It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way426Please respect copyright.PENANAcSUwDq7sPT
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a426Please respect copyright.PENANA4MQXqH0i4i
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft426Please respect copyright.PENANAj6KwRNYrqI
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not426Please respect copyright.PENANAKQr31HHaCE
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way426Please respect copyright.PENANAYi4atmCOcg
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and426Please respect copyright.PENANA0O9I9kLLOg
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be426Please respect copyright.PENANAXY9viT3ovw
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern426Please respect copyright.PENANAJtn7kyFIoD
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many426Please respect copyright.PENANAeXyjmcFQt7
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many426Please respect copyright.PENANAs2w6UcYjJe
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to426Please respect copyright.PENANAg8NNcWwdgp
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,426Please respect copyright.PENANAc21egEdHMa
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim426Please respect copyright.PENANAgmIlnXf3oQ
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible426Please respect copyright.PENANAbPLOTB4PIs
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have426Please respect copyright.PENANAMZDAB92dmg
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim426Please respect copyright.PENANAcVOTuXu5su
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few426Please respect copyright.PENANAZzpmLXlW5V
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...426Please respect copyright.PENANABzC2wTrjAg
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after426Please respect copyright.PENANA36z3bbwcIq
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.426Please respect copyright.PENANAloas89mTA6
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the426Please respect copyright.PENANAVvpvIvTwvg
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.426Please respect copyright.PENANAnGLdvmk2Ns
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept426Please respect copyright.PENANA8LXDJm4kZj
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...426Please respect copyright.PENANAEEGxnIeGRI
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword426Please respect copyright.PENANAu7fWibg5fH
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”426Please respect copyright.PENANAb7p9hK2VIX
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous426Please respect copyright.PENANA1ryV8XBDcR
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on426Please respect copyright.PENANAvC9lYzAlq5
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.426Please respect copyright.PENANAhVOzLf8sCL
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice426Please respect copyright.PENANA8c7POi3vgL
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept426Please respect copyright.PENANAsi2t9dhlcH
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...426Please respect copyright.PENANAt6RvEuUyXf
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,426Please respect copyright.PENANAkKyq7XNvDe
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting426Please respect copyright.PENANA6ezRYGKBIT
patiently.426Please respect copyright.PENANAlB0oyfKvid
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”426Please respect copyright.PENANAK7YICUk8GQ
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having426Please respect copyright.PENANAvD2a287tOj
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”426Please respect copyright.PENANAc1rYnitVU4
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking426Please respect copyright.PENANA1DqivVyrIX
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”426Please respect copyright.PENANAhYaUGOoLmh
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving426Please respect copyright.PENANA014ma4XR4d
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”426Please respect copyright.PENANAlluEVZAAqQ
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time426Please respect copyright.PENANA1VgckWNb2o
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain426Please respect copyright.PENANACAQVIFmh4T
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things426Please respect copyright.PENANAjwM3t0UoJO
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”426Please respect copyright.PENANABfQfAJuMfS
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the426Please respect copyright.PENANAjeGwSQXXMq
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”426Please respect copyright.PENANAG6W4oAyx9y
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of426Please respect copyright.PENANA8dCOLKPtUf
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were426Please respect copyright.PENANAtc2gG5Ca3o
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for426Please respect copyright.PENANA0lnZxPYYKI
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty426Please respect copyright.PENANAzSAxw4cgFg
weather and all.”426Please respect copyright.PENANAEhaxnXq84j
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file426Please respect copyright.PENANAnkOEb6Lr1x
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we426Please respect copyright.PENANAAOffHdRfLi
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.426Please respect copyright.PENANA09ObxiA7PV
Rhim, you go first.”426Please respect copyright.PENANAQt8M4WVhl2
