“I hate this part.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYEHoRgveP
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHTU39ia1
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnlYBIvg8g
“Rhim!”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP3FBcIiBR
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5JLe7VTGv
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAW5ov8AVC
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8urxWLLzYu
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNTDHrqS4v
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyC9jdRnOr
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaONPyrkBKR
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNryMsMzoi
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhwDDLXIdi
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADbIFuXUor
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4J6SQtSIi
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aTheVLCKg
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQX9t09nti
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisrWDPqsL5
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq64Rt5pJkm
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELu2JZyEQO
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kjc6eANei
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XaGnQqCp
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEctE4BPwn
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKO5cLjPeu
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dlHDY7APR
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtgzgMDQbF
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI7FHSjjUe
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjGyg6D4hf
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmfenFl9sh
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ip6PCW31
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO3chUjM3z
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyoQUN0KtA
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfFXmB5upk
“In three... two... one... Mark!”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nUCdXjTX8
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IZyluivLb
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSa5c3X1li
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpLqY3uikn
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2C78EBnHU
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh6M8VaAxV
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLACq2eQ7d
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0bbqmnpEB
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxCgU3WFyh
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MsiFaSvtd
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW662fVrLi
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuRCbODdZ6
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ItSQXqQz
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxVi4iZ7vA
more and then impact was finally made...243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYXzpDwDoF
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRtetOO4vK
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO3lTE6tV1
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mF8XGvpC7
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1RDWq9QxH
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33jhOAa9EX
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2X7dZXtur
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBJuyVNhvN
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8cvsSmyp5
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoa2NGqVGC
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcCnuGAAzn
“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bGkcz8VN4
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzPj9lFhRq
