“I hate this part.”389Please respect copyright.PENANAdRN20x7x87
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.389Please respect copyright.PENANA69xttovfym
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”389Please respect copyright.PENANAF7Zr4HAiti
“Rhim!”389Please respect copyright.PENANAqiHQJZNoGl
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.389Please respect copyright.PENANAWs8mAhCFxL
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a389Please respect copyright.PENANA2uo4tdi8os
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”389Please respect copyright.PENANAVhgViJ6I5F
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much389Please respect copyright.PENANAXzB2UOxDIK
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick389Please respect copyright.PENANAwwEmxK7YIo
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...389Please respect copyright.PENANAbaj8vHVDOK
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry389Please respect copyright.PENANAUInqXgxutl
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit389Please respect copyright.PENANAUp8RSiloM9
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of389Please respect copyright.PENANAPRm9hwgl5q
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five389Please respect copyright.PENANA1StO2yPehr
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now389Please respect copyright.PENANAivSUGylhBd
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even389Please respect copyright.PENANAYaZWSw9vM4
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any389Please respect copyright.PENANACz6EzcrhNF
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the389Please respect copyright.PENANAswW9awSFRs
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.389Please respect copyright.PENANAZcdyfDK3XV
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”389Please respect copyright.PENANAYZbQzxHT60
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their389Please respect copyright.PENANAj1ML08qzLM
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared389Please respect copyright.PENANAWHA0rU3Fdi
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that389Please respect copyright.PENANAkjGw0s9SV8
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned389Please respect copyright.PENANAq93K5QoWI8
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to389Please respect copyright.PENANAsYcweGGNgF
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling389Please respect copyright.PENANAm5p5XqSTAL
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself389Please respect copyright.PENANASyAxEu7dYm
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of389Please respect copyright.PENANAnSA2qAid2R
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the389Please respect copyright.PENANAFgz1snLUxJ
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go389Please respect copyright.PENANASU6KGlBftc
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.389Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ7lw3mfz4
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,389Please respect copyright.PENANAe7bIjL1F2g
“In three... two... one... Mark!”389Please respect copyright.PENANAUx2cdsZorv
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one389Please respect copyright.PENANAC3b4J0puhK
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance389Please respect copyright.PENANAm5PslSfnYu
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.389Please respect copyright.PENANAwEFTGRTZhJ
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority389Please respect copyright.PENANAjYkx9gNU7y
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around389Please respect copyright.PENANABoiuqrW2ce
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and389Please respect copyright.PENANAOJb51iuwju
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.389Please respect copyright.PENANACzfCScRxSj
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their389Please respect copyright.PENANAlxpVsXuTK4
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach389Please respect copyright.PENANABpvXhCh88M
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows389Please respect copyright.PENANAQbnOJmoHqq
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became389Please respect copyright.PENANA9NavlNexqO
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe389Please respect copyright.PENANAiyp2Yegqn9
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly389Please respect copyright.PENANAkFxC12gbaG
more and then impact was finally made...389Please respect copyright.PENANApV5f7lH3Zs
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than389Please respect copyright.PENANALRhAYWQXK0
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of389Please respect copyright.PENANA26tgrhGED7
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found389Please respect copyright.PENANA8iBudrcQX9
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.389Please respect copyright.PENANAtukzpjSS8I
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has389Please respect copyright.PENANAMdCe449SXy
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to389Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qyn5WuBDO
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any389Please respect copyright.PENANAGo43lVrjze
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this389Please respect copyright.PENANAfm4oIauH7q
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of389Please respect copyright.PENANAM8tA2WtUDe
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”389Please respect copyright.PENANAuGANGHXEVF
