It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way366Please respect copyright.PENANAoGMdHLmpyx
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a366Please respect copyright.PENANAKxQaqLG031
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft366Please respect copyright.PENANAyzr5J6o6zh
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not366Please respect copyright.PENANAjAlpV2TQ2V
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way366Please respect copyright.PENANAiG59qLpWrT
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and366Please respect copyright.PENANAmWN1boufcf
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be366Please respect copyright.PENANABpFspXyW0v
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern366Please respect copyright.PENANANACrB747jN
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many366Please respect copyright.PENANAenxutgJjwR
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many366Please respect copyright.PENANA8dImWUXs6q
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to366Please respect copyright.PENANAZCEBb4DBMf
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,366Please respect copyright.PENANAV38qsNvYs3
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim366Please respect copyright.PENANA30of7asni4
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible366Please respect copyright.PENANAsOwTCkHJO1
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have366Please respect copyright.PENANAMj8LNj0bTo
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim366Please respect copyright.PENANAHyk7tNEqHG
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few366Please respect copyright.PENANAsNj3qU5Kui
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...366Please respect copyright.PENANAs8HHRcckI1
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after366Please respect copyright.PENANAKtb9aeXfzp
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.366Please respect copyright.PENANAr4MZnn6YVp
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the366Please respect copyright.PENANAlXxEeyEvms
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.366Please respect copyright.PENANAEopjdk1EF1
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept366Please respect copyright.PENANARoDNkxE8ur
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...366Please respect copyright.PENANAfniNKPG6Nc
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword366Please respect copyright.PENANABv7GGjIyXu
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAQGGuNCP4rl
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous366Please respect copyright.PENANApl7cKZThz8
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on366Please respect copyright.PENANAGRsIRBTSfM
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.366Please respect copyright.PENANAJJJfSbxOTr
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice366Please respect copyright.PENANAEEt1tv4RSC
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept366Please respect copyright.PENANAtW4rAK4eKw
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...366Please respect copyright.PENANASmyqiB2eRb
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,366Please respect copyright.PENANAZuSu9QjGcl
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting366Please respect copyright.PENANAR8uzFc11po
patiently.366Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ4H9LfmbN
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAbNCZHvODql
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having366Please respect copyright.PENANAtoY5K7rFCJ
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”366Please respect copyright.PENANATGene4AhaY
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking366Please respect copyright.PENANAKB7pbAgLRh
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”366Please respect copyright.PENANAVUcbAhnprs
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving366Please respect copyright.PENANA2wJre8fH37
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”366Please respect copyright.PENANAMCO9cvorfX
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time366Please respect copyright.PENANAPyVKJpDuVZ
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain366Please respect copyright.PENANA1KO2JVJiwf
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things366Please respect copyright.PENANAYjbKsa067n
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”366Please respect copyright.PENANAnBF5GFy7JJ
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the366Please respect copyright.PENANAvB2AwYteGk
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAuzJLc1yD8z
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of366Please respect copyright.PENANAe3VOVNKSb2
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were366Please respect copyright.PENANAskvE5l4ySA
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for366Please respect copyright.PENANATg9Q5Jwezz
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty366Please respect copyright.PENANAHKK0qKDm5X
weather and all.”366Please respect copyright.PENANA4YbdX6QwiN
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file366Please respect copyright.PENANAgimvycdgat
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we366Please respect copyright.PENANApfrXbr23bP
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.366Please respect copyright.PENANAhVJWhzf4Kl
Rhim, you go first.”366Please respect copyright.PENANAAlgGr299It
