“I hate this part.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAk2aAIqPndd
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.128Please respect copyright.PENANAWqqSvg7i59
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”128Please respect copyright.PENANATvDHPeGtKB
“Rhim!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAIz02JeuW7M
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.128Please respect copyright.PENANAmYeByRhsxs
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a128Please respect copyright.PENANAmcQ8ZtEaPW
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAXhvg5aOb4Q
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much128Please respect copyright.PENANAWMdrDKlm5Y
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick128Please respect copyright.PENANAk1ISMcB1W3
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...128Please respect copyright.PENANAtXa0S1LBIZ
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry128Please respect copyright.PENANAcpVunggdZu
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit128Please respect copyright.PENANA0cpLXwxhbx
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of128Please respect copyright.PENANADfshuOJbjO
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five128Please respect copyright.PENANAXwdNbfk1NE
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now128Please respect copyright.PENANAe9WjbsGVZk
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even128Please respect copyright.PENANAK6d1xN9CKi
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any128Please respect copyright.PENANAp9LOJYx1PX
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the128Please respect copyright.PENANAA9GLaMYNyB
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.128Please respect copyright.PENANAzdLjcSuhq0
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”128Please respect copyright.PENANAyUgq9SPKS4
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their128Please respect copyright.PENANAVyUGFJznNC
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared128Please respect copyright.PENANAKELLwZXt4b
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that128Please respect copyright.PENANAaO50RbEeMY
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned128Please respect copyright.PENANAFQm4qAB565
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to128Please respect copyright.PENANAm3IL8ml8S0
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling128Please respect copyright.PENANAEhxrAKcvtA
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself128Please respect copyright.PENANAsbrSCj4zXG
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of128Please respect copyright.PENANA6tgg6hcBa6
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the128Please respect copyright.PENANAvnyOP57AEg
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go128Please respect copyright.PENANAtGqBAeAd8T
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.128Please respect copyright.PENANApJKKXBSONT
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,128Please respect copyright.PENANAsKagYmctCt
“In three... two... one... Mark!”128Please respect copyright.PENANAwEa9SHo1Jq
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one128Please respect copyright.PENANAU36krXVadF
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance128Please respect copyright.PENANA2sHXS8IU6L
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.128Please respect copyright.PENANAe3rk4pZJmn
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority128Please respect copyright.PENANAX1EoJ7ClzH
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around128Please respect copyright.PENANAByc4YriTdp
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and128Please respect copyright.PENANAT1rvX1zeq8
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.128Please respect copyright.PENANA5b0wokUbeN
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their128Please respect copyright.PENANAAXQbnHvYCk
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach128Please respect copyright.PENANAoQq1reQCt0
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows128Please respect copyright.PENANAQv74zm854F
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became128Please respect copyright.PENANAjozQRaUlKL
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe128Please respect copyright.PENANAMX0FQss09t
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly128Please respect copyright.PENANAIIwN7Lk01O
more and then impact was finally made...128Please respect copyright.PENANAJQhKYGkFhs
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than128Please respect copyright.PENANA4MwZPc2oaW
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of128Please respect copyright.PENANAv1scI90CGX
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found128Please respect copyright.PENANA8MRXo85wFx
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.128Please respect copyright.PENANAAfwZNSrIXn
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has128Please respect copyright.PENANAjemZ3cGsny
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to128Please respect copyright.PENANASZVNuPZLOZ
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any128Please respect copyright.PENANALroNSXb1BB
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this128Please respect copyright.PENANAmFZjqdTeT4
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of128Please respect copyright.PENANA5h2ULCDhAm
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAx0756Kcsl3
