“I hate this part.”201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObZ9KIc5Ai
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOd9il2M3Z
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSWMoMMc2l
“Rhim!”201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNk4Rk2tUF
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnT2uUdSbf
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty0xcMgnYr
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRDlJjaeSL
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioYuNdnwiM
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KbnFGL09W
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWzfCDQdB5
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP01SoRRca
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnawoPbXmzZ
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mKR8g7KzX
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGJcEmctO2
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr82QznF7C
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79EoTAc4jP
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKiJoosY2e
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fn4buxngo
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPEQ9WBihI
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKEwd36W8K
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wMmKGwUPa
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBTQkXb9h1
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bi9szQ4YO
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHP1QHqaFD
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ86y0u3G3N
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp1HniYfPW
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhO8D8UO3z
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctxGAvfzuf
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbRdMgodIv
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimv8jvqjY7
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcvQl4vPhd
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqmipioSDr
“In three... two... one... Mark!”201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbJYyRvJf
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyXOZ5tZ5B
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftdiRIpVMC
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA0bXgqsvU
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTGGEZiesY
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GTRf2Lvxk
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYRVlKENZ
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELEwltiH30
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso8pV3SYB3
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ3nQVM0e4
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgQNylGV14
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmAHKifuWJ
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4EECalL0
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdONqMbUWoo
more and then impact was finally made...201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEBnY3kiLV
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL768jh3Hl1
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSFUOcWuRu
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B7PMj2qBG
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUJ0xq1CG
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZsr29JP2V
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzI25Eq9x
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbSsZTWzOI
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuicUFKpsTT
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPh32t03QX
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
