It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way88Please respect copyright.PENANANEchVwI6eE
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a88Please respect copyright.PENANAbGGNWSwjMm
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft88Please respect copyright.PENANAFAAo5Toge3
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not88Please respect copyright.PENANAhRVLqxR68r
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way88Please respect copyright.PENANAUYNX3nIUEK
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and88Please respect copyright.PENANAkYOo7mat6L
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be88Please respect copyright.PENANAkyiJyVRW5K
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern88Please respect copyright.PENANAPF3vYkwi21
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many88Please respect copyright.PENANAC4JeNYjqPf
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many88Please respect copyright.PENANAKKjXpCwDxn
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to88Please respect copyright.PENANATpy1sTvyZg
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,88Please respect copyright.PENANAep5VHdGAin
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim88Please respect copyright.PENANA5qiqqAMM5M
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible88Please respect copyright.PENANAv7i5w1Nm4D
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have88Please respect copyright.PENANAUZokcPmUW5
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim88Please respect copyright.PENANAwcQIaSKTqo
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few88Please respect copyright.PENANAi2yd8BggFm
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...88Please respect copyright.PENANAXOMZNdK2Ol
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after88Please respect copyright.PENANAuESO4ULQsU
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.88Please respect copyright.PENANATH6SJ97GA5
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the88Please respect copyright.PENANAMi2kthI0hl
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.88Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Ndqmcq4l
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept88Please respect copyright.PENANA3OmlYzbWxh
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...88Please respect copyright.PENANAuKoMYEfzK8
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword88Please respect copyright.PENANAG0qdSpUdtp
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”88Please respect copyright.PENANAnisutNFN6W
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous88Please respect copyright.PENANAI0WMEDzhWa
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on88Please respect copyright.PENANAvR6HV4PcNW
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.88Please respect copyright.PENANA1RozzkWTX8
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice88Please respect copyright.PENANA40HKEZmZKc
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept88Please respect copyright.PENANADdlLgFnQdX
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...88Please respect copyright.PENANAoyHI2GvazW
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,88Please respect copyright.PENANAYrvYnxqXtd
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting88Please respect copyright.PENANA3NLciLelSn
patiently.88Please respect copyright.PENANA29dmQ2a127
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”88Please respect copyright.PENANAMqCcBV89IG
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having88Please respect copyright.PENANA0TpqLQFkBu
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”88Please respect copyright.PENANAeiHhl1ne5X
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking88Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pjzv4KIs9
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”88Please respect copyright.PENANAsezlhpfzfM
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving88Please respect copyright.PENANA4QCLTh9YhS
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”88Please respect copyright.PENANAF5n0RaUCbK
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time88Please respect copyright.PENANA5W7ERKUub5
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain88Please respect copyright.PENANAmYYWilUrxu
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things88Please respect copyright.PENANAfEsTFJy48d
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”88Please respect copyright.PENANAnhJRGFOlRS
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the88Please respect copyright.PENANAy4WTbLHdWF
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”88Please respect copyright.PENANAaXEpCH1tPz
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of88Please respect copyright.PENANAtqx9ODZBjG
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were88Please respect copyright.PENANALdYehssXFO
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for88Please respect copyright.PENANAikbAAHX8KL
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty88Please respect copyright.PENANAI7vZXK4q87
weather and all.”88Please respect copyright.PENANA3yqIe4wNX0
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file88Please respect copyright.PENANALDh1z1iRGH
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we88Please respect copyright.PENANA9SIHxPTnQ0
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.88Please respect copyright.PENANAPsGEdV4poE
Rhim, you go first.”88Please respect copyright.PENANAVLQ0lIXNWo
