“I hate this part.”86Please respect copyright.PENANAn65CsDgXea
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.86Please respect copyright.PENANAb6BkyUYLQN
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”86Please respect copyright.PENANAH8FYxc5wrq
“Rhim!”86Please respect copyright.PENANAHssP7X2diS
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.86Please respect copyright.PENANAvM70iUx7Kv
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a86Please respect copyright.PENANAP2XSiJ38p7
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”86Please respect copyright.PENANArL97LiSxLe
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much86Please respect copyright.PENANArdaBQQpabE
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick86Please respect copyright.PENANA1bCEEBxYrk
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...86Please respect copyright.PENANAGWJw6WyDE0
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry86Please respect copyright.PENANAPNZj1pFa9y
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit86Please respect copyright.PENANAuNMwXVtzgX
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of86Please respect copyright.PENANAUfLo5XWocr
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five86Please respect copyright.PENANARgMYYrc0hp
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now86Please respect copyright.PENANAIb0JQX7lnX
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even86Please respect copyright.PENANAC3aXAkkdix
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any86Please respect copyright.PENANARmY0fKROfe
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the86Please respect copyright.PENANApTn99NlXqG
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.86Please respect copyright.PENANAkRf5hnMJ4i
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”86Please respect copyright.PENANAJpiaDRPoDf
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their86Please respect copyright.PENANAs8U64fy3M0
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared86Please respect copyright.PENANAwn1V3kdvqo
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that86Please respect copyright.PENANAxjnNR3Ol85
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned86Please respect copyright.PENANAhyjRnfbIHu
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to86Please respect copyright.PENANA82ePjGgpMA
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling86Please respect copyright.PENANA8iKQMz688v
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself86Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vd6iz3yhm
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of86Please respect copyright.PENANAmKBnsVhuFH
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the86Please respect copyright.PENANA188svl0FSU
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go86Please respect copyright.PENANAXYXiZJWONG
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.86Please respect copyright.PENANAGqw5Xpwky6
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,86Please respect copyright.PENANAdlNzXNPeLQ
“In three... two... one... Mark!”86Please respect copyright.PENANA8631jNyQZG
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one86Please respect copyright.PENANA5fb8TIs5gr
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance86Please respect copyright.PENANAGxnF9cDxJm
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.86Please respect copyright.PENANAuxcpegK8of
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority86Please respect copyright.PENANAvuDmj0PcZe
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around86Please respect copyright.PENANA3foktsUZwF
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and86Please respect copyright.PENANAj3yscSiW0z
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.86Please respect copyright.PENANA1tb0KAYi5L
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their86Please respect copyright.PENANAasNlwroTLV
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach86Please respect copyright.PENANAS8hlwaxQTF
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows86Please respect copyright.PENANAdVfegIAqVc
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became86Please respect copyright.PENANA35ntOSidfT
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe86Please respect copyright.PENANAzhnw2flW5s
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly86Please respect copyright.PENANATlcIy10cJn
more and then impact was finally made...86Please respect copyright.PENANA0VvoJ8y8e4
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than86Please respect copyright.PENANA8t8FvoOpQ0
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of86Please respect copyright.PENANABH0LKqGtza
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found86Please respect copyright.PENANAc1t5urAdPf
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.86Please respect copyright.PENANASevPUKSJmn
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has86Please respect copyright.PENANAlal3TRHgSg
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to86Please respect copyright.PENANA3oSTQtiqbf
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any86Please respect copyright.PENANApossqcy5Oc
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this86Please respect copyright.PENANAX7rzaSDyMa
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of86Please respect copyright.PENANA3TAmTh2CS6
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
