“I hate this part.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC8rZ6Pm02
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwruz7IbfN
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4zZFBuJ21
“Rhim!”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLtK6dMDp1
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m84wWERyc
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHPXyMAPJ2
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBLiCpAy4J
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mTR2veVB1
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wJAXoS4uE
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpf6sqZ0ky
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2IdQonh1k
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AAbuF4OFj
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHAVYPx12N
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJfk5Lm7ZW
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXg6TYWlSS
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QaeEt0NbQ
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAA3FQAl8I
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVIO0ma43T
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyaPhImwwz
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk0364YhOh
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbgtbtdwiO
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB1ZHIF4Vo
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmj42zuo2
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ655wePwSBU
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopu2j2D47R
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSUSJQmJkF
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9fClsldAO
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfDPnXiXAK
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ili5SEDxc
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptQzzeMvpM
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxZxgQgeT
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFHV6AgKhM
“In three... two... one... Mark!”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNYiw7T5RG
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSID5VGg89
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fgs5yXV63
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLMqznUCT0
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8P3s3GK43
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvegal0r9Ri
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVY7QVfWpv
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65aBn3wHrF
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswqqzqAw4L
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXarutMKDkW
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lRjZSMc5m
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7eN6DJ4w7
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3EnPYrth
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3KjyQp6i6
more and then impact was finally made...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkuZDlGJ6m
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8yXHncuiq
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIH6rAIWmk
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v4tRCOh3R
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApgo8IeAce
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhyxXq7B9I
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvMvZjIXJC
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuyKCUepZB
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89HwVmL5Ha
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGARGwetdBA
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
