It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way299Please respect copyright.PENANAgnvxqNYYwt
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a299Please respect copyright.PENANAizITUWosmz
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft299Please respect copyright.PENANAwsmrtk9uBw
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not299Please respect copyright.PENANAPrqSqUIcLc
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way299Please respect copyright.PENANA8YGJlBZwEh
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and299Please respect copyright.PENANAW9234Brfag
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be299Please respect copyright.PENANAw35Al846eN
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern299Please respect copyright.PENANAvZbvd9eYl3
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many299Please respect copyright.PENANAY7o0cLA63W
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many299Please respect copyright.PENANAMikEFEFubw
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to299Please respect copyright.PENANABnitDvCokn
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,299Please respect copyright.PENANAP89KgeNGHe
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim299Please respect copyright.PENANAlhbkYR717R
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible299Please respect copyright.PENANAsXluE1QzDD
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have299Please respect copyright.PENANAjB9RhR7mPt
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim299Please respect copyright.PENANAgRIcwLLncV
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few299Please respect copyright.PENANA4B7nbFHnkp
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...299Please respect copyright.PENANADrpsJy5I7L
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after299Please respect copyright.PENANA2dAMbs92pQ
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.299Please respect copyright.PENANAfELsaepJh7
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the299Please respect copyright.PENANA7kUiJS1YUx
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.299Please respect copyright.PENANAAjHHheNuGh
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept299Please respect copyright.PENANAEbYwncCS8G
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...299Please respect copyright.PENANAG6MJpvwAFo
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword299Please respect copyright.PENANAepEXdcIfpz
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”299Please respect copyright.PENANAiR0CbOqliJ
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous299Please respect copyright.PENANAPtxYBrUJYc
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on299Please respect copyright.PENANA7RjG9eMl6F
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.299Please respect copyright.PENANAsgvngpWzgW
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice299Please respect copyright.PENANAY5Qwa55Nyf
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept299Please respect copyright.PENANAYiX9pjE4Oc
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...299Please respect copyright.PENANAmfX2JxCbJs
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,299Please respect copyright.PENANAoIbjIuaFxA
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting299Please respect copyright.PENANABjf0YdksYM
patiently.299Please respect copyright.PENANAi4WAm3iv9O
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”299Please respect copyright.PENANACeJRChYd3w
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having299Please respect copyright.PENANAo7g5BjgB0M
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”299Please respect copyright.PENANA9y7eh84Jz0
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking299Please respect copyright.PENANAYM6MgUwiDV
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”299Please respect copyright.PENANAC5HLF0l4G3
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving299Please respect copyright.PENANAZciD9pNX4v
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”299Please respect copyright.PENANAlv644w4NCE
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time299Please respect copyright.PENANAZNGiKzSsUL
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain299Please respect copyright.PENANAmKY7jBtQeM
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things299Please respect copyright.PENANACK2TZgJAYU
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”299Please respect copyright.PENANASoi6Z3XKZU
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the299Please respect copyright.PENANAXXfbjgMfsR
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”299Please respect copyright.PENANAPVGsox3Ssj
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of299Please respect copyright.PENANArisldG2VUc
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were299Please respect copyright.PENANA4ovDCZV09d
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for299Please respect copyright.PENANABH58xsZS4K
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty299Please respect copyright.PENANAjYtVSy93D3
weather and all.”299Please respect copyright.PENANAGL1kQMwEnB
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file299Please respect copyright.PENANAW2YT4P0nJH
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we299Please respect copyright.PENANA1JghnJmESJ
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.299Please respect copyright.PENANAeAZ1I0LmYP
Rhim, you go first.”299Please respect copyright.PENANAToUuSXWJd3
