“I hate this part.”222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1CmjE4KEN
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqgY07gTCd
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbgYHvDTez
“Rhim!”222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCTauJO4u6
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy7WqpAgYZ
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbmmT9q3Wp
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcx76atD1u
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzBmYOY4mK
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtb5D8eu7m
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOntUAVAJh
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tLFaF5sXb
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvT6PAn1bG
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrXYftDacw
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhZ5xqg04O
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsdbO6s3jE
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu4uq0Nj5s
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThpKtxunKm
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWRmHcGFjH
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxnkGN8aMs
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk7AuHcMIl
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCloeNdafv7
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfFkJHZOCy
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jrhSVflDO
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUL9hEXMCQ
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtExHISKnKr
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbarQon7ig
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1cyNs6S7m
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWUmVERMAp
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwAyOU7kEM
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyJlBIfSMc
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPuOzpxTNc
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxhoDfdfLB
“In three... two... one... Mark!”222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Bj3xEBTh
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfMAIuFyIp
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGUlV6rbZO
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpokKRKh3qr
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG5WrSEyOZ
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ403H4BTW1c
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzfRojGbGS
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBqnYQXXpH
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cmFiIHE5R
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpKJQWLK3
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpv57nrIC5
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ0OPmGWKf
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG0Ohyg2xt
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX1v2RMT5D
more and then impact was finally made...222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTVCkel5o8
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJvV3uwcsu
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ37cr1OPEb
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iiSBFarYP
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvCszsjbJU
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedDGfR89j9
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA0eYpahN7
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw2j6d8XvL
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD73xyTPCh
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq34lNlEms
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0AviXEJVe
“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEDX0EutbK
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQvuPoVCTz
