“I hate this part.”268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE3Uumpa67
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSEy9pARt8
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7opBKtP0Ix
“Rhim!”268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmxkIFoNjp
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctvcubrdUm
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2oXAQVpIO
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdjq3m3YrN
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjvmK2jGb4
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YThpfupZD
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKky8iWgS6t
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkeykeauKH
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBmnrJPKkU
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQBrT0j2zw
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdCgmYFvyG
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRtUj58U6z
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpHAmD8xD
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zwLpisOXv
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNRkptmzNg
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmf4dum6Og
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJbXHFxjjG
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBEoS6S9go
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnHxX7WFUB
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECgQn6HXrI
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q9LLWDlOU
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jWbcUyUIQ
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Mjp4u94V
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspspJSQ1Tr
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPHJrtyuPW
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErlH6F6skP
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RS32ykJBd
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ba1YoSBNd
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoKVDPAf8w
“In three... two... one... Mark!”268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp114JPGa46
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXjGFYxnSV
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgHkwxjTVW
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJssgYAdJCe
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97v0ZqZCEn
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8afKIR5rY
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGF7upuEvI
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSYKvsHg0S
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj65eURsJZ
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2wsUyEy3d
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaHhWZEbPj
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqkWAoKZTl
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWeMiCGjyf
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieU5YiBKty
more and then impact was finally made...268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkDAWqHbd5
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngaymcl8sD
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEXTdCQmgo
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyjjluMZFf
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr0tYBHxKF
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVBEVVVNUR
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftmws9nE76
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxEEtSNmHN
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbL1XL8R9a
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB1fWoCBup
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
