If David didn't dislike 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllI4PFcWjH
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3psLHueE7
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcsD1AXXZ4
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgtnlfc1hT
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuf1GV0wZZ
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUoWkDITQs
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXebxAFKV8
would just bite him to death first.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XjPSm7ACj
His shoes were 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QarcrlLc2
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm2YuQwpiQ
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUmlJOb8Ql
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkASnUCJGb2
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAfuYH6tt5
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF5WxqR7Z2
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8isJ8vXLr
from the various insects.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOzu4qlnxn
There was a silver 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYxXuSJN5h
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxtXKMae3j
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm8nh1kKY4
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iPPc5AP0P
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ChhLK7DNK
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcKdyt8eKp
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA0RbvZsH5
Thankfully, Gob left 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOk1fDbrNH
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wtjWDNqkp
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX5P0o3FZR
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj86MIeKN1
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33n6UBiHY1
be. ~537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJcU7WPfA
While Gob did give a 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJTrDO06Kd
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SB3RSwvbF
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SiT7RoLeD
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRYv4s2zsE
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TKKElDMcY
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27e7kGeOhY
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGdn3MF2sw
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM0iF7RpFj
David nodded, even 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLckHZDZtgU
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z9RrVhLyv
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7mqcEuiE4
voice was getting more excited.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkq19Nrv17
"From the commonwealth 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZFDwoKgZB
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVQMNuNv2W
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKljLiaCIjD
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZpQXUkRoO
gambling.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnVtpFmQZE
Denise bumbled his head 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorxLfXelCP
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauefy9aDTq
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBjhmd5uRt
after..." Denis trailed off 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jk7WaPZac
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmx8dVEw9d
Denise brightened up at 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1f9Akca3S
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMVy02PGae
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwAiQC0a9I
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqNZkgsVwa
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0EVPz9WL8
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS1OJwkD1a
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhDK2sToXd
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2NrtEGH2K
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwncnZEBRJM
Denise's eyes widened as537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUTPvkjXxe
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnr0sDTSoU
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwTWJllF3
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpCWwTD8KP
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vWgrUvO0H
"Alright enough chatter 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ePms1gaF
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzzW8v4BYK
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GobkNWGxR
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo2zclOV00
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkBR47oX6b
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMjtfKDt6e
Gathering all their 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3v8CTB7Pn
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyrCQMHGHt
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15UOna3DAP
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tw97gSAj4
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl9kjYNr9a
respectful.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTISAGGNLGr
"Sorry, but no." Gob 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoFfmFg1hd
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHzYgd5ZsI
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN1Z9byGb5
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDymDAUPpV1
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9JupgglnL
the tough journey but no such luck537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSzE0RtdFB
David was impressed by 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AOnViFazg
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum0HSu6Z7d
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef0jOvLIVx
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFWCsISCpo
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGT0aupO5H
Gob nodded. "Good you're537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pMsNX6bQ2
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWlvW8aW41
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv5BWLQeNB
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv4WcNeVn2
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7SvHYzeoQ
the ships he served on.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkCedB8wxN
Everyone began settling 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8j9PZTCun
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLYEaNH8YO
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTltdwZIZFF
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaB9LAR66m
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAAxoDoFSz
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA61ahDJ9wT
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODhv7E6b6y
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnXBY5MIQR
Everyone else finished 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRvOrhzhFY
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmMFjXK6KO
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGkVPjkCFx
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ3YJBNSaj
the big wide world.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ6P7p2a9Y
After a while, David 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BnsmLyuEr
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOiV3mpeXn
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTNADlk0uI
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjXTxAhrpC
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9r3RJ5QmI
some trouble sleeping."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfmCMNPmO
Angela looked at the 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ8oyV444d
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekl3cRKlQA
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnWM5RlaEc
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzRR5IE6nb
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZZx2EkRnk
"Everyone needs a loving537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmePUIygI
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8pUjODWQm
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEDB1LmpzC
