"Never shtopped ush before." A pause as the old man spat to the side. "What about fighting then, too little of ush?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4wgvzed0C
Gob shook his head, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8q0Dsr3iM
tired. David could understand that, and he was annoyed he could 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDThplLQWo
empathize with Gob. As per Gob's decision every time it was David's turn587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvtGFNuLpq
to go patrolling Gob accompanied him. At first David found this 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID49bJgmxj
insulting, he was the paragon of trust after all, but after a few of 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83lqPalEwP
such patrols he just found it annoying. Ever patrol was usually 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fSdUik3pI
conducted with 3 or 4 people, usually with different people. There were a587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYBIgGUcGg
few constants in those groups though, the first was that David and Gob 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9TqZVEhf6
were in them and the second was that someone always asked when they 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp97jvYrB2E
would move.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SGqIbGirP
Now David has only been 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhOCnyxvlV
in the camp for a month now and managed to glean some information from 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbrfrXuJGv
the other rebels and just observations. There were three groups of 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb4R6ZlIXk
rebels. Peasants, peasant-soldiers and soldiers, as David liked to call 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PyRyqGSoC
them. Peasants and peasant-soldiers were the people with no, to only 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99BarsU9TC
basic, military training. Such as Denis and his ilk. The soldiers 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lw1QvPp1W
weren't necessary from the military, but they had more experience. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4f3RclhWh
Experience wasn't the only difference, civilians and civilian soldiers 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P1ReMoNsz
loved and trusted both Gob and Francesca. Soldiers only trusted Gob. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsxPr9IGG
Which worked out nicely for David as he could use this discord and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5FPf6VTvK
divided loyalties.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdeqp3j8N3
Another important thing 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5vjk2d9I
he managed to find out was that the rebels had stayed on the same isle 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumrvtEhA0I
for three months. Many of the rebels were unhappy with the prolonged 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Feu0zVfs
stay, especially the soldiers. This resulted in that question and Gob 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ680BIsp2dQ
giving the same answer to anyone who asked. It was really riveting stuff587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAOxfA0EoX
for David, especially after hearing it for the twentieth third time. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlJ57CINBk
Ol' Stevie asked it around two or three times over the past few days to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN4VguPnZT
their destination.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuqxO39kcL
Today they were out 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprqbCO1M80
looking at the new imperial camp, turning into more of a makeshift fort,587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS6duJPXB8
being built around the wreckage of the 'Flying Fish'. It was a crude 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk1VZgNSWd
construction, something that could be easily taken apart. They were 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY253lFKWc6
joined by Rock and another rebel, called old toothless Stevie, on 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h4GFl0BfP
account of him being old and having lost most of his teeth. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QEP6dWKp
"Yes, now shut up and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFCK0QswBG
remember everything you can about the imperials." Stevie shrugged at 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrzvXNfQ7j
that and continued looking through his binocular. David kept further 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3XYyWhM6t
away from the pair, watching their backs with Rock, the youth did not 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3lkFKv4tn
become any more talkative during Davids stay in the caves.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCysccZSyE
They were at their 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKkoZVYFFS
lookout spot for a few hours at this point and David was glad he didn't 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQsCjNfwxt
feel any magical tugs coming from that direction, after discussing it 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo8lAQlGn7
with Francesca it turned out that what David felt was a magical tug, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHtFbfJJDR
looked like the imperial soldier wasn't anywhere near it.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRRUqyHFP
"Alright, that's enough.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOWEIML2p5
Let's head back." Gob proclaimed to the group and David sighted in 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ9yNUXR7f
relief. Thankfully David was given new shoes, to help him walk, as well 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteNwbvXV3g
as new clothes and even an eyepatch. The walk itself was silent and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4OWSRJJVA
brutal. Gob set a murderous pace and he didn't look back to check on any587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KDoPBpIms
of them except for Rock, who bore it with his usual silence.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZal7wKFi5N
David walked in silence 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgQOW47h1s
as well. More to preserve his breathe, than anything else, as he felt 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESryJPIiiU
that he would fall to the ground if he even tried speaking. Toothless 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6PLZkAJRD
Stevie may have been old and not have teeth, but he had more stamina 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrUCSjlexh
than David, farm work really built you up for long hours of activity.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIQTltqMrs
A walk that would've 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74r5f4yKnG
taken most of the day was managed in about half a day. David was so glad587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIevy1aSJku
to see the damp cave that he was ready to kiss the rocks when he came 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRHGfz05hV
inside. The camp itself did not change much over the past month and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j7wGtXd1G
David was still the new guy. Though he made good strides in integrating 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT6xvbgKPs
himself as most of rebels waved to him in greeting.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtlZrU62Ma
"I'll go report to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4gnP3BOUF
Francesca. You can go relax." Gob passed David without a glance at him. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ5xVGoFlu
The fact that Gob didn't glare or spit at David's direction must've 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqo3vrzJnk
meant that he was finally warming up to him! At least it was more than 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9k6ZeikXy
David got over the past month, in fact he was ready to give up on ever 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35EI9nqyD
winning Gob over.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqQ7i5Dd6t
Francesca on the other 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdggqXMe9g
hand warmed up to him quite fast. As Denis summarized and David 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTBsktxm4s
confirmed she was a noble, a well read and knowledgeable noble but 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh79D4qmf6
someone who hasn't left her estate a lot and has never traveled outside 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjQb3rWlR
the empire. While David was the well-traveled dashing smuggler. He 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTUVGEgLpM
managed to enthrall her with made up stories and adventures. To be fair 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ7SID1hMq
to Francesca she wasn't the only one falling under David's charm. As 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSNGytXrBy
most of the rebels found it hard to resist the dashing rogue act.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih0949thhX
David just wished he 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB1Mro53K8
could win them over without going on patrols and risking his life. Oh 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkVlGMDnHb
well no one said being a parasite was easy.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu7If800mC
Further down the camps 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt1v6v90v4
he could see Twitch, the nervous brother of Denis. Over the past month 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd1kIs4rN3
he integrated himself with the siblings, becoming a part of their gang. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCAKMomVsc
As the siblings were liked by the rebels in general this made them trust587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmtf36Xazu
David all the more. David decided to join Twitch so he snuck up behind 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0jpGP73yr
him. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xA4e6vhzn
"What'cha doing?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAZZvvaICg
Twitch practically jumped out of his own skin. "Agh! Oh D-david. Don't s-scare me l-l-like that."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmQkQRtoW
"Sorry, twitch." David said patting the boys shoulder. "Didn't mean to, you know I hate doing it." He loved it587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc4FVjsdit
Twitch nodded and stood beside David." 'S alright. I-I-I'm just easily sca-ar-ared."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODAvatKF8k
David nodded. The boy 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYjiGmlqIS
was lucky to have any friends at all." Nothing wrong with being scared."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2QagH5mxQ
He said with a comforting smile. "We all have our own strengths, like 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzgwTC47tR
you..." David paused for a bit racking his mind for something to say. "A587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kz86mUWKA
poet! A man of dreams! How're your poems going anyway? I still want to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhABVpew5MQ
read them someday."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qJKbw4m2P
Twitch muttered 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg4JHNc0x1
something under his breathe. David motioned with his hand for him to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4DJNSEqB9
speak up. "...n-not poems. But son-so-songs."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dXmbWHgvw
David stopped himself from shrugging and smiled. "Songs, even better then! Why not create a song for the rebellion?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4QzzgyRgy
Twitch started shaking 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnOnHk1uHZ
his head but before the words: 'No' formed on his mouth a voice 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodl2iQZEt0
interrupted them. "A hymn truly sounds marvelous!" Francesca made Twitch587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUD8mEGAth
jump back even more than David did587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LG6gjnVT
"I-I-I" He continued in that vain for a while.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWhHyyQS6d
"Speak up soldier!" Gobs587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC1u6IwlCX
voice resounded around the cave, making everyone glance at Twitch, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qA66ko5yB
which should've made his stuttering worse. But his fear of Gob took over587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrmE78Ldwk
any instinct he had.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpidQj24Xz
"I'mnotgoodenough!" He 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRWi6jJf8A
said as fast possible. David was astounded it was probably the first 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrzB8VKnQw
time the boy didn't stutter. Not that he could understand what he said 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC2VOinmQW
now.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlKRzc1nVt
"Nonsense." Francesca 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nn6q2DPfR
put her hand on Twitch's shoulder. She didn't seem to have any trouble 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlQOxHPlcn
understanding him. "Write me a song when you can, and we will sing it, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7poXh6Oed4
all of us together." She projected her voice to others nearby which 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsItBadVNeA
raised a rugged cheer. That just made Twitch hide his face as it went 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOEaC5wPaI
dark red.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfx9OXZVAj
Francesca spared Twitch 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yENaNVeVz
one last warm smile and turned to the rest of the rebels standing 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN9liQEFxp
around. "It's time for your daily studies! Spread the message!" Both 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRXQuNBcLL
children and adults listened to Francesca, without a hint of 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadQfSieivq
disobedience, and started moving in one line to the study cavern, as it 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlsNWLXO3F
was popularly called.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxtHYPYkRb
The rebels not only 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBPDtu3GbK
respected Francesca for her leadership and attitude towards the 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0osJcdoNq7
peasantry, but also her attempts to educate them. Most of the rebels 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRkNgUL95a
didn't know how to read or basic math while Francesca was an educated 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlZVVDTEiM
noble, thus she decided to teach everyone in the rebellion the basics. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWS5vvFGPI
No one was barred from the lessons and both young and old were invited 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcLz0ARcmy
to them. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptNoKRki3g
David attended one of 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcoOQ9LFtx
those lessons but found himself too bored to continue. They were talking587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gJM4rXzoH
about letter and numbers and some researcher named Vesputti or 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S5FEe9mrO
something similar. Thus, he skipped over on those lessons, he wasn't the587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzsUtAudLj
only one as most of the adults had decided that they were too old to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJZujAk9dD
learn anything new.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnA1wgBU0y
Before leading her group587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaED0EwYev
to the secluded cavern, Francesca approached David. "I'd like if you'd 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2b22kvvYE
dine with me tonight, if it's to your liking?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZwamHTyXb
"Of course, I'll see you587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjH3SDDFt4
later." Francesca did that sometimes, inviting David over. Chatting 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj07KBLtfS
about trivialities, like whether he had any more vision about The Five. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9x1nO9I6j
Thankfully Jester didn't deign to appear yet so David managed to sleep 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcNPtAXKPx
peacefully, well not accounting the strange dreams about some boy crying587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX0abT09hs
and calling for his mummy. Those dreams made David wake up in a foul 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjhsvtSlwn
mood, he wasn't certain why but thought it could be because he didn't 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kxTsSOhqA
remember his parents or family.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGXoJD6DKN
Francesca, unaware of 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo2LsTq32u
David's thoughts or dreams, nodded with a smile and led her group from 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiX2KgeOE4
the main cavern. Twitch following her and joining his sibling to whom 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBcPQpzUx0
David waved. Turning around he came face to face with Nook.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG66oVQLkZS
"I'm off duty now, got some guys looking for a game. You're in?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1saFdDCrnB
Nook was an interesting 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4FVP603Z7
case, while he was definitely Gob's man he didn't seem to be as 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0hBmaiOrb
disciplined as the other soldiers. He was also one of the few soldiers 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDD5pI1y9E
who was friendly with David instead of following Gob's lead and hating 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4HeeWlZsD
his guts. So they decided to have a card game here and there while 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiyk78UFMl
inviting other people, a card game in which David lost more often than 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY05ZmaAhR
not. While David hated losing in cards it was a good method of making 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENy1mQNAWU
friends and getting to know people. As well as a guarantee to keep 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPhsAYkNTD
getting invited as long as you lost smart and graciously accepted it.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6LgGM150a
"Aye, why not Nook. Maybe I'll clean house this time."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAntyltI61
Nook grinned a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZDP124Qh7
predator's smile and led David towards a secluded table. While gambling 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWXudgVOD4
wasn't banned or anything, as long as you were off duty, it was frowned 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhokFpj3kmI
upon by Gob. That and most rebels having limited resources. Having only 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDhJ6KYCE7
their clothes and weapons stolen from the empire or brought on their 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtHkPT8pcn
backs.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9epG0IjVm2
Thus any card games were587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9STKDJHLo
just that, games to pass the time. At least until David proposed to bet587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQZrpKvmt
their rations. Everyone received the basic rations few times per day 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQHx84SNbX
and it was up to them how much of that they ate. It was barely enough to587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTaN1Z7AFk
feed a healthy adult. As they have been on this isle for a while it was587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr17qREiQC
harder to find fresh animals to hunt every day. A lot of the rebels 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjskH5qDTjF
were opposed to that idea as they'd loose on the last bits of food they 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURA2ZwiHY0
did have.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xp8ZhRgAF
Some did think it was a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsqgNkiNeZ
brilliant idea and David was sitting down with a few of them right now. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ABsy69zqZ
Nook, he was confident in his card abilities. Apparently before joining 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUyQ3ExOvi
the rebellion he was a militiaman in his village and gambled a lot. As 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxqF0EoTuu
far as David could see he was more lucky than actually good. Old 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlESoAwU5qz
toothless Stevie, he joked that if he did lose his rations that it would587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4FBd1JErJ
save his last teeth. He also wasn't afraid to bet most of his rations 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebhucirwnl
scaring the other players into folding, a good bluffer. Finally there 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBFcnk2RlN
was Tiruk, a huge man who definitely needed more rations just to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcVyYEjLIu
survive. It surprised David anyone could keep that weight with tight the587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTVbF7eK7B
food has been.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxW2qhGnKj
They were the four main 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2uTxXw2aB
players who usually joined the gambling games. Sometimes others joined 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeM273hlPo
but they usually stopped after going hungry for a day or two as they 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUHmIOEc9q
lost their rations. These four though didn't give up after losing, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvFazB4WgR
because they knew that their chances of a feast were just around the 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTcoCCZbcq
corner. That fact created a sense of comradeship between the players. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpse1vbY1x5
Even if they were playing against each other they understood the risks 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPVhMdj748
and accepted them.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSzW27ceY0
"''Ello boys." David 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjwpxthhw
said sitting down at the table with Nook. There were nods all around the587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUTg5eL2sY
table and the cards were dealt. They were playing a card game called 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijDWjBbjQN
match 'n go. Most of the rebels had not heard of the game or at least 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikxJS8X1Tn
knew it under a different name but most of them caught on fast, it was 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHvcrLWlK6
often just played for fun. But the best games came from betting. As the 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Ecm8DohZ
risks went higher you tried to fool your opponent into thinking that you587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4BhgoyS8Z
had the match or a higher card. David loved risk games like that, he 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61v0k9E2tw
loved reading the other player emotions and using it against them or at 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD13dQHDoV
least for his own benefit. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8hiX1Z1VD
Nook was the first to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQ2huWAjj
play. "I'm betting half of my rations on this. Gots a good deck, that I 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVFtPYcEJy
do." David could see the plastered smile on his face. At this point 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBxWQx9YVY
David could tell fake between real in a heartbeat. Nook was bluffing.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlut14UVfJ5
"Alright, I'll call that." David answered.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8YEsKrcf0
Tiruk, in answer, just 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GbTWVhRV
shook his head and folded. He wasn't risking it. Stevenson with his 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0T4AcjOWy
gaped smile called it as well and cackled a bit.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfpxqm9Dhy
Next card revealed. A 3 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWM0nfAlaG
for Davids two threes. He'd have to fold that game, too high chance of 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqIkMVOpF0
winning. So it went on and on, rations were won and lost. David won a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YlxNsRgdh
few games but then he bet everything and lost on purpose, made Stevie a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnzPC5b8om
very happy, old, man.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A3TSL5WKk
Since David didn't have 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzfoYUeimj
anything to bet with anymore he made his excuses and left the table. He 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59bkIjhQ6
took a look around for Gob and didn't see him anywhere so decided it 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPfEJckpit
would be safe to take a walk.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQejoAwscEP
Another thing he took to587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshUacWW1xB
doing over the past two weeks was exploring, finding any secret spaces 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eVyOtN2E8
where he might hide. The rebels themselves only found one possible 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡverThiv9xS
emergency exit while David found three. Of course the other two exits 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpt5PDAeRK
only were wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So it 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwY2tFoPTo
could be that they just didn't consider them as such.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUMumXrzis
He also found various 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8NBkT8Wib
hiding spots, not only for him but for items he stole. Weapons, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30LN6kQVbs
ammunition, food and the like. If only a small amount disappeared at a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFZRzHiBbH
time no one really noticed and attributed it to absentmindedness. Though587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3NUjfqusS
David believed Gob was getting suspicious so he would need to start 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXObaQlta0
being more careful.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq1UupOiFT
The caves themselves 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT31RJ3oovn
seemed to go through the whole isle, David didn't believe he explored 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiDmonFkuV
even half of it. Gob tried to send a few soldiers every day to explore 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnng8UZm5
further into the caves, but many were afraid of the dark, believing 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsDrlgHYRS
various beasts were residing in them. Refusing to go inside without Gob 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZomJEyMc
and since Gob was usually busy either creating or being out on patrols 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkgf2Q5C7Z
himself that limited their exploring time.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAaIO5Ulyc
That let David offer his587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiH646CD45
services as an explorer. He would explore the further caves and would 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7jv2Xrypl
report on any worrying circumstances. Gob was reluctant to let him go 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpPbjgHpkN
but was convinced by Francesca that it would be a grand idea as it would587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy1Oh7ZM0h
free more people for patrols and other duties.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFwUlQ1v0Y
This time though he had a587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX8NQS7d1D
destination in mind. A bit further into one of the pathways, about an 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86gWXpSwOS
hour from the main cavern, there was a small pathway where a thin person587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw88bOX7jY
could barely fit. Following that pathway, if you could survive the 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHINFO317PF
feeling of getting crushed by the walls, was a pool. David was surprised587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFMJDntUbU
when he found and astonished when he discovered the water was hot. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpsApexMU
That's where he was 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB7gkgTJZl
going now; he needed a clear head for Francesca's meeting. No matter how587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERfhYBRrOn
she acted she was a noble, they always sought the best deals for 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpv59YLMOs
themselves, always trying to ledge a situation in their favour. David 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8YVYEW4rD
would need to be on his toes. Or maybe he just wanted to actually relax 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThP2YF3gY4
without anyone screaming or crying, he didn't decide which one sounded 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxHCoTqllG
better in his mind.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPBwhVvMvZ
Thus grabbing a torch as587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqp1eBdYKm
many of the pathways further down weren't lit, he began his, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxMcqU5oJD
uneventful, journey. Luckily he reached his destination in a timely 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WwpzuJ6g5
manner, though he hated going through that cramped space. He gave a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBLMTp50zT
satisfied sigh as he sat down in the pool, his muscles losing the 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTRNjzo6Du
tension he gathered over the past few weeks, the water reached up to his587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmiGVM4nWy
chest and he dunked his head under the water finally enjoying a proper 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H1xtpYW7a
clean. He was careful to keep track of time but other than that he let 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKK9Xl2bxL
his mind wander and just blanked out. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozsnin9iG0
Before he even noticed, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYuughIXrI
to David's disappointment, it was time to leave. He was also saddened by587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvd408ApiM
the fact that the water ended up a bit darker after his bath, a way to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VsIPuT10F
hit a guys confidence. With a sad sigh he put on his dirty and worn out 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbtFT03M6H
clothes and went back to the main cavern to the sound of activity and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVW7E2lvaT
the smell of unwashed masses.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg4QuO1wLh
It did seem that David 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJAd4qH72G
came back just in time as people were gathered near the cooking pots to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91u3bvjBGD
gather their rations. David did the same and then found Stevie, sitting 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vUWIvb4AV
with some other older rebels, and gave him his rations. Stevie nodded 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Ne5miNot
and had a sparkle in his eye. "Maybe nexsht time you can save me 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKAe1SlP21
teethsh." And he cackled at his joke. David managed a weak laugh that 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86xjpH39DS
seemed to satisfy Stevie.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmGDNgccOn
"Don't keep Francesca 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpnoe7b552
waiting." Came a gruff voice from behind. David tried to hide his 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYJRo8HSc8
annoyance at the fact that Gob managed to sneak up on him and scare him.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf0DILM0q5
Some people just had no sense of proper manners.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn4ZYWFfzn
"Oh I wouldn't dare." 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVRVaecF6D
He gave a mock bow which seemed to infuriate Gob more. "I was just out 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4F0noRLyb
exploring, nothing to report so far, sir Gob." Gob just grunted and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKCQ5849Fp
walked away. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJCQ41tKJ2
David smiled and waved 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKdBk9B6Vz
after him, the guy really needed to unwind. With nothing else to do but 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6N1T4OhTy
shrug at that thought David went towards Francesca's room. Even if 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXgljTgMYK
Francesca did pretend to be all for equality and the like she still had 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPPHORYVsY
her personal quarters, such as they were, as well as an actual bed, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3AZIOHYjb
table, chairs. They were shoddy work at best, crafted quickly by some of587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrY2ykYuLD
the rebels, but they were more than anything any other rebel had. David587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cW7QJCasj
was impressed by how she had more and yet most still perceived her as 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIIcx4M3DM
the paragon of virtue.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaUWa9Ekvi
Her room, as per usual, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMfslrVD21
was guarded. But the guard waved him on with a smile. David saw it as a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaTbs2e5xZ
pointless precaution anyway, but what could you do. Francesca herself 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75mVNKifaH
was already seated, with a torch in the middle of the table, a pale 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cK2GfAxyV
imitation of a candle. One thing the rebels had a lot of were torches, 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcetpN2p1ic
to light up all caverns and pathways. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKRgS8JlTu
"Oh, David! Please sit" she gestured towards the second chair.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cQWf3onx6
David sat down with a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq9CkyLPIS
nod and smile. They weren't eating anything extravagant, just what the 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeakULnx51J
rest were. Dried meat, nuts, sometimes if they were lucky they could 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfliLA2IUN
even get rabbit or vegetable soup, but that more of a luxury nowadays. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPYhXm67qJ
This time it was some dried meat of unknown origin and some water found 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7YsvTOTI4
in a stream. Delicious.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCV4sMu1ul
"So pleasantries first or business first?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lUF7MZJnP
"I found that going straight to business can ruin a healthy appetite."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FgC3DprgM
Francesca nodded and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUHVuxclS
began to cut her meat with her wooden utensils. While David had similar 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qqkivRER
equipment he didn't really find much use of them and found it better to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvCAFr7o1A
eat with his own hands. Made it faster and when you're under cannon fire587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOAMH1HJ84
fast eating was paramount.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfe8vv0uzp
As expected David 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpRq9xGDQK
finished his portion first and ended up waiting for Francesca to finish 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkCWc4goO9
hers, which took another 5 or 10 minutes. The girl was certainly a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0IkvcTfws
deliberate eater.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAfdrxRqTC
"So on to business." She587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHtZG5VRKN
paused making sure David was ready, once he nodded she continued. "Tell587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLmDpjPVgs
me, do you know who actually hired your services?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyxQuhDQJ8
"No idea, captain was usually tight lipped about our clients. I just always assumed it was one of you guys."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXxxMCSA6r
"In a way. It's someone 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UL2G4iAP2
who's...interested in our cause. One of Gob's friends. He is able to get587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN4tcPTTUX
in and out of the isles without arousing too much suspicion."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDL9aQus3m
"Can't imagine you can tell me who it is?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR3aGhGX55
"It's not for me to tell sadly, Gob was adamant that it's best kept as secret." Francesca smiled apologetically "apologies"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iX8AEnqBw
David waved his hand in a playful manner. "No worries, I'm surprised you're telling me any of this in the first place."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXimApmzJx
"Well, there is a 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTjXxEHAEN
reason. Since the weapons we got previously are in the Empire's hands 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRcn56n9fZ
and we can't fight them for it." Putting it lightly the rebels never 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC2nyZptNm
really fought the empire in a straight on fight. Mostly raids and 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEiSkxUHfe
recruiting villagers with their possessions. Easy pickings. "Gob got in 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat5m6pO5eD
touch with his friend again and luckily we managed to set up a meeting 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijKrLKdU9I
in a few days the edge of a different isle.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ5FTas1FU
"We will also be moving 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16jK7iuvGf
our base" she continued, sadly. "I can't keep us here with the danger 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA0vjGX2Wl
increasing, so we will move slowly, to an isle we were based in before 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkkuNM7BGt
so some will know where to go."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoDKmhM0AJ
"That's good, why did 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXaG7ulL0X
you want to keep us here for this long anyway?" While he was annoyed at 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxakicUqkQz
hearing that question every time he went on patrols, he couldn't deny he587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI64jpJH9V
was interested in the answer.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVeHzhu4gQ
"It...It has to do with one of The Five. I can't reveal more in fear that it might interfere with your objective. "587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny58SaM8AN
David nodded, not a full587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ma5LJwlV
answer he wanted but to push might create a rift between them. Religion587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04FmbZaEUg
was pretty important to Francesca "Don't worry; you don't have to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoev20t3Du
reveal anything you don't want want to." He said in a soothing tone587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftYXciifcT
"Thank you." She said 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1NlxIrRpB
gratefully. "Where was I? Oh, yes. We'll have groups with specified 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU1WfofmSx
leaders going back to that previous isle, they'll lead them and we'll 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQG0KIIsLA
regroup at a specified point."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPBBJpco2
"How will you get 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kvdDFjSXP
everyone over to the next isle?" Isles were divided by cracks, and while587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2qVevIzRN
some you could jump over, others were so wide you could fit a full 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9KkDG3bAQ
city.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLwHRltm32
"We have small sky 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg26LJi14Zg
boats. Some of the groups will use it...Others...Others will need to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ZWhZjsWi
find their own way" she said in bitter tones. "I don't like that, we're 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqy9HWbCq2
abandoning my people. But Gob said it's too dangerous traveling in a big587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6tMI948ie
group."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGr7DFs7YX
"You're a good leader on your own. You should trust your own instincts." Ah finally! An opportunity to create that rift587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dR9y5JFFM
She gave him a sad smile587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67fsYikpVV
in response. "Thank you, but I do not a good head for tactics or 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmImhhF7QSe
military matters. I've had some education on it, but Gob is much better 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK39o0v6rb
at it." David still wasn't sure just what Gob did before the rebellion. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xS0Oro99O
Francesca stated that the past did not matter and as long as they were 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcfG378u1N
willing to fight for the rebellions ideals they would be allowed to keep587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMxVcv3SxZ
their past in the past.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib4AIW1S4K
"Now then, back to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstsCOgyl36
business." She said more cheerily. "Myself and Gob will be meeting that 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvAum7s2HT
person in a few days. We will have guards but I'd also like for you to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6K1tMr2qT
come. You're well-traveled and met many people; your advice would be 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLU3SxKR3F
valuable, especially since we'll only be bartering for them."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnA6XTgtF3
"You'll have it. I'm 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLykDRz8Q
more than happy to join you." While he wasn't looking forward to 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboswDs5yO6
sleeping with all the insects again, it might help his back to not sleep587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx2rZkpwVy
on a rock hard surface.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5XFmZjmx1
"Perfect! I'll let Gob know and convince him as well." She laughed sheepishly. "I didn't really confirm this with him you see."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuddPvE71qP
"Oh, the guy loves me. It'll be easy." Francesca smiled at that, she knew just how much Gob hated David.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytNRn9W0A3
A lull in the conversation and then a question David was dreading "Did you have any more visions? From the one who chose you?"587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyZ2BfFWCf
"Sadly no, I'm as 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hChEYc0X1
clueless as when I was born." This wasn't exactly true. He knew he had 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ512NCoMM2f
to find something, and suspected Francesca was after it as well he 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFp9LccBII
suspected it was on this isle. Francesca seemed to know more, but she 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Qk1pqMRm
wasn't willing to reveal it. She might hide it under lofty ideals, but 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGRfTBVMCo
she was concealing the truth from both David and the rebels.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9njHFK20X2
"Do not worry, I am 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpTIkYEO1d
su..." before she could continue their whole world rocked. As explosions587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9XA2kxHBY
rang from outside and rubble started falling all around them., hitting 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8qOwxCwY3
the table and dislodging the torch, casting ominous shadows on the walls587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg5pj7WdpI
"Wha..." before David could finish his thought a very worried Gob barged in. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIWii7CZw
"We're under attack, they found us."
