If David didn't dislike 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWuc36EPfa
nature before, he definitely did by now. With all the insects flying 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY6e0u7CJ4
around, trying to either get a bite of him or taste his blood, and 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2P6kgB15y
walking on the uneven ground it was truly beginning to dawn on David 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8J8TvuFTv
that he didn't belong in the great outdoors. He was a city boy, no a 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfMyqxAj3x
ship boy. With the sky being his home and a metal grave his most likely 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVz0I8rM1g
resting place. But in his current situation it looked like the bugs 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRUcewNm5o
would just bite him to death first.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBthP2LtxYN
His shoes were 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJbDQl3Tev
unsuitable for long nature tracks and they were about to fall apart, his645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFzdA8dP8R
clothes couldn't protect him from all the bugs and at this point he had645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUqRtnqIuT
more red spots than skin. David glanced with envy at the coats his 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacLsLVIPGf
newfound friends were wearing. At first glance it looked like an 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReXIvZnnD1
assortment of random clothes, but David changed his assessment. Their 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWdy5mdyWv
clothes not only made them blend with the forest but also protected them645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZOSfVJNa
from the various insects.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHREuog8DWy
There was a silver 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p2MqILjVt
lining and it was the fact that they were taking a break. Even if the 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6qmiecgsH
rebels were used to long walks they still needed to take breathers here 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgAELJfYyv
and there. Although Gob himself didn't seem to be affected the younger 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaohMxeqFMg
rebels weren't quite as enduring. Neither was David and he wasn't shy to645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQHUV6jJhF
let everyone know by releasing a loud sigh and plummeting down on soft 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXDlzFnPTG
grass. That, of course, earned him a glare from Gob.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe20JK5khE4
Thankfully, Gob left 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUilDLV8cvV
David alone, tied up to the closest tree. So here he was relaxing, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAHtdrqR3W
trying to make the most of it by stretching his legs and moving his 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHp4YY2Ve5
shoulders. He caught Denis's attention and nudged his head inviting the 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWQ3qd1N5H
young lad to join him. ~Time to see how easily manipulated this one can 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs4kbq27X9
be. ~645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t6OOJOxtG
While Gob did give a 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMWcltq6wi
disapproving look, he deigned not to mention anything and went back to 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2xOiCn3J
his map which was laid out in the middle of their makeshift camp, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSiyiC0fJz
marking down something. The youth made his way across to David and sat 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtszONAL8w
down next to him. He fidgeted with the musket for a bit, David moved his645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQvYkKEKbJ
head as far away from Denis as possible not wanting his head to have an645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQJgR7QzYn
additional hole. Finally done and putting it on his lap, Denis turned 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeilp5gO7y
to David with his eyes bright. "So, you're a sky traveler?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhRCdHbg9I
David nodded, even 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb97bIpbk1
though he wasn't much of a sky anything without a ship. That didn't seem645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6lBUdL1gd
to dissuade the boy." So, you've travelled all around I imagine!" His 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwan0nLbgXD
voice was getting more excited.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYEbbYUXYI
"From the commonwealth 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupLoUGQqTi
to the empire. From the central isle to the outer isles themselves." 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8xm0zymR
David said nodding, of course he'd never been to any of the outer isles.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtwfUdJRl9
He's been to the central isle though, a heaven for drinking and 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbFYT3a5Ka
gambling.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNSAWZ8iZY
Denise bumbled his head 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfHuD1kWYU
up and down and then continued more sadly. "I' never really traveled 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpZQT9S40i
that far, only been to da's farm. As well as some of the close isles 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhNVplpaka
after..." Denis trailed off 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFdMG6VyQh
"You're still young, the whole world is open to you." 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsQCbvdu2M
Denise brightened up at 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yF1glU9Mt
that." I always did want to travel the world! Once we beat the empire 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcMIbD9Z2d
I'll go to all the isles." He looked away from David and then continued 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufphUbXCCw
more shyly." And ah since you already know about ships maybe I could 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7iekQulR9
take you, just untill I know how to plough the field myself!" 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG4auHgiWi
~Plough the field Wha..I don't even know where to begin with that one.~645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPH3UHyrr7
David chuckled at that. "Sure kid, I'm your prisoner after all." He showed off his bound hands for effect.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlVp7o3o5m
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure once you spoke to Francesca you'll be out of them!"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqUoU5ikKh
"Sorry, who?" David heard Gob mention her once before, but didn't have time to ask anyone about her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk0ydYnS5D
Denise's eyes widened as645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjmqcO7q9v
if he couldn't believe David didn't know who it was. "Francesca, she's 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOGqKP3xyH
our leader! She and Gob gathered most of us and got us here! I should 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLH9Vgjasi
probably call her something else, but she insisted we call her 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokyLJiCUHN
Francesca. I think she's a noble, but..."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzJCezEdLG
"Alright enough chatter 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9iOvLczFn
you two. "Denis never got to finish his thought as Gob got up and 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ3BVQPPKM
interrupted him. "We're going now, we won't make it to our base today, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqW8Lo9UsM
but I want to find a better spot for a camp." He gathered the rest of 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MXYx0Uibl
the rebels and pulled David up using the rope. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0eQAr4zyu
"You know I can get up myself?" That just earned him a violent tug from Gob.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Qz5CDBGr
Gathering all their 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KPIJgMfni
supplies the ragtag group continued their adventure through the trees 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5szYmgwXX
and bushes. Thankfully the perfect spot manifested itself before David 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXAIoxejKo
could die from some unknown disease. "Any chance for a fire, sir?" 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHebQzLLc63
Angela asked, she seemed to be the most proper out of everyone and most 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzRKRI4nLK
respectful.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzlgJ8DXjN
"Sorry, but no." Gob 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ABZF8igl0
said shaking his head. "Another night of cold food and drinks for us." 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLdpIL14Dk
He said not unkindly and patted her shoulder. "Alright roll out your 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3M441gMAs
sleeping bags and claim your spot. We'll decide watch duty later." David645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwGYWXR3Pb
groaned internally, he was hoping for something warm in his tummy after645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnDVPSqHZv
the tough journey but no such luck645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicy4Ee3bK
David was impressed by 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kuwF15xFC
how fast the youths managed to unroll their beds, they didn't seem to be645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepyXCkqYgq
the most disciplined, but they were accustomed to roughing it up 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5sq6siXdG
outside. Sadly, David did not get a bed, instead he received a comfy 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP6Rw3WqtD
tree he could lean on, which made him hate nature all the more.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ihtU499cF
Gob nodded. "Good you're645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTBKlyF3Kk
getting faster, we'll draw straws to decide on the watch." Even though 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuJDKrOCqY
it was dark, and they were further away, David could see the youths 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7V0Ygutlk
beaming at the praise. None complained about their watch after drawing 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixTrr3y5xf
their straws either. David had never seen such professionalism on any of645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyClA3u3lJ6
the ships he served on.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsIHnbrALe
Everyone began settling 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9a46hW8xw
down and taking out their rations. Unwillingly and grumbling Gob shared 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBqG6sc8mv
his own rations and water. David clumsily stuffed his face with the 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaVOceYQZz
tasteless meat, his hands still being tied didn't lead to a most 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixZDkiIGud
graceful dinner and poured it down with the foul-tasting water. Even if 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Y4pLJIdV
the food was tasteless and the water foul he was still grateful he had 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle35qAOorR
something inside him. Having done that, David got comfortable around his645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmBuMBrbje
tree, but not to go to sleep, no, he had other plans.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQs7UraHVF
Everyone else finished 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLZsbNT6nh
their dinner at around the same time as David and started settling in 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJfNXjWzw8
for bed. Except for Angela who was the first one on watch. David was 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOaVekqKtY
hoping she was like Denis, someone who was interested in his stories of 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPaqrL8pBC
the big wide world.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUD5APCHNs
After a while, David 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOlfQp6api
didn't have any way to count time, he decided to implement his plan, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Di4E6F50V
which mostly just consisted on getting the rest of the group on his 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKnlUivShB
side. He managed to call Angela over as she was passing him by and asked645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLbvjQJ98y
her to join him. "Was just wondering if you could join me, I'm having 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yyaHoGhNQ
some trouble sleeping."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ664h826oXz
Angela looked at the 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdUgayf6Nw
sleeping figure of Gob and then back at David, shrugging awkwardly. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkNX9GnOJs
"Alright." She walked closer to David and stood next to him.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jeyWAOlDg
"You know they are quite lucky to have you. I've seen how you look after them"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7igTPaeqMO
Angela gave a shy giggle at the compliment. "It's Gob, he's the one keeping us alive. I just mother them." 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77kwsO84lO
"Everyone needs a loving645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0z4jJDwKa
mother." Saying that made David feel weird but he shrugged it off. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR7CfqHJF8
"Especially when out fighting a war. I'm sure you do as much as Gob in 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RdfqcrJdf
keeping them alive." Angela seemed to find comfort in those words and 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwuK2EmAx9
shuffled her way a bit closer to David.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrqWxUM7PV
"You're kind to say so..." she seemed to hesitate asking her next question. " Uhm...were you really on that ship?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi7vkruhcn
David nodded. "Aye I was."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ds6IoMwk
"But how'd you survive?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtAQNkrcG8
"I'm just lucky I 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1HXeQUwVa
guess." David said with a smile. "Honestly I don't know. I'm glad I did,645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiQ8XYQY8R
since I get to enjoy a conversation with such a beautiful lady as 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpeCPO8IlP
yourself."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ksEKXjITA
Angela blushed scarlet 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYfzDIyofU
and turned away. "I ain't no lady. Just a farm girl." She seemed to want645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3qr12XR9s
to say something so David let her be in silence for a while. "We all 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg33OsO6xAC
grew up on the same farm." She waved at the other sleeping figures. "Me,645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bgvQtj4Me
Denis, Rock and Twitch. We're not related by blood, but we are family 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI53s0GM8G
nonetheless. And pa looked after us well. Even taught us basics of 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnbjJXGYUt
reading."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9IlhNqrc0
"He sounds like a good 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjShgT42ga
man." David knew it was hard to learn to read if you couldn't afford to 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYfFhjxTT7
learn. He heard that the Commonwealth and the Republics are opening 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq4nSnyghD
schools for everyone, but the empire and independent isles were still 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwTqo5hO54
pretty backwards about that, only allowing education to the rich or 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtg4phOsCa
noble born. Having said that David never learned how to read either, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUPEqyuC0U
even though he was born in the Commonwealth.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqUnkWrshM
"He was." Angela nodded smiling. "He died protecting our farm." She went silent, most likely reminiscing about her father.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFokdMQL6S8
"I didn't know the man personally, but I'm sure he'd be proud of how you're keeping your family together."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYMFhEl2Y8
Angela quickly rubbed 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGeOz2qBgd
her eyes. "Thank you, sorry I'm not sure why I decided to tell you all 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv6HoSS5M8
that." She added with an awkward laugh.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwo22sjTdy
"Don't worry about it, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FcLqdJSy1
whenever you need to you'll have my ear." Angela smiled gratefully and 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i26N6ffCi
blushed again looking away from David. "Thank you." She said quietly. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJCvjpHnAe
But then perked up a bit. "I'll take a walk, make sure no one is around.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz3lvwM5h8
You should get some sleep." She added the last part chidingly but with a645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMw30wRHDj
smile.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOStmLfqVX6
David smiled as well, but for a different reason. That's one of them caught in his web645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XGnRmmqoU
The next person on watch645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqMYQCwrIv
was Denis. David could see as Angela rousing Denis and he got up 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlnOgEpDQs
moaning about lack of sleep. David got Denis's attention by saying his 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9srmYG6lI
name, quietly not to wake up others.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskjVw0UaGN
Denis with a smile made his way across to David. "Oh, I was afraid you'd be asleep."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCUdyU4qag
"How can I sleep, when my captain is awake?" David replied with a wink.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo1rdxfewG
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?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNsmzU8Eak
"Sure, with me showing 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEKt9rDEPS
you...uhh...how to plough the field we'll go from one end to the other. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l3Wrj6lbp
We'll need a crew though; your family seems like they'd be good in a 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPWDDFJq78
scrap."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRIGROcOrA
Denis looked down a bit 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0ADg9GTi
before replying. "I don't want them there, I love them but I also want 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRPs8RTuHb
to be independent. I want to make my own way, without anyone telling me 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2jQH93qcZ
what I can or can't do."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6bdZyjvNs
David nodded. He 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPWA7WrOgQ
understood that strive for freedom quite well." Well, since, you'll be 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4tQSl1ZcS
captain you'll be the one flying the ship." Denis looked confused at 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxcK8wv6Gv
that. "You'll be free to do whatever you want cap"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplh4SW6dUE
Denis nodded, cheering 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBryRniqPB
up. "Yeah and we'll fight pirates and save damsels and get rich!" He was645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKdFk4e165
becoming more animated with his talk. Poor kid. ~head full of 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YSvWtWJhc
fantasies~ nothing in flying the skies except spending time near dirty 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GbinB81zd
and, usually, annoyed people as well as being afraid for your life on a 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiC74klYmq
daily basis, hoping that the falling void engine doesn't blow or that 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4YphFTIj9
