It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosuWmprivO
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlglc4SZcW5
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqpZQWXumU
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7yTvzG7pj
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNeL85j8TV
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIVwDq2i21
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnPFGUMzIY
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvSqLJEHBV
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveV6PAlqk5
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuHzsnKdDK
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuItVWIoF9
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRlyXmFVYt
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS9ITPXeEd
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaSJ0Gh4i4
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHddRVNSIFl
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylzUVwyZU7
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Dfg4ax3p
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE6p6gc0EI
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqmxM9VBIK
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNffw5zgt2q
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUurbCThjn
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI42ExAoz0
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9nRx7j0oM
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Yfig835j
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz1ddHuz09
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4OekQmAaW
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKn1U5ISyr
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6iiEwAxV5
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREYtrrk4HI
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbg1Kmnqyc
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUZTvzV9NH
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLEG9KSF7G
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwiYE4mJQA
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf7GZUfuN2
patiently.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC89NaNJR5
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyntcFIKGO
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9uUcgXt1X
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtnWMNVNyc
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Lun7wzxL
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8G7Zz6XVV
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Yt3jVuRS
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtkNLjlhtV
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHBVD2W4Ul
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsmJrByNMk
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXztNM7ysU5
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtqpIxu6AY
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf0uKApXOE
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX3nOzxet2
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c13B5U8yg
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzo0ZRiCr6
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4HHVjm6qM
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jgPa1l4r
weather and all.”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh3Kj2efef
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm6AuzFyDP
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95tAiH54eW
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZXwUL7i51
Rhim, you go first.”283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmHpgyTiO
