“I hate this part.”224Please respect copyright.PENANAN9kGvzEH4M
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.224Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Pw7FIcON
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”224Please respect copyright.PENANA5gUvnoWYsS
“Rhim!”224Please respect copyright.PENANAts4MUt6MTl
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.224Please respect copyright.PENANARHou4qElVp
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a224Please respect copyright.PENANASPyQa6FMKB
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”224Please respect copyright.PENANAJDp7WNeCOy
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much224Please respect copyright.PENANA6CtGZutGtO
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick224Please respect copyright.PENANAhJc59avLYN
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...224Please respect copyright.PENANAw5GZMomP58
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry224Please respect copyright.PENANAdVPY89fjPC
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit224Please respect copyright.PENANAdo2QNLP6nj
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of224Please respect copyright.PENANAKx6IwOyAQ5
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five224Please respect copyright.PENANAs452dkcxYM
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now224Please respect copyright.PENANAQZUVb3LVPa
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even224Please respect copyright.PENANAfv9Oqldsqp
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any224Please respect copyright.PENANAqDwPTacyfQ
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the224Please respect copyright.PENANAyWi7aINZ0T
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.224Please respect copyright.PENANAj4IYzbzTup
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”224Please respect copyright.PENANAnEmIVWb7Vq
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their224Please respect copyright.PENANAdVjgEbmMK0
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared224Please respect copyright.PENANAmRjKYajLTk
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that224Please respect copyright.PENANADwTHcUqjcn
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned224Please respect copyright.PENANAW0UNWjWM2S
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to224Please respect copyright.PENANAviCcAjVuxx
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling224Please respect copyright.PENANAIGbeyHLr15
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself224Please respect copyright.PENANAU9ACpbENB0
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of224Please respect copyright.PENANAPydNSTo9HO
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the224Please respect copyright.PENANA0FbLqxJkkB
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go224Please respect copyright.PENANA9yR7WyBdsZ
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.224Please respect copyright.PENANAnz2ovTFR2x
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,224Please respect copyright.PENANADdbDmodd04
“In three... two... one... Mark!”224Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zv43XGS6i
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one224Please respect copyright.PENANApfW0osLoHQ
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance224Please respect copyright.PENANAiymXeBcnBa
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.224Please respect copyright.PENANAU0mjVMp3JK
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority224Please respect copyright.PENANAUTI5yBIPl3
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around224Please respect copyright.PENANAYSXgM6WTGm
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and224Please respect copyright.PENANAo3VnThpyIY
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.224Please respect copyright.PENANApQhVmP1S83
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their224Please respect copyright.PENANACfPqNA1Zz9
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach224Please respect copyright.PENANAmgPCs7qmJv
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows224Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q20X2Y8oW
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became224Please respect copyright.PENANAPqDIpcl4H2
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe224Please respect copyright.PENANAdaRjJRmP2N
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly224Please respect copyright.PENANAaWQmcF21um
more and then impact was finally made...224Please respect copyright.PENANASxVtwIAzqz
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than224Please respect copyright.PENANAH3V2jip8j5
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of224Please respect copyright.PENANA0bKoLsFAAX
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found224Please respect copyright.PENANA7g1N5bS1Ha
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.224Please respect copyright.PENANAxw3ChOOjha
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has224Please respect copyright.PENANAVlEo0KjWWS
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to224Please respect copyright.PENANAMKReJJSBUF
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any224Please respect copyright.PENANA60ShSV10ju
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this224Please respect copyright.PENANA5vkZSoLLR7
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of224Please respect copyright.PENANAravj6k2dKI
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
