It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way109Please respect copyright.PENANAgXdsCQNNWe
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a109Please respect copyright.PENANAuiQ00TGPNS
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft109Please respect copyright.PENANAf6R2aqgCXk
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not109Please respect copyright.PENANAGalkQYuwcC
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way109Please respect copyright.PENANADai6dwXYnY
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and109Please respect copyright.PENANAGKv4Q41Gya
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be109Please respect copyright.PENANA25PZvvmDdo
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern109Please respect copyright.PENANAEjYnoJRMpl
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many109Please respect copyright.PENANANH6TLgKGJj
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many109Please respect copyright.PENANAxrOVoXWYAC
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to109Please respect copyright.PENANA7vIZKxG0Q9
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,109Please respect copyright.PENANAMKLvedkUhh
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim109Please respect copyright.PENANAmTZ26tdXkm
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible109Please respect copyright.PENANAY1ZOMNZ20w
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have109Please respect copyright.PENANAzqlxWijJwX
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim109Please respect copyright.PENANA05Ln4kz5DJ
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few109Please respect copyright.PENANA3zfhcLA0zN
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...109Please respect copyright.PENANArMuOgsgRph
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after109Please respect copyright.PENANAS46FiVvNJD
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.109Please respect copyright.PENANAWEpaFFYOTT
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the109Please respect copyright.PENANArc7rBpVhBS
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.109Please respect copyright.PENANA2NbaGj3jGs
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept109Please respect copyright.PENANAIeb6lSiesm
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...109Please respect copyright.PENANAaVjOCPmSMx
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword109Please respect copyright.PENANAZVyEBsu6Z7
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”109Please respect copyright.PENANA5WxwNc9Oi4
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous109Please respect copyright.PENANA6sOpAAZIw8
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on109Please respect copyright.PENANAnzgHQabb5l
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.109Please respect copyright.PENANA0MZqdSxH1y
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice109Please respect copyright.PENANAslIxG5SMg3
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept109Please respect copyright.PENANAXQhn0ic5N2
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...109Please respect copyright.PENANAqhSzRV5WwR
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,109Please respect copyright.PENANAx4F6unotaA
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting109Please respect copyright.PENANAoOJtMIrWEy
patiently.109Please respect copyright.PENANAOszjwjmImI
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”109Please respect copyright.PENANALMwi7YyLF5
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having109Please respect copyright.PENANAMZbLmncZ3H
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”109Please respect copyright.PENANAIsGjwU5v3W
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking109Please respect copyright.PENANAvBmec7IClt
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”109Please respect copyright.PENANALwdy7fraoR
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving109Please respect copyright.PENANAjgGrhZTiaZ
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”109Please respect copyright.PENANAAHoESU83Qm
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time109Please respect copyright.PENANAK2WwXl9XyG
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain109Please respect copyright.PENANAwkmGsLfa42
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things109Please respect copyright.PENANA63oRKv4Sgu
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”109Please respect copyright.PENANAOaAEKi4Lov
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the109Please respect copyright.PENANA54nhswbFor
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”109Please respect copyright.PENANAJsFQH508d7
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of109Please respect copyright.PENANATG9FWCndMs
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were109Please respect copyright.PENANAoK9WpyHjRc
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for109Please respect copyright.PENANA9NLGdEwOwl
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty109Please respect copyright.PENANAI8kn5ZKWzu
weather and all.”109Please respect copyright.PENANAqXNB30tOcn
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file109Please respect copyright.PENANAEEVmbhStOI
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we109Please respect copyright.PENANAUH90PtAfff
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.109Please respect copyright.PENANAwGjCj3uBy6
Rhim, you go first.”109Please respect copyright.PENANAOSUP6ziNQD
