“I hate this part.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ttj8eynC
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRScE8uMzh3
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMqaWbbmrk
“Rhim!”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArrZyvowsc
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8SAclbJJP
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlrORXa0pJ
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKmg7G4Ddc
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKIOTdKwQH
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zqzMwCQ5i
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfDbaKHtJJ
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJefGusxrA
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkNzmQ3gf2
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsiJ1DszeR
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjB9jBLUH
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWwIaeFWKF
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUpCkwDQZH
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo1hhzYeO2
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3pM6hMsYf
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09b1EYykUw
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoaNj9zi0N
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ7KapuXNR
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUrhLltcuy
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5H3SgWyJQ
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzzcS9sF3i
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjWnWB6OND
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4OmrMocXP
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjJH4kqBU
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlyykLouOf
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvrN7meJin
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0qFBtbnSc
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e4Mi82Qe0
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV2hho4pHC
“In three... two... one... Mark!”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCn9hXFzdd
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclQnpzfUXW
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzIgoI9sRB
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH09cUOE5n
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ajfvi2rIt
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciinHIKOGW
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHLdVUXD4o
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlsDI5YMCe
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKbARdkUR3
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sRzlVXGVP
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYojY4mLEy
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSRolIxMX2
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zYDGj432C
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7WxVKJ4c8
more and then impact was finally made...329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvR3YlnzD1
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfkm9lMxgD
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7f3rQ9iqz
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlve93jXq8X
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VgAaeAZyo
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzUsk6LguB
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGPlDYuw2z
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6HQQsYToO
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK58c5wvLC
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9AvAH7woj
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICiw7XVh3n
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNjCbvPfP4
