“I hate this part.”99Please respect copyright.PENANANBasinXytu
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.99Please respect copyright.PENANAdKi3gHKYao
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”99Please respect copyright.PENANAamqMtqEF0M
“Rhim!”99Please respect copyright.PENANAaAVgSHV1LX
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.99Please respect copyright.PENANAM20XoIDCuU
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a99Please respect copyright.PENANAE6En66jEyw
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”99Please respect copyright.PENANAGhareKnDPe
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much99Please respect copyright.PENANA9NNlNKh2wR
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick99Please respect copyright.PENANAr7jJn06W31
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...99Please respect copyright.PENANAe2gxEm03L2
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry99Please respect copyright.PENANAkLzFiVW511
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit99Please respect copyright.PENANAf5nhtorpVY
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of99Please respect copyright.PENANA4EXC69AxJo
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five99Please respect copyright.PENANAicrQ4bmvM9
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now99Please respect copyright.PENANA88rzDeZUej
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even99Please respect copyright.PENANA3ucbMczKy5
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any99Please respect copyright.PENANA6a6hAigj5K
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the99Please respect copyright.PENANARSVBo8J1hr
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.99Please respect copyright.PENANAnaHzXqRCtH
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”99Please respect copyright.PENANA4O2PuMGvKE
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their99Please respect copyright.PENANARJRIbAfRnL
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared99Please respect copyright.PENANA0HLVAzeyOh
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that99Please respect copyright.PENANAavKK2pyjrt
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned99Please respect copyright.PENANAaf61NuvE0M
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to99Please respect copyright.PENANAW6zqZVaT3W
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling99Please respect copyright.PENANAomYA7xmXEF
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself99Please respect copyright.PENANAuEPEEyhBDt
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of99Please respect copyright.PENANA0ulor2cc0X
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the99Please respect copyright.PENANAO1loVN4N1a
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go99Please respect copyright.PENANAbxwZNDVocU
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.99Please respect copyright.PENANAdohc84tDGr
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,99Please respect copyright.PENANArmff53Qt0M
“In three... two... one... Mark!”99Please respect copyright.PENANAI3i0wvNNZu
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one99Please respect copyright.PENANA7pUBUJSxsL
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance99Please respect copyright.PENANAAAAzRbnuET
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.99Please respect copyright.PENANAqN5f1kWQdB
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority99Please respect copyright.PENANAkArgtRlJDX
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around99Please respect copyright.PENANAAq08xy8aQJ
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and99Please respect copyright.PENANATgYGWzlKTu
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.99Please respect copyright.PENANASqTjqHcLod
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their99Please respect copyright.PENANASQXzApWJEO
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach99Please respect copyright.PENANABV2deWlgrf
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows99Please respect copyright.PENANAp449SSAteQ
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became99Please respect copyright.PENANAihXSIFtCD8
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe99Please respect copyright.PENANAsXfWqR22Ap
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly99Please respect copyright.PENANATG9nsAIzLv
more and then impact was finally made...99Please respect copyright.PENANAXIhaoItlxx
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than99Please respect copyright.PENANAwzMATb2s1D
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of99Please respect copyright.PENANAuKNdqXU6p1
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found99Please respect copyright.PENANAhR9h2zVaRk
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.99Please respect copyright.PENANAhkumDPPABv
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has99Please respect copyright.PENANAdJOdYVXz3i
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to99Please respect copyright.PENANAGWupA0xp0Y
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any99Please respect copyright.PENANAwPnxrcr7we
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this99Please respect copyright.PENANAzYNaG500Hs
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of99Please respect copyright.PENANAOyX3w88ege
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
