“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
