“I hate this part.”122Please respect copyright.PENANAf1OD7Qtm0M
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.122Please respect copyright.PENANAxszC4xa2aV
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”122Please respect copyright.PENANAr4PLl4n4Og
“Rhim!”122Please respect copyright.PENANAVuGU4WS3Up
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.122Please respect copyright.PENANAwQjfy3f0Go
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a122Please respect copyright.PENANA46fNZ0pwFl
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”122Please respect copyright.PENANAG47Zw1Ib6N
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much122Please respect copyright.PENANAPMZaADOSop
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick122Please respect copyright.PENANARL3uHhqigD
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...122Please respect copyright.PENANAvRYNlB6fr2
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry122Please respect copyright.PENANApHxk4RwKY1
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit122Please respect copyright.PENANAKxN7bU3dfP
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of122Please respect copyright.PENANAujw8hYUjvo
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five122Please respect copyright.PENANAOa5y0T1dJf
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now122Please respect copyright.PENANAoZX0Vqhv4v
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even122Please respect copyright.PENANAiVSuzuoIuQ
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any122Please respect copyright.PENANAm3D3t7MzhN
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the122Please respect copyright.PENANAlPokntrSRf
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.122Please respect copyright.PENANA2SgyAcGVpS
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”122Please respect copyright.PENANAqmVcx2lJFK
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their122Please respect copyright.PENANAvdIm0RsVbI
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared122Please respect copyright.PENANArwtOwlwVhG
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that122Please respect copyright.PENANAvW69DKn8zY
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned122Please respect copyright.PENANAk5iNlIy6q5
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to122Please respect copyright.PENANAT6QqPIQirB
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling122Please respect copyright.PENANAV9uEOxBp1n
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself122Please respect copyright.PENANA4RI4FBhsFx
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of122Please respect copyright.PENANAQ09XsFiSpP
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the122Please respect copyright.PENANA4jhYAJb34N
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go122Please respect copyright.PENANANuO0H708uF
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.122Please respect copyright.PENANAxBlBMCqAuv
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,122Please respect copyright.PENANAQS1N6J5ae8
“In three... two... one... Mark!”122Please respect copyright.PENANAmdEuLRhY3u
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one122Please respect copyright.PENANA4axB4R9dIx
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance122Please respect copyright.PENANAYojdrh5dlc
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.122Please respect copyright.PENANAu1XCFAMm8P
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority122Please respect copyright.PENANAuh3z6S4LM3
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around122Please respect copyright.PENANAXCs8e8AlWt
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and122Please respect copyright.PENANACtq6BgaJbH
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.122Please respect copyright.PENANAzbZHyHIVf7
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their122Please respect copyright.PENANAprm7OjM8in
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach122Please respect copyright.PENANAGbO5EeLKh9
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows122Please respect copyright.PENANAqaOdMWmJiq
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became122Please respect copyright.PENANANJlKq3fcyx
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe122Please respect copyright.PENANA35iO9UnWkZ
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly122Please respect copyright.PENANA4YAjQ4bXTx
more and then impact was finally made...122Please respect copyright.PENANAJhSBREZv5N
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than122Please respect copyright.PENANA2mX0mIpeN9
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of122Please respect copyright.PENANAz2hFzK78Xm
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found122Please respect copyright.PENANAOWEL2G1PvF
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.122Please respect copyright.PENANACZ5kaLTmE0
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has122Please respect copyright.PENANAuJCD6EVu29
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to122Please respect copyright.PENANA4FRt024lJ7
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any122Please respect copyright.PENANArQqol8rgO1
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this122Please respect copyright.PENANAB9EEK6tF2e
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of122Please respect copyright.PENANAjDv5LNo0mv
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
