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
