“I hate this part.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwcWWVUDpo
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAsVib6Cw9
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCAaVQ8ook
“Rhim!”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMFnd4MlN0
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkIv8s70fG
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJJvkQzug
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pOmqdzVYM
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFhFT1dXRD
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSkSaGldyN
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FtcISZbde
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DuySeyq5
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfVvRltmWx
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsXtuEIakJ
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDUp9V9tx
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NiWCkJVN5
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKB8u45rZM
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGKG0lfI1q
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpZEBavuiH
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf3ngYmIjx
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVkBfXxDqm
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0lblVZgMq
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG1wxHXgnL
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps1N05WdZU
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzIQ0cvOdA
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCgnaQ12x
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwygZieKNYc
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YLL2icwuH
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSBRn9FM0S
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf4E7Gqppp
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt1w1Fa3pB
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3VhFYTIzf
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKli7yduskW
“In three... two... one... Mark!”372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZGQ6GUYWH
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsEDosaqvJ
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowKDDn7vOk
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Eg9Z3TFc
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOUMZ7SGj3
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xYLVyjwF3
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6IuJw9xZS
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpb3d7JG3e
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndrw8O3JCm
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxmzjgBM6y
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuw7wFtNo2
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthSUiVAHRS
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j8mtgo4Jx
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qGIpDWrlq
more and then impact was finally made...372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw77YclBjI
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPERxyjGOD
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB50PdEyUEH
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W4Y5eruMv
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ169RpnxsQC
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSmFToGtQy
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcqZXxGt2q
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vW46E8dMc
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMgCRhmbC3
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz45xjnwfA
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
