“I hate this part.”390Please respect copyright.PENANAvCKm0z07UU
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.390Please respect copyright.PENANA2sBpinh77N
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”390Please respect copyright.PENANAvlX4OxHrPG
“Rhim!”390Please respect copyright.PENANAulfcroY8j0
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.390Please respect copyright.PENANAA1nWTLiVgr
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a390Please respect copyright.PENANAcsFmeBw2i4
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”390Please respect copyright.PENANAlu9hZVxEVb
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much390Please respect copyright.PENANAUMLJ5Pvg3e
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick390Please respect copyright.PENANAwL6FiGXlgo
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...390Please respect copyright.PENANAmA9f07poEY
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry390Please respect copyright.PENANA1IV8mUGe9E
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit390Please respect copyright.PENANAvFHme2Y2RS
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of390Please respect copyright.PENANAL7eB64GoIX
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five390Please respect copyright.PENANAKwMrvf2S6j
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now390Please respect copyright.PENANAYSH84uwadQ
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even390Please respect copyright.PENANAZj8kzwmkmy
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any390Please respect copyright.PENANAE0gxPyJ1nT
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the390Please respect copyright.PENANAjuW68cEZuu
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.390Please respect copyright.PENANAeqYfXfZlPz
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”390Please respect copyright.PENANA6yispK5sTG
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their390Please respect copyright.PENANATJWQUSEex6
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared390Please respect copyright.PENANAp3s170G1mB
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that390Please respect copyright.PENANAMybPvGi4QS
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned390Please respect copyright.PENANAObxIB72Sde
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to390Please respect copyright.PENANAP1tb40hYnL
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling390Please respect copyright.PENANAiaODoUrYfC
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself390Please respect copyright.PENANAfsKRaEiJj8
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of390Please respect copyright.PENANAv4pvjmYAU2
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the390Please respect copyright.PENANAsn0xPO33CK
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go390Please respect copyright.PENANAmXcJGguyVh
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.390Please respect copyright.PENANAlaC2KrolEA
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,390Please respect copyright.PENANAUf4fBVIeTM
“In three... two... one... Mark!”390Please respect copyright.PENANAbr0fl32ZJe
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one390Please respect copyright.PENANAQtUAKZvEag
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance390Please respect copyright.PENANAMA38dhNUTU
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.390Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xbrox3OW5
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority390Please respect copyright.PENANArCS8vqqCVP
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around390Please respect copyright.PENANAnTyElo8uit
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and390Please respect copyright.PENANAqP8BVLLmEk
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.390Please respect copyright.PENANAhtPoXok6w2
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their390Please respect copyright.PENANA7Otyf294cC
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach390Please respect copyright.PENANAcKo7cFz4aI
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows390Please respect copyright.PENANAqngCiL5veL
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became390Please respect copyright.PENANALQ2hLAKA8w
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe390Please respect copyright.PENANAHSEITfkj6l
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly390Please respect copyright.PENANACRikQlCN6P
more and then impact was finally made...390Please respect copyright.PENANAf9Q6qCmWIy
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than390Please respect copyright.PENANAE7PZXAhrYq
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of390Please respect copyright.PENANAixqatOK9HO
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found390Please respect copyright.PENANAXOGMx5fZWI
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.390Please respect copyright.PENANAGHIPtRXcmh
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has390Please respect copyright.PENANAsSMaROGHvu
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to390Please respect copyright.PENANAfYvaJIt6pF
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any390Please respect copyright.PENANA9ugmOSl07P
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this390Please respect copyright.PENANA7bL1G03TVO
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of390Please respect copyright.PENANAU6AGyOUrMY
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”390Please respect copyright.PENANASxGeEKhZFW
