It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh93YVkT4l
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIT6zo0Xff
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3XjmmUEqV
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZo8LJbm1P
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpPcQwV5np
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn0R2yY2c9
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdODhDXWJST
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzjxvJpUdc
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMjjHkL3e6
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrcuCKl5Wi
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmwj8aU1I8
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3V2iD83gA
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu17nma0JLd
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5tdnV7H5B
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGQD9rN7Up
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJEkkEkno
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonwEqAqHxV
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBSoou9HAG
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xgR8gKXeV
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc9Rylc6FQ
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6J5Yk5zEL
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZB3XmdCF3
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7B0kX7ytu
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmA0Wlj4nJ
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORI7CXAjKy
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiatM1O69Ou
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKB00atGQb
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRZRf5PmwK
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWHGGuZ9kP
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtUzU9ozX2
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7ZA0j7Znk
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJazMlzMOaL
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbA2UWB8gW
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUtZKoJsdP
patiently.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7MfVl183P
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbV9Z7XQPZ
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kLCOmmN6y
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLKroeojn4
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAvH0flUKi
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLj36V5xiP
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XcDIKHNUm
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc981MIBpdF
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860LnqJobQ
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwD9SStlZQ
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc1qQSgcWq
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzKpe9qVyx
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi9QBSdhXL
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF9FwcmgWU
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3OGvKTDIJ
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaHH5mCiof
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUftpz6Ef9q
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt1uQhRhxE
weather and all.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcVAMrKENk
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkI4uHcsXR
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL00IQoqfr3
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRHtrq1OVV
Rhim, you go first.”417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPFu2WK4SS
