It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9P7Uh3DI
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84pIrVS19Y
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb0OatMluv
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhKOPZHNAY
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge05KPLPYT
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTa879LBfp
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjIYqdoVC
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAx3Fbvls9
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj3vz9lB97
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBUlfQ50BP
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34V7DKmswG
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE62CjrPH0N
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs08KkH0iI
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBDo9l6iVY
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd1tBuKGcu
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RRGD75iBm
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOKYC6FDx4
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HOCCyXRzy
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PNhw8m494
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjFwxQRCOH
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXIj5Ffn4U
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7kXCDRR0q
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3TbJUzmNG
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mn0Fh04QV
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIy2WOAJKy
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxDitk0cmL
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdajq3L3Zz
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDEhQVhyu
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I0rxMI2Cm
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43uRAVjAtm
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QKGQzs2po
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb4sCHjADK
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhV0AZ1C3a
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgjkVUDIpf
patiently.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboc8FLxonv
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlME1CpoUe0
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31X9xolyYj
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOVCxGQw9o
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdR36FRR78
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPLAvdLQhZ
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6GrMZk3Xy
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0b3EQWdul
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7x2BVmj49
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6MPJn4a3X
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMia2ZrXwg
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFRVlogd2
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtATAVNJDzv
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdO5nRGtju
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcmWnGuHp5
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek8mO24rJW
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hn9VfR3Gu
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9ERij54PX
weather and all.”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVqzCOUdum
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRcnyeoEzs
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89fhAa0MXa
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm41PskATGL
Rhim, you go first.”359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mVOxCO1gG
