It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9bzfjemLB
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSWYYXrd9r
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFGYxYkq0b
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvF49XD3VX
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOUUwpK4tv
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6wXAGXNMW
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Dg6J2HOc
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMK06M6hvX
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBB5JB9ttU
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSgKHOYoLe
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Y3hgrueN
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzrtgk9t3p
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQXru5wJ5S
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hSEyHTIzF
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTnDjuRP25
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSQXi6HIzu
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmm8cxAubZ
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E4Qe6zq5J
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUYefT4bbO
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleQZqkuAOf
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7SquWHKZO
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiVAMrt9xB
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjf4BQKGl1
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99MdMkOF4Y
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CMwXlwBVT
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FN2QkEauB
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1I0S5t65P
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1b8W6ziCv
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcwlGuI06S
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvklP1DkBY
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKYW9kaEZ8
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmym2ygHlJ
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaY2rvn7Kk
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0SbEt14jN
patiently.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3kxDiXFPa
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAtLyCjDke
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18R63hd0Gi
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q1Zh7oN6N
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeVrngjk0V
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aTrMLLbsM
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLDomu3o2
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkS7jb4j6Q
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15j7o9cd3z
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVvY8f78q8
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtNMKYut1q
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFtmtEPpaF
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuFVYRlpr8
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH2bT7gECK
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmYSczWtgf
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk05iWsLe7T
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu10xal0N1Y
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj5v2zlFcj
weather and all.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAYN3dP8Qy
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVzpBUcN9
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYrTIFYNZr
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7TNtXMkFS
Rhim, you go first.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58CsKbMJac
