It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way422Please respect copyright.PENANAqfFAJV79CK
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a422Please respect copyright.PENANAh83FSla6Zw
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft422Please respect copyright.PENANAUJjwLxIbfQ
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not422Please respect copyright.PENANAx4hFWhW6I9
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way422Please respect copyright.PENANAjiovqmDahX
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and422Please respect copyright.PENANAiYb60fecuE
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be422Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qd69eByoD
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern422Please respect copyright.PENANAHQVRyh5cII
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many422Please respect copyright.PENANAYu7xbGw6j3
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many422Please respect copyright.PENANAgX7PLsSlWC
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to422Please respect copyright.PENANAJa13E2A0Nz
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,422Please respect copyright.PENANAaSxOqitwFM
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim422Please respect copyright.PENANAvyiQZ7zDQ5
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible422Please respect copyright.PENANAxMfvohVj3E
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have422Please respect copyright.PENANA1YIjnXdcaD
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim422Please respect copyright.PENANAl7tywEFhp2
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few422Please respect copyright.PENANAczndgNhk4c
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...422Please respect copyright.PENANAs60lLVZo8P
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after422Please respect copyright.PENANArLpWtx9xpc
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.422Please respect copyright.PENANAvA7DFsEAob
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the422Please respect copyright.PENANALTafDt66Zk
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.422Please respect copyright.PENANAtYjHyUY7yp
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept422Please respect copyright.PENANA5JVCXNIUdN
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...422Please respect copyright.PENANA8zzhRckPtx
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword422Please respect copyright.PENANAaYYgh192gp
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”422Please respect copyright.PENANAqKflDGHMI0
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous422Please respect copyright.PENANAy1OiGM86Oy
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on422Please respect copyright.PENANAvch5JZr4LP
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.422Please respect copyright.PENANAbOUiPoqReU
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice422Please respect copyright.PENANA3RBxngT32A
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept422Please respect copyright.PENANA0gyEKfnPjm
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...422Please respect copyright.PENANAwYsYDDxSAM
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,422Please respect copyright.PENANAGEMxZRycEe
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting422Please respect copyright.PENANAWxSrouaXaY
patiently.422Please respect copyright.PENANAeR2lMezklJ
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”422Please respect copyright.PENANApqWtHJ7PRk
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having422Please respect copyright.PENANAkdkfysvxDh
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”422Please respect copyright.PENANA56qRdReuMU
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking422Please respect copyright.PENANACWDJwTsKoV
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”422Please respect copyright.PENANAAu4nMq414w
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving422Please respect copyright.PENANAGO2OaFezEi
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”422Please respect copyright.PENANAkuip30fRLl
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time422Please respect copyright.PENANAvuyW4jclSO
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain422Please respect copyright.PENANAKeZoiih9mx
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things422Please respect copyright.PENANApnD2h2Tczg
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”422Please respect copyright.PENANA5B2cLMoOJd
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the422Please respect copyright.PENANAD3iuSOccs9
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”422Please respect copyright.PENANAHkmMFQmHCK
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of422Please respect copyright.PENANAWKZIgCZGgj
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were422Please respect copyright.PENANA7lEknltr6t
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for422Please respect copyright.PENANAqohnQHtKkf
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty422Please respect copyright.PENANAXRqtccTBZs
weather and all.”422Please respect copyright.PENANAwXbnQDLnXE
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file422Please respect copyright.PENANACTVsD1yh8e
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we422Please respect copyright.PENANADQRESQnISc
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.422Please respect copyright.PENANA6a7NlSr2Eo
Rhim, you go first.”422Please respect copyright.PENANAzVQcjY4y9e
