“I hate this part.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAGysYyLfc8Z
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.125Please respect copyright.PENANAotMwD0Eae6
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”125Please respect copyright.PENANA9zOFe5MkSX
“Rhim!”125Please respect copyright.PENANAUiZ44KhWL5
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.125Please respect copyright.PENANAgdwrF0XF48
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a125Please respect copyright.PENANA34maLWziMj
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAvvd2W3OMWL
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much125Please respect copyright.PENANAyV7wFG68gv
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick125Please respect copyright.PENANABQ1Lzs1z8c
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...125Please respect copyright.PENANAmFACKuKFc4
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry125Please respect copyright.PENANANh0AXsHXWh
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit125Please respect copyright.PENANAz8Kfs8rPw2
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of125Please respect copyright.PENANAuYtkNAF1FQ
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five125Please respect copyright.PENANAunSyKBG2X1
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now125Please respect copyright.PENANAhnR8bVfeNX
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even125Please respect copyright.PENANAjYh9DmGkpn
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any125Please respect copyright.PENANAs9GQpQVXow
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the125Please respect copyright.PENANAlKgrNSNF1f
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.125Please respect copyright.PENANAXcMfGxItOq
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”125Please respect copyright.PENANALdJwfgJGVn
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their125Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ3AQankgB
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared125Please respect copyright.PENANALi6KeHrtbe
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that125Please respect copyright.PENANAehiv6VkTIm
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned125Please respect copyright.PENANATG7fucrlJL
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to125Please respect copyright.PENANAQDQHs522u5
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling125Please respect copyright.PENANAgQAJYRerDm
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself125Please respect copyright.PENANAyMmImEI0Md
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of125Please respect copyright.PENANAZLyD7EddP1
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the125Please respect copyright.PENANAlqiDSOpB9N
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go125Please respect copyright.PENANAuhhKtsdsvC
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.125Please respect copyright.PENANA57txUDJOMs
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,125Please respect copyright.PENANA8rxd7DUJ9X
“In three... two... one... Mark!”125Please respect copyright.PENANACgISgxqt9A
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one125Please respect copyright.PENANAN3b6Kc5XJL
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance125Please respect copyright.PENANAPDRuMLiX8L
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.125Please respect copyright.PENANAMDAqAmeKU0
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority125Please respect copyright.PENANA3RthZPhdVo
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around125Please respect copyright.PENANAOTsKPAklOI
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and125Please respect copyright.PENANACPqgkJ07fT
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.125Please respect copyright.PENANAndRFSm5xP7
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their125Please respect copyright.PENANAwuNrtLbnOa
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach125Please respect copyright.PENANAJpQZaY5Tdg
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows125Please respect copyright.PENANAAmFm4c4epj
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became125Please respect copyright.PENANAyQEKJV6lpl
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe125Please respect copyright.PENANAH6rjw3xvAI
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly125Please respect copyright.PENANAkOiQg98Vj9
more and then impact was finally made...125Please respect copyright.PENANAh24OXYpQ27
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than125Please respect copyright.PENANAkljyDqRzUW
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of125Please respect copyright.PENANA4jzsmofVsZ
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found125Please respect copyright.PENANAQE3j9bhJzF
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.125Please respect copyright.PENANARqHqYezdB8
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has125Please respect copyright.PENANArT1hV2R5en
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to125Please respect copyright.PENANAzPCScEy3ou
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any125Please respect copyright.PENANAk79Z3DsBLB
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this125Please respect copyright.PENANAEEtp2xOGkE
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of125Please respect copyright.PENANATJkTl1Tg1f
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
