It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1laVoexQG
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMctlhLsB
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vJO4KW8Yx
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuBCCcCOdZ
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZqyy4YLwS
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ9uwcfunZ
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMlou3XBMN
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3g1mEYwAo
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxliDwKNYj4
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMgc0wRCoQ
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCSVT3yGoW
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDnWHYRv2F
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCxQedmLQp
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6q8KgDHBy
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEwZLDT4Pw
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyerwbFFkKQ
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvlEYYa8c7
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufGrIxAFTD
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPG0Nn1xQo
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs01pJfW34e
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwJHMxfHpV
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNa2dt0ywM
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2feHsHJpk
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguNSuTdO4c
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL3BlJQD7I
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbx1PcWJKy
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJx4sYqvLr
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4DtgGFBf9
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfA6B1MWS9
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U3jG2OGN2
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Z9RNA990
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM76XymOVQv
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XqJY5IL1D
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiVksd6K5K
patiently.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrduze01p1S
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOTdUPtdGu
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzTNp2Ki0t
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz26Yv7CVzW
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8KHV0MsoY
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmbssvFZNX
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE5rRliDYC
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxwHXT0GUJ
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34KKbfVoGz
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5nFYzxJ3x
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEidQhAsZoH
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMIkdfDZqY
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH130mWaTWe
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLAN4S2aVa
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5kertJX5w
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKOh9APco
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMkebywOf0
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyvTL0z0QP
weather and all.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08fmyuS1DT
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZWoFgOLHf
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JGHCicflU
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYiHVtqU3m
Rhim, you go first.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoM3h0E77J
