It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way425Please respect copyright.PENANAnyznClRA7p
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a425Please respect copyright.PENANAt25UPRK36n
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft425Please respect copyright.PENANAKoX65JNVSB
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not425Please respect copyright.PENANAH0UHilkS8l
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way425Please respect copyright.PENANABgO0zsql8B
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and425Please respect copyright.PENANAp3xJ65ryKk
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be425Please respect copyright.PENANAs1NtrHNc0d
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern425Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ait3wnLqL
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many425Please respect copyright.PENANAi0SYaRN4wu
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many425Please respect copyright.PENANAKsCNOfDFT3
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to425Please respect copyright.PENANA6DZlL5w0qh
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,425Please respect copyright.PENANAkzbmQPe7XO
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim425Please respect copyright.PENANAUXv63uKJm6
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible425Please respect copyright.PENANA5rnxvGBh0e
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have425Please respect copyright.PENANArzhbarj1Nn
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim425Please respect copyright.PENANAKjKN9BGkIx
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few425Please respect copyright.PENANANzz2eU1WJ7
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...425Please respect copyright.PENANAQnJVMUoaEF
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after425Please respect copyright.PENANASRAs4CM3A1
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.425Please respect copyright.PENANAtNjl3PkyXr
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the425Please respect copyright.PENANAxXnnbhKjZO
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.425Please respect copyright.PENANAO76bke6gUl
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept425Please respect copyright.PENANAMjbAUyymZ1
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...425Please respect copyright.PENANA8TgNtK7B7s
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword425Please respect copyright.PENANAKYKBCQZyp2
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAlgstBEwm2z
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous425Please respect copyright.PENANARifwkADla6
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on425Please respect copyright.PENANAMB0VXlKZvf
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.425Please respect copyright.PENANA3E8XHvDwJD
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice425Please respect copyright.PENANA95Aovo7akB
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept425Please respect copyright.PENANAxTFnPlxwVN
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...425Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0EId7W8Ej
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,425Please respect copyright.PENANAw30jxvEGJE
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting425Please respect copyright.PENANAgx3vxoRGvR
patiently.425Please respect copyright.PENANA7TG3v0CX9j
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAK6VPt88J35
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having425Please respect copyright.PENANAPVSmXbyY3s
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”425Please respect copyright.PENANApW8cUbNrBK
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking425Please respect copyright.PENANALARqzt87DF
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”425Please respect copyright.PENANAu3f2B2Lbdv
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving425Please respect copyright.PENANAs2sHu5K8ex
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”425Please respect copyright.PENANAoElQocja6V
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time425Please respect copyright.PENANANEBu28VVGO
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain425Please respect copyright.PENANAQKHaDGiVzm
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things425Please respect copyright.PENANAkdvaQ9Yn3P
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”425Please respect copyright.PENANA3KNr1OiktF
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the425Please respect copyright.PENANAsGyr9uxxU1
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAmVjWJb24fD
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of425Please respect copyright.PENANAlRQJFbmr4u
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were425Please respect copyright.PENANA3JZWL19eKF
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for425Please respect copyright.PENANAE2V9r8k1L1
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty425Please respect copyright.PENANAxlSx9Rkl0r
weather and all.”425Please respect copyright.PENANA1ln0QDN1i0
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file425Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZnFCNGHAQ
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we425Please respect copyright.PENANAwzrwW4x5hr
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.425Please respect copyright.PENANAVagW8AS4mQ
Rhim, you go first.”425Please respect copyright.PENANAj9nJz4Bmcm
