It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKmljdgFZg
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bec0XAoYb
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPXeHCT1b8
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmnT433N7U
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwucgSipHsp
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNkI4tNwAk
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajw9bir0Z6
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTDwrH7Bpr
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHienDR8Bq
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB5aiusrfb
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sUepITlrR
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa5Jamwxne
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO8myWqqeD
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjaxOyPJ0c
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQIajsWS4G
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpQYDQNI0r
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqxidLqaNg
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UHyUDcxBn
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIEDcYn1V1
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKmFGSsD7C
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZTku5nc9Z
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRMN2zNAJp
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBdLZAVYaP
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE83Y9K0gz
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVspBWIdIE
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqetZNOau9
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILua5G9xAf
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDc3KJh3o6
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkdKZiiays
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh4KlFgXpR
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o55LMgqaK
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUs2zOL680
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqc1ewCSyz
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8jC7RlNPM
patiently.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90lr9WeFsG
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF1pVTczuI
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJk1HVzLBU
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRGbuQSB7C
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Al27K0bA
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnIoVWTqqj
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4atXp2nBft
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOUlfDiBI3
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArnglo5Qxr
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjCWre7HNI
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vq5yN6Ts2
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gf1uRL7z5
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RJxdK82M7
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynfFa1qtiD
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV8j5TpmQu
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnAV4D0xQD
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nuzcx29Xz
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKzlyExKvP
weather and all.”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi5Nc6ny8I
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5xt1NVtvz
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4wZgWrTnS
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjeV3QW6DH
Rhim, you go first.”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvUgNdxbzN
