“I hate this part.”98Please respect copyright.PENANATa2ohOEHul
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.98Please respect copyright.PENANA9aDrqxJyBe
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”98Please respect copyright.PENANAHFFe6MHpSp
“Rhim!”98Please respect copyright.PENANA3chTW03K7t
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.98Please respect copyright.PENANA6tzYj1JNMo
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a98Please respect copyright.PENANAkEf4cTINvT
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”98Please respect copyright.PENANASKEfeBMvgE
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much98Please respect copyright.PENANAbM915SGl9l
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick98Please respect copyright.PENANAcQOlGbj1MX
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...98Please respect copyright.PENANAgQJkSs3DK7
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry98Please respect copyright.PENANAaQqRWW1cYY
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit98Please respect copyright.PENANALnq88OOjtU
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of98Please respect copyright.PENANANwSxHAyiBn
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five98Please respect copyright.PENANAUf1pxfllMq
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now98Please respect copyright.PENANASLTXxX4D8N
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even98Please respect copyright.PENANAQAf9vtHR3Y
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any98Please respect copyright.PENANAzhiVbTLPuj
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the98Please respect copyright.PENANA3A7MvVTGEY
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.98Please respect copyright.PENANAStYUAnE2LB
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”98Please respect copyright.PENANAhRkz12xeml
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their98Please respect copyright.PENANAv6eakob9Gp
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared98Please respect copyright.PENANAZs9WLLFB5N
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that98Please respect copyright.PENANAnwGyHxmNhm
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned98Please respect copyright.PENANAc5FnsgJKSg
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to98Please respect copyright.PENANApaoM885chj
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling98Please respect copyright.PENANAAE2JNUSFnV
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself98Please respect copyright.PENANAPlMP9xNyyJ
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of98Please respect copyright.PENANATyeSCF5LLY
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the98Please respect copyright.PENANA11JtxIfivR
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go98Please respect copyright.PENANAWI1yxJVdr7
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.98Please respect copyright.PENANAR7KihCzSSk
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,98Please respect copyright.PENANA5t1J3Sgl0P
“In three... two... one... Mark!”98Please respect copyright.PENANAZcrKhX8rSc
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one98Please respect copyright.PENANAolCZKgUQCD
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance98Please respect copyright.PENANAK2QSiynXVD
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.98Please respect copyright.PENANA4B9GcjFY8z
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority98Please respect copyright.PENANAhNmCadoHBi
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around98Please respect copyright.PENANAT2FeXDsBbt
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and98Please respect copyright.PENANABGBCxEJXoy
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.98Please respect copyright.PENANAHFyM4CjToj
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their98Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ5pG8ZatB
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach98Please respect copyright.PENANAYOdf9NDTFF
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows98Please respect copyright.PENANAxsWkm7xkr7
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became98Please respect copyright.PENANAJPi8LGha5Y
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe98Please respect copyright.PENANAuit2Ogge5k
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly98Please respect copyright.PENANAqc6gNxxVXH
more and then impact was finally made...98Please respect copyright.PENANAqPsyKiNUf8
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than98Please respect copyright.PENANACkeOkYG6T9
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of98Please respect copyright.PENANAqhqrLRbhIj
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found98Please respect copyright.PENANAZRW8VRdx2a
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.98Please respect copyright.PENANAWGDQuVaoLW
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has98Please respect copyright.PENANALcugQ5PUkU
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to98Please respect copyright.PENANApP8suIxMI7
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any98Please respect copyright.PENANAr2am6IB7ZX
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this98Please respect copyright.PENANAuNM9rvnMfc
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of98Please respect copyright.PENANAj5rZLkJjLV
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
