It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8wfXqjh7S
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuNImpwuZg
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5KsEKODjd
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqG7iCFltD
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrxEgrcql2
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiALj4aK5H
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkqz0Rvrc
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmU89MYH9P
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8SNMBGvQ7
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wNVUw2MQc
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAZb5E3Hui
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4FAtLvni9
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypdA81pXn
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxajqM40oN
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6144Wt48W
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM0hI8qgvT
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqQoL0n294
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM0vjwmjAU
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZQTI6gPCv
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WrwxVUjWL
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSIjxx3twv
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwbsgeSkS
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7wvw596o9
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlbKdUKpgG
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqBbOWR3FZ
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnIWmgZect
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA2Zoplsjt
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlIqMMMqvJ
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq9hR4DiTy
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL5MKEAKVD
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaWuawFwP4
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01mUqF0Fn6
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjVhrDWfB
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmL6H9xSpA
patiently.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HUkQNOxYq
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCkqfzi2oL
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuQGcs4BD7
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpBtCP8qDM
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7mfuK2xNd
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWhfGDkyMS
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR2MYKz0hO
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0vXjcRkp8
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tFK8SAe9v
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqbddRdAS4
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpCxkcoFC
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnioTZWdZ7W
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hQ60pHUbq
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepz6iHnzqB
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn225C8oTai
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPZ7RmH26j
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanQvDnptj8
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiiAGSKHIO
weather and all.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKWW2XuXgF
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDjo4x8xSx
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ5jSG8I0g
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNaHftGk5y
Rhim, you go first.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOMmhNVcnk
