“I hate this part.”141Please respect copyright.PENANAeRsIRm4aum
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.141Please respect copyright.PENANAD50wsSehqk
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”141Please respect copyright.PENANA43qSnO2vJy
“Rhim!”141Please respect copyright.PENANAo4oOKxB1vI
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.141Please respect copyright.PENANAPEO7bdaVJp
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a141Please respect copyright.PENANA11Xv9vd78D
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”141Please respect copyright.PENANAuS2ATjnBdN
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much141Please respect copyright.PENANAE6niBSDyn6
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick141Please respect copyright.PENANA9L3T884CVO
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...141Please respect copyright.PENANADgxuB4tPGQ
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry141Please respect copyright.PENANAi49IkhVZcQ
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit141Please respect copyright.PENANAXWIl6RaFWt
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of141Please respect copyright.PENANAhtf5e1v8Sz
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five141Please respect copyright.PENANA1KmmbPGXbG
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now141Please respect copyright.PENANAzDfUBWKJxA
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even141Please respect copyright.PENANA4GEyIPaS6c
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any141Please respect copyright.PENANADjC3xpgLCq
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the141Please respect copyright.PENANAgn9djxny7W
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.141Please respect copyright.PENANAoTp0PxNLcj
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”141Please respect copyright.PENANATpA5WNVMD9
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their141Please respect copyright.PENANAgjx9Qtp8SU
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared141Please respect copyright.PENANAE7bpbfcXZb
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that141Please respect copyright.PENANAigTyTh0Z6s
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned141Please respect copyright.PENANAINbBQHl3yY
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to141Please respect copyright.PENANAm4kA5R3D1I
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling141Please respect copyright.PENANAKqAISnDQLI
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself141Please respect copyright.PENANADh2fvPgePh
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of141Please respect copyright.PENANAs5HuoW9Ep5
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the141Please respect copyright.PENANAayPLfOFyXG
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go141Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ2qCZgNW9
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.141Please respect copyright.PENANA1CCcQepoJD
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,141Please respect copyright.PENANA7sE4UB3tWm
“In three... two... one... Mark!”141Please respect copyright.PENANA5lNaVW3giw
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one141Please respect copyright.PENANAylghtVSlwC
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance141Please respect copyright.PENANAi6V334rXuC
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.141Please respect copyright.PENANAGk8hdSWnyW
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority141Please respect copyright.PENANApkouI6gqku
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around141Please respect copyright.PENANAGqFkaV1ggg
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and141Please respect copyright.PENANAWARzV8v24v
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.141Please respect copyright.PENANAbWqu0LbsRA
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their141Please respect copyright.PENANAlODnare2aV
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach141Please respect copyright.PENANA4xQGpBh8sj
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows141Please respect copyright.PENANARLs90wKL73
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became141Please respect copyright.PENANARYHvAdlmnZ
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe141Please respect copyright.PENANA4loMdI1dSk
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly141Please respect copyright.PENANAklETB0uy8T
more and then impact was finally made...141Please respect copyright.PENANAhlKJEthFAX
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than141Please respect copyright.PENANAysCWws4BDS
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of141Please respect copyright.PENANA3vbUeliBOi
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found141Please respect copyright.PENANAvIbGv5gV7C
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.141Please respect copyright.PENANAGAFxFGux4Z
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has141Please respect copyright.PENANAg03E2VBbcN
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to141Please respect copyright.PENANAKDBwhIUNyy
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any141Please respect copyright.PENANAU5baSckQF3
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this141Please respect copyright.PENANAHYsgFzBktH
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of141Please respect copyright.PENANAw5HjDnkcjR
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
