“I hate this part.”233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgUFfUHoHV
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNEBK6Yi4G
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTgoFkRxHt
“Rhim!”233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldIsPkSasS
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyn3eEXs8N
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqQLKzAzQ5
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIoFXgrud5
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3lb65lyaa
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkLogYHhdW
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKyKotjUi5
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVwcR0W2C9
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xfLeNkx7f
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCoIqKgt4e
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9UVLOuxFs
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqLCVh3gfd
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKCKCqKZV
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9V1REp8vN
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSgllxhkBA
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKANxOrEEt
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIELi6OT2Zj
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHpYM0clt4
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD26L1zPWh4
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmSDURqnVB
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdnYyFa8N
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBTsuLti8A
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr8KkfHTnB
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmOkk4xHqm
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRbuZ9dyqx
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8klKoxV2Hy
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaijXrl1DI
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjiFjQ8zRH
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqy8nSI0M7
“In three... two... one... Mark!”233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFTa57WtuZ
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uoc2ztiYA
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBoMH9Adso
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRF2NOu0WK
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mp0B8A1xk
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQIrBtZvQJ
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxtelTnLjg
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsosSnnWM7n
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHXDBWYBPq
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXzCQ8sdC0
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3kyF3Gvin
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZXsjXRqc5
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykiNDakq4p
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzzlP7Cgzu
more and then impact was finally made...233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQUUHreO8t
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTNHhWnWft
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzardks7KF
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndm63tubaX
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EWxsR22TS
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngMKWUY2TJ
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJYzQVWwsu
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznzw1SkD5E
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE4Fccd5YI
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMRckOCVbq
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxKeALdsXJ
