It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way425Please respect copyright.PENANALtFju7poLj
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a425Please respect copyright.PENANAh6u5Y619kW
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft425Please respect copyright.PENANACOt5MP0NCc
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not425Please respect copyright.PENANAUCZGxBQFHE
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way425Please respect copyright.PENANAxONAJpsRYn
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and425Please respect copyright.PENANAcSNwT2EXwW
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be425Please respect copyright.PENANATexJNZpNTy
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern425Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rf2a8syNR
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many425Please respect copyright.PENANA8NlNj2MHNP
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many425Please respect copyright.PENANAX2vzYx74Hi
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to425Please respect copyright.PENANAVuZnYCP5nN
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,425Please respect copyright.PENANA061bMA1Nw8
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim425Please respect copyright.PENANA7MZWze8fG1
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible425Please respect copyright.PENANAWcwZ8UStNJ
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have425Please respect copyright.PENANAwaWKHLAa4w
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim425Please respect copyright.PENANANoW93f2H7J
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few425Please respect copyright.PENANAP6HEvgntcf
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...425Please respect copyright.PENANAVBU7PbRBFl
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after425Please respect copyright.PENANAtu2xVGSwH5
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.425Please respect copyright.PENANAtNNbKGarwW
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the425Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZFv1VNG7N
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.425Please respect copyright.PENANAOfY0DB2nyE
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept425Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q5JBl0zFt
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...425Please respect copyright.PENANALQWbsL7Gur
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword425Please respect copyright.PENANAyeDCUrg9gr
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAaWEYmTJ14O
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous425Please respect copyright.PENANAQEA7oEAOVt
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on425Please respect copyright.PENANAZy1ULeeikr
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.425Please respect copyright.PENANArhF6PjLUn2
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice425Please respect copyright.PENANAAK9dt9t5Qu
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept425Please respect copyright.PENANANLmssJI3VP
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...425Please respect copyright.PENANA2pj508kXLt
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,425Please respect copyright.PENANA065G5XlEnt
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting425Please respect copyright.PENANAJLn0eESJkU
patiently.425Please respect copyright.PENANA2qZQqxScHa
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAlDvOJuUpZC
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having425Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Hibqicfa
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”425Please respect copyright.PENANAKGm4JZqp6Y
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking425Please respect copyright.PENANAHgzagNeeUc
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”425Please respect copyright.PENANAUPgGEIAZhd
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving425Please respect copyright.PENANAMeHGqXju5v
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”425Please respect copyright.PENANAhtsMO40WQ3
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time425Please respect copyright.PENANAumCWRhIaYV
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain425Please respect copyright.PENANAHb6AVtG305
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things425Please respect copyright.PENANAzqDCEHTgx2
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”425Please respect copyright.PENANAoiH0g9etkv
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the425Please respect copyright.PENANAOec6RNAaHU
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAoONXYBqnPX
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of425Please respect copyright.PENANAU2CGKQfJW3
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were425Please respect copyright.PENANAcCHkqeTZUv
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for425Please respect copyright.PENANAGvdFxOKTxA
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty425Please respect copyright.PENANAd8H72u8vDV
weather and all.”425Please respect copyright.PENANACkACiaceUo
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file425Please respect copyright.PENANA51d8o4YU8A
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we425Please respect copyright.PENANAtaSZUtP7cB
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.425Please respect copyright.PENANAh7QtoOcs8z
Rhim, you go first.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAoiCl3FUE2f
