“I hate this part.”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSfTRUuND8
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2rP10Kq5r
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzuPc0qA5V
“Rhim!”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ2KSIf3Tz
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh8Uy29iHy
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3YYemCpra
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQYqBR9t5M
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70LKSDovFL
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtKX37SrMf
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVW0V156f7
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WrKPXNrQt
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvZe6DI9Fy
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ9i6lYJeg
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xJKrO9BG
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKtqyfu1k7
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnYvKHaihz
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZ3tuJVaL
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1M0abdzr4
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5E5HLu1zz
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQBgYkH9m
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5TZiP7IzA
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBUuXOm0c
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwwuqEuOWp
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpPilDyS8Y
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SUxX5sDJh
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy9KQrP0cS
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM2NL42jxt
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgqQ0wgJ5N
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb5QvnbdRT
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I9YHLlozV
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfSZKZ5wmF
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtCau9pAB
“In three... two... one... Mark!”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDclOZWNLPx
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTA0E7JzVT
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdKuZYl3iB
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9klY2IzkEb
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMvLSZzzeb
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB4XrxfuYi
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcnHgyvAcg
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LnJz2aKuB
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIhHVOIMWK
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVXRkwx3yW
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLgRi99Uln
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrXKl286UT
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVln48F2wUZ
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBzVXvpfEW
more and then impact was finally made...302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OKbzzTRbC
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6DchKiiDK
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVRouJCqBT
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUZijq5Mv0
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2rhcDbBhK
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoSWyckyxp
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGcdRwV8AI
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIMbfJyTFs
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQcBsIwEWv
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH8zqTdkXt
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
