“I hate this part.”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDZreA5Wmh
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPr3Z2DHoH
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOTCX3wfBY
“Rhim!”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBD2ysKbQH
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8cKFB0lkd
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp7aBRkQ2v
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTxO9O9R25
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvzXWbSCCN
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCLtoTB8Kq
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyUNwxrXD7
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ016juPdrlr
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3LWh9o6EO
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBVKSD2UtV
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyHkmTxcs1
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyNRdTenAZ
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAW8dYNEQC
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GzpbTYGHF
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarhVDQRtE0
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFDlNPTexZ
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGWaiRfazZ
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVf69bIrcN
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWygjdWkRI
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZZj3B6UWX
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoFM6iE5GX
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXhbZKTBTC
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadofr5pKzz
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg6Sk6Ok1t
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFUrvM88rx
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkvbqkj3RJ
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2xPPHOj9v
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDU5IZ5fe0
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXTO9l4Lpp
“In three... two... one... Mark!”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavzvEqnGxP
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SNTR40x4z
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlH0L2XDn2
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcknY5iWbm
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiPbJxf9gT
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypT3U79MkT
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kJKTA9UHE
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgygtFdt34
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTGXXtTI9S
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR40XEOnWUC
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPSY5994T
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPnjqjvGQQ
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc9gjheT0P
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkhYHFZyAK
more and then impact was finally made...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwGPbYjOKL
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIfjDedq6s
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXLuYUSmXr
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU3FrW0fzi
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxX1dAHHEu
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMWm7abpFj
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7eyMDSztU
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ396W7WqUmP
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kpDAw3FFD
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotXD18M1FF
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5c9bPxT4m
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdUdjhzqdb
