“I hate this part.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiXdZzFZA8
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBCFjiSznP
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBLiR05eXn
“Rhim!”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejK8BYHcmV
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWNBXh1FJE
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDqYbH245m
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquNVNAFrRG
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgjzEVK54
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXHnaSb8A8
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfZQOL6vBc
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz5qQeTogn
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ393n0MwsCS
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZRDjKqDOG
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPXkcGc7JK
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHaAGqNE0v
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2amgjoJJBc
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNn3564dfq
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsra99xrVIM
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQaq1bikhl
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmkPDKH6g6
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BxRBgdXsT
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HLPMm5Wqg
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTXvxjEuN3
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8LgM2GUBr
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9mhVWNdza
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5GDv1ZgXa
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemW1Yfydvf
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtOdarLwkf
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSQwujBz4J
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ48Go5RWp1
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdtlaYbwGk
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB5OR41E62
“In three... two... one... Mark!”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdYCPISMo6
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dCxuaHYJh
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMxWizmQxb
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9NTolIw9J
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPsBd4NmnP
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvVoS9n327
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OmdA1v9ci
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBWgemLvsQ
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5No5UoXCR
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Psz32L0dK
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tcp6PZ3Z
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj4VIgfUiv
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW9RXxV5UV
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw0CTs06lK
more and then impact was finally made...332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMghP8DVBUd
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRK1DiANiW
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwfhiC7wFj
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48N76nxNcu
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZNh0TGY9J
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE4fe1dCCg
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1mb88k2c9
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LnlkAD89L
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcloDpeAX4n
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXUv6XctGF
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgaNmJpnju
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldKVHmBfP3
