“I hate this part.”397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Xr9m3pmX
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonLRPl563u
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT5iv1Z6am
“Rhim!”397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC5KLDtrr9
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwGawJJlsY
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoCfbtVehP
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NOUP78OKL
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSGzwdZUML
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmGg4Kin3a
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnYEH3LjY9
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugWbNYeCuw
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG9W6k13MO
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7nkTSBcGM
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBATqqMbGt
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQpntxkX9Z
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0lSnd1hD3
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfJLtabI50
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaY789pd2g
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNgMBOKg2o
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQOllE6Ins
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77kGpcq5P4
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ4cyvabHZ
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVciRkuD8V
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QUzcJH8Bv
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nastI1vhU
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW3kuBrp3y
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BplPRe1Fb
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gnYW5QNUO
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPomVOBiCw
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkutcXiYI6Y
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY87WRYaD4
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNUbJHQ3zK
“In three... two... one... Mark!”397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZ0fVzfvD
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopiqsWkOFB
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx417tqWjWf
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpq0Xk6sDY
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHjBwYXxoH
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9l6WASt5b
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1NbpKr3ip
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRtz7TLC5L
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFtdwTTB6
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzMFTbU0ie
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9r1wQjdD
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN30Ykmc67l
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSehwxa5Qy
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYq5rnfoHz
more and then impact was finally made...397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQg51654er
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GXFaRjkCv
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUjScjoEiD
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuls8EjkWS
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDYW2submQ
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MGVsu6VDe
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItInttIBnb
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhww699euiz
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRItlOh9c8
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8kQOrE85
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSF2wJwzXG
