“I hate this part.”374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxnMzgiiIh
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegVDdSkoB3
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlEiwhMO2X
“Rhim!”374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8WgDPNl17
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRW1C6WVvV
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbUPJpceBk
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsA0Z0RzlV
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XCQnqZ9Bh
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatygJQH0SD
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinprG8M4LU
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCRjPsAQ5F
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZklliXFFsM
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOtdTVO0ME
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadfrk3KsGN
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJgVHRTlB6
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfnMhKQYYU
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFN07xjUhE
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemRlJPKfi0
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKLtte6w80
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp7A2K8qTH
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9xx4whd1T
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQIdJAaHS
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu98v4kWL2
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKCI1WWL7a
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfz4MRgChz
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vOCHCgfPL
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uc5jXI8be
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPiim1r4f
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrJKmZ0gpp
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4PmVa2QY7
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf0r8ZeYG2
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsORRbd6fh
“In three... two... one... Mark!”374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtciK4Bv8BV
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEWnblWLTa
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNkcPtugB6
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKJOut2W2r
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1udngNL0E
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4j5kqf8Jf
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1cO251Poh
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU2sUlZO5l
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl1LLpU9V1
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsELy2iCJW
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjkCKbs5R1
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwMQB9lWsG
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtDq5Pzrrw
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6psa0fJ4De
more and then impact was finally made...374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEGvlcK95G
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAxmNsfDRp
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq8hPjmyZP
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY3MEAnTYj
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNTKZFeyjX
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiWTpImapp
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonaw334OyM
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoY3U2tapS
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeWKaabSOy
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlmDokwsgo
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdvfnjRJKn
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZViGzhZGqS
