"Ugh" 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTQoqUHR3O
"Shh, he's coming to"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qn5FAEVz4
David slowly opened his 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0jTZmWnMu
eye but as he did so he was blinded by the sun, so doing the most 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M6zyk3VDx
logical thing a one eyed man could do, he went to cover his last eye 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANK3eUwd3M
last so that he'd become blind.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ghEjTMyWs
Sadly someone didn't 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAFw17gWec
like that idea all that much as David was kicked before he could 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYJhjT9IBI
properly move his arm and was pinched to the ground. "Don't move!" Came a714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DUbqXI1oT
gruff voice.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXwsyYBRVZ
David braved opening his714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNAShAaYW1
eye and was greeted by a black hole, looking beyond that he could see 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNWlJ9TqRM
the metallic shape that belonged to a musket and looking even beyond 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT1QYdpbvZ
that he could see a human shape, staring at him with unblinking, dark 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhJAOuGvF6
eyes. "Who might you be?" Came the gruff voice again. David wasn't able 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcX1sqIbqR
to discern whether the voice came from his friend with a gun there or 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs44NgxgYc
someone else. David could see his jaw move but not the mouth itself as 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jdO7PFPOr
it was covered too much with a beard.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPpYXVYNjq
"A friend, especially to714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pLe0VIh5z
those who hold guns to my head." David risked a smile, usually humor 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXzERgoESf
and a light attitude would get him out of most situation or at least 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe13Zkwmut
ease the tensions enough for David to get an in. People tend to 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLx1aIeucA
underestimate you, when they believe you're just a fool. Sadly this 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafWcpeyNhM
didn't seem to have worked with this particular type of character as the714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvL4SeUjwO
pressure on his arm increased.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJIRHEKRMJ
"Ow, ow. Shit!" David exclaimed. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS9CgXPCKk
"Now, again, who are you?" The voice came once more "I won't ask for a third time"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhPCscOly4
~you'll pay for this, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2rFRlDW4d
you overgrown idiot~ David closed his eye and tried to extinguish the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgLZtfp3E4
look of pure hatred. He couldn't do anything right now, but the moment 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QpYTlIANo
would come. Right now he had to look scared, but should he go for the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXQK1yHgny
truth aswell? ~After all truth is only something you say when you can 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMchs1Hfej
think of a good lie.~ Before he decided either way David would need to 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6cK5pMYNX
find out if he was dealing with empire soldiers, he didn't imagine they 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEEWcBF4oI
would look kindly upon a smuggler delivering weapons to their enemies. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnldGYdksb
David let his eye wander714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR9bYYnTff
a bit around his surroundings; he couldn't turn his sight far as the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTplyJpEx5
weapon was pointed right at his head. But he could get a better look at 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupwnOvNPeM
his assailant and his clothes, definitely not a uniform or anything a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv3cbHP2jZ
soldier would wear. Looked more like random pieces of clothing put 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpNo9YlMfR
together, definitely stitched and not very well looked after. Empire 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGNb2uMfUx
soldiers may have been arrogant pricks but they were disciplined 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q7BWsBjUu
arrogant pricks.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzIRzBeOKf
David heard the flint 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgEvOdItwK
being pushed back, apparently the man got tired of waiting and David 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpxy7IVwbl
started talking before his brains decorated the ground he was on. "I was714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhREGUrM7E
part of the crew trying to get weapons to the rebels round here. We 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoPeCJiqh0
were shot down and then...I don't know, I woke up here, must've fallen 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nxqAYipWE
out or something." David said trying to sound confused and scared at the714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5BM946UWM
same time. Which wasn't hard, he was very confused. He didn't know how 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OAH8o56Cs
he got here, he remembered his little episode with Jester but that just 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3fbkYqL1V
left him with more questions. David was also scared, last thing he 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrWF6589P
remembered before jester was falling out of the 'flying fish' and no 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNJOhXmJug
matter his luck he should've died from that fall, yet here he was.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnW5o3GobC
The pain in his arm 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil2ibQOQkO
eased off and David was about to breathe a sigh of relieve when the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr8CL10jP9
muzzle of the musket hit him straight in the nose, making his head spin 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRhb324OLI
and see stars in front of his eye. "I saw the corrupted ship falling. It714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHQExba8vO
wasn't anywhere close, so you're either lying or a mage to have 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzUPpkoBFQ
survived that fall."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfn3RiqFOZ
It took a second for 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM40xmhuOx
David to remember that the Imperials called their channelers, mages. An 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflIdxs54yM
old word for something that David didn't remember. Another thing David 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9LFD0Wcb
had to remember was that if they were rebels they most likely hated 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTX7i11tIa
mages. After all, as far as David thought, you'd need to be at rock 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB1x3cLVIQ
bottom with no chance of losing anything to go against a whole 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTg65Db2oS
government. And those who can't channel in the empire are people like 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylfnLfxLo4
that.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalP7ViZtL6
"I don't know how I got 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUreAYYKzkH
here. I just remember falling of the ship." Which was the truth, even if714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFWaF9zD1O
not the full truth. "I also ain't no cha...mage." David risked the full714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo0eUIr1v5
truth714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNOyjcplea
"I'm sure if he was a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuc4wMEHb2
mage he'd probably have killed us by now, summoned demons and the like, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT7HbVpLYx
wouldn't he Gob?" David tried turning his head towards the youngish 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpKBFF3drO
voice but had no luck. The man holding the musket grunted though, David 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ZB6nnjEW
guessed that was Gob.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwVj4cQgnn
"Not how mages work kid,714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSfgOnP3Mv
they'd need to gather their energy from the ether and they need a clear714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTvAbMUCC1
head for that and be upright. Otherwise they're inviting all kinds of 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM6PgT1Uoa
corruption and most mages I've met are mostly concerned with 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI9hRdElUp
self-preservation. And as long as I keep hitting him in the head." Gob 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Dl35ptA6
smashed the muzzle into Davids nose again to prove a point. "He won't 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0IX3BZtGD
have a clear head so we should be safe.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCVejjv9o1
David was having trouble714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aCMpxyMMQ
breathing through his nose, he felt like it was broken in a few places.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFUAk7XAUW
Thus he had to exhale through his mouth just to keep his calm. "You can714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB04z9xK0E
keep hitting me but you won't get any other answers, because it's the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs82LYjbuy
falling truth!" He exclaimed. David tried projecting both exhaustion and714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklSVqePtW2
fear into his voice. While he didn't really feel that scared he 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasiXuiO3Ay
definitely felt exhausted.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONuPf0jMqE
Gob stared into Davids 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHONPyDbcSr
eyes and seemingly made a decision, he rummaged in his pocket and threw 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw7JOQmlVe
some herbs to David, withdrawing the musket from his face but still 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELbktcLXZ1
holding it aimed. "Swallow some of them and maybe I'll stop" Gob said in714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rMXXkS5JY
a deadpan voice.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2d25G41cx
Sighting David sat up, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGBxs3A1es
his bones cracking and feeling sore. The blood finally flowing from his 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxOpkZF1Ap
nose onto his chin, David had to spit some of it out as it went inside 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3wOAVrEpH
his mouth. He looked at the herbs and was very tempted to ask what they 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tXyauI3Ny
were. But he was pretending to be scared and he didn't imagine asking 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhtMRh2HB4
would give him an answer, at least an answer that didn't consist of him 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtJjyFJu0D
getting kicked or hit by the weapon again.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Xu3tev8q
David took the herbs and714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpBIbCZOyZ
swallowed them without chewing. He didn't feel any different after 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInuGMxZFg9
taking them, Davids first thought was it was some sort of drugs but 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Ik9lLOc9
looks like he was wrong. Gob must've saw Davids confused look as he 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTCCBHTpNa
explained, not only for Davids benefit but for the others there as well.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHwxL04oor
"It's called blumeflor, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxf9ZKlC5N
blocks the mage from reaching out to the ether. Pretty rare, the council714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluJyEwhity
has tried to burn out all seeds. Of course there's always a way of 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTncczK2B2
getting a hold of something when you really want it." David could hear 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJneiyFK4M
some pride in that voice, which he could understand being a smuggler 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDh1Y2YAJg
himself.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIKhXGWXHP
"It's a good way of 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm3YvlAA6n
making mages useless for an hour or two, but a better way of finding out714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PxdzQNrba
if they're mages. It causes them immense pain apparently."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a6B9SMUBQ
David was going to ask 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JicvLZSBz
why didn't he just give it to him immediately but he kept his silence. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBikn4DakEO
He risked getting up and, for once, Gob didn't protest by hitting him 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUGghRofBj
with that musket, not that he lowered it either. This Gob was a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFrVfCZ3W
dangerous man, he knew a lot about ether channeling, definitely more 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtzb0ClWDw
than someone who heard about it in whispers and rumors, he had a flower 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPLSk7d3Nf
that disabled channeling, a flower which David hadn't ever heard off, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMesfhfKfi
and the man most certainly knew how to handle the musket judging by his 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MxNgwGqSB
stance. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve0rGxM3AE
Gob was also very persistent. "Since you're not a mage, you're a liar then. Now why should I waste my time on a liar?"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1HCQ1Jd6G
"Why would I lie about 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRX9ybH0Ne
being on that ship? Everyone could see it burning down in the sky!" Gob 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeDzyUJZ3g
looked like he was considering that so David pushed his advantage." I'm 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPnq8Rr6WG
as confused as you and scared to boot. I was on my ship and then I'm 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxaJQrmFPH
here alive while my crew mates might all be dead!" David had to win 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSh4fO5IJH
their trust, showing that he cared for the crew he spent time with was a714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb8sl868EY
good way to do it.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRt8AfynJL
"Oh and you have proof? The fact that you served on that ship?" 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKuH1vhY6m
"The only things I have is what you can see, so no."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy9EPpRZ2t
"So you are a liar."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbPbpC7YRd
"Bring me to the ship! 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjYFa0sADZ
You saw where it fell down and if there's anything still left of it I'll714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITko7vUB9u
be able to show you where the weapons are. I'm guessing we were 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxEwHKkNAC
supposed to deliver them to you anyway"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB8PxhuVqu
Some of the feet 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxq2k0deNF
shuffled as if embarrassed to have been found out but Gob wasn't 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp3qmEK12F
relenting. "Even if by some miracle the ship did survive, the soldiers 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7hJJ1qhWV
would have gotten to the ship first. They were right on its tail."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUqlno4x7P
"The weapons were in a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPYjIxySKM
special hold! Only officers knew where it is, if any part of the ship 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLfT3RlzEA
survived that hold definitely did. Plus would the soldiers really care 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WeOkVNris
after shooting it down or would they just leave it and go back to more 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegzzlFqqU8
important duties?"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMKj7o82i6
Gob shook his head. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiysW3Zrr2J
"They would, but..." He seemed to be deep in thought and David begun to 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eDwXi8n7i
hope. "We need the weapons, if there's a chance they're still there I'm 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhcTB66nR9
willing to take it." Gob said nodding. "There's one thing to decide 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMpwNJWa4o
though. Denis!" The young man whose spoke up for David basically jumped 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWbjrrE7cO
up. "Y..yes Gob?"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM7dJESVpk
"Don't call me Gob, I'm 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpa0ghHEnj
not as lenient as Francesca." He answered chidingly. "Grab the rope and 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCZNa5gdQL
tie our friend here and then join us." 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs7uZg4CJY
"Yes, sir!" The young 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvS41iZAAc
man, Denis basically jumped into action grabbing the rope and running 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK681gRQHl
towards David. Giving a glance that basically said: 'sorry about this.'714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPCJ4an4wu
David smiled, atleast 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6JwsUqz9U
someone who should be easy to manipulate. "Don't worry about it, better 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVIdGFCl7t
safe than sorry, right?" David said easy going and not resisting. Denis 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vCEoFgm3t
seemed to appreciate that as he put the rope around David and a nearby 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJEuUWQakD
tree in the most loosest of knots. "Sorry about that" Denis said as he 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOnvH4jI94
finished tying it. "Gob just likes to be precise."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKW4cnlCrh
David nodded as if 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ493xjq5pD6
understanding. "Yeah, like I said better be safe than sorry. He seems to714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhLO57YleB
know what he's talking about." The young lad seemed to look up to the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3H2495WI2
big man, so David wasn't going to be antagonistic towards Gob, a few 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD9H7ez7l7
chosen words would make Denis trust him. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrGPPnBPV1
"Yeah, he really does!" Denis answered eagerly, his eyes bright. "He was in the military before, I heard he served with..." 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7A8EedDF6
"Denis!" Gobs voice 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaqD2huna1
could be heard before Denis got to finish his thought." I told you to 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdljEUMIx25
tie him not to murder him with your voice, come here!" Denis offered a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuPDP5QR3S
farewell nod to David and ran off to join the rest of his group sitting 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEq34g7kHA
in a circle.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtBur9pDBx
David could easily untie714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7dzD4ckSW
himself but where would he run? The isle was probably surrounded by the714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQbUbUmFDg
military and he didn't know anyone from around here. Plus he was pretty714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclEYAKrpuJ
sure he'd get shot before he'd be able to get far anyway. No as far as 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNJo7Acba4
he could see the best thing would be to bide time.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4izjxfpP1O
David must've dozed off 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEmlvwgLKC
as didn't know how much time has passed before the group dispersed, with714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwv79upkSZ
Gob making a beeline towards him. David gave him a smile, the most 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OA7SngS1M
disarming one he could muster. "Like I said we're going to go for the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDSjQtT3bW
weapons, the question's, again, is why do we need you? Even if you're 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYbrLvLa6Y
not a liar at best you're a liability. And if the weapons are in a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX71kTj5bJM
hidden hold, I don't imagine a lot of the ship survived to make much of a714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3bA29Xrf3
difference, we'll be able to find them."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1OkwogQ8w
"I thought you people rebelled for a cause, if you just murder me aren't you proving you're nothing more than common brigands?"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nzKGJaG1
"Who'd know?"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwnZxb5YSH
"You" David said that as714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMsKbx9Cr8
he looked into gobs eyes. If he was a military man he was either a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhGL7oreH
deserter or someone who rebelled for a reason. And David didn't imagine 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbiRwd6a3U
deserters would be quick to go back into the thick of battle if they had714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50vEbhUmL1
a choice so David took a gamble.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9exOt93tnG
It seemed to be paying 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhIOAb3KsD
off as the answer made Gob pause. He looked at his compatriots and shook714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEeUJATWyn
his head. "I don't mind if you end up dead, but...remember this: one 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YAdu78Huw
wrong move and you're dead."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLR8digdf4
David nodded, not liking the look in Gobs eyes. "I get it, you're trying to look after them but I'm not your enemy."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSifs2Svqa
Gob grunted at that. "No714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNFjXToHIk
way to answer that right now, is it?" He untied David from the tree but714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3gn3loLMB
tied his hands together so tight that David could feel the blood 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOkpsfB0Z3
draining from his hands. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ6yMkSARG
"I'll be able to walk 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgimHXNbO6
faster with my hands untied, and no one leading me." David nodded 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp8eGHSAKR
towards the rope in Gobs hand. Which he so kindly pulled and almost 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKJDnR9qJ4
caused David to lose his balance. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqXjYFNoCd
"The walk should only 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhNFQqdrRl
take half a day, you'll be fine. Who knows if you don't make any sudden 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFnuxQ0Iks
moves I might be nice and let you stay with us instead of letting you go714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI7QbMpS8Z
into the wild." David shuddered at that, Looking around he could only 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAtl4eSmUU
see a thick forest around them. He never spent a lot of time in nature 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs616EANKC0
preferring cities, plus, judging by the look in Gobs eyes, David 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHm3BQS8DH
imagined that if he did make any sudden moves he wouldn't really get 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hFiAssmeQ
time to get used to surviving in the wilderness.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQqekZQNTB
To Gobs credit he wasn't714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSCV0Xhf0l
lying, the walk did take about half a day. During the walk David 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S7rW7x1tw
managed to glean the names of the rest of the rebels while being led by 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOlVhV9Vq
Gob, not that the man didn't try to silence them and have them keep an 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUubE1ktov
eye out on the trees. The problem was that, except for Gob himself, the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eyN2CpstG
rest of his group seemed to consist of teenagers.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7n86x2A58
First there was Denis, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYI3YH03Zo
the wide eyed youth who seemed to be very eager, but not much else. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M5Njbrp6S
Angela, who seemed to be the big sister of the group and second in 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZQBTHHYYu
command. She wasn't much of a leader but she really cared for the well 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2B4yxG4Ga
being making sure no one was hungry or cold. Then there was Rock, true 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aqseUUtlz
to his namesake the youth didn't talk much. But he was sturdy, even if 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDxnACKqKV
not in character definitely in stature. Finally there was Tick, a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadCOsAtrFd
nervous young buy. Seemed even younger, and twitchier, than the rest. He714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsOubtHAE5
jumped at every noise and Angela was checking up on him the most. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwISIRdCk3X
All in all a group of 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDhCliHGq0
people that David shouldn't have problems either conning or murdering, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp42z0VbfGj
or at least if Gob wasn't there. If he could get rid of him earning 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QvdcrF8Qi
their trust would become tenfold easier. The problem is he could not see714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJhoYRfJvt
a way of getting rid of Gob. The group may have been ragtag and could 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsFnF47UTa
barely hold their guns properly, but they've had complete faith in Gob 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfMWNiTK5I
and his orders, to be fair to Gob he definitely seemed to know his 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeERciaunXf
stuff. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1hzk1vREG
Sadly except the names 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR8PE9UJjk
David didn't manage to get any other useful information, from listening,714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU55GgS7z4f
as Gob kept most of the talking to a minimum, but their actions and 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ5rJvAQKp
mannerisms told him a lot about them as well, David was always good at 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzMPNPMcoz
reading people. He found it quite a useful skill to train since his 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUDfAXenaF
childhood. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYrtHZ5bgB
David also paid 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUTS84kmnJ
attention to where they were going. A tree seemed as much as any other 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNbhRBDvDi
one for him but he tried to memorize any landmarks just in case. A 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjc7fTUE2n
distinct scar on one tree, a nest of ants on a hill, anything that could714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppQPQAqHrl
help him in case he needed to make a speedy escape.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkMAZvwcWY
The closer they got the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP8X1B1Qa5
more David could see various signs of the fallen wreckage. A metal plate714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCqjJL99wV
here and there, a propeller hanging from the branches of a tree, an 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcaNHaIGG4
eyeball as well as some splatter of blood, the rest of the body probably714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnvNIwvNG8
scavenged by an animal. David avoided looking at the remains, from both714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o7g6ZcZPQ
the ship and his, former crewmates. He wasn't Squeamish around blood 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5S3YLu5u5
and he wasn't afraid he'd see one of his friends but whenever he looked 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnTJzrEW2L
it made him think that he was supposed to be there as well. That though 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0y6d1tA6
made David shudder and turned his smile into more of a frown.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQRKvj1nE
They were able to hear 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jtRSJ3eZR
the ship before they could see it. Not the flying fish that was burning 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f5Hhg1Jom
down and lying in ruins but the empire ship. David knew from experience 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LiEOkIfhZ
that the newer ships did not make as much noise but the imperial ones, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8PAXXfeMR
with their outdated void-engines made a huge racket.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCGWwBlYzO
"Get down, behind the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgsLiXt0d2
trees!" Came a hushed order from Gob as David felt his rope tugged and 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchBfAhGXKO
he fell to the ground with a grunt. David was sure Gob was just enjoying714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpp75WuQYO
inflicting the pain at this point. Not like the soldiers were close and714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEiqykOLmW
no matter how ill prepared the rebels were their uniforms meshed quite 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscL6hexsbE
nicely with the surroundings.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAempGep9Sv
With a groan David 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDdbMkZVQc
looked up, and saw Gob taking out a telescope out of his coat to look at714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM30sNvQpJ
the soldiers. "Camps, they're planning on camping here" he said with a 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeYuHJEkoQ
grunt. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyKw2wiZaK
They all had to cover 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab0rFpyT2O
their ears in the next moment as the imperial ship took flight, gaining 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisSZrpp1tE
aptitude first and then flying above David and his newfound friends. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBE2ABpHKm
Luckily the ship was quite high so it didn't disturb the trees around 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU72RJnWRU5
them.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm7PBnVsgT
With a tug of the rope 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GheIFjKuG
Gob called David over to his vintage point. Slowly David crawled up to 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Q8tPmlJk
Gob and clumsily held the telescope to his working eye. He could see the714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnkJTyX0u6
'Flying fish' his home for the past few years or at least what was left714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakynt1b1s3
of it. David could also see the beginning of the encampment with tents 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrijWlICj4
being set up as well as some markings to establish a perimeter.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM1ovQU4Yo
"So, where's this hold?"714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShoAULnssk
Gob asked, still glaring at the soldiers as if he could see all the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpmB6OtzVL
details without the telescope. Without a trace of hesitancy David 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIjcNmmQLw
pointed his finger to around the middle of the ship.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46MXvZNMJi
"It's there and looks 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWBwiSiW7S
like it's still mostly intact." Score one for David. "Why do you think 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPf2PHu4u
they're setting up around the ship?" He asked Gob714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSFsIB2eoU
"Corruption knows. They 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGGrBwn4hk
might've found the weapons, and guessed they're for us, so now they're 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ01kogFd0
waiting and doing a poor job of setting up an ambush. Or maybe they're 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW9aZe2tFa
just guarding the ship till more reinforcements can come?" Gob answered 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX11zcNVCr
looking sideways at David." I don't really care why. Now give it back" 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9MKvPNC43
he said holding out his hand for the telescope.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tjCKLbnnt
David made a move to 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgvZxLflRH
hand the telescope back but something caught his attention, a soldier, 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tBAWAaAqV
David wasn't sure why but something in his mind pulled him towards that 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbh0SJEAjL
person. Ignoring Gobs growl David kept looking through the telescope at 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkDZTjF2DD
the soldier as he spoke to someone else and pointed a finger, right at 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc9kOllTAk
them. "I think we're in trouble."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPmLfWo1oJ
Gob pulled the telescope714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTz3QrjeTl
away from David with force and took a look and saw the same soldier 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT3QDIYxQJ
pointing and a group of others heading towards their location. "Nothing 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM89KekzTc
we can do here anyway, we'll head back now." Gob said more for the 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOtgnwl1xw
benefit of his troops rather than Davids. He pulled David up with that 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgSINOowYL
rope, this time he was ready for it and didn't lose his balance while 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpLtgOyv2v
standing up. What David wasn't ready for though was Gob pulling him 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FFq3EfAC5
close. "I still don't trust you." He whispered in a deadly tone. "I'm 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJBSmjlCF
not sure if you had anything to do with the soldiers seeing us or not 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyaz6UOcZi
but I'm willing to bet you did." He gave a big sight. "Even so, you're 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOChOY0WUY
right. We're above leaving strangers to die, and she'd never forgive me 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ADlTTWFZ
for leaving you to the imperials. At least without a good flying 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE71xZMLCPC
reason." He added the last part in a grumble714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEgdqPaU30
Gob pulled away from 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9rojuieq3
David, pulling the rope to nudging David to follow him and continued 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcGQxJuXMM
speaking in a rather fake cheery tone "So you're in luck, we're bringing714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDWniRdcw6
you to our home. So if you shit in it, I'll be more than happy to drown714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpE4A5ZX1k
you in your own shit" 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAvX7ZbtAs
"Now form up and let's 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsK5SouYyS
go!" He barked, to the rest of the group as they proceeded further into 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap5dDEjubb
the forest and away from the soldiers. Hopefully somewhere safe and with714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMOqP324q
a roof above, as David felt that he'd had his fill of the outside for a714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpEqlVQcmj
long while.
