It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyp6kTEKg4
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk8tysW2GS
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPidcHaiGh
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHvCgZZ9TG
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDt9HKGehx
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfZtWuLVyz
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Spyfswoq
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CSTNWwnyP
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXKpSxCOy4
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmHsEpND5X
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjc5cneafn
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zREK8x0Ej
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Jny9Tp42
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH62IdD6rf
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbTypou18E
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLFB9vjqLZ
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVRNVqL12z
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OqOoaQ8oB
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrylm4ZcXm
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeTNzTbpmz
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLIkH3SgSt
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fQj6mLcOY
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9DnpQXexm
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCDAi8nBLu
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcF1k415xL
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGS0UhH6TT
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhjWqvddqS
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAlfIYeIIv
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZpDFtVTwA
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTsrc3Yvu
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgQKQQXlUO
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxUBU9A31w
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA4Qu9UxTI
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy6J1HOIq6
patiently.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv8xEQtE6z
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF6bwciflb
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiRIvyRP6m
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTIALWssEH
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwcrWjR3vK
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67zvHjbAP4
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXccPMznxT
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ps2bBtqfs
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BWsxjJzhf
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdztRGBnSu
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4UvimtoXt
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVX16AvukV
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57JjBoqK6C
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gfFydypN
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDs7OHw2Nh
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhwezX5s6N
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrIzPGG0SG
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY42a8v8VX
weather and all.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXXBWsck4j
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0OR5VTpMK
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxcTSxqoQy
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJS09BGF2
Rhim, you go first.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUbdILykB
