It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3mLXgkf1B
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOykz8z2QEB
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJTWMLBLzl
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbFFV4U5Ih
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoFK656pTT
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEm7ZViKnr
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaLNHex4MF
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOm3e1wJd4
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa151EaUes9
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFyegVBzYl
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywwjW6D20g
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhydDMzJZi
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBAGw0x4tq
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSph6Rtu11
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRWQgyB6a
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mnMIcJ6q9
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVII5pEKtMg
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLEQuMit4
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfvbeY5TFj
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4ffzxJ461
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59V493QXmk
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE4KsdnMay
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEQw8lyIdG
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoi1RzAsKB
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IDlazXZbR
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmP38fCCFg
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABcEaY4jJh
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUmU0LcHVh
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pmp70SDWm
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjQ6tQF7yj
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbK8B0i9i0
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYrCfEgSDv
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H1pzxA7KN
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCjsZ92laM
patiently.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mto3xLqTk
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5HokdyWrr
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSom39IG5Gq
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8QGNalyS7
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl8bziC9cF
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv0lPmxdEd
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYkZd9VJCH
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUp67Jz4RQ
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHUEZyENlI
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ681OzONGGv
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbObR7qlpH
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM106EGugk
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S4h7NnG8F
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGbWsBIb6x
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAzcv4N056
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzU0xLj6r
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELtcUbDpcK
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0OcWUXTqM
weather and all.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18CXDJOkM3
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zv47JLz0l
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGyYaiMlB3
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZuouSuMUg
Rhim, you go first.”340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKJMxi9l3M
