“I hate this part.”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy96tnm5pZ
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDVMTOj938
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcjQniypsG
“Rhim!”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkKgj4p8fr
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKdQqmcjoC
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e9YC93YdY
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxpj035H2
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQJnynGdt7
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk9S4V3h55
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L5PcZcG86
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFNZ1iNz5U
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojdedRQt4
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUONqL8GRa
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WXYZsQ61n
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t7PXwuASM
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdioS5K04Kp
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyCtadYgTh
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfSyvvsvWc
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Dv90Qslz
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofawZtZ5Wo
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeOfZHglGC
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NEevdlAZ5
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X837Dj2hB
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaqD7O5xXR
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonmC7l7Wcl
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5SY3fnDtl
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH7zvD5UCu
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV1SE5R2W8
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfaK0MCKr5
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELgsNkWJkb
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbGarX4BoU
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatot2nG8qO
“In three... two... one... Mark!”301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcwHS7EMAj
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALJ1S98FO8
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov461XhPFs
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBzpekzlld
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KAwo3unin
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ7kFXxrtX
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrwoQhFcRd
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0oAJglzKL
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6JN3vYhtg
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjSCRKW5HN
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWePgjNBpZ
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy330sL4yV
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBA34jTNqU
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZhZF1brme
more and then impact was finally made...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszYW9ydZiF
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wiWwnKi5Z
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4cIrbYUtD
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOaga4CxJj
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmiFTibez1
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8iLKtAwvA
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nfZm78fGQ
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tb92X17Tb
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNu6NXUF7Q
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpr5cGabow
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
