It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8ZK0sE2Th
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf9YuS6PTM
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYOvwCmMfC
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTzqpf3DC5
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS6jQ1peCB
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvouORH60em
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wg8NPz0rN
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WVqV7ImF5
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4TT5xbRtj
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5q9bEThNJ
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI4ykYTesk
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7xLgnVybt
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTMTSwZ0S4
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSa4JjEQxf
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5jiYIb7Oz
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe8MkbVa3x
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BdeehdYo5
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzVSYdUqp0
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSh7v4hAJT
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdQYzVMtQm
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHBRZLXxFd
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCI6MdUqrZ
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3HiQJaBjl
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI05UcpBCsJ
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm77QH5qmX
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F6YuyH786
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDo2YG4knD
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhYE6Ff0ZH
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cFpcNlIS8
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTNRxYuRYp
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxoodEtn4n
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56r5LYAbxG
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIk4ny2Vtt
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVp9yFMmXw
patiently.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjjSS5j5cp
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIMiSbBda2
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C0vttTIkq
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvl0WlWZR3
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsEmlVPMLj
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FT3oYipWJ
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOKdEmfiZM
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfIzipUneI
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CoJHToZvs
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpVVVIbkJJ
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ817B3QHON4
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3CeDzlh6o
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD3SlSqrwJ
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1HrLa9LLD
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNzsgojRv0
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ea7I4pu52
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqesA6dnZuX
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADGRu6VjVQ
weather and all.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY2XP5n1MQ
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu2GdBPM6O
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzy20TmsWY
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwozcUMOZS
Rhim, you go first.”355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2etkyQTZRn