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaGEMsOMgW
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfpSbnb6X2
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjkqZvN1Ez
David nodded. "Aye I was."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuD7TE0Uis
"But how'd you survive?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tX2EkjViB
"I'm just lucky I 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWha2yzs5Yo
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqV4OZLoSg
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfpQK9oMk2
yourself."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93UREh2MEQ
Angela blushed scarlet 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRcGgjHN2j
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MvNCf3zdB
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zGfoEtnXW
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM1V7C3zGV
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuwo7sf7q6
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3SCUOONY7
reading."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA4DfbY59X
"He sounds like a good 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4zqb4iJJM
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSob5bclpKo
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7S5Y5JEJ
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtFIeSU0WE
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVN1zveCc
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBbGcmG5Tr
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfahyuYd085
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmER6IO5BKV
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi68JCmTuK
Angela quickly rubbed 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibrnRojrCo
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BaPw9WK7G
that." She added with an awkward laugh.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3aQ9dF6vf
"Don't worry about it, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkKpBH7fbc
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSt3Kt50OY
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZKI0jGYh9
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrLQe9ssmt
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajuvD9W70
smile.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs8E17pIAu
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0K9F9eUEi
The next person on watch537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q08oGACvl
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEsHmKdWQ0
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfpenbcD6Z
name, quietly not to wake up others.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaHpfCNyHu
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBFEf0n9N8
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1c59voyji
Denis beamed at the words and slumped down besides David. "So, do you really think I'd be able to do it. Go all around Astaria?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxhaMTKWki
"Sure, with me showing 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7YqejbIHH
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjd0RFj5Ib
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fkm2nu6jP
scrap."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5fuBGmPGy
Denis looked down a bit 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YSk3xTQVf
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNsAnSItCf
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDqjfpWdiB
what I can or can't do."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlxXTVv2Ez
David nodded. He 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgNz4DS6tp
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSddVhK7lTA
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1pbFIFF8
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw69cs4JxE2
Denis nodded, cheering 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8FHWpRZyE
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAgPeMCRKU
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn7zTt0mfY
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04eNN4LF6S
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0bUBPot9I
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0De3fzKb05
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt85b7xbAVB
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MaLOrvbQq
Either way David wasn't 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAl76rp9SZ
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGrQMmjh4w
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8p3Bd7Hwz
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf82HriFBF8
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6BvHqnI3T
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2F8BKNpFd
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rgPTNFT8k
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8ppUWCIwz
After a lull in his 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBTBH5rX5z
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQB27g7fMZ
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoqsq8LQEx
"Oh! Well we think 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YnlzyIZ5B
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD95dwEXOW7
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidG1KgZpoN
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ixfoNim1q
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0ge0E74or
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NAeHJv0G3
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZyQco9eQw
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm7RdhdKQF
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKKgFwzcd7
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0cJoFyFjL
happy songs.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnm3j5p3Qe
After Denis's watch 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjtlBcc7pD
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVzwcoKsgB
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAE9UsX3E0
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeBJwKKHRb
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KhwZMH74t
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdKEIx7iFX
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ouqX7p11P
With a sight David 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed59n5njTV
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt55P0Ktpnw
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfvP2cXzVt
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9I5KRyD1a
As Rock continued his 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTlRuhURog
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZPFymthA
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqnSvNgsMp
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunHU530FwY
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hAhoJAZKv
To David's dismay the 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi1hVXS1Kq
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq69yoSr6t
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIg0sbNQQ6
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AoY3fVHKT
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9nKD9AeBw
gruesome journey.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ442gkwc78J
As soon as he closed his537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HYjnPTWNl
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b96sP5wiJ
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMN9Q88Cg1
"Oh fall off, you cloud 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFpkagBdlQ
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMHpKyJWTd
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVKWtmK1t2
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNjc9CMil
him. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELYGamAlPV
During the walk Denis 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f8Tmt01Uz
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vKW0XHX09
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITXho82e5f
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7qDHGR07Y
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR7aLSXvAW
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91bsyOcJIP
