“I hate this part.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttKYsdoGbb
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVT6hqFFtR
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvce5qELowy
“Rhim!”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXytcDyMsCS
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcGGJNeRBE
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpucQGr9jaZ
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0XquvTrjS
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV9FOPOyFS
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcrrs2sMAy
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH5zJoA0W3
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiMpIc6azo
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbiCV5t2hm
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV07qQ3aLN
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJpoa0O6cM
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgHzvSpmQl
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczSOhRda2
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKBCsmSr3K
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC4CZeG9pl
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ztLsbHBKF
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT5rOnvi1K
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB2Ry0fAaL
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4EFEKcxWv
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcDKFceqxZ
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pKANYIPi3
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8PIJBIxCH
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IM4UobklF
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmhQTi5chG
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmvMfzPx5M
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwCDg0SfX8
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7d4OkNoDc
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQvkEXnw5K
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QKWacsneh
“In three... two... one... Mark!”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJKfJYGi4q
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytxoGZqDjz
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwL19mf8XP
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R9OfD9xuA
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUgxXR5Fn8
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowDnKs9s9F
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QFtoXuMrZ
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDy7yxu20v
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbuzr4j5Qn
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyPSCUlTFZ
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMoBX25c5f
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKF89COGN9
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkGARo0MDZ
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqhNXHJZb2
more and then impact was finally made...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPHysk7kiZ
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwantFGp2pP
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmYvmIXmPU
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetgTdtTTJ9
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVt3wjXzKB
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FRzCD29vN
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43r8T2nqdO
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfTXXuM84P
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0tA7SUxlB
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyBKktaC0X
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMduZEVYPo
