It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way424Please respect copyright.PENANAVAA2ZnMgpi
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a424Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ8ZnOz4so
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft424Please respect copyright.PENANAceIZ3swTJH
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not424Please respect copyright.PENANAryJHYbiCMM
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way424Please respect copyright.PENANAS3pRoTeZQk
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and424Please respect copyright.PENANAWxU1vGozcB
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be424Please respect copyright.PENANAASK5iWpHGV
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern424Please respect copyright.PENANAXuL6vRgOci
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many424Please respect copyright.PENANAGj3rbe7YnW
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many424Please respect copyright.PENANARoQUfmJEXz
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to424Please respect copyright.PENANADY77e3hp7K
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,424Please respect copyright.PENANAeAjXGZsQg2
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim424Please respect copyright.PENANAYpvt93RFIC
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible424Please respect copyright.PENANACwNEkdNpg5
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have424Please respect copyright.PENANAAyHJd9nIB2
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim424Please respect copyright.PENANAzwoV5Ir6gP
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few424Please respect copyright.PENANAEhSpycRSey
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...424Please respect copyright.PENANA921eqBpyoT
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after424Please respect copyright.PENANAjqvB7M87Mo
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.424Please respect copyright.PENANA5j2WPzHfyg
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the424Please respect copyright.PENANAk0K1Idly10
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.424Please respect copyright.PENANAqnWrh1596g
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept424Please respect copyright.PENANASFrteXZhV7
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...424Please respect copyright.PENANAlg0Me047Ts
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword424Please respect copyright.PENANAfFtLGzfRON
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAAcK1op2Y76
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous424Please respect copyright.PENANAUM3Oi475ld
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on424Please respect copyright.PENANAMyRCzvopez
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.424Please respect copyright.PENANAUYBKe22Vvi
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice424Please respect copyright.PENANApAljLxUCiK
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept424Please respect copyright.PENANAAGm31v7vfZ
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...424Please respect copyright.PENANARexf506Snt
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,424Please respect copyright.PENANAvmeiaWvcZd
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting424Please respect copyright.PENANAUtj5ZZ3weK
patiently.424Please respect copyright.PENANAzJo9K4VlAn
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAgjLxtUELUQ
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having424Please respect copyright.PENANA15LcKo9fgc
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”424Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7zYV4YcrM
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking424Please respect copyright.PENANAB9CdWQKpQ8
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”424Please respect copyright.PENANApMczJaQSbO
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving424Please respect copyright.PENANA8kLSgAv1sj
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”424Please respect copyright.PENANANvfss0cL7D
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time424Please respect copyright.PENANAMJLEeHZWEA
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain424Please respect copyright.PENANA5ztsXLUUVi
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things424Please respect copyright.PENANAQmtts263na
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”424Please respect copyright.PENANA5GOr2VctC3
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the424Please respect copyright.PENANAjo72fo6FRv
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAkogGCDT0NG
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of424Please respect copyright.PENANACy5dW0Qay4
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were424Please respect copyright.PENANAyoRlLRLFI2
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for424Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0VsFDDu6M
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty424Please respect copyright.PENANAYSDiOnfYEL
weather and all.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAruwKUuzK6g
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file424Please respect copyright.PENANAdanOjjwiTd
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we424Please respect copyright.PENANAeFsiRYmTwN
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.424Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z9TpyqbpQ
Rhim, you go first.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAjGrtqAmyIB
