“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uLwKRHKt
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n3ZQeQhpL
“Rhim!”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfynCjnVQA8
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFEUH8cUuL
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V6FN10Wsk
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakkUbeiWLe
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XffoTPMXv
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f1ODuXMjS
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdJRcLynny
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNtOcUbfjz
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3sDKqyMl4
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kf5lrTSEV
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jl6k5Y0uD
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0GrS65v4X
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirxmHOnKKc
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HHdBzCLH6
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUep13FZ6Y
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlDsEu5Zlq
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKCuCrJNKt
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVFjKHbvZm
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4oTmftyXb
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38cxBfgB2H
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWrI12vovj
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OaHOI064t
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecS7MhhQRe
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqf4pHb0w5
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsndOBHoeF
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTEebypOJ3
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JduAYZ8Ua
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgG7x3pR4W
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX4oxQRHQ2
“In three... two... one... Mark!”368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngd2i1RtwH
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXbvBWx09w
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj5e0vmQ4I
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj00IRuo8i
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPvYWJOwUm
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoO8z2XQBP
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM46WA9opvh
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQCjnoJv6G
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVnIrH7rWH
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStZnvh9h3i
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkitEO2Ul95
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj9hwdDrL1
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5y9XvfNXI
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZa0vES1ET
more and then impact was finally made...368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9xnYuKCLZ
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07rsyrVZkr
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiqVdV5Hmg
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruMNxMcDkZ
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwioWE8R2JP
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk93wmyujwL
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRdJ57kWNg
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnh1Xcc2Tf
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoXUdCqs6P
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v8QtyPV08
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
