“I hate this part.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLEm65oNnY
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOGo5wqCLt
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjkVjUxXxq
“Rhim!”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwL5v0xdFv
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUXhZDQn86
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdsvYj1XqE
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2jFJ7Veo6
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBOCUChr36
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DGF7h7qBQ
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYbJDinzMs
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdakWKYMOCZ
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXru1crcJ6
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwn6F7udX1
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV0pvNzMyO
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagDXlzumql
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx3F2JxEcO
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBv0mtVV9z
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiPl8hf4YS
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDmhojVIgi
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6NuziDHgt
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFone8kVXY
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIEW8UEcAg
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX0PaAUgD4
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkw7Kdp038
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvr8RsxGrU
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E3EUF1dDG
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgDtEMlnBG
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeEQY96BXe
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1tOuRq55l
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxDhH4L50X
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbNjFQAEL3
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZS3xTPzr0
“In three... two... one... Mark!”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNUkMxVKZp
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0pyShe8ZM
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHXcblVHsp
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0DftjIJs5
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo7fTNXRU5
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXJBhqdUdL
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VGw0XyIIH
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oS351CcZQ
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGCbbJHY36
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvNVMdEW27
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa70gG3h0uB
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj2zUk1cdd
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnkltX8R9b
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPQNgyMPLA
more and then impact was finally made...377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMpyYrGkcP
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIObdd1N2VE
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPvl2mxZjc
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8mkUk6ptQ
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS5yyAnsjy
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3yrju8p81
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFiAfpYfj6
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEavPUpfsY
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY00vZYEdt
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsAa52n1NF
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ZvHxMUee
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWULitJzgC
