“I hate this part.”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLupwgkxSbr
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2dQSkErpA
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU7IwtgoB8
“Rhim!”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4BlfpNZ1b
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WlhHGJXT
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog7hTIIk2Z
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkSvCNF32M
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixCCgLWNXy
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dIk8WbGOh
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNSzLjFYcX
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mWOlthFvf
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHFLahkR7m
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NHkS9Axwg
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sRRAYNUgS
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kh3zJ9zKW
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSPmTN89Cw
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRFlVO20s9
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIjQOzXSWf
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTUBdbdYJ1
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs6pZxMeBh
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5FPs27Ngv
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv2shYdRD0
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG7558vYig
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HtPeHwF1C
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsje6wRUsz
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscejQXweBp
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8xOZ4E5Vc
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdiBxxkm2I
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDWEsOsNJ6
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo1BwZURdM
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV9mwXt6j7
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sh1r6tHDk
“In three... two... one... Mark!”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaDD03Rx4l
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSjSl28rhi
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUHs1LUT7z
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVwDQFP3Rm
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQG8ZOs0Y
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjBTJgXbNA
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJjTq0g4yk
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyC8fzAttC
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rvKFf5L3y
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06PL7m8fnS
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrLJ6e7lW4
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVPJeeJogI
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n1CWZKeXv
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgREAu9lZG
more and then impact was finally made...321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSP6QYBDGk
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPtyaAh5oM
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELeJrTsKC
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIV3K8v6kQ
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GFaP2afq5
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAwBBkPihE
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ExFNKJ50
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv3eSYrmAE
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxR8NvSxzz
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47DkSOyImF
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
