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
