“I hate this part.”383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgGik7v3OB
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTBYfRpUKO
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NVOZh1xLN
“Rhim!”383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp9hZp7thk
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrP7lnJJMB
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtOykTPvd3
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFliCwL64bq
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA2Im8IBRa
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zHyxS3QE9
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqHHh12VcL
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFbKSOP0zo
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF8K6tMj2e
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE2MxIReJP
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDLfebyxEo
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmufbGNrd6
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc80lQyuYE
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9km3w9U5t
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDrRubuXPD
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboEIQQD8r5
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90gap28jav
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZNY6IqXa5
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2tTIhq0im
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxRAlrrg1s
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1xdzf2Zrq
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg61xh3WvB
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTsY8o5hm1
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLlIBjwBE7
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdL69CydZe
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w3t9pYTtV
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYTpdqXEUI
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG0oBfGCS4
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQSYjIrQFF
“In three... two... one... Mark!”383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1mAZFRDZh
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoYc2XGRiS
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKUixHERVf
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHk0tkZFMF
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0OjG4jvQB
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAolCtBDKb
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1kzHbwqiX
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBv4W3IU9O
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMXWUSr4aD
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPb7I2SCFU
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy3EgHDuq5
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEHF2SoWsS
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT9t7OwOdn
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68K5upzPZv
more and then impact was finally made...383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m6uLpDwr4
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiWfQl2FAR
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn1CXdopoY
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVOOtpTgvx
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop8Q3PZyvs
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkFFNeLrnv
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY0vzClSqE
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPfCaIxCI8
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX75rtPRVhx
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhebpWHkBWy
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3aYbN8JT
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99bZPL91UL
