It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way89Please respect copyright.PENANAZrWyMIIhga
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a89Please respect copyright.PENANAilhxlP9uEm
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft89Please respect copyright.PENANAgxteueVWyq
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not89Please respect copyright.PENANAVcTKQVZoSo
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way89Please respect copyright.PENANAjnLtW5Ozqy
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and89Please respect copyright.PENANAyK2beVuUGL
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be89Please respect copyright.PENANAhQIvDTxNS4
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern89Please respect copyright.PENANAAwz5AjC1br
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many89Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ7wsFYqmE
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many89Please respect copyright.PENANADo0LqL5QzK
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to89Please respect copyright.PENANAGKp9wzRj12
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,89Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ut89qEFH
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim89Please respect copyright.PENANAX50ph0e3Fi
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible89Please respect copyright.PENANAVJXFJhr7Zi
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have89Please respect copyright.PENANA8VkN5136Ep
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim89Please respect copyright.PENANAkNm4vWJx70
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few89Please respect copyright.PENANA92qeCwSu2M
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...89Please respect copyright.PENANAqfvg4h6cSV
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after89Please respect copyright.PENANASd4YydGLlA
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.89Please respect copyright.PENANA8rxUcBsb13
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the89Please respect copyright.PENANAZqIXNzIwyc
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.89Please respect copyright.PENANA7IElBqZYGa
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept89Please respect copyright.PENANA5aRiRfQk8r
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...89Please respect copyright.PENANAaPoR7L0yNV
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword89Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Sz1a0nnQ
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”89Please respect copyright.PENANAFNOvoXwFcc
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous89Please respect copyright.PENANA4DOzZhf3Lk
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on89Please respect copyright.PENANAJuNmQqQr67
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.89Please respect copyright.PENANAhjc6WE7sGI
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice89Please respect copyright.PENANAyxFEANfdDq
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept89Please respect copyright.PENANAzTIt4tnB0v
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...89Please respect copyright.PENANAeQPrfY1V9w
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,89Please respect copyright.PENANAMUfQC8mWml
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting89Please respect copyright.PENANALYQ4iYYY0f
patiently.89Please respect copyright.PENANABbUMr2p6t0
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”89Please respect copyright.PENANAx1LhNwMAww
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having89Please respect copyright.PENANAdJnDJ5lPWr
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”89Please respect copyright.PENANAfYU9e6HqUo
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking89Please respect copyright.PENANAHmGOryeVab
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”89Please respect copyright.PENANARsryI5VNpG
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving89Please respect copyright.PENANAmfNdgAdcBK
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”89Please respect copyright.PENANAYae9DhQ4dI
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time89Please respect copyright.PENANA0boywwDEw9
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain89Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Yvi8h4LT
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things89Please respect copyright.PENANAkq4FtJldQi
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”89Please respect copyright.PENANAJqNJqjGsxH
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the89Please respect copyright.PENANAjQuGukN8CH
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”89Please respect copyright.PENANAMX0nXliivE
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of89Please respect copyright.PENANAsvg5iCPh9C
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were89Please respect copyright.PENANAk6zvvlepMm
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for89Please respect copyright.PENANA54k9UPJ7wC
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty89Please respect copyright.PENANAqoMrCuEZle
weather and all.”89Please respect copyright.PENANAemG595dvN2
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file89Please respect copyright.PENANAmiujn4rb8Y
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we89Please respect copyright.PENANA2oJs3QU6o4
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.89Please respect copyright.PENANAANJF3eFnq2
Rhim, you go first.”89Please respect copyright.PENANALkPUs9iTcO
