“I hate this part.”126Please respect copyright.PENANAoFa8WzBaDW
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.126Please respect copyright.PENANArOyDLVAvmW
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”126Please respect copyright.PENANAWuI3FA54Ya
“Rhim!”126Please respect copyright.PENANAAnFCb6Wvvw
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.126Please respect copyright.PENANANhQwii8GL4
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a126Please respect copyright.PENANAPdj0U5Tz5A
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”126Please respect copyright.PENANAmRCSw1vftT
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much126Please respect copyright.PENANAqEs4MIbg6l
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick126Please respect copyright.PENANAMXULgLjVNF
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...126Please respect copyright.PENANAYioDaZBfOP
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry126Please respect copyright.PENANAcCWOGt2AX7
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit126Please respect copyright.PENANAmYWUWd0PUW
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of126Please respect copyright.PENANAheWwbVSIeC
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five126Please respect copyright.PENANAq515siikDj
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now126Please respect copyright.PENANAvPKICpj6Xx
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even126Please respect copyright.PENANACx5p0bbeyg
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any126Please respect copyright.PENANAaYLaZWtL5e
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the126Please respect copyright.PENANAjCsFnUJq2W
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.126Please respect copyright.PENANA5kZb0vcSx9
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”126Please respect copyright.PENANAG2Ro5f3N3X
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their126Please respect copyright.PENANACflcXAUjF6
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared126Please respect copyright.PENANAoa4aJ03nyx
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that126Please respect copyright.PENANApKKFY5zOWH
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned126Please respect copyright.PENANAUO7hyoy6js
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to126Please respect copyright.PENANAbfMLpjVv7s
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling126Please respect copyright.PENANA88T321n1I0
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself126Please respect copyright.PENANAYTEyjNc4Y4
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of126Please respect copyright.PENANAovKaWkMuBf
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the126Please respect copyright.PENANAR16XQXLIzN
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go126Please respect copyright.PENANAVHFUIk5w2C
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.126Please respect copyright.PENANA5iHT21k22Z
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,126Please respect copyright.PENANAakSachHvTw
“In three... two... one... Mark!”126Please respect copyright.PENANA2qOhfyein9
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one126Please respect copyright.PENANAvcRRGxnT1M
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance126Please respect copyright.PENANALWD94fDIN2
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.126Please respect copyright.PENANAWf1WqH5kjC
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority126Please respect copyright.PENANAsEKtzxZy65
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around126Please respect copyright.PENANAbFNcnjdJ8L
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and126Please respect copyright.PENANAAaCUTOmA0s
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.126Please respect copyright.PENANAEeafsaZtQa
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their126Please respect copyright.PENANAv8kLrjrjun
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach126Please respect copyright.PENANAPgFbPtmvER
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows126Please respect copyright.PENANAgBClgGtzIR
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became126Please respect copyright.PENANAzFbMgn4Z3O
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe126Please respect copyright.PENANAJz5qwTqqd6
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly126Please respect copyright.PENANA4VzdZPuiCQ
more and then impact was finally made...126Please respect copyright.PENANAmx67ldLe8Z
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than126Please respect copyright.PENANAFO4eSEzETh
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of126Please respect copyright.PENANAmjHHab2HdE
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found126Please respect copyright.PENANA2ru3V3vspp
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.126Please respect copyright.PENANA9C2xfSeua9
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has126Please respect copyright.PENANAEVaRahkr4c
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to126Please respect copyright.PENANA9mnYIAHatp
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any126Please respect copyright.PENANAnR3DEZq61Y
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this126Please respect copyright.PENANA2zanQq7inJ
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of126Please respect copyright.PENANAEI5eBCcnkK
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”126Please respect copyright.PENANAApkzwsgrwE
