It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way408Please respect copyright.PENANAxeWoldg3HE
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a408Please respect copyright.PENANAR4qrrPw84V
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft408Please respect copyright.PENANAVt4t7AThiO
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not408Please respect copyright.PENANAQYGDQfD12t
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way408Please respect copyright.PENANArB6rqFOWjU
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and408Please respect copyright.PENANAR4RL6ozyF3
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be408Please respect copyright.PENANAeHMtYBE5vv
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern408Please respect copyright.PENANA0RBuIr0wc4
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many408Please respect copyright.PENANArms0AVJETT
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many408Please respect copyright.PENANA0bJyXRd9Cb
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to408Please respect copyright.PENANAFkpZzi4mtC
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,408Please respect copyright.PENANAdMrtAZuylL
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim408Please respect copyright.PENANAB4AV63ZWt7
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible408Please respect copyright.PENANAeyRyG8dFpl
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have408Please respect copyright.PENANAWtYXHTMM7e
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim408Please respect copyright.PENANAeZGOeTjTsM
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few408Please respect copyright.PENANA1knwomJoTF
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...408Please respect copyright.PENANAxQAzyaOzkl
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after408Please respect copyright.PENANAyKP5Zbrfrr
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.408Please respect copyright.PENANAHXgDZ3sMyS
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the408Please respect copyright.PENANAIJNoPyeK6p
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.408Please respect copyright.PENANAF1f4LeXnNb
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept408Please respect copyright.PENANAtJhWJuOc29
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...408Please respect copyright.PENANAfeIAUjNKmE
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword408Please respect copyright.PENANACAU2nkiluk
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”408Please respect copyright.PENANA8ex8gN75dD
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous408Please respect copyright.PENANAZy3kPeM2dO
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on408Please respect copyright.PENANAZmiEfx3aSL
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.408Please respect copyright.PENANAwIJHgsjrWs
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice408Please respect copyright.PENANATYiGn3dhDK
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept408Please respect copyright.PENANAOt0ufZmxtV
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...408Please respect copyright.PENANAXs6yKnWFaA
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,408Please respect copyright.PENANAq3kazNM4TF
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting408Please respect copyright.PENANAhPah2DH2Ge
patiently.408Please respect copyright.PENANAGI6wUWHt8G
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”408Please respect copyright.PENANALWsq3P6Slb
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having408Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z9pi9DOy9
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”408Please respect copyright.PENANAVI82fECHZM
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking408Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0xmuXB45s
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”408Please respect copyright.PENANAGs5tuBROSG
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving408Please respect copyright.PENANAZY2BCAGCEv
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”408Please respect copyright.PENANAQzmDDztqYE
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time408Please respect copyright.PENANAOg078xb3Nn
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain408Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6ctvGrvc1
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things408Please respect copyright.PENANAFnK8v4PkIY
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”408Please respect copyright.PENANAgiYVJXsDnf
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the408Please respect copyright.PENANAybGrkDddgW
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”408Please respect copyright.PENANABH3vwVed5Q
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of408Please respect copyright.PENANATwUUN7FagZ
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were408Please respect copyright.PENANAWEczRAdaAr
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for408Please respect copyright.PENANAtGN3AIXLrj
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty408Please respect copyright.PENANAaFNwV3ASA1
weather and all.”408Please respect copyright.PENANAJVAHWNDqTe
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file408Please respect copyright.PENANAtmZv3uHfSG
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we408Please respect copyright.PENANAHDEmxoOLsq
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.408Please respect copyright.PENANAInlkWucopL
Rhim, you go first.”408Please respect copyright.PENANA71OmEXFxyX
