It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way427Please respect copyright.PENANAQGyeCFeT4Q
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a427Please respect copyright.PENANApzgl74DCiU
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft427Please respect copyright.PENANAMuZKvH1jcY
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not427Please respect copyright.PENANAhvumSd2svc
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way427Please respect copyright.PENANAPlsK0y5mbj
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and427Please respect copyright.PENANA6yw9YySnab
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be427Please respect copyright.PENANAigpRj4wbV0
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern427Please respect copyright.PENANA1eKKOFe7ez
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many427Please respect copyright.PENANAIyke8tWiYz
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many427Please respect copyright.PENANA2GgT9aThr8
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to427Please respect copyright.PENANA3EEKraHLwq
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,427Please respect copyright.PENANAnuu6ToSI8s
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim427Please respect copyright.PENANADxkZjDNZy0
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible427Please respect copyright.PENANAeajuVNoFRv
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have427Please respect copyright.PENANAJktSrgfhCX
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim427Please respect copyright.PENANANnoGyMVYgB
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few427Please respect copyright.PENANAZGU0NFFvv9
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...427Please respect copyright.PENANAIIhrCRSEEi
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after427Please respect copyright.PENANAD4MfCTwUxP
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.427Please respect copyright.PENANAoFTfDJdwkp
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the427Please respect copyright.PENANALuRByCTnA5
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.427Please respect copyright.PENANAlBfgZ7g7rn
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept427Please respect copyright.PENANApV0IXzavtS
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...427Please respect copyright.PENANAT6P89t2jhH
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword427Please respect copyright.PENANANJRod1qZWu
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”427Please respect copyright.PENANAlqwpB1KixQ
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous427Please respect copyright.PENANABuYvXZph1o
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on427Please respect copyright.PENANAKa8wTSv1H1
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.427Please respect copyright.PENANA5JATu4aLv9
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice427Please respect copyright.PENANAVjmicQXh4Z
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept427Please respect copyright.PENANAmo7L5iiJ8w
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...427Please respect copyright.PENANAHaLTKhw46O
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,427Please respect copyright.PENANAfpUA3cWA3w
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting427Please respect copyright.PENANAnFC6mMKxA6
patiently.427Please respect copyright.PENANAIxc8savqGZ
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”427Please respect copyright.PENANAWaFeqVjfkz
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having427Please respect copyright.PENANA81hDrpd91n
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”427Please respect copyright.PENANAj9vRVUjzdQ
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking427Please respect copyright.PENANA8IRKQahpFE
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”427Please respect copyright.PENANAOpIA8Y3IDZ
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving427Please respect copyright.PENANAWHgsJgTd6i
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”427Please respect copyright.PENANA7ut1otXzur
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time427Please respect copyright.PENANAFshwBgoJsA
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain427Please respect copyright.PENANAJfvCP2GSZV
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things427Please respect copyright.PENANAnEeYYNvuQL
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”427Please respect copyright.PENANAdrX9QMDfji
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the427Please respect copyright.PENANADtyJSrckrn
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”427Please respect copyright.PENANAcswgk52YQ0
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of427Please respect copyright.PENANAACr7u9cwrL
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were427Please respect copyright.PENANA9feRhud6RG
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for427Please respect copyright.PENANAoa4trm7iG8
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty427Please respect copyright.PENANAU6H7SehWKu
weather and all.”427Please respect copyright.PENANAeyjLEroLM1
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file427Please respect copyright.PENANAzb17VjUTyn
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we427Please respect copyright.PENANAQi48jHXkHh
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.427Please respect copyright.PENANAHqjaw4M0R5
Rhim, you go first.”427Please respect copyright.PENANAD7MYqivsFn
