“I hate this part.”224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUlFgjhwuz
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFXAnOYwk5
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O5A2hZ6Hq
“Rhim!”224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHqPATb69t
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMotXeyuQVw
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jg6OlCGbX
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E1gmuv7W8
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocleMNwyww
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLjUiTANqp
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuowg9P850q
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4iHrz1otZ
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy1YJ5TdVW
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlbM29lUQ3
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXL9MP13Sk
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIlP9TZZrN
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTeERvBwsa
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOajOXXtGj1
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N8EbXF2lJ
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkBW07eRtA
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTuqDHcgv4
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXqca8wdK
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveiXkLSqrS
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TjrxKgMQN
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEHJTZ0fMC
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5cDJk80HJ
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSeMV1Bwri
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XfqE9wZNi
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweUydHFFof
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOEjQWjalB
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72uUpxkbNi
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cVlYr81Tt
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxxBuDco1P
“In three... two... one... Mark!”224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnLbi8SRG4
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmbvTEjzFI
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfXyQ6qdRo
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7H44D0RTx
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA8IHSPGGx
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lwRAxnNCB
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsOTdzpF0D
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aH7HPpCGi
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KyHoRMNNz
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfpeCurrfM
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IRlBVEWu3
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSot5mGQupc
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx1CwPMSRi
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzipf7Pidzn
more and then impact was finally made...224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrQCjoOFuc
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSww2zJh8zP
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNysgMxXjP
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0juJJwrWF
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xDJAeSYlN
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBweoNkMj1
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe5nD9qL6i
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoSk8jCuRl
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA6jaNgZhd
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIpy7o4afG
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0pMPAcYV5
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgDaafuWbO
