, back to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNybmW8DIqt
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlrjkbUYmT
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreMPKcWJX6
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlZtR4BFNz
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKHiE15BB7
"You'll have it. I'm 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp93mPGuIX
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Rj3SUkBk
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf53z1umrks
on a rock hard surface.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56A2ZOag3j
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VWvbuvPTy
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcps49Ndqh
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fsFP2QwrU
"Sadly no, I'm as 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvfFOCtNea
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLs9smnRLW
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGEmU0ya6P
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsyOIQ3y8B
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqgex1Ll5M
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfopG1us7L
"Do not worry, I am 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprq05GC4hu
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFyPZjDUgy
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGLVeAcxYR
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9haXoASsxv
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsQI4sdLtf
"We're under attack, they found us."
