“I hate this part.”165Please respect copyright.PENANAnTMsw7en8h
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.165Please respect copyright.PENANA93NpHLcqqW
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”165Please respect copyright.PENANAzAgxvICDNf
“Rhim!”165Please respect copyright.PENANAIBrqFeBJVK
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.165Please respect copyright.PENANAEuejxnroF2
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a165Please respect copyright.PENANAWbFROpK2ks
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”165Please respect copyright.PENANAzLB1HlgSdQ
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much165Please respect copyright.PENANANMq8J0RDdB
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick165Please respect copyright.PENANAvdSPWGy10G
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...165Please respect copyright.PENANATuMCEHGHCZ
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry165Please respect copyright.PENANAJrd5zF0FNY
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit165Please respect copyright.PENANAE1P2fkZhoi
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of165Please respect copyright.PENANAzlkMtkRWDk
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five165Please respect copyright.PENANArAMri3HmBk
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now165Please respect copyright.PENANAIEm5BecGDx
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even165Please respect copyright.PENANAKcFHEiDBtO
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any165Please respect copyright.PENANAyHXAvkYCfI
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the165Please respect copyright.PENANAFPqhgfDJN7
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.165Please respect copyright.PENANAkLbwPi9V3F
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”165Please respect copyright.PENANANz9YD3fFWe
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their165Please respect copyright.PENANAPmkKBBPU6q
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared165Please respect copyright.PENANAtLVMgJys1D
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that165Please respect copyright.PENANATomcyeh3Ok
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned165Please respect copyright.PENANArLvwkWcn1E
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to165Please respect copyright.PENANARBvknNOHNW
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling165Please respect copyright.PENANAIagK8KPuOC
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself165Please respect copyright.PENANA09SKt7rF6I
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of165Please respect copyright.PENANAWzmpsbeSg4
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the165Please respect copyright.PENANAYDtWLP2ChG
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go165Please respect copyright.PENANAC44YovXQv0
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.165Please respect copyright.PENANAH5yYJVCwnX
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,165Please respect copyright.PENANA01J0BS6779
“In three... two... one... Mark!”165Please respect copyright.PENANAIZu6E3GRH1
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one165Please respect copyright.PENANAGLsjTY0Aoy
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance165Please respect copyright.PENANAZxCUomQPj6
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.165Please respect copyright.PENANAHPDPkLmeua
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority165Please respect copyright.PENANAKW1lMLVsCu
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around165Please respect copyright.PENANAgt9w1hRR9r
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and165Please respect copyright.PENANAh41aNNCnf2
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.165Please respect copyright.PENANApUEDKelAUx
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their165Please respect copyright.PENANAc0yfdH9DFK
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach165Please respect copyright.PENANAUwIDSnEh7W
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows165Please respect copyright.PENANAbaKKQJCX6t
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became165Please respect copyright.PENANAXz66vAyY1s
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe165Please respect copyright.PENANAsf4P3E4mUt
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly165Please respect copyright.PENANAD0ATuMj8co
more and then impact was finally made...165Please respect copyright.PENANAsLJ9gySMQO
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than165Please respect copyright.PENANAakO4I6AYej
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of165Please respect copyright.PENANAKJoeQcAOVv
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found165Please respect copyright.PENANAMIrXhGBC8W
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.165Please respect copyright.PENANAG9FgMn07xS
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has165Please respect copyright.PENANAw3AkmrpBKC
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to165Please respect copyright.PENANAvn4EiSFdKs
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any165Please respect copyright.PENANAuevgz3ASI3
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this165Please respect copyright.PENANA2zEIP03jJI
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of165Please respect copyright.PENANAB39j9AfMpP
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
