It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlajDmeUpXl
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uNbF5TjrO
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4We5IJnDCf
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAmSFG5uzl
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IbAMJgEcI
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8NsJNnIAM
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D4E3KZaqA
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFaixspXB3
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2G8i9rJhF
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt9T3zIN8K
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6MywrKWL
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9wrxIDHVc
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2HO37oBhL
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPXwVu7K3M
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6FOxwERGO
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uRHUDRyRB
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL3GlYM8aS
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQHMPjmYzR
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LyJc9VSUI
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ6L7znKx6
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7vxrFDzL0
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTB3vuyfcQ
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc91pjlrjw6
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThPiqVGnb5
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Iz4ZiQAN
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUlkWkQfHq
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dsNdH5iyv
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPAJCebnAg
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR5A4GnyDu
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH1BXX91Hu
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzmrLIDrzk
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZweYf8xV7
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iPWKIzIWp
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyHhd0HZ4d
patiently.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrlrCsFUDz
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDtj160iaw
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1eLAtPSes
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeqNfcK8wB
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVXV2z835j
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmK0KbY0Sw
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXxhyCDJq
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf8QXXKU3M
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcLNSmPF2t
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlZKTmSqd5
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb49EzDM2cp
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAvwIhnsKP
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KKjJkzaIJ
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArA9I9DCDI
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqfvIomYJ9
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4XpMCqIlo
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2aVpvqDNL
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU91LoCgYah
weather and all.”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4bhUURACk
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk82ll78Nan
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnsKuwwfHs
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwd8C6n7Ph
Rhim, you go first.”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqGJiIRR8p
