“I hate this part.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqua9UOhy0
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO2RvpPSRR
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg0KigINNZ
“Rhim!”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSfI7a59ba
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnw9tgY2bR
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXXiUbw5QC
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeswSkOK5at
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Vgb3nKiK
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSGLgwjjxy
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2RbIgW8Es
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNrot1auE
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzxvcNYiuA
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNTQHE5wjh
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47oOAn1KpG
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW26FvKaEmC
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ResVRjZzq
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUCio23g1j
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahInvkAfJc
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujU4w51Okm
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mCeOm8KzM
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbvZceEjxS
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA3r8adiP6
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9SwdurF6I
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2DCjxdC9t
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOUiuXZfrI
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfcPjbCOL5
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5AImxkgmm
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JU4bOvFFp
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkFPLFEygm
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZf8JISOno
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtwxvrsEzS
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwP91fHDiV
“In three... two... one... Mark!”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUZOcRMHAt
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xGV2wtHf4
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vzml1gRiB
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeNG2MvHfj
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsY0a8bLxv
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn0x9CiNJc
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKormS9c4Sf
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7SMluAJ8X
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMBaYHjn1u
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac4GSjn3vv
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNIv7FlzVk
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xFzQT0V9j
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkHA8ispc2
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarpLvm7PZu
more and then impact was finally made...292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkRQfyutSI
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW5AZbhwiB
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJikJxHuZ3
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9Z7949pLa
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodjqjYLT00
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8SLita8I0
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnRZh3a0mn
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLJd69Scs
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYDmtDvlLv
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg78d5T5bd
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6uy4BANgv
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Do1KHy3t
