It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D3CdWcsfj
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIjRNd9wj
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJ2RGVh8K
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkHiiNQTVH
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVWJemHkUR
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKQUn1z5zL
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKw8KNvPV1
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uAIeBHutI
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdpjr7gc3z
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkABzW04jsn
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH8mr8WuEB
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwulQvr1QP2
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08llo4jzyq
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwG6UgxGhj
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllRLU8IegU
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbOX1kuer0
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaIqS1jtCu
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTyVTjlz5c
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqJoAG141E
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwySvpfiYdP
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9YinPSa2A
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCKQGByxFp
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr0ZoOZUFl
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaDhQs3bTc
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDEUKJK6tN
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwojtn0ovc
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIlgYdWcon
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6hQ7sTDZ4
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9hsBSQbUU
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DMQJKQq5C
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7VCeknZw6
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyQROZE8rZ
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgL4vK70TO
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJKD1QCPhF
patiently.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7w70P9hB4
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgLkQFaOsu
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx41F0gOBA7
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk1RF3RxVQ
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N02jjPjyE
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhzJoxzvPv
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuaQf0ZszU
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutttXFcV3N
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j1IDI9Cfv
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmOyhvp3Nv
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFefWjdHGFe
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT55v3egtO
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepLpfCEG0w
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHH4Ec3pSD
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6mrVPGkR4
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hh9tKRyHs
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgHR57twVI
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTBYXpvfYl
weather and all.”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeriT5xsyuL
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2MAniH05l
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosGpzaeK8p
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZgdwj5YFp
Rhim, you go first.”182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mfdF3ZZI5
