It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMu85lOp5F
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcOUgeYgip
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROvhaS0oPR
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5JrQXDl2g
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNm3Ik382m
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO5cjv4lsO
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrLs5Yb00C
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvi3HTw6AS
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHO7FAtm9K
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN4uWtfaex
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CbzRb1CHa
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLXxRrqhhS
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW87uFHiXx3
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QYuwwippp
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bYGesRN92
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtLENxG3R
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqiVksfe28
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5PzzhNjjy
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBswE2xfu5u
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM4MKuogVT
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkpK1aZqOz
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8LCrXP2zv
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdgYgvvuP4
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Izo1hzpm
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavn1KOoK13
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84VaW8f76I
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaOjy9ivV1
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovudBbXUog
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V6TtOdP8w
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6kMGYofuI
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiSJSe6Pm
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOShjhFKn9
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeES4nns0fz
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba6qJwq4ud
patiently.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonwKqt8TXO
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8As8N88n0
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbQgboTvkI
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8NQGEJUd3
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKBKgCO5O
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdIM9rTLbC
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIlow7Xj3M
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJxxUDsYu
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOurL2E3Bal
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopCoTv403K
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ4hbAJ6E2
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtABiJhhjkN
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL9AtywtI5
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElpeCPo1G
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEux2sLIIFG
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vhqiBOfDO
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR7cjJ3h77
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW8WtRkfS5
weather and all.”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVpSr3mx1r
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShqfy3GC5
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUQZ6C9S24
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQznuDgzR2
Rhim, you go first.”416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfqhKtts49
