“I hate this part.”365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxzcS6ZUaC
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I4J3kYJFy
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GxbJqz6TJ
“Rhim!”365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl6MKkdV6c
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcqm0FBKYT
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8lPeyOmVq
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSFC8tGn2m
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xriZPubpK
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydTETKuYKz
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOgKzmX8u
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbvAXLsZJT
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuGuqscF3Q
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN1p4Tay2n
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpdsL5Grbp
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qizJul7MQ
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMKe4Q7GfE
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRymaNV1dtf
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUlkyTZgDT
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI8sS9zfp6
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNqR1VYb4h
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfE81OLLCO
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCZBZCwdzm
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXGtfePxul
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk3woHofYw
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEzlqq34n9
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrn9QSkXrG
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv3IMJXwbg
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnetcd8TiI2
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvXS0IE4BL
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZctAsFJj6x
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkI86yvIgt
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0weDVOLTB
“In three... two... one... Mark!”365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLWfLUMJkP
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55NOaafO3U
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxqpYyPMmD
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuQUByltAk
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jIhY8Vwb
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKs2ftobOn
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g4AdflLzV
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsDSv2BDWi
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9FlsoVBAr
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU9gjusR6s
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgK7AL62Al
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkheD0K2Ae
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGupQR6xOxq
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qzBjh16jA
more and then impact was finally made...365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6wvtjChQ3
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsR4rkh9bQ
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6CBJLHa5k
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wynk2k7Ap
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYRpe2ofKH
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlR9DhCLgM
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXFGGvdPR3
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQS2wpdyaH
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8oHD1wEp7
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mtEFysJDX
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAsSuEzbDd
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8XfnwVzTg