you don't get shot down. The freedom and riches though, if you were 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb4UrVGNZ9
lucky you'd have both out in the skies.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDRAQHYwIn
Either way David wasn't 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj2oWPiKdG
planning on destroying Denis's dreams with reality, so he told him more 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtVPeaDJh8
stories, exaggerated stories of his adventures. Of how he jumped from 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAcFfxtdSl
one ship to another disabling it and saving his crew. Of how he romanced645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9lQtQkIyu
a nobleman's daughter escaping with her and her, eventual, tragic 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUIMAc2JbW
death. Of how he was overcome with grief but lived on and became 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtwT28UtNr
stronger for it, quite riveting stuff. David was sure the next tale was 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf41NzIfXbI
more ridiculous than the one before, but Denis ate it up. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFOBg7eLBF
After a lull in his 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdtC6Xvf4X
stories David decided to find out more about his actual captors. "Hey, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpVa8zr4Tb
you never finished talking about Gob and Francesca."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0s4xoUSIi
"Oh! Well we think 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PYytZGS8L
she's, uhm Francesca not Gob, a noble! She's just so graceful and smart 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GOBktv1vA
and nice! She and Gob are basically the leaders, but I don't know much 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozscJbIuTu
about their past, don't think anyone does. They're amazing though, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70dzNdSJ1
they're nobles and they care about us peasants!" Denis told more stories645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOziLWSs40
about Francesca and Gob. About how Francesca teaches the rebels to 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRxLde1UTb
read. Or how Gob thought them how to shoot and basic fighting skills. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqO1czLEEE
The more David listened the less it seemed like the dangerous army and 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGen8otQLma
scourge that the empire was portraying them as, to David it seemed more 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qL5eTxjcW
like a group of friends gathered to teach other valuable skills and sing645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5LUQLKrpY
happy songs.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsweye5siXF
After Denis's watch 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ukJMakDlA
ended, Rocks begun and...well he wasn't much of a conversationalist. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn0v8Hiay9
Even so David tried as Rock was passing him by.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYFjcBLmWj
"So, I heard you grew up on a farm with the rest here?" Grunt645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWkj8cOgdh
"Can't imagine what's it like growing up with a big family like that." Grunt645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCOUhutoko
"You...you're quite good at this whole talking thing, aren't you?" Grunt645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwtBEiCI3r
"Well, I do say that a family needs someone steady in their midst" Grunt645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1JSFwIamk
With a sight David 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSHKKThWcR
stopped trying to hold a conversation. Maybe the youth was mute or maybe645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YafoSgC2P
he just wasn't all there. David imagined you'd have to be crazy to 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzJ3l0AOeZ
fight for some higher cause than your own purse.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfDhepRnba
As Rock continued his 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JoDCaCUVc
vigil in silence, David could see the sky gaining some colour. Meaning 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrPXWR8bO7
that the next person to take watch would be the last. David was hoping 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU4eqxpysp
it would be Twitch who was scared of his own shadow more often than not,645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkmjWX9bFx
he looked like someone who could be easily manipulated.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jQ7FUoVo8
To David's dismay the 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPfy3NCp2l
last person was Gob. Who just stared at David and went the other way, 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR62GnuywV
not bothering to even mutter a word. David didn't see much of a point to645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBJiRngwvz
stay up after that, so he decided to finally get some shut eye or 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXt2Fa6EZN
atleast close his eyes for a few minutes before continuing their 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdQVC1htbm
gruesome journey.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCZNpdn5Yu
As soon as he closed his645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2BI6Q7HUb
eyes David was woken up with a kick to the ribs, he gave a violent 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hNK94qTyL
cough and looked up to see Gob grinning at him. "Time to wake up, liar."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRww3M3JfcI
"Oh fall off, you cloud 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyyoaKHI7d
sucking bastard." David muttered under his breath but complied easily 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRh2rcCqCq
enough when he was untied from the tree. Gob promised a short walk, he 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacaI4WRX6
also promised an easy walk. David was sure that Gob was the liar not 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJDm8pDvB9
him. 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11eyq9jpt7
During the walk Denis 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T6puESOnt
did walk closer to David and asking him questions in whispered tone when645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE9lpHuV7I
he thought Gob wasn't looking. David also noticed Angela giving him 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nmycztG5y
quick glances and smiled back at him when he gave her one. So at least 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimTGNPGkRX
he was winning them over, he was hoping it would mean something when 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvMlbw0BUl
they met with Francesca and decided David's fate.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sanfYV1ns
"We're here." Gob 645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInlo4fB5hP
